5 Things To Check Before Buying A Property

Investing in a property is a big decision. It takes a lot of research and a lot of money. A buyer must ensure he does his research thoroughly before he signs the property contract. If he has reservations or preferences about something, he must communicate it with the builder and get it incorporated in his contract. Let’s say, for example that you are looking at flats for sale in Thane, with the hope of purchasing one. Here are a few things you should check before you purchase it.

Check the approval and licenses: After finalizing the property you must check if the builder has all his paperwork in place including the work commencement certificate, approved building plans, environmental clearance etc. Also ensure you ask for the land title status and see if the land has been bought by the builder or if they have only the developmental right. Say you are investing in some residential projects in Thane; you must check documents such as

• Title deed
• Release certificate
• Encumbrance certificate
• Certificates verifying land use
• Approvals by local body
• Property tax receipts

Check the banks financing the project: Since purchasing a home is an expensive business, builders are typically tied up with many banks. E.g. in Thane, there are renowned builders like Neelkanth Group by T Bhimjyani Realty, Godrej Constructions, Piramal Group, Lodha Group etc. Most builders can guide you with your bank loan. You can choose a bank that offers the lowest interest rates and matches your EMI budget.

Check the plans for infrastructure: Choosing a locality which has good infrastructure and civic amenities and other futuristic planning options is a safe bet as they can tremendously boost your return on investment. A locality with good schools, hospitals, shopping complexes and entertainment centres is ideal.

Verify the builder: It is very important to research the track record of the builder. You must check if the piece of land on which your apartment is being built is or is not under litigation. You can get a good idea about the builders’ reputation based upon their past and current projects. You could also post queries on various online forums about real estate to get an estimate of the builder from former clients. If you are buying a home in Thane you can trust builders like Neelkanth Realty, Godrej Constructions, Rustomjee Builders etc.

Consider the apartment size: Before you set out to purchase a flat, understand your requirement based upon your family size, future plans, locality and so on. It makes more sense to finalize your apartment, after seeing a sample flat. Most builders typically have a sample flat to show, but in case they don’t, ensure you read the fine print and see that the builder is not claiming to sell 1000 square feet 2BHK flats which are actually just about 800 square feet. Check the carpet area before purchasing.

5 Things an NRI should know before investing in Indian Real Estate

In the last few years, the Indian Government has relaxed many laws pertaining to NRI investment in real estate. These new laws have made it easier for NRIs or non-resident Indians to purchase property in their mother-land. This has resulted in the popularity of the foreign investment market. However, there are a few things that NRIs ought to be aware of before they consider investing in India’s real estate market. These pointers may give Indian passport holders residing abroad the confidence to purchase a property while ensuring they do not break any government laws.

Type of property that can be purchased: NRIs are allowed to purchase, both residential as well as commercial properties. There is also no restriction on the number of properties NRIs can own. However, they cannot purchase agricultural lands, plantations or farmhouse. The only case in which an NRI can own agricultural land is if he/she receives it as a gift or as part of his inheritance.

Number of investments: An NRI is allowed to make any number of investments as there are no restrictions.

For instance, the NRI can hand over his power of attorney to a relative to purchase more than one under construction projects in Thane, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata or any other city or town within India.

Availability of loans: While resident citizens find it extremely easy to procure a home loan from Indian finance companies, the same benefit is also extended to NRIs.

If you are planning to buy a home soon, here are the top 4 qualities you must look for in real estate companies.

Choose a company that provides information transparently: The first thing to do is to select a company known for providing its clients with accurate information. It should be one which is up to date on policies and procedures and provides detailed manual enlisting answers to queries regarding your investment. E.g. the real estate company in Thane, T Bhimjyani Realty and others are known for providing specific details regarding the floor plan, size, taxes commissions and all other necessary information

The size of the office doesn’t matter: Many investors make the grave mistake of thinking that a smaller office means that the real estate company is not reliable and a bigger office means that you can trust it blindly. What truly matters for the investor is the company has achieved in its closed sales volume. You need to consider a company which is known for its successful projects completed. The Neelkanth Woods Project by T Bhimjyani is worth consideration.

Choose a company that provides timely deliverance: People who purchase under construction properties are generally promised certain occupancy dates i.e. a specific time in the near future when they would be handed over their house keys so that they can move in, due to which the investor has to make other arrangements (e.g. rental properties) before he can move in to his home. If real estate companies have the reputation of not honouring their deliverables, it is best to steer clear of them as they can mess your budget and affect your financials. The builder must acquire timely approvals from the governing bodies, NOCs and other necessary documents and provide you a fixed date to move in.
