Implementation of GST has been creating a buzz in the realty industry for the past one year with both homebuyers, as well as realtors, feeling the apprehension of its potentially disruptive effects on the industry. While homebuyers were keeping away from investing till recently, builders have been taking it easy too and not announcing too many new projects. There was about a 60% slowdown in sales in the top 6 cities in India during the first three quarters of 2017. The plus side to this situation was that with fewer new projects launched, the demand-supply of homes finally reached a balance, thus imparting equilibrium to the realty market. Furthermore, with the new attractive home loan rates, flexibility in payment plans as well as other freebies offered by builders, has all led to increased sales of unsold inventory in the mid-segment sector, increasing builders financial solvency. In the long term, GST is expected to be a sentiment booster for the real estate industry and the industr...

The latest trends and fashions don’t just apply to apparels or accessories, but also to interior designing of homes.

Interior designing isn’t just some no-brainer subject that involves mixing and matching of colors; rather, it’s an art that deals with the scientific knowledge of acoustics, lighting, both natural and electrical, movement of air and cross-ventilation by the correct placement of doors and windows, etc. An interior designer works along with the architects and engineers and compliments their work by providing inputs on correct placement of various relevant features to improve the aesthetics of the design.

The Indian customs are such that we are all expected to invest in a home of our own – and the pressure starts right from day one of our very first jobs! And truth be told, everyone aspires to live in a large spacious home that they can call their very own; a space that isn’t cramped and can comfortably house the family along with the additional visiting relatives, as our Indian traditions are prone to accommodate. A large home doesn’t necessarily translate to a mansion, just a comfortable space that’s about 2000 square feet or more doing the trick. Spacious homes translate to more personal space and privacy. Both these two factors are important to maintaining peace among family members as everyone craves their own personal space, their own little corner where they can ruminate and unwind in the privacy of their own thoughts. Once this privacy factor is addressed, there is more peace of mind, leading to greater happiness and good mental health. And where there is peace and happiness wit...

There comes a time in every renter’s life when they get fed-up of doling out money at the end of every month and tolerating the unreasonable ‘do’s and don’ts’ from the landlord. That the wake-up call when you realize there are other options out there as well that are pretty lucrative in the long run too. Many renters don’t realize that the money they put down each month can be used as EMI payments instead, towards a home that they would end up owning at the end of the day; this is against spending the same amount each month, lining somebody else’s pockets and still having no permanent of their own. It’s pretty obvious which option you would go for! And once you have decided to buy a property of your own, you first need to go shopping for a home loan; different banks offer different interest rates, so look for the one that offers the lowest interest rates and check how much loan you are eligible for. After this, you will have an idea of your budget for your new home and can shop accordi...

Investing in property is quite heavy on the pocket and you need to be very careful when buying; after all, it has taken you a while to save that precious nest egg and you wouldn’t want it going down the drain – something which has happened to many a home-buyer who has had a run-in with some unscrupulous property builder. When buying a property or home, one of the most difficult jobs is to check your builder’s credentials. So once you have finalized on a villa or apartment, the next thing is to do some sleuth work on the builder. You could start by verifying whether all the features, amenities, fittings and measurements shown in that glitzy brochure are actually there on ground. Next round of sleuth work involves going through the various permits that are required to start construction. Check whether the builder has an approved layout plan and has permission to start construction. Does he have environment clearance and is he building on land that is registered in his name – or does he j...

Investment in property is a great way of multiplying your assets with many a millionaire having made his bucks in the real estate market.

Such ownerships are only allowed if they are inherited or gifted to the NRI in q...

God made every human different, with their own set of likes and dislikes that are unique to each one of them. And when it comes to choosing between dwelling in the cities or the suburbs, opinions are always divided on which one is better; the city-dwellers would never kowtow to living in the suburbs and vice versa as country-living is as different from living in the city as white is from black! Many would argue that living in the city is better as you have access to numerous facilities which would otherwise be hard to avail of if living in the suburbs or rural areas. For example, the best hospitals and medical facilities are only available in the cities, so to access these facilities, you will need to travel to the city if you aren’t living there. This can prove to be inconvenient as changing base when sick is tough aside from being expensive. But then there is the flip side of the coin too that people who live away from cities don’t usually get the numerous kind of diseases that city-...
