Check the Impact of GST on Real Estate Sector

Image
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

Soft Furnishings - Meaning and New Trends

Image
Household textiles are commonly referred to as soft furnishings and include fabrics used anywhere in the home – it could be as draperies, curtains, rugs or carpeting or as upholstery fabrics used in creating sofas, cushioned chairs, throw pillows, or even padded headboards. Loosely speaking, soft furnishings could also include mundane items such as bath and dish towels, pillow covers, sheets, blankets, bed spreads, mattresses, quilts and comforters! That having been said, it’s the curtains, rugs and furnishings that use upholstery material and contribute to the ambience and comfort of a home that are of interest to the interior designers. These soft furnishings are the features that make the interiors of your home beautiful and give it a character all its own. When mixed and matched together, these soft furnishings create an ambience that is at once pleasing and welcoming and at the same time comfortable and easy too. With society getting more and more fussy and discerning about their

Interior design trends 2021

Image
The latest trends and fashions don’t just apply to apparels or accessories, but also to interior designing of homes. Just the way fashion in apparels is meant to enhance the beauty and shape of the wearer, interior designing is meant to make interior spaces more functional, safe and decorative with the correct use of colors and lighting. 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 field of interior designing gained prominence with advancements in the needs of the discerning members of society; it also arose due to an increasin

Ways in Which Spacious Homes Can Encourage Healthy Living

Image
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

Important Things to Remember Before Buying a New Property

Image
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

Ways to check a builder's reputation

Image
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

Legal Documents To Check Before Buying Land

Buying a property is a momentous occasion for most first-time homebuyers, right from the moment of making the decision to buy a property, going home-hunting and then finalizing the deal. The last stage of home-buying is however very critical, unknown to many homebuyers and can become a real nightmare if you go in unprepared. As there are many fraudulent property dealers out there, you need to do your homework right and get sufficient documentary verification about the property you are buying, to make sure that everything is clear and above-board as far as paperwork is concerned. Some property dealers over-promise on amenities and fittings which do not appear in the final product or there may be unnecessary delays in handing-over of the project, thus creating financial hardships on the homebuyer as he has to pay both for his rental property as well as EMI on home loan availed to buy the new property. Believe it or not, these aren’t the only grouses you might have to face while buying a

Things NRIs Must Remember Before Buying Any Property

Image
Investment in property is a great way of multiplying your assets with many a millionaire having made his bucks in the real estate market. And with the current boom in this industry along with the favorable currency exchange rates, Non-resident Indians (NRIs) stand to benefit a great deal by investing in property in India too. With the newer real estate rules and regulations, buying properties has become easier and NRIs are pretty excited about investing in this cash cow! However, before investing in India, NRIs need to have a clear understanding of the rules and regulations and here are a few pointers that NRIs need to take into cognizance: As long as an NRI holds an Indian passport, they have similar rights to resident Indians according to FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act) and can invest in residential or commercial property – with an exception being agricultural lands and farm as well as farmhouses. Such ownerships are only allowed if they are inherited or gifted to the NRI in q

Pros and Cons of Living in the City

Image
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-
