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.

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-...

Times are a changing and with it, so is technology. Now we have solutions to almost everything (Note – we are not talking medical conditions here!), whether at work or at home. With more and more couples leading busy working lives, running a home smoothly can sometimes become a little dicey. Once you have left home in the early morning rush, there is always that niggling doubt creeping in whether you switched off the coffeemaker or switched on the security system… However, with the advent of ‘smart homes’ (or ‘domotics’ as it’s also known), you don’t have cause to worry too much. A glance through your phone or tablet should be sufficient to put your mind at rest. This is because all technologically-smart devices and appliances that use electricity can be connected to your home Wi-Fi network and used to communicate with one another and you, at a tap from your smartphone. Home automation is the latest trend in new technology-supported homes where appliances like washers/dryers, ovens, fr...

They say charity begins at home; but with all the earnest ongoing debates on global warming, looks like cutting carbon emissions should also begin at home! Aside from reducing your electricity bills, reducing the consumption of energy at home also goes a long way in saving our natural resources for the future generations. We have reached the point where it’s becoming essential to save energy because its manufacturing and use affects the environment and all the people living in it. Wind, water and solar energies are considered as clean, renewable sources of energy that do not pollute the environment; fossil fuels like coal, gas and crude oil products on the other hand are non-renewable sources of energy that lead to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The time is fast approaching when we need to really buckle-down and make energy-conservation a part of everyday life – if we want to slow down global warming, that is! When we talk about energy conservation, we are simply referring to ...

Provided you have the will and a little imagination, you can still get the satisfaction of growing your own herbs, vegetables, summer flowers and even trees and shrubs! Gardening on a small scale can be enjoyable and fulfil too, the trick lies in container gardening which can be used in different ways – growing upwards, hanging downwards and even as the new, exotic vertical garden walls… While balconies are great places to grow your plants, do check how much sun it gets as some plants require more sun than others. Then buy the plants accordingly. Eight hours of sun is considered as fully sunny while less than four hours ...

The kitchen is the heart of the home, the area where delicious meals are cooked to nourish the family.

It’s now evolved into a multi-purpose room with a multiple-cook concept.
