PLOTS vs. FLATS What do consumers prefer?

admin Leave a comment

A property purchase is one of the most significant investments you make in your lifetime. It is a long-term financial commitment and considerably impacts your finances. Not forgetting that we are all at different stages of our investing journey. Some of us are first-time homeowners, some others are looking for a second home, and others an investment that helps earn additional income.

But whether you are a first-timer or a returning buyer, there’s one dilemma we all have- to buy a plot or a flat – which is the better investment?

Market studies point out that more than 50% of home buyers prefer new, ready-to-move houses in Hyderabad. However, there’s also an equal percentage of buyers who look for plots and other older properties.

A few critical factors need to be considered before you choose between the two – easy financing, high returns, tax benefits, etc. 

Let’s take a look at the Pros and cons of flats and plots based on a few pivotal parameters.

  1. Flexibility:

Plots offer a lot more flexibility when compared to flats. They allow you to build your dream house according to your preferences and taste. However, in the case of flats, you have no say in deciding the structure of the house.

  • Appreciation rate of property:

Returns on your investment are higher in the case of open plots. Plots appreciate faster than apartments. This is mainly because plots are less in supply in the market.

Flats are also prone to deteriorate over time, which in turn, is likely to result in a decrease in their values. Land is an appreciating asset; hence, you’ll always get a better plot return.

  • Financial assistance:

The Loan-to-Value (LTV), compared to flats, is less for plots in Indian cities. While the Loan-to-Value (LTV) is 80-85% for flats, for plots, only 80% Loan-to-Value (LTV) is allowed. In the case of resale land, this Loan-to-Value (LTV) is only 50%. Also, you can only get a loan for buying a residential plot if the local authority has approved the land.

Hence, arranging funds and capital for open plots is a bit more hassle. On the hand, financial assistance is easily available for purchasing flats, and smoother.

  • Delivery:

Unless you are buying a pre-owned flat, possession of an apartment may require months or even years. Plots are usually ready for possession. If you’re buying a plot in a township, you are likely to get possession of the plot earlier than a flat. This allows you to customise and build your home as and when you want.

To conclude, both plots and flats have their fair share of pros and cons. What to invest in depends on what fits your budget, your financial abilities and liabilities, and your family’s needs. If you are merely looking for an investment for your funds, a plot, however, sounds like a better deal. Investing in a plot in a location that has proposed development and will see appreciation in the future would be a good idea.

Hyderabad welcomes the New Year on a cheerful note!

2022 has been a phenomenal year for residential real estate. Industry research attests that despite the headwinds of rising property prices, interest rate hikes, and geopolitical tensions, housing sales in the top seven cities of India crossed their previous highs of 2014.

Market research studies state that approximately 3 64,900 residential units were sold in the top seven cities in 2022. This is against the 2, 36,500 units sold in 2021. With these figures, the sector recorded a 54% year-on-year increase. Interestingly, the last time such peak figures were recorded was in 2014, when 3.43 lakh units were sold.

Mumbai Metropolitan Region witnessed the highest sales of about 1, 09,700 units in the seven cities studied in 2022. The financial capital was followed by NCR, with approximately 63,700 units. Hyderabad, on the other hand, saw the sale of 47,487 residential units.

In terms of new launches, the top cities saw a 51% annual rise. The numbers rose from 2, 36,700 units in 2021 to nearly 3, 57,600 new units in 2022. Hyderabad saw the second-highest launch figures, with 68,000 units launched in 2022 compared to 51,500 units in 2021. The city of pearls was only second to Mumbai Metropolitan Region, which recorded 1, 24,650 new launches in 2022. Both the cities together accounted for 54% share of all the residential launches in the year.

Market experts anticipate the current sales momentum in the housing sector to continue in the first quarter of 2023. Experts mention that the appetite for homeownership has remained undeterred, and maximum sales are being driven by the end users. However, a lot of stakes will also depend on how the home loan interest rates pan out over the next year.

Industry experts also believe that ready-to-move-in units will continue to top the buyer demand. The demand for new launches will also gain momentum in the year ahead. The large and listed developers will continue to dominate the market. Buyers have a certain level of faith and confidence when it comes to top builders and developers; hence, they will continue to perform well and see significant sales in 2023.

Despite the affordability level of buying housing properties witnessing a decline last year across seven major cities due to the rise in mortgage and property rates, Hyderabad remains one of the most affordable residential markets. A stable employment market in the city, longer loan tenures, and supportive government policies have been instrumental.

2022 was a phenomenal year for the real estate sector in Hyderabad and other cities of the country, particularly for the residential segment. There was robust housing demand, mainly from end-users, in not just the top cities but also across tier 2 and tier 3 cities.

Affordable housing, ever-growing job opportunities, infrastructural advancement, superior standards of living, and excellent connectivity, make Hyderabad the hub of development.

Turnaround in Hyderabad’s Real Estate!

admin Leave a comment

Hyderabad – India’s Pearl City, has become one of the most popular investments and property-buying/renting destinations today. The real estate market in Hyderabad is robust and clocked a 32% growth in sales in the third quarter of 2022 and a 19% growth in new projects. Additionally, it is also one of the most sought-after office destinations in the country, and as of September 2022, over 104 million sq.ft of office stock was available in the city. Let us understand this turnaround in Hyderabad’s real estate market in detail!

A report by a leading real estate market researcher has highlighted that the strong momentum in demand has generated an uptick in the supply of new residential projects in the city. Around 11,000 housing units were launched, which in turn registered 19% YoY growth during the quarter. Hyderabad also witnessed a healthy surge in price growth, with aggregate residential value moving up by 6% YoY during Q3 of 2022.

Simultaneously, Hyderabad witnessed office space transactions of eight lakh square feet in the commercial market during Quarter 3 of 2022. The report states that the city witnessed new office completions of 33 lakh square feet during the quarter. At an average rent increase of 7% YoY, Hyderabad recorded the third-highest 12 months office rental value growth across the eight leading cities of India during Q3 of 2022.

With a booming real estate market, the peripheries of the city centre have now expanded. Also, new urban projects in the city’s eastern part have contributed to the increase in the real estate market. The growth of Hyderabad as a major employment hub has, no doubt, fuelled this growth.

The IT industry in Hyderabad is one of the most significant global IT/ITES presence. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and other giants, along with a number of unicorns and start-ups, all call this city their base. With Hyderabad Pharma City in the pipeline, it has grown into a major pharmaceutical and biotechnology powerhouse in India.

The report highlights the Telangana government’s policies have a big impact on real estate in Telangana and the trends across all real estate segments in the state. Various policies of the State government have led to a remarkable turnaround in Hyderabad’s real estate growth over the last few years, apart from aiding in the overall development of the State.

Experts say that this business environment, led by a stable political dispensation, focused policy initiatives, widening infrastructure bases, positive stakeholder sentiments, and availability of a large talent pool is expected to continue to improve in the State.

The boost in real estate is expected to trigger ‘return to office’ sentiments as the effects of the pandemic lessen in the coming years. As such, high-quality institutional supply in the IT corridors would also boost the creation of smarter developments in the city as well as encourage the launch of new projects. Delivery timelines, however, may get impacted as mid and high-end properties will continue to drive the demand is what experts predict for the upcoming year.

Telangana currently accounts for 5% of India’s GDP. The adoption of global and domestic business-focused policies almost immediately after the State’s formation in 2014 has given the state’s economy a boost. Hyderabad continues to rank high on the global standards of living parameters and is the best city to live in India, beating Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, or Chennai.

With unlimited job opportunities and infrastructural advancement, Hyderabad is experiencing a boom and will be the hub of development in the coming years.

Hyderabad gears up for job market on the rise!

The global economy is slowing down. Markets worldwide are flashing warning signs that the global economy is stumbling on a cliff’s edge. While the United States is dealing with a fast incoming recession, the European states are battling inflation as the prices of essentials like gas and food continue to rise.

Experts say that the aftermath of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, China’s draconian pandemic policies, and runaway inflation clubbed with the United States Federal Reserve raising interest rates aggressively has pushed the world into a recession which is having a direct impact on the IT sector and employment in the United States. From Byju’s to Zomato and even mega giants including Google, Cisco, Twitter, Meta and Amazon, many companies have announced layoffs in recent months. Its ripple effects are seen even in India.

However, not everything is bleak, even in these times. While the US recession will slow growth in general, many companies could outsource the quantum of work. This, in turn, will create more employment opportunities in India. India today no longer outsources just voice-based call centres and BPO services. The kind of work being outsourced globally from our workforce ranges from IT jobs to data processing, photo-editing, CRM and even CAD drafting, rendering and more. In turn, this recession might be quite beneficial for some companies in India, especially the IT hubs in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Pune.

Manisha Saboo, the President of the industry body Hyderabad Software Enterprises Association and Infosys Hyderabad SEZ Centre Head, predicts that more work will come to India, including the city of Hyderabad. There will be ample opportunities in animation, semiconductors and new segments like the Mobility Valley in the coming years.

A thriving IT and start-up ecosystem in Hyderabad will ensure that it continues to attract stakeholders even during the recession. The availability of skilled personnel will take care that companies face no problems in getting the required skilled talent here. Simultaneously, the Telangana Academy of Skills and Knowledge is working on training human resources to meet the industry’s requirements. The state government is also undertaking various development programmes enabling the creation of quality infrastructure. These aspects will be a driving factor of growth in coming years, according to experts.

A lot of companies have started setting up their Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in Hyderabad today. These centres will be the driving force of growth and help create global products and solutions.

Earlier, outsourcing works were given to Indian companies only due to the cost arbitrage they gave over the rest. And although that continues now, more companies are assigning work to India in their search for higher-order skills to handle research and development, product development and similar jobs, which are at the top of the pyramid in the outsourcing value chain.

Outsourcing isn’t also limited to just partial jobs anymore. With the recession in the picture, the outsourcing scale can be large. For instance, instead of assigning a part of the work to the companies, experts see the possibility of the entire IT department getting outsourced in the coming months.

The city is also benefitting from the work-from-home still practised in other offshore markets. Since many international organizations are not yet working from offices, some orders were being outsourced to Indian cities, including Hyderabad.

This is likely to also have a positive impact on the real estate market in the city. With demands for both commercial and residential spaces expected to rise, this is the perfect opportunity to invest in land in Hyderabad today.

Road infrastructure gets a booster dose from housing!

admin Leave a comment

The infrastructure and connectivity of a city or urban centre are paramount to its development. As cities grow, so do their exteriors and peripheries that provide alternatives for affordable housing in the peripheral city areas. Convenient connectivity to the city’s core business districts and peripheries is vital for a suitable living environment.

There is a strong inverse correlation between road infrastructure and urban standard of living. When new roads are constructed across the expanse of rural and urban areas, the spread of development happens over a wider geography. This helps to potentially bring down the premium that certain urban agglomerations command for having better connectivity. This could be particularly true for metro cities in India with space constraints, such as Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.

One of the downsides, however of this story is the lack of infrastructure management which often leads to incidents of worry on the roads. To ensure commuters have a smooth and incident-free ride on city roads in Hyderabad, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has sanctioned 7,513 road-related projects under its jurisdiction for the fiscal year 2022-23. These works will be at a staggering cost of Rs 19.47 billion.

Of the 7,513 sanctioned road-related works, the GHMC has already completed 2,219 works. These expenditures amount to Rs 458.35 crore. According to official statements, the remaining 5,294 road works are in various stages of completion.

The state government plans to develop 104 link roads at the cost of Rs 2,410 crore under its Missing Links Projects (Phase-III) Programme. In a press release, the Hyderabad Road Development Corporation Limited (HRDCL) said that the objective of proposing these link roads is to improve mobility, ease traffic and enhance the growth of commercial establishments in the state.

CRMP agencies have also been allotted the responsibility of overall upkeep and maintenance of the entire main road stretches in traffic-worthy condition for five years. They’ll be responsible for maintaining the central medians, sanitation, greenery development, and kerb painting on main roads. Of the total 811.96 km main road network, CRMP agencies have already re-carpeted and worked on over 690 km of road.

Come monsoons, water logging and consequent degradation of roads is a common sight. The GHMC has taken initiatives to avoid rainwater stagnation and ensure the longevity of the roads that get frequently waterlogged during downpours. The body has decided to lay Vacuum Dewatered Cement Concrete (VDCC) roads instead of regular bitumen roads. The GHMC proposed 146 km of Vacuum Dewatered Cement Concrete (VDCC) with an outlay of Rs 158.67 crore this financial year, and these works are already underway in various locations. These roads are laid in colonies and stretches where traffic is relatively less than on major thoroughfares.

This boost to the city’s infrastructure lays the foundation for a flourishing future for Hyderabad and its peripheries. With link roads and connectivity to the core strengthening, residential rental yields are likely to multiply in the coming years. This marks the perfect opportunity to invest in plots in the future land of Maheshwaram and Chegunta near Hyderabad with TMR Group. Visit https://tmrinfra.com/ to know more!
