Plots: The ideal Investment for the Festive Season

It’s Diwali. The season  of lights, joy, togetherness, and investments. Undoubtedly, most purchases, such as gold or electronics lose value over time. This festive season, how about buying an asset that appreciates in value and brings profitable returns? What? Plots!  

A safe bet for investment

Plots are a less volatile investment option compared to gold, apartments and other assets. They are less unpredictable, and offer more stability in pricing. The cost of maintaining a plot is also lesser than a constructed property, and does not involve additional maintenance.

Appropriate appreciation

Assets like gold or electronics tend to lose their value over time. Plots on the other hand, appreciate in value. 

Buying a land parcel in outer areas of metro cities such as Hyderabad is a lucrative option for those looking to invest in their homes or building homes in the future.

Finite Asset, infinite discounts 

One of the biggest advantages of plots is that it is a finite resource. There is only a limited amount of plotted land available for ownership, and therefore owners can be certain that their investment will constantly be in demand. As a result, the price will continue to appreciate.

Developers are offering festive discounts worth lakhs, along with other incentives during this season.  Additionally, financing options and reduced interest rates offered by financial institutions, work in favour of the investor. That is why purchasing a plot during this season makes it a sweet package deal. 

This festive season, invest in plots that guarantee thriving returns in the future. TMR Group offers gated community open plots peppered with a plethora of amenities for your comfort and convenience. To know more about our group and projects,https://tmrinfra.com/ 

TMR: Hyderabad residential property registrations witness a monumental high

Hyderabad, the city of the Nizams and the pearls, has witnessed tremendous growth in terms of real estate expansion in recent years. As a thriving IT hub today, the city has expanded its horizons to accommodate the dreams of several people who now call it home. No doubt, this has translated to a surge in real estate demand, both for residential and commercial places.

While the real estate sector in many other cities continues to pick up momentum in the aftermath of the pandemic, Hyderabad has witnessed a monumental high in terms of its residential property registrations. The industry recorded a 30% YoY rise in property registrations in September 2023, compared to the September 2022 season, according to market researchers and industry experts.

Figures state that the total value of properties registered during the month stood at a whopping Rs. 3,378 crore. This figure too has increased by 42% YoY, thus highlighting the trend of the sale of more expensive homes.

The Hyderabad residential market is made up of four districts – Hyderabad, Rangareddy Medchal-Malkajgiri, and Sangareddy.

According to the report, the highest proportion of property registrations in Hyderabad in September 2023 was in the price range of Rs. 25 – 50 lakh. It accounted for about 51% of the total registrations. At the same time, properties priced below Rs. 25 lakhs constituted for about 15% of the total registrations, whilst the share of sales registrations for properties priced Rs. 1 crore and above was 9%.

Majority of these properties registered belong to the range of 1,000-2,000 sq ft, as this category of home size accounted for about 71% of registrations. The registrations for smaller homes (500-1,000 sq. ft.) however fell to 14% during September 2023, from 16% in September 2022. On the other hand, properties larger than 2,000 sq. ft., witnessed an increase in demand, as registrations rose to 11% during September 2023, from 9% in September 2022.

District wise, Medchal-Malkajgiri secured the top position with 45% home sales registrations, while Rangareddy district followed closely with 41% sales registrations. Interestingly, Hyderabad district accounted for just 14% of the total registrations in September 2023. The report also highlights that a large concentration of bulk transactions were for plush properties, which were bigger in size and offered better facilities and amenities.

Following the development activity in the city, developers in Hyderabad have prioritized the launch of larger units and independent homes, to give the market a further boost.

The rising demand for plots near suburban areas

Owning a space that is away from the chaotic city life has been a dream for many. After COVID-19, this started to turn into a reality as work from home was a common sight. From offices to educational institutions, the world had virtually come closer which resulted in the demand for independent spaces. People started to move out from Tier-I cities to the suburbs or even smaller towns for spacious accommodation.

In Hyderabad, the value of plotted properties rose to 21 percent between 2018 and 2021, indicating a sharp increase in the demand for such properties.

Here are some of the reasons which have contributed to the increase in demand for plots in suburban areas.

Low population:

Most people prefer plotted development projects in city suburbs, as they have a low density population. They seek to live in a peaceful environment and hence make a switch to such parts of the city.

Flexibility in construction:

A piece of land offers the freedom to design the house in the way you like. It can help you express individuality and fit your way of life. Hence, the flexibility of construction is chosen over the restrictions in an apartment.

Affordable land rates: 

Low-priced plots in the outskirts of Hyderabad are a preferred option, as it allows a better scope for price appreciation. The increased land rates in the city have contributed to the affordability.

Quality of life:

The growing popularity of Hyderabad has contributed to the development in the real estate sector. With ample resources like water, land, electricity and the freedom to utilize them, the quality of life in the suburbs is preferred.

People have started flocking away from the hustle-bustle of the city towards the suburbs, where the peace and slow life is loved.

TMR Group ensures the best of tranquil living experience and vibrant city life.

Tips to avoid land frauds while investing in plots!

Like any other industry that involves heavy transactions, real estate is also susceptible to frauds and scams. Investing in real estate is a life-changing decision that takes up a big chunk of your hard-earned money and obviously, you wouldn’t want to get scammed. There’s immense pressure on you to make the right decisions regarding your investment and avoid frauds simultaneously. Since the introduction of RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) in India, the number of frauds and scams has reduced by a lot but still, it’s important to know the different types of scams or fraud attempts that you can come across.

Types of Land Frauds

  • Delay in the time of delivery is one of the more common types of fraud where the project is not completed as per the promised time
  • Uninformed changes in the specifications mentioned in the agreement
  • When sale and deeds are executed before the necessary licenses and permissions for the construction of the building are procured
  • Hidden clauses in the agreement that could affect the buyer
  • Disputes in the ownership of the land ultimately put the buyer’s investment in jeopardy
  • Real estate agents may overcharge for a property under false promises of high returns and quick development
  • There are times when the same property is sold to numerous buyers
  • Sometimes a random person might pose as the owner and execute the sale

Tips to Avoid Land Frauds

  • Never rush into a real estate investment. Do your research. Tally the real estate rates from multiple sources and make sure you are being quoted the right price for the property. Real estate developers may cunningly tell you that there are only a few units left and you need to quickly decide, or offer you discounts for booking quickly. However, it is at your discretion to take your own time to check and decide.
  • While choosing to invest in an underdeveloped area, make sure that the area is going to develop in the future. You can check the potential of the land by calculating its distance from the airport and its proximity to growing industrial sectors as some areas do not develop even after two or three decades.
  • There’s no harm in taking advice from experts in the market
  • Never buy the property because the images online or the brochures look good. Make a visit to the site and see for yourself and speak to the locals of the area like shopkeepers and petrol pump executives.
  • Check the track record of the developers thoroughly and don’t shy away from asking for references of previous buyers as it helps you confirm their reliability. Online reviews are a big help too.
  • Ensure that the project is approved by banks for loans as that indicates authenticity because banks only approve the projects after a thorough inspection
  • Ensure that the ownership of the land is clear and ask for copies of permissions, approvals for the project, as well as that of the title deed
  • Examine the documents carefully, multiple times, and understand every clause and its implication. Have the documents read by a legal expert who can help you out and if any discrepancies are found, speak to the developer to get them changed or back out from the deal.
  • Ensure that the timeframe of the construction is clearly mentioned along with a delay clause that benefits you if the project is delayed
  • Most importantly, always purchase properties from reputed builders and ensure that the projects are regulated by the respective authorities such as RERA, HMDA, and DTCP as this adds an extra layer of security, protecting you from frauds and scams

Home Loans for NRI’s

Real estate developers have always considered NRI’s as an important part of their target audience and the NRI crowd also prefers investing in India because when a comparison is made with the foreign real-estate, India offers much better properties at a much reasonable price making it an ideal choice for NRI’s.

NRI’s Investment Market in India

NRI’s have always played a crucial role in the Indian real estate market. The main reason for their investment is generally either sentimental value to their origin or as a backup plan just in case they ever plan on moving back to India. Generally, they just buy and put up properties for rents assuring a steady sum of the amount coming to them with definite safety and increment in their investment. The currency advantage due to the depreciating rupee plays into their favor, raising their purchasing power. To smoothen the pot, NRI’s can also apply for home loans and they get similar tax benefits like the Residential Indians with respect to repayment and interest rate if they meet a few criteria. Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999, defines an NRI as someone who resides outside India for, “employment, carrying on business or vocation in circumstances as would indicate an intention to stay outside India for an indefinite period”. It also says that an individual will also be considered NRI if his/her stay in India has been less than 182 days during the preceding financial year and anyone meeting these criteria can apply for home loans in India. 

Benefits for NRI’s Investing in India

NRIs can be benefitted from the tax deductions only if they have an income that is taxable in India. If they have taxable income in India, they are eligible to claim deductions on the repayment of interest and the principal amount from the taxable income as per Section 24, 80C and 80EE of the Income Tax Act.

Here’s a list of all the benefits NRI’s can get while investing in real-estate in India if they are defined under FEMA:

  1. An NRI home loan can be availed to meet all of the property-related requirements, including purchasing a house, constructing a house and renovating an existing property in the country.

  3. The application process is hassle-free and barely takes up any time.
  4. With most banks, a candidate can apply for an NRI home loan online. The process is easy and transparent. The tracking of the application is also very easy, from anywhere in the world.
  5. Almost all banks provide a prepayment facility for either none or very little extra fees.
  6. There is no restriction on the number of properties NRI’s can purchase in India. However, agricultural land, plantation land, or a farmhouse cannot be purchased, only residential and commercial properties.

Home Loan Interest Rates for NRI’s

Most banks offer NRI home loans that have attractive interest rates on a monthly reducing basis. The candidates also have the option to choose between fixed or a floating interest rate but the candidates must be under the following regulations:

  • Age: 18-70 years
  • Nationality: Indian, Non-resident Indians (NRIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) are all eligible. Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) are also eligible except citizens of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
  • Work Experience: At least two years of experience in the company he/she currently works for

  • Late Payment Charges:For most lenders, late payment charges are 1%-3%
  • Other Prerequisites: NRIs require an Indian resident to be a co-applicant, co-borrower or co-owner of the respective house or property
  • Interest Rates: Interest rates vary for different banks, like SBI and HDFC offer 6.70%-7.00%pa, ICICI offers 6.70%-7.95%pa, LIC Housing Finance offers 6.90%-7.30%. The overall range of the interest rates is 6.70%-8.90% in 2021.
