  • Does availing of a teaser loan make sense?

    Availing of a temporarily discounted home loan without taking a protracted view of one’s financial position is not advisable. One should be aware of the manner in which one’s finances will be affected after the teaser period is over and real-time lending rates kick in.

  • Does it make sense to buy a home now?

    That depends on one’s actual objectives and level of need. If one is a first-time home buyer, attempting to time the market makes little sense. Any correction will be a brief phenomenon, and prices inevitably rise again. This is a risky game that only investors should play.

  • What is the difference between built up area, super built up area, and carpet area?

    Carpet Area: Carpet Area of a property is defined as the net usable area from the inner sides of one wall to another. Carpet Area comprises of the carpet area of the demised premise, toilet areas within the demised premises, AHU room/s within the demised premises and dedicated service areas for the demised premises.
    Built-up Area (BUA): BUA consists of carpet area, area covered by inner and outer walls and additional areas mandated by the authority such as flower beds, dry balcony etc.
    Super Built-up Area (SBUA): SBUA consists of BUA and the proportionate area under the common spaces of a building like lobby, staircases and elevators.

  • What is meant by the market value of the property and is Stamp Duty payable on the market value of the property or on consideration as stated in the agreement?

    Market value of property is the price at which there is a willing buyer and a seller agreeing to the transfer the property at an arm’s length transaction. Stamp duty is levied on the ready reckoner rate or the agreement price, whichever is higher.

  • Who is liable to pay Stamp Duty-the buyer or the seller?

    The buyer is liable to pay the stamp duty.

  • What are all the important documents one should check before buying any property?

    While purchasing a property, you have to look at the approved layout plan, approved building plan, ownership documents, carryout title search, etc.

  • Is a POA revocable?

    Yes, a POA can be either revocable or irrevocable, depending on what sort of a POA one has made.

  • What are the risks involved in residential property investment?

    The risk factor in real estate investment lies in the possibility of buying at a higher price and having to sell at a lower one in a depressed market. It is also risky to try time the market to discern the 'best' time to invest. Much like in the stock market, it is impossible to predict the point of lowest ebb in the real estate market. The danger in delaying investment too long is two-fold - firstly, one may lose out on the best properties, and secondly, the market may pick up ahead of one's predictions, meaning that the lower rates may no longer be available.

  • What are the possible returns of investing in commercial versus residential property on rent?

    The rental yield for commercial property is usually 9-12%. In contrast, the yield for residential property is much lower at 3-4%.

  • What are the different ways of investing in commercial property?

    There are three ways to invest in commercial real estate - directly buy office space from a developer, buy shares of a commercial developer from the stock market, or invest in a real estate fund focused on commercial real estate. As the quantum of investment is usually huge, the prospective buyer needs to take more informed decisions.
