Pune, Hyderabad, Navi Mumbai in 10 Affordable Property Markets: JLL India

New Delhi: Hyderabad, Pune, Navi Mumbai, and Ahmedabad were among the 10 affordable property markets in the country where flats were available within the budget of Rs 30-50 lakh, according to JLL India.

The other six cities are Kochi (Kerala), Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh), Jaipur (Rajasthan), Nagpur (Maharashtra), Surat (Gujarat) and Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu.

In its latest report, property consultant JLL India has listed 10 cities that offer great lower-budget real estate investment prospects over medium to long term.

"These towns and cities offer a wide spectrum of investable options in real estate with relatively lower property price levels, providing the incentives for future capital appreciation and healthy returns," JLL India Chairman and Country Head Anuj Puri said.

On Hyderabad, Puri said it is perhaps one of the most affordable cities among all Tier-1 cities of India. Even the well-developed residential localities in Hyderabad, such as Manikonda, Kukatpally, Miyapur and Sainikpuri offer housing properties in the budget range of Rs 30-50 lakh.

The report mentioned that Hyderabad's realty market was now set for an upswing after a prolonged slump due to the global recession followed by political turmoil.

About Pune, JLL said the city has recorded good growth in the affordable housing segment over the last couple of years. Such projects are located on the periphery of the city and offer small 1-2 BHK flats with basic, no-frills amenities. "While property prices have increasingly become unaffordable in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai still provides numerous options for residential housing within the budget of Rs 30-50 lakh," Puri said.

The proposed SEZs at Dronagiri, Ulwe and Kalamboli, and the upcoming international airport at Panvel are expected to help generate employment and boost demand for commercial and residential developments.

On Ghaziabad, JLL said that the city is an emerging residential neighbourhood of NCR which has a very high supply of flats in the budget of Rs 30-50 lakh. "Well-connected via metro and roads to the job markets of Delhi-NCR region, the city caters largely to the mid-segment home buyers. The city has a high supply of ready-to-move-in properties offered by renowned developers," the report said.

Infrastructural developments such as extension of the Metro Rail and widening of the NH 24 will further boost Ghaziabad's realty market, it added.

On Kochi, JLL said: "Gone are the days when the city's builders focused only on affluent buyers. Today, the Kochi residential real estate market is dominated by affordable housing segment, which accounts to about 60 per cent of the total housing projects in the city."

Pune - More tehsil offices to come up in growing cities, says revenue minister

The government has done away with non-agricultural permissions required to use farmland for industrial and commercial purposes.

In a major move to ease pressure on tehsil offices in growing cities in the states, the revenue department has proposed to create more offices to handle the revenue work. Aurangabad will soon have two offices, city and rural, from the coming month, followed by other key cities in the state, including Pune, to handle the revenue work which is increasing with the city’s expanding boundaries.

“There is massive work handled by the revenue department and one tehsil office is not enough to handle the work especially for growing cities such as Pune and other key cities. Division of work is essential and there needs to be more offices and more posts to handle the revenue work,” said revenue minister Eknath Khadse in the city after the first day of the revenue conference held at YASHDA.

He said the government has made major amendments in the revenue department over the last six months. Khadse said the government has taken a major decision on “affidavits” where they have introduced self-attestation, which has made the work easier and those giving false attestation would be punished with imprisonment of up to two years.

The government has done away with non-agricultural permissions required to use farmland for industrial and commercial purposes. The simplification of procedure will also unlock the value of the land in urban pockets and areas including the cities of Pune and Mumbai.

Khadse said this will do away with tedious procedures and harassment besides cutting down on delays. According to provisions of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, no agricultural land could be used for non-agricultural purpose without permission of the district collector. This required 22-32 no-objection certificates from various departments, complicating the procedure for applicants.

The government also announced that they would waive off stamp duty on transfer of immovable property by its owner to an heir or family member. The revenue minister said the government had also taken steps to find a permanent solution to the problem of unauthorised constructions in the state. The cabinet has decided to make pertinent changes in the Bombay Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation Act, 1947, which will allow for authorisation of thousands of constructions facing imminent action in Pimpri-Chinchwad and other areas.

In order to prevent fragmentation of agricultural land, the Act had barred buying or selling of land parcel lesser than 11 gunthas. In the absence of sale deed, no construction on smaller land holdings could be legalised or passed by any civic body.

Office space vacancy dips to 15% in 2015 from around 19% in 2013

The sharpest fall in pan-India vacancy levels is expected in 2016 and 2017 when it will ease below 13%

MUMBAI: Showing faith in India's economic growth, corporate occupiers have been lapping up office spaces for their expansion, which is reflected in the decline in office vacancy levels across the country to 15% from around 19% in 2013. The sharpest fall in pan-India vacancy levels is expected in 2016 and 2017 when it will ease below 13%, said a JLL India report.

Vacancy in Bengaluru has come down to 4% from 16% in 2011. In Pune, it is down to 5% from 18%, while Chennai has seen it easing from 32% in 2010 to 12.5%. India's office space absorption in 2015, at around 36 million sq ft, was the second highest after 2011, and Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai led this bull run. "While the absorption in 2015 was similar to 2011, it was distributed across new and old buildings this time unlike 2011 when it was largely limited to newly-completed buildings. While demand in 2011 was due to lower rentals after the global financial crisis; in 2015, it was largely thanks to implementation of growth plans by corporates," said Ramesh Nair, COO - Business & International Director, JLL India.

Nair said that demand had surpassed supply in 2014 for the first time since 2007, adding that the demand forecast looks strong in the medium term.

"Things are improving. We are seeing good enquiries for picking up space, both on outright and lease basis and all of this is for expansion and future growth. Time taken for conclusion of transactions from enquiry stage is also reducing as choices are less in the backdrop of low vacancy levels," said Vipul Shah, MD, Parinee Group, that has commercial projects at Bandra-Kurla Complex and Andheri.

"We are also looking for opportunities, including land parcels and joint ventures, to build more commercial projects," Shah added.

The improvement in business scenario is prompting developers to build fresh supply across cities in order to meet growing demand. Developers, who had been shying away from commercial projects after burning their fingers between 2009 and 2012 owing to a tough market and lack of funding, are returning to the market. Companies, especially in the ecommerce, telecom and healthcare sectors, have been snapping up office space across major cities. India's office space absorption in 2015, at around 36 million sq ft, was the second highest after 2011.

While 2015 saw a significant growth in absorption, demand for commercial spaces has been on the rise steadily since 2013. As demand continues to rise, occupiers will start taking up spaces in less ideal locations. Grade-B buildings in the good areas will also see good absorption.

Rentals across Indian cities rose in 2015 with the pace being faster in the secondary business districts (SBDs) and certain peripheral business districts (PBDs) of tier-I cities than in the established central business districts (CBDs). The micro markets, which saw more leasing activity in different cities in 2015, will continue to see action this year as well, while lesser-preferred locations will see a higher vacancy rate.

Apple now plans tech centre in Hyderabad

Apple is in talks with real estate firm Tishman Speyer for long-term lease of around 2.5 lakh sq ft of office space in the city's outskirts
 

 After applying for a single-brand retail licence in India, Apple is now looking at setting up its first large technology development centre and backoffice operations in Hyderabad.
Apple is in talks with real estate firm Tishman Speyer for long-term lease of around 2.5 lakh sq ft of office space in the city's outskirts, which could accommodate around 2,500 employees, sources with knowledge of the matter said.

"Apple has evinced interest to lease the space at Tishman Speyer's WaveRock facility for a period of ten years to begin with, involving a total expenditure of around Rs 150 crore," said a property consultant privy to the development. "Apple may at a later date consider asking the Telangana government to allot space for it to build own campus," the consultant added.

Maharashtra hikes incentive FSI, property rates in suburbs may rise

In a move that is likely to see a rise in realty rates in the suburbs, the state government issued the final notification hiking additional development rights and premium charged with an aim to mop up more revenue for a cash-strapped exchequer.

The state’s urban development department (UDD) modified regulation 32 of the Development Control Rules (DCR) on December 4 to hike incentive (optional) Floor Space Index (FSI) for the city’s suburbs from 0.33 to 0.50. FSI is an indicator of how high a developer can build on a plot – the ratio of the total constructed area to the size of the plot.
However, this additional FSI will come at a cost, with the state hiking the premium on it to 60% of the current ready reckoner rates. It was earlier linked to the 2008 ready reckoner rate. The state hopes to mop up around Rs3,500 crore to Rs4,000 crore with the move and the premium received will be shared equally between the state government and the civic body.
Developers said the hike in premium will increase realty rates in the suburbs, as the cost of the additional FSI works out in the range of Rs4,000 to Rs12,000 per sq feet. This cost, they said, will get passed on to the buyers. With the realty market already sluggish, further increase in rates is likely to pose a challenge.
“There is absolutely no incentive. On the contrary, this will jack up project costs. We will be forced to increase the selling rates,” said Paras Gundecha, chairman and MD, Gundecha Group.
The increase in premium, developers said will also lead to increase in the cost of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) certificate. The city suburbs have a base FSI of 1 and are allowed to use TDR of 1, which can be brought from the market. TDR is floating FSI generally generated on slum projects or when a land owner loses his plot for reservation for an amenity and can be used in the suburbs. In 2008, the state had first introduced 0.33 as incentive FSI for suburbs to reduce monopoly of the TDR lobby and help the government earn revenue from development rights. The cap of FSI, however, continues to be 2.
In March, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis had proposed to increase the FSI for suburbs and a notice was issued to hike FSI by 0.60. However, after going through suggestions and objections from the public, the FSI was hiked by 0.50. This additional FSI will not be applicable at Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), for slum rehabilitation schemes and in areas coming under Coastal Regulatory Zone (CRZ). The city suburbs have a base FSI of 1. However, construction projects can utilize TDR of 1, including the incentive FSI 0.50 with the cap of 2.

Maharashtra – Leading the Real Estate Boom

Maharashtra (Labelled India’s “Power House”) is one of India’s most industrialized states. Its immense contribution to the Indian economy amounts to a fourth of the gross value of Indian industry, and 78.8% of the state’s GDP flows from the secondary and tertiary sector.Spearheading the industrialization of India, Maharashtra has set trends in the development of real estate in the country. Economic progress has led to aggressive commercial and residential property development in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Jalgaon and Aurangabad. New industrial townships have been developed by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation at Raigad, Thane, Talegaon and Hinjewadi-Man in Pune, Shendre in Aurangabad, Additional Latur, Nandgaon Peth in Amravati, Additional Yavatmal, Tadali in Chandrapur, Butibori in Nagpur, Additional Sinnar in Nashik and Nardhana in Dhule, which has given a fillip to commercial and residential property development in these districts.
India’s most successful Export Processing Zone, SEEPZ in Mumbai was set up in the 1980’s, followed by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) at Dronagiri, near the Jawaharlal Nehru Port. Foreign direct investment in Maharashtra has been the second highest in the country, with a share of 21% Rs. 24,545 crore from till September 2006.
The IT and biotechnology industry took over from the once flourishing textile industry in Maharashtra, and along with growth in the automobile, electronics, floriculture, and film industry, the real estate market grew from strength to strength. Investors are confident of making investments in property in Maharashtra, given the futuristic and visionary policies of the state government.
Tourism too has received an impetus with the investment in infrastructure. The state enjoys a scenic countryside with diverse geographical features – the unspoilt beaches, the rugged Western Ghats and the gentle Sahyadris are home to a rich heritage of temples, forts and caves. Mumbai, the Ajanta and Ellora Caves, Lonavala and Khandala, Raigad, Matheran, Alibag, Ganapatiphule, Murud-Janjira, Panchgani, and Mahabaleshwar are popular weekend getaways accessible by an excellent road network.

Real Estate Development in Maharashtra

Click Map of Maharashtra to Enlarge View

The real estate market in Maharashtra has thrived on its industrial growth, developing in every segment – commercial spaces, residential apartments and condominiums, retail malls, hotels or special economic zones. The celebrated real estate market of Mumbai is known for property prices that rival the leading cities of the world.
Maharashtra is home to the most expensive residential and commercial properties in the country, concentrated in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Pune. All three cities have a mature property market, with high end residential apartments, commercial projects, luxury hotels and malls.
Residential and commercial property rates in Navi Mumbai have soared ever since the Special Economic Zone and the Greenfield airport project in Panvel were announced. It is no longer a city living in Mumbai’s shadow, with its fair share of premium residential properties, glitzy malls and multiplexes, hotels and large commercial spaces.
In Pune, property prices have appreciated between 10 to as much as 70% in Hinjewadi, Baner, Kharadi, Kalyani Nagar, Wakad, Pimple-Nilakh and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
Talegaon on the Mumbai- Pune expressway is also seeing fast paced development, and property developers are taking up large projects in view of Indian corporates and multinationals planning to set up manufacturing facilities here. Rates of residential property are currently as low as Rs.900 to Rs.1500 per sq. metre and Rs. 20 to Rs. 70 lakh per acre for industrial plots.
Jones Lang LaSalle, leading property consultants, have forecast a healthy real estate market in Nagpur as it becomes a favourite offshoring destination for IT companies. Areas near the Butibori Industrial Estate and the Amravati and Wardha Roads have caught the investor’s fancy and property rates have soared since 2005.
Accelerated commercial and residential property development is expected in Nashik, which inaugurated its first IT hub in January 2007. Construction activities are on the upswing, and being undertaken on the lines of Mumbai and Bangalore.
The Government notified 7 Special Economic Zones for Maharashtra in January 2007. These are: the Serum Bio-Pharma Park in Pune, the EON Kharadi Infrastructure Private limited in Haveli, Pune, MIDC in Latur, Aurangabad and Nanded, Wipro in Hindawadi, Pune, and Royal Palms in Aarey Colony, Mumbai.
Maharashtra will remain the investor’s safest bet, as the industrial climate rests on India’s most qualified, professional and committed workforce.

Black-Colour - किमया काळ्या रंगाची

काळा रंग आपल्याकडे अशुभकारक मानला जातो. त्यामुळे शक्यतो घरसजावटीमध्ये तो वापरला जात नाही. पण या रंगाबाबत थोडा सकारात्मक विचार करून भिंतीवरच्या सजावटीसाठी त्याचा वापर करता येईल. तसं केल्यास हीच भिंत घराची शान वाढवेल हे नक्की. निळा, जांभळा, हिरवा, लाल अशा ठरलेल्या रंगात घरातल्या भिंती रंगवण्याबरोबरच काळ्या-पांढऱ्या रंगांनाही पसंती मिळू लागली आहे. पांढरा रंग एकवेळ चालून जातो; पण काळ्या रंगाचा घर सजवण्यासाठी वापर करणं म्हणजे अनेकांच्या कपाळावर आठ्या येतात. कारण हा रंग अशुभकारक मानला जातो. त्यामुळे वास्तूमध्ये तो वापरणं शक्यतो टाळलंच जातं. या गोष्टी न मानणारी मंडळी घर सजावटीमध्ये काळ्या रंगाचा वापर मोठ्या कल्पकतेने करतात. तुम्ही आपल्या घरासाठी वेगळेपणा शोधत असाल, तर भिंतीला काळा रंग देऊन पाहा. एकदम सगळ्या भिंती रंगवणं भडकपणाचं ठरू शकतं. त्यामुळे एखाद्या भिंतीला काळ्या रंगाने सजवून पाहायला काहीच हरकत नाही. त्यासाठी या काही कल्पना... - काळा रंग मुळात निराशाजनक मानला जातो. त्यामुळे संपूर्ण भिंत त्यानेच रंगवण्यापेक्षा त्याबरोबरीने इतर रंगांचाही सर्जनशीलतेने वापर करता येईल. दोन रंग, उभ्या-आडव्या रेषांचा डिझाइन म्हणून वापर करायला हरकत नाही. संपूर्ण भिंतच काळ्या रंगाने रंगवायची असेल, तर त्यावर वापरण्यात येणाऱ्या डेकोरेशनच्या वस्तू कल्पकतेने वापराव्या लागतील, - चित्रांमुळे भिंतीना शोभा येते. त्यामुळे निसर्गचित्र, एखादं पोर्ट्रेट काळ्या रंगाच्या भिंतीवर लावायला हरकत नाही. याच्या फ्रेम मात्र काळ्या रंगाला शोभून दिसतील अशाच निवडाव्यात. - विविध आकाराच्या आरशांचा वापरही काळ्या रंगाच्या भिंतीची शोभा वाढवेल. मात्र, संपूर्ण भिंतीभर आरसे लावायचे नाहीत, तर एखादा कोपरा किंवा मध्यभागी आरशांची आरास करता येईल. - जुनी, दुर्मिळ आणि अनोखी नक्षीकाम असलेली ताटंही वापरता येतील. पितळेच्या किंवा पंचधातूच्या ताटांचा विचार करायला हरकत नाही. - एखादं विचित्र आकाराचं, पॅटर्नचं घड्याळही या भिंतीवर लटकून द्या.
- फोटो कोलाज हा तर उत्तम पर्याय आहे. कुटुंबातल्या सदस्यांच्या लहानपणीचे किंवा इतर संस्मरणीय फोटो या भिंतीवर उठून दिसतील. ते ब्लॅक अॅण्ड व्हाइट असतील तर अधिक चांगलं. मात्र, त्याची फ्रेम क्लासी असून चालणार नाही, तर ती अॅण्टिक असावी. - अगदीच काळा रंग नको असेल, तर त्याच्या छटा वापरायला हरकत नाही. - कायमस्वरूपी काळा रंग वापरण्यापेक्षा ट्रायल म्हणून आधी एखादा वॉलपेपर लावून पाहा.

Smart Living- स्मार्ट लिव्हिंग

घरखरेदीचं बजेट फार मोठं नसेल तर मुंबईच्या आसपास उभ्या राहणाऱ्या गृहप्रकल्पात छोटं घर घेता येईल.

मोठं हे नेहमीच चांगलं असतं असं नाही, हा नियम घरखरेदीला चपखल बसतो. मुंबईसारख्या महानगरात आवडत्या लोकेशनला बजेटमध्ये बसणारं घर मिळणं केवळ अशक्य. घर जेवढं मोठं असेल तेवढंच ते मेण्टेन करणं जास्त खर्चिक असतं. या समस्येवरचा उतारा म्हणजे चांगल्या ठिकाणी छोटं घर घेऊन कमी खर्चात, टेन्शनमुक्त जीवन जगणं.

प्रत्येक ग्राहकाच्या घराकडून वेगवेगळ्या अपेक्षा वेगळ्या असतात. त्या अपेक्षांवरच ग्राहकांने कोणतं घर घ्यावं हे अवलंबून असतं. म्हणूनच ग्राहकाने त्याच्या अपेक्षा आणि गरजा पूर्ण करणाऱ्या घराची निवड करावी. अविवाहित तरुण-तरुणींनी आणि नवविवाहितांसाठी छोट्या घरांचा पर्याय खूप चांगला आहे. एकतर प्रॉपर्टीचे दर प्रचंड वाढलेले असतानाही ही घरं परवडणाऱ्या किमतीत उपलब्ध आहेत.

सध्याचं जॉब मार्केट हे कितीही नाही म्हटलं तरी अस्थिर आहे. अर्थव्यवस्थाही फारशी बळकट नाही. अशा परिस्थितीत मुंबईत वन बेडरूम अपार्टमेण्टचा पर्याय जास्त परवडणारा आहे. छोटं घर हे केवळ खरेदी करतानाच परवडणाऱ्या किमतीत मिळतं असं नाही तर ते मेण्टेन करणंही कमी खर्चिक असतं. गरज वाटेल तेव्हा त्याचं रिनोव्हेशन करणंही सोपं आणि कमी पैशांत होऊ शकतं. म्हणूनच छोट्या घरांची मागणी वाढत असून विकासकही अशा घरांचे अनेक पर्याय उपलब्ध करून देत आहेत. या घरांमध्ये किमान पायाभूत सुविधांपेक्षा अधिक सुविधा देण्यात येत आहेत. त्यामुळेच छोट्या घरात राहणंही 'पैसा वसूल' आहे.

लोकेशन हा मुद्दाही तितकाच महत्त्वाचा आहे. तसंच भविष्यात प्रॉपर्टी विकायची म्हटली तर तिचं लोकेशन महत्त्वाचं असतं. सध्या प्रत्येक ग्राहक अशा घराच्या शोधात असतो, जे त्याच्या कामाच्या ठिकाणापासून जवळ असेल. घर खरेदीसाठी ग्राहक मुंबई उपनगरांच्या पुढच्या ठिकाणांचा म्हणजे नवी मुंबईसारख्या भागांचा पर्याय स्वीकारू लागले आहेत. कारण या भागात छोट्या घरांचे परवडणारे असंख्य पर्याय उपलब्ध होत आहेत.

मुंबईच्या रि॓अल्टी मार्केटमधली छोटी घरं ग्राहकांना आकर्षित करत आहेत. मुळात मुंबईत अविवाहित आणि नवविवाहित जोडप्यांची संख्या मोठी आहे. त्यातल्या बहुतांश लोकांना मोठं आणि खर्चिक घर परवडत नाही. त्यातच नोकरीतली अस्थिरता, अर्थव्यवस्थेची घसरण आणि घरांच्या दरांमधली वाढ अशा परिस्थितीत छोट्या घरांचा पर्याय त्यांच्यासाठी फारच उपयुक्त आणि सुरक्षित आहे.

मुंबईत छोटी घरं का चांगली?

छोट्या घरांचा सर्वात मोठा फायदा हा आहे की त्याच्या युटिलिटी आणि मेण्टेनन्स कॉस्टमध्ये बचत होते. याशिवाय त्याची मूळ किंमतही कमी असते. गोंधळ किंवा गडबड कमी, साधी-सरळ जीवनशैली आणि चांगलं पर्यावरण हे फायदेही छोटं घरं घेणाऱ्या ग्राहकाला मिळू शकतात. आतापर्यंत विकासक छोटी घरं असलेले गृहप्रकल्प उभारत नव्हते. मोठी घरं बांधण्यालाच ते प्राधान्य देत. कारण मोठी घरं विकण्यात जास्त फायदा असतो. पण आता अनेक विकासक छोटी घरं बांधण्याकडे वळले आहेत.

मुंबई हे बेटांचं शहर असून ते एका रेषेत वसलेलं आहे. या शहराचा चहू दिशांनी विकास होणं शक्य नाही. मुंबईचा बहुतांश विकास हा उत्तर दिशेला झालेला आहे. शहरातल्या अंतर्गत भागांत विकास व्हायला फारच कमी वाव आहे. म्हणूनच मुंबईची वाढ ही आता शहराच्या बाहेर दूरच्या उपनगरांमध्ये होत आहे.

मुंबई शहरातल्या प्रॉपर्टीच्या किमती गगनाला भिडलेल्या आहेत. इथल्या घरांचा आकार लहान झालेला आहे. ग्राहक छोट्या घराला प्राधान्य देतात ते त्याच्या सुटसुटीपणा, चांगलं डिझाइन, परवडणारी किंमत आणि देखभालीला सुलभ असणाऱ्या गुणांमुळे.

छोटं घरं घेण्यात एक महत्त्वाचा मुद्दा असतो तो किमतीचा. मुंबईत घर घेताना किंमत हा सर्वात महत्त्वाचा घटक असतो. घराचा आकार मोठा असला की त्यासाठी जास्त पैसे लागतात. अशा घराची मूळ किंमत तर अधिक असतेच. त्याचबरोबर त्याचं रिनोव्हेशन, छत किंवा फ्लोअरिंग बदलणं, मासिक मेण्टेनन्स चार्जेस आदी खर्चही जास्त असतात. मुंबईत छोटी घरं कोण खरेदी करतात? अविवाहित नोकरदार किंवा व्यावसायिक आणि नव्याने लग्न झालेली जोडपी. कारण त्यांना त्यांच्यासाठी वेळ फार महत्त्वाचा असतो आणि छोटी घरं त्यांचा वेळ वाचवतात. म्हणजे मोठं घर घेण्यास वेळ लागतो आणि त्यांची देखभाल करण्यासही अधिक वेळ आणि श्रम लागतात. या दोन्हींची छोट्या घरांमध्ये बचत होते. छोट्या घरात राहताना वेळेची बचत होते. प्रवासात जाणारा वेळ दुसऱ्या चांगल्या कामांमध्ये खर्च करता येतो. सतत धावणाऱ्या मुंबईसारख्या महानगरात या वेळेचं महत्त्व अधिक आहे. छोटं घर म्हणजे दर्जेदार जीवन जगणं होय.

ग्राहकांसाठी छोटं घर खरेदी-विक्री हा फायद्याचा व्यवहार आहे. कारण मुंबईत मोठ्या घरांपेक्षा छोटी घरं खरेदी करणं आणि विकणं खूप सोपं आहे. सध्या छोट्या आणि मोठ्या घरांना विकासकांकडून मिळणाऱ्या पायाभूत सुविधा आणि अन्य सेवा समानच आहेत.

इस फेस्टिवल के दौरान स्नैपडील कई तरह के ऑफर भी पेश कर रहा है। इस फेस्टिवल में ग्राहक अपने बजट के बारे में बता सकते हैं और डिवेलपर उसके मुताबिक उन्हें प्रॉपर्टी सुझाएंगे। स्नैपडील के मुताबिक इस फेस्टिवल में ग्राहकों को मार्केट रेट से करीब छह से 8 पर्सेंट तक कम दाम में प्रॉपर्टी मिल सकेगी।

स्नैपडील के पार्टनरशिप्स ऐंड स्ट्रैटेजिक इनशिटिव्स के सीनियर वाइस प्रेजिडेंट टोनी नवीन ने कहा, 'रियल एस्टेट के प्रॉजेक्ट्स को स्नैपडील पर बहुत अच्छी प्रतिक्रिया मिल रही है। इसकी वजह यह भी है कि हमने विश्वसनीय डिवेलपर्स के साथ करार किया है। इसके अलावा ऑनलाइन और ऑफलाइन ट्रांजैक्शन की हमारी सुविधा ने भी
कस्टमर्स को आकर्षित करने का काम किया है।'

अप्रैल से झोपड़पट्टियों को देना पड़ेगा प्रॉपर्टी टैक्स

झोपड़ी में रहने वालों को सालाना 4800 से 31,500 रुपये तक प्रॉपर्टी टैक्स भरना पड़ सकता है। अहमदाबाद की तर्ज पर लागू होने वाले इस टैक्स के लिए बीएमसी ने अपने कानून में सुधार किया है।

झोपड़ावासियों से प्रॉपर्टी टैक्स वसूलने के लिए बीएमसी ने जल्दी ही सारी झोपड़पट्टियों का सर्वेक्षण करने की तैयारी की है। इससे संबंधित प्रस्ताव बीएमसी लॉ समिति की बैठक में जल्दी ही मंजूरी के लिए पेश किया जाएगा। बीएमसी में शिवसेना की सहयोगी पार्टी बीजेपी ने इस प्रस्ताव का विरोध किया है। बीजेपी नगरसेवक ज्ञानमूर्ति शर्मा ने बताया कि बीएमसी ने झोपड़पट्टियों पर अनायास ही टैक्स लगाने की तैयारी की है, लेकिन झोपड़ावासियों को किसी भी प्रकार की सुविधा नहीं दी जा रही है। इनलोगों को पानी व टॉइलट की गंभीर समस्या से गुजरना पड़ रहा है। इनसे टैक्स वसूलने से पहले इन्हें सारी सुविधाएं मुहैया कराई जानी चाहिए।

गौरतलब है कि बीएमसी द्वारा पहले झोपड़पट्टियों से 'सेवा टैक्स' के तौर पर निवासी झोपड़ों से हर महीने 100 रुपये और अनधिकृत झोपड़ों से 250 रुपये टैक्स वसूला जाता था, लेकिन 2007 से ही 'सेवा टैक्स' को बंद कर दिया गया, उसके उपरांत प्रॉपर्टी टैक्स लागू करने का निर्णय लिया गया। इसके लिए बीएमसी ने पिछले साल 2014 में एक समिति का गठन किया था। इस समिति ने झोपड़पट्टियों को प्रॉपर्टी टैक्स रेडीरेकनर के अनुसार न लगाते हुए अहमदाबाद की तर्ज पर झोपड़पट्टियों के स्क्वेयर फीट व इस्तेमाल के अनुसार एक तय राशि को लागू करने की सिफारिश की है। इस कारण बीएमसी प्रशासन ने झोपड़ावासियों से प्रॉपर्टी टैक्स वसूलने का निर्णय लिया है।

UK house price to crash as global asset prices unravel

Asset prices around the world are collapsing as the global economy slows and UK housing will not escape

House prices have broken free from reality and defied gravity for far too long, but they are an asset like anything else, and there are six clear reasons a nasty correction looms in the coming year .

Global asset price crash

Asset prices around the world soared as central bankers embarked on the greatest money printing experiment in history. While much of that money flowed into the stock market, a great deal also found its way into house prices. What we are now witnessing on trading screens around the world is the unwinding of the era of monetary excess, and house prices will not escape the fallout.

The end of easy money began when the US stopped its third quantitative easing programme in October 2014. That date marks the point the US balance sheet, or amount of money in the system, stopped rising, having soared from $800m in 2008 to more than $4 trillion.

Without an ever-increasing supply of money the world economy is now slowing sharply.

7 Irresistible Dhabas Around Bangalore That Serve The Most Delicious Food

1. Guru Greens

Situated near Bannerghatta road this is one place where you can get the dhaba taste as well as the cleanliness of a decent eatery with proper restrooms. Barring the Chinese items, everything else on the menu is worth a shot. Finding the place shouldn't be a problem; just look for Gottigere Lake.

HolidayIQ Traveller Soumyajit Kundu says, “I was travelling to Lepakshi, which is around 120 km from Hebbal Flyover and situated further off the NH7 after BIAL. Most of the road till you turn on the Lepakshi Road is a superb 4 lane highway. We stopped there to eat."

Situared in Arekere, this is one of the Dhabas not on a highway but in a residential area. Nevertheless many dishes are a steal at their prices and one should not be affected by the absence of a highway near it. This place is not too far away from IIM Bangalore.
