90% builder are sucker
by NoManLand on Nov 28, 2007 11:11 AM

In todays time purchasing home is big headache.
90% builder are sucker.
End of the home deal customer is a victim.
Government don't want to take any action on builder, because political people get huge funding from builder lobby.
So be very careful is home deal with builders.

High Rates
by Divyesh Sampat on Nov 25, 2007 01:43 PM  | Hide replies

is there any jstification for high rates. just because share market is high the rates are high ? What a logic ?
Is there any regulatory body to have ceiling on it.
Middle level income group people cannot think of buying a property in Mumbai now !!!!
Coz everyone in minitry is corrupt as they get their share what builders give them.

by 'the renegade',
the scenario now is that there is too much black money circulating in the economy eg. benamy properties of politicians, businessman and corrupt bureaucrats who turn to real estate as investors and hold property. the demand is from investors and not from end users. please wait for rates to drop. ultimately these people have to sell... till then stay on rented flats and payout from your FD interest savings!!!

This won't(fall in prices)happen. Because as you have pointed out this sector is basically investor-driven market. The investor will hold on to the property till he gets his expected appreciation in value. If it is not happening, the owner can let out his flat/house and thus he cab still get a reasonable return on his investment. And you know, there are so many homeless people these days looking for a rented accommodation and one can easily find a tenent.

There are Builders also who take loans from bank for the construction and have to repay the loan amount. Those builders will have to sell the flat if they are not being purchased. Investors don't buy 100% flats in a newly constructed building. Those flats owned by investors can be rented as an alternate but big investors generally don't look at small margins and always try to sell property at good rates. It is only the buyers or say demand which had increased the price of property.

Why do not we have a real estate regulator in India?
by Nagesh on Nov 25, 2007 01:29 PM

Every sector (Stock market, Banking, Insurance, telecom...) has a regulator which are meant to protect the interests of the public and that unfair trade practices are not adapted.

I agree that land and revenue are state subjects. Why isnt every state forming legislations to setup a regulator? Are nt our politicians beyond the real estate lobby (read Deve Gowda, Om Prakash Chautala...)?

Its high time for a strong central regulator without whose approval no real estate project can be launched. We need a regulator like SEBI...Stop buying flats and filling the pockets of the builders...

very little option. Before buying the property did you make legal verification of the property. Is it a reputed builder ?

private sector banks do not make proper verification. You should have verified it with some other lawyer. I too have faced this problem earlier. Banks approval does not mean anything. Real Estate industry is unregulated in India.

Clearly HDFC did not do a proper verification of the asset before sanctioning the loan. Stop the EMI. HDFC will be forced to take the possession of the flat and auction the property to recover its money.

Its true that stopping the EMI will wake the bank up and you should not be paying for an asset which is not legally yours.

Most Builders do not want to care and the banks are callous in their attitude when they approve a builder or project for loan eligibility without verifying the authenticity of all.

In the process, builder gets his money, banks will repossess the flat and take back their money but the ultimate sufferer is the buying person who has become a sucker having lost time in buying a place of his wishes at his affordable cost.

Growing Indian Housing scenario....a true replica of Mental backwardness of living conditions, morals and Corrupt authorites.
by ratnajayant gudavally on Nov 20, 2007 05:58 PM

All over India all builders and the Land lords of the project should produce a certificate of guarantee that they are genuine project developers with all clearances including professional expertise, IT clearance Pan card, and Proof of address along with satisfaction certificates of previous ventures.

I know a group of masons and centering workers joining an Engr., young fresh graduate of Engg. joining hands with a land lord who does not know the credentials of the co- developers handling the construction, getting clearance of Municipal authorities , ICICI Bank.

No water supply due to the neighboring residents and poor drainage causing anxiety and risk of demolition of such constructions by the same authorities who have given the permissions and approvals%u2026..Taste of illegal money !!!!!!

Incomplete civil jobs etc., It is a monument of the failure of Civic authorities and Bankers who advance loans and make a fast buck along with the cunning operators. Any solutions ???... OR %u2026 are we just exerting our lungs only ?????????
