In development activity, there are added costs of improvements themselves and the fees of various and sundry consultants necessary to get the work done properly. India real estate has recovered faster than the economy itself. The idea of buying real estate in India is a good one. India Real Estate market has been seeing multi level rise in the past few years. If industry sources are to be believed, this upward graph has no sign of coming down or even lying flat for few more years to come. The facts that major real estate companies in India are going public, proves the potential of the Indian property market. Starting from infrastructure development to residential complex, commercial real estate to retail space development India property market is booming with all kinds of activities. Thanks to the Government approval of 100% FDI in India real estate development and steady capital market, some all time big investments are being made in the real estate sector. Buyers from all across the world are showing interest and Indian property now features at the top of the list of the international real estate investors.


Despite the fact that Mumbai is overpopulated, it has various employment opportunities. That’s why people are migrating to Mumbai either in search of jobs or are placed there by big multi- national companies. Mumbai real estate is not upcoming but an established one and has a lot to offer from Plush penthouses and luxurious duplexes. Also there are residential projects to fully furnished offices and 'built-to-suit' commercial spaces including upscale multi-family apartment communities. In short, Mumbai is the best place to reside and hunt for properties. But if you are more inclined towards commercial property in Mumbai real estate then you can consider the upcoming multiplexes, malls, technology parks, and office complexes and a range of property for facilities like clubs, banks, entertainment centers or food courts. Also Mumbai real estate offers great to live in, self-contained townships, offering swanky options in all these real estate segments at a single location. If you find it enough then there is more to come as Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority has decided to achieve a balanced development.

It works like this - a beautiful beach destination is discovered. Tourists arrive. Resorts and tourism industry develops. The undiscovered affordable vacation destination only becomes affordable by those who are loaded with money.

Caribbean luxury rentals were run on a word-of-mouth basis in the past. The Internet has changed the way these luxury villas were rented out. You can discover a number of Caribbean luxury rentals in different websites. Some of these are not just affordable, but fall in the low cost category. You can even stay for a week in these low cost Caribbean luxury rentals.

Sometimes, there are strings attached to these rentals. One of them is a minimum stay of seven days in order to receive the special price. If you are planning a break for a week or more, these luxury rentals are a great opportunity to explore the islands in leisure.

The islands in the Caribbean have a safe and welcoming culture that suit families with children. Even honeymooners and romantic couples love some parts of these islands. The reputation of West Indies for its fresh food and vibrant culture makes it a top tourist destination. An exciting night life, golf courses, watersports, boating and fishing along with cruises adds to the charm.

Many Caribbean luxury rentals also offer the opportunity to hold weddings. However, this may seem easier said than done. Getting things organized for a wedding is far easier at an all inclusive resort than in a Caribbean rental. .

Caribbean luxury rentals are a great way to spend some quality time with the family or friends. Depending upon the type of rentals, you can also plan different activities for each member of your family.

Even the village offices and taluk offices are beginning to get computerized. This has resulted in a more orderly documentation processing system. No sub-registrar office will allow registration of land without furnishing a complete set of the mandatory documents. Even though there are so many safeguards yet people continue to get duped during their investments in the real estate.

The safest way to go about any real estate matter these days is to seek legal help. In fact it is advisable that a lawyer is engaged for the complete transaction. An experienced lawyer can verify the legal sanctity of the documents and pinpoint any irregularities. It is extremely crucial that the agreements between the buyer and seller are in order. Checking the original documents in the possession of the builder and verifying the legal status of the land of the proposed project is a must for every prospective buyer. However, the issues related to buying apartments are totally different and perhaps more complicated, than buying land, though people may be oblivious to this fact. The reputation of the builder may be of some solace to the buyer because by and large an established builder is unlikely to risk their reputation by resorting to fraud for some profit and easy money. Every buyer has the responsibility and right to demand the original documents and verify the legal status of the apartment before finalizing the deal. In the case of property owned by a business person it is vital to verify the income tax receipts and other such documents too!. ]]>Tue, 04 Nov 2008 07:39:02 GMThttp://www.publicangel.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/159/http://www.publicangel.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/159/ Kerala apartments will soon cost less in terms of interest paid. After nearly three years, the banks are reducing the rates. Some banks like HDFC Ltd. and Allahabad Bank has reduced the rates. Others banks are sure to follow the lead. The good news is that the reduction on interest rates will continue for sometime as they plan to pass on the decline in the cost of funds. The deposit rates have already come down.

Bad loans account for less than 1% of the home loan portfolio. With this, this segment is once again coming up as a nice option for bankers.

The previous steady increase in home loan interest rates have pulled home loans disbursement by 15-20% in first three months of the current year. With soaring property prices as well as loans there was an apparent slowing down in the real estate sector. However, the decline in interest rates is sure to come as a balm to many.

There has been a sharp drop in the demand for personal loans with home loans comprising of fifty percent of the total personal loan portfolio. With the inflation dropping, banks may reduce the interest rates in the next few months. It would then certainly result in an immediate pick up in demand for home loans. ]]>Fri, 03 Oct 2008 06:07:20 GMThttp://www.publicangel.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/143/http://www.publicangel.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/143/
This news release confirms everything I have been saying for the past two years and also suggests that there's still a long way to go before Cyprus comes off the investor map.


The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors European Housing Review 2008 has described Cyprus as ‘a rare case of a country shrugging off the gloom.'

Experts have said that Cyprus is a solid bet for international investors as its price rises seem to be accelerating.

Reasons behind the booming property market include Cyprus double-taxation agreement with the UK, which entices numerous investors drawn by the tax advantages of not having to pay tax in both their home country and investment country.

Cyprus also has a legal system based on the British model, far less volatility than other emerging markets, a high standard of living, good medical facilities and a very low crime rate, sitting at just one sixth of the European average.

With an increasing ex-pat community of British retires and the upgrading of Larnaca and Paphos airports making travel easier, the future bodes well for Cyprus following it joining the Euro currency in 2008.

James Fleure of Buy Abroad said, "Cyprus is a perfect overseas destination for those looking to take advantage of owning a property abroad.

"This steady yet performing market is attractive to those who are looking to have all the benefits of owning abroad.

"Cyprus' is one of the safest markets around with a steady increase of up to 15 per cent per year on property.

"Emerging markets with dramatic price increases often fall far short on good solid infrastructures.

"Cyprus is a safe bet and with significant increases to property each year is still probably one of the best areas in the Mediterranean to invest in," Mr Fleure added.

In addition to the above comments, I personally believe that there will be a second tier of growth in Cyprus at the end of 2009 that coincides with the opening of the new airport terminal, and budget airlines scheduling more cheaper flights to the island. Plus of course, in the longer term, there is the extraction of the oil that was recently discovered off the Southern Coast. This will bring people, business, and wealth to the island and fuel the economy in years to come.

I personally invest in the Larnaca area, where there is a tremendous shortage of QUALITY accommodation. You have the option of local lets, holiday lets, and, more recently corporate lets.

In fact, I have just got back from Cyprus yesterday and I am very positive about everything that is happening over there in terms of property.

Here are my main tips for investing safely in Cyprus:

1. Cyprus is a mid to long term investment, like any investment.

2. Buy at the upper end of the market.

3. Do proper, indepth due diligence.

4. Steer clear of Tersefanou and the "alleged" golf course. There is going to be nothing there for at least five years and Tersefanou itself is literally a dump. (It's built over a land fill site and has no amenities).

5. Buy a property with a USP i.e. sea views, outside space, gym, swimming pool, penthouse etc. NOT an identi-kit box flat in the middle of nowhere.

6. Buy somewhere within 15 mins of the airport and 10 mins of the beach.

7. Avoid Paralimmni, Kipparis, Aiya Napa etc are these areas are totally seasonal and are shut down for six months of the year - I am speaking from experience here as I visited Prataras in October and it was like a ghost town. Not a single shop, bar, restaurant or hotel was open. There was tumbleweed in the road! Seriously!

8. Larnaca area is the best place to buy as it is getting the lion's share of the EU money, the airport is being expanded, it is the business hub of Cyprus, prices are still reasonable etc.

9. Expect to be fairly hands on getting your property let. Advertise to your family and friends and use social networking to raise awareness of your property. Do not rely solely on local agents as they do not operate to the standards we expect.

I was disappointed to hear about XL going bust - they were a good airline and I enjoyed their service. However, I do believe that when the new airport terminal opens in November 2009, a lot of new routes will be added. There are apparently going to be direct flights from the U.S.A. I see Cyprus as being a hub between Africa, Middle East, and Europe.

Finally, don't forget that Cyprus is the no. 1 tax haven in Europe and will therefore always attract wealthy people and businesses. Also, its and island and has a limited supply of land.

Larnaca was blighted by the oil refinery but that is in the process of being dismantled and moved inland. It is actually a very pretty town along the seafront and promenade. The surrounding villages like Kiti, Mazatos, and Pervolia (where I invest) are very pretty and traditional, yet have all amenities anyone could want.

So the outlook for Cyprus continues to be very bright, both in the short and long term, which is always reassuring for investors.

When considering globalization’s social and spatial selectivity especially in the real estate sector in India, an analysis can be done on three geographical scales. In the international arena, most low income and many middle-income nations have little prospect of attracting foreign direct investment, especially in the real estate sector, but the developments in India was an exception to this rule. Within nations, in most cases, global investment was seen to be concentrated in just one or two cities and also in certain areas within cities that served as global markets. A classic example is that of Russia, wherein foreign investment was seen just in one city, that is Moscow.

Today the continuous boom in the economy has made India Real Estate the cynosure of all eyes globally. Almost all states, cities and other areas are now at the core, semi-periphery or periphery of the world economy. In some areas within cities like Bangalore and also in other cities with expatriate populations, globalization has had varied impact.

The aftereffect of globalization’s influence on the cities located in the different regions and also on other areas located within each city has been mixed. As of now no city or human settlement in India has remained untouched by the process of globalization.

I was wondering if anyone has bought property in Dubai.

Particularly in the Dubai Marina.
