ABA Corp sets tone for Best Practices in Greater Noida West

Driving down the Noida-Greater Noida property market in general and the Greater Noida West, better known as Noida Extension in popular parlance, could be a delightful rendezvous for any news hungry journalist. Which scribe won’t want a dose of controversy and sensationalism for filing a juicy story? And this market has it all – housing project delays, defaults, cheating, harassment, builders’ high handedness, blatant lies with oozing confidence, and last but not the least, consumer protest all around.

Finding a genuine real estate developer, in today’s crowded space

Residential markets such as Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi and more have witnessed price corrections ranging from 1%-2.3% during the quarter, suggesting the solidity of the housing sector even in difficult times. However, with this price increase, you will still come across certain real estate brands offering discounts and continuing to sell at the previous cost of construction.

Legal due diligence in property purchase avoids future litigation: Advocate Devesh Ratan

Devesh Ratan: A lawyer who is exclusively representing you will only look at your interest. A broker has to charge his brokerage from both the parties; he will never say this property has this deficiency, or the papers that you are signing is fixing your liability. For example, many developers put it in their Agreement Form that if they delay the project they will only pay INR 5 but if the buyer delays the payment he has to pay at the rate of 10-15. Only a lawyer can tell you this kind of liability is wrong and it should be negotiated upon.

Unfair Contract is a disease: Advocate Nirmit Srivastav

In India, the moment you buy a house the joke is on you – whether you get the possession of the house, or that possession is delayed or even denied. The buyers’ harassment starts with the Builder Buyer Agreement which in most of the cases is a one-sided document. The buyers mostly have no other choice but to sign on the dotted lines, because by the time the Builder Buyer Agreement is thrown at their face they have already paid the initial booking amount.

Has changes to land laws in J&K changed ground realties?

The changes in the land laws in Jammu & Kashmir has mostly been debated from the political standpoint. However, it has a direct linkage with the way the property market would shape up in a tourist destination that has thus far been seen as a hostile destination. The moot point today is whether the changed land laws would lead to any tangible difference in the property market over there.

Silver lining of 2020 for Indian real estate

Beyond the pessimism & optimism and, to some extent, more than expected recovery post the Covid-19 lockdown, the fact remains that 2020 has been by and large the most unforgettable year for the economy in general and the real estate market in particular.
