Will fractional ownership change commercial property market ahead?

Fractional Ownership is an evolving concept, on the lines of REIT but very different from REIT. Unlike REIT, which is a listed entity owning income producing real estate, Fractional Ownership is coming together of investors to pool their funds and jointly purchase real estate. Though in its very essence, the idea is to rent it out and earn the equitable rentals, many ‘office for a limited purpose’ investors are also getting into Fractional Ownership for convenience.

Labour shortage a perennial problem of Indian real estate

Ram Kirpal is a construction worker in Noida. However, this daily wage earner is not a regular employee or even contractual worker with any real estate company or contractor. He goes back to his native place, Purnea in Bihar, on each harvest season and agriculture continues to be his main occupation.

Legal safeguards for home buyers against Unfair Contract

Isn’t it ironic that in a country where the number of unsold housing units is skyrocketing, the business of real estate continues to be a seller’s market? Contrary to the developers’ influence peddling that the housing market is by and large a buyer’s market now, the fact lies that the developers continue to take the buyers for a ride. The developers’ exploitative practices are not limited to the delay of the project, but also default in delivering the promised amenities, and, most glaringly, with one-sided unfair contract. Track2Realty explains the options before the home buyers.
