Is there any custodian of due diligence in Indian housing?

Housing project is approved by the government agency; RERA; and banks & financial institutions! Shouldn’t this be enough to instil confidence of the home buyers that the housing project is safe to invest? How could otherwise a builder with poor execution capabilities or fiscal imbalance cross the three eyes of scrutiny and dodge the bullet at each and every level of checks & balances? Track2Realty questions as to who is the custodian of due diligence in the housing market?

7 years of RERA; 7 unaddressed questions

It was conceptualised to clean the opaque ecosystem of Indian real estate; was touted to be the biggest reform of the sector; and expected to enhance the home buyers’ confidence index. But seven long years after the enactment of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), it has still not evolved as a stamp of trust for the harassed home buyers. RERA’s tryst with trial & error has not only dented the confidence of the home buyers but also lent credence to the perception that complaint with RERA rather gives an edge to the builders. After all, RERA has been relegated to be the balancing act for both the builder and the buyer. A Track2Realty analysis.

Home buyers’ satisfaction index still low after 7 years of RERA: Survey

As RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) is close to its 7 years of completion, the home buyers across the nation have more to complain than compliment with what was supposed to be a game changer legislation. The buyers rather question as to RERA has been enacted to serve whose purpose. Most of the home buyers across India’s top 10 cities point out that the ground realities have not changed for them. A vast majority of them feel it has opened another window of litigation and thus hurts than helps the buyers. Issues range from lack of transparency to accountability, and existing market realities to consumer interface.

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.

RERA Satisfaction Index pretty low across India

The home buyers have for long alleged that the RERA has failed to provide them substantial relief in the wake of project delay or defaults. Now the Allahabad High Court has also taken cognizance of the issue and has not only questioned reasons of non-execution but also asked for the roadmap as to how RERA Recovery Certificates would be executed.

RERA doesn’t evoke confidence of the homebuyers

Projects worth INR 4,64,300 crore for a total of 575,900 units are already significantly behind schedule. These 5,75,900 units have been stuck since 2013 or before. However, what is even more disturbing than these staggering number is the fact that in many of the states RERA has been diluted to the extent that it allows the erring developers with the existing projects to get away with the fault lines.

Builders’ & buyers’ perspective differ after 1 year of RERA

RERA is one year old now and already the homebuyers are questioning the legislation, in the absence of any visible changes on the ground. The developers, on the contrary, feel RERA has already identified the challenges and hit the nail. Within the built environment the debate is inconclusive as to what extent RERA has brought in transparency and accountability and to what extent has it enhanced homebuyer confidence.

RERA to end uncertainty in Goa real estate

Goa real estate has been witness to a prolonged spell of slowdown and both the homebuyers as well as the developers have waited for long to see a turnaround. Slow moving market, demonetization, GST and RERA have collectively led to a situation where the fence sitting buyers have preferred to defer their decision of buying a house. While the first three factors have dented their confidence, RER
