RERA setting new precedents for Real Estate in India; A buyer’s outlook.

RERA sets the groundwork to clean the real estate practices in India As we usher in a new day and age for India, the last decade provided the seeds of growth for India on a path to becoming a superpower. Our brightest minds are pioneering and treading new ways across industries. Be it steering multi-million dollar organisations as the CEO or CFO to building bright new start-ups, there’s much to be proud about, for the unique amalgamation of communities, that is India. Like the strides in several industries, the real estate space has woken up to a new age of compliance and accountability with the establishment of RERA (The Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act, 2016) which came into effect on 1st May, 2017, to help standardise several practices in the real estate world and thereby also provide you, the buyer with some credible backing to stand against any errant realtors. Not so long ago were the days when builders and realtors made false promises and lent a deaf year to the complaints of their buyers. With the establishment of RERA and its Regulatory Authorities (RAs) across states in India, realtors now need to follow through in strict adherence to the policies of the act, which have been compiled keeping the buyer in mind. While the pre-RERA days of buying a new home might still haunt many of you, like challenges of getting possession of your homes in time to navigating through layers of misinformation or to get your requests heard. With RERA, you can certainly breathe an air of relief. Let’s look at some of the aspects of this Act and how they benefit you, the buyer: Information and Transparency – Often times, you would have heard your friends and relatives harrow on about having been promised something and then dumped when they got the delivery of their homes; stories of realtors promising wonderlands, who failed to satisfy even the mediocre basics. RERA has taken charge to ensure that realtors keep to their word. This means no false advertising, no hidden costs and unexpected changes in timelines or project plans. It means clarity on development layouts, schedules and timely updates to keep you abreast with the building of your home. Allocation, Misappropriation of Funds and Charges: While construction and development of residential and commercial projects is a mammoth task, a good builder is expected to be conscious in their allocation of resources and funds to ensure they meet the expectations of their buyers. Although, all too often we have heard of builders allocating funds from one project to another which in fact is incorrect as it causes delays or resource shortages on the projects for which the funds were allocated in the first place. Under RERA, Authorities have come up with a simple way to tackle these cases of misappropriation that have affected so many projects and home owners, some who have had to wait more than 7years to get the keys to their homes, due to construction delays on their projects. From now on, all builders and promoters have to deposit funds into escrow accounts and can only utilize those funds for the project they are intended for. RERA having registered information of the builders and their projects will maintain stringent checks to ensure these rules are followed. What’s more, realtors can no longer levy exorbitant booking charges from potential buyers. RERA has restricted the same to a maximum of 10% on the property cost unless and until a registered sale agreement between both parties is signed. Quality and Promise: Any real estate project since the establishment of the act and also on-going projects started prior to the act coming into effect, have to be registered under RERA and builders have to submit all plans, resource estimations and other particulars before commencing on the project. RERA then reserves the rights to scrutinize any changes proposed by certified architects, planner and chartered accountants to ensure there is no foul play. If found, Regulatory Authorities, can impose significant penalties on the builders and promoters and in some cases even compensatory payments to the buyers for inconveniences. Furthermore when a project is completed, RERA will conduct an inspection to make sure the builder has abided by the proposed plan and promised level of quality. As a buyer, you also have a 5 year window to raise any quality complaints on the development to RERA authorities who will then conduct an investigation to determine the appropriate actions. A Governing Authority: Being one of the first acts registered in the real-estate space, RERA aims at providing a veil of protection for real estate buyers. The authority requires all realtors, builders, agents and consultants operating in the real estate space to register themselves with their respective state regulatory body and thereby agree to abide by the prescribed rules and regulations of the act. This establishes authenticity of promoters, real-estate owners and agents. RERA dawns an age of accountability for Real Estate businesses and safeguards the rights of buyers, thereby levelling the playing field. We look forward to more developments in the space of real estate policies and will be sure to keep sharing new updates with you, our readers. If you would like to dive deeper into the clauses and provision of the act along with its benefits, we recommend checking the following article: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/real-estate/rera-sets-the-ground-rules-to-clean-up-the-real-estate/articleshow/58453059.cms

Make your home Insta-perfect!

We have all heard the idiom, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ and for those of you who are well-versed with the trends of Instagram; you know that a good picture is the only words that really matter. So how are you showcasing your interiors to your social media followers? Taking attractive photos of your homes can be challenging, but it’s a skill that can be developed. Interior design is best conveyed through a strong visual language like photography so it makes sense for Instagram to be your go-to app. If you’re enthusiastic about photography, especially the art of home photography, then we have your back! What does it mean really to take pictures of interiors? Especially of your home? Here are a few things you need to know to make every shot an Insta-worthy shot! 1. Include People Surely, there are some interiors that look best, left untouched but seeing how people are interacting within these environments can also provide an air of creativity to your photographs. 2. Be Low light-ready! Low light is a frequent problem with interior photograph. Shooting interiors means low light is going to be a problem which can be solved using a tripod. Experiment with textures and colours to bring the bright effect. Also keep an eye out for black and white; sometimes, spaces will look vastly different and special if given the black and white effect. 3. Tell a story Your picture is only as good as the story it tells. Photographs of walls and ceilings can certainly be pretty though you can make them purposeful by adding character and dynamism. Explore angles and elements in your picture. An open book left upside down or a jacket lying on the sofa’s hand rest add conspicuous elements to the story which can sometimes make all the difference. This article gave us a lot of inspiration on how we capture our interiors and might give you some more take home advice. http://www.idealhome.co.uk/all-rooms-ideas/make-home-insta-perfect-5-secrets-take-amazing-interiors-photos-185745

Architecture Trends in 2018

The New Year brought about a lot of changes in design and décor. For your benefit, we decided to compile a list of new trends that will makes waves and demand attention in 2018. Architecture is constantly influenced by trends in art as well as socio-cultural nuances and great designers often bridge the gap between the two. Having worked with the likes of Phillipe Starck, Jon Hitchcox, and Kelly Hoppen, we know that exciting is as exciting does! While we don’t expect you to knock down your walls and start from scratch but adopting a few design changes will help you give your home a new-age feel and be cognizant with the trends of the year. Let’s look at some of the trends have gained prominence this year. 1. Open Space Living: Long gone are the days of formal living rooms and enclosed kitchens. Open-plan living is an embodiment of togetherness excluding the separatist elements that most conventional architecture follow. While open plans in your home’s layout tend to require a homogenous style and design, when done right, these changes will radically improve the way you look at space in your homes. You may already be familiar with open kitchen layouts, you can take this a step forward with removing separations between your hall and dinning or between your lounge and living rooms to maximise on space. It also works great when you are hosting friends over or having a party as it gives your guests more area to make themselves comfortable without acting as outcasts from the group. Since we are talking about removing binding separations, you can also experiment with foldable, temporary separators to maintain elements of privacy and enclosure as per your flexible needs. 2. Natural Lighting It is a universally accepted truth that nothing brings more character and vibrance to a home like natural light! 2018 foresees more focus on using, adapting, and even manipulating natural light to bring out more harmony in your living spaces. Good and appropriate lighting will add a sense of purpose to your room. For example, you want your living and lounge spaces to allow as much of natural light in as possible, to make the atmosphere bright and welcoming. Contrarily, you might want to control the lighting in your study or workspaces to keep the focus around what you prioritize. A lot of designers these days are experimenting with the perceptual and aesthetic aspects of natural light by using its inherent dynamism and variability. 3. Smart Homes We are at a cusp of technology redefining our lifestyles and our homes are no exclusion. Today, there are a variety of options to make our homes smarter to personal requirements. From investing in personal home assistants to app controlled lighting and door security systems, there’s plenty to consider and integrate into our lifestyles. Technology integration in homes will certainly be keystone to residential architecture. One of the things to keep in mind is that with the development of Internet of Things (IoT) more and more systems will be able to communicate with each other, so don’t be surprised if your garage door is open when your car approaches the drive way or your lights are turned on as soon as you enter your homes. The idea of infusing technology is to personalize our living experiences by matching them to our preferences. Over time this will significantly help us conserve energy and effectively distribute resources. For now go ahead and take your pick of the market ready innovations and be ready to incorporate many more over the next few years. We hope you enjoyed this sneak-peak into architectural trends of 2018. We’ll keep you posted about new and exclusive information about design, architecture and interiors to keep you ahead of the curve and your homes sparkling with exuberance.

ABCs of CRE Investment

Institutional investors, in particular, are more drawn to CRE investments. Armed with decisions made by asset managers and investor analysts, CRE portfolios are faring better. This is also true since this practice now eliminates ad-hoc pricing by local property managers out of the equation. CRE investment in such a case is seen as a cold, calculated affair with metrics firmly entrenched in revenue and cost centres. This is in turn has a ripple effect specially with standardisation practices setting in which to an extent make negotiations with smaller tenants less desirable and easier. However, investing in CRE isn’t quite a cakewalk. There are several thumb rules to consider before venturing into a CRE portfolio investment. Few of these include elementary basics like Location, the Demand- Supply curve, the problems of rent and its variations, fitouts and management, and of course, Diversification. In this article in the Economic Times, Kunal Moktan discusses in detail on the ten rules of commercial real estate investing

Let’s talk palettes. The colours of 2018.

Apart from the shell of concrete, stone and steel that is your, it is a reflection of your identity. The patterns, textures and designs create a resonance with who you are and what you aspire to be. Which is why the rich and fabulous go to heightened extents of elaborate undertakings with designers to create interiors that they would feel proud to bring friends home to. So today we are going to take a look into one of the defining aspects of your interiors – the colour palette. Colour is more than the stereotypical blue for boys and pink for girls, it sets a tone and tenor for each aspect of your home. Dark shades can be inspiring or contemplative while lighter blends invoke a sense of calm and space. But how do you go about choosing your colors, well for starters forget color, think about what you want the room to reflect. Is it a study where you will spend a lot of time? Or perhaps a lounge room where you would entertain guests? Once you have the purpose of the room in the place, let’s dig deeper. If it’s a study, do you want inspiring colours or less distracting ones? Sure most study rooms, have mahogany, teak or some wooden and blends of green and brown, maybe with a splash of dull red but you don’t have to follow that norm. As a creative myself, it’d love to have some bold red, maybe even ultra-violet mixed with white. Try and check out different shades and colours to expand your understanding of how colours compliment or highlight one another. Take inspiration from designers like Phillipe Starck, who created a fabulous palette for yoopune in our recent addition to luxury residential properties by Panchshil. You’ll notice that several of the palettes reflect a certain style as well as persona and that’s another unique aspect about colour. It can have immense psychological impact on our perspectives, which you’ll want to leverage in your interior design. Are you a jovial person who has a light hearted spirit or would you rather imbue a dominating and bold appearance? Be sure to have discussion on these lines with your interior designers to give them an idea of what you are likely to appreciate. Oftentimes the most we tell our interior designers and decorators are which colours we dislike and prefer but you might actually be limiting yourself from finding something that you would truly enjoy. Feel free to mention the colours you aren’t fond of but don’t use that as an excuse to reject every shade of yellow or purple.

The complex where the apartment is located determines if your home is easily accessible to important social infrastructure like educational institutes, medical facilities, entertainment an social avenues.

Function. Finish One of the most commonly overlooked factors while buying a luxury apartment is the level of attention to detail by the developer.

Another important factor is to ensure that luxury fixings, such as climate control systems, solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems are of the quality that your monetary investment requires. The construction technique, quality of materials used and the premium fitting always tell the true story of luxury. Technology Most luxury apartments are meticulously designed to offer maximum comfort and cutting edge facilities to the resident.
