Realtors eye NRIs for housing projects

Presenting India as one of the few high-return real estate markets in the world, over three dozen property developers from the country have come here to attract UK-based NRIs to invest in housing projects back home.

These developers, which include real estate units of large conglomerates like Mahindras, L&T, Godrej and Adani group, would participate in a two-day home fair organised by housing finance major HDFC.

The other realty players participating in this fair include Sobha Developers, Purvankara Projects, Ansal Properties, Unitech Ltd, 3C Company, Emmar MGF, Lodha Group and Hiranandani Constructions.

"There is nothing like owning a home in your homeland," HDFC Managing Director Renu Sud Karnard said.

"Demand for residential housing has witnessed rapid growth through corporate expansion out of the major cities. Amenities such as shopping and recreational centres, and even the infrastructure in these towns can surpass even the major cities. It's an opportune time for NRIs to invest in property in India," she added.

Nearly 40 developers participating in HDFC Indian Homes Fair here would showcase thousands of properties.

NRIs have been known to have a natural affinity towards their homeland and the depreciation of Indian rupee against the dollar makes has made it a win-win deal, experts said, while adding that the benefits from rupee fall is however only for a short period of time.

The developers are also trying to project Indian real estate market as an attractive destination in the backdrop of sinking property prices across the world.

Realty developers from India plan to hold similar fairs in other major global centres in the US and Europe as well.

But some NRIs stay away from investing in Indian real estate properties owing to lack of clarity on regulations and legal issues, as also due to insufficient information on projects and prices.

Karnad said that HDFC would look to work towards removing the misconception that "it is very complicated for NRIs to take out India property applications from the UK.

"HDFC has a base in London, and we can facilitate the process right here. It's safe and secure," she added.

Lokpal Bill must be salvaged

Time to end discord and move forward
The much-anticipated Lokpal Bill, which is being looked upon as a panacea for rampant corruption in the country, is at the crossroads, with government and civil society activists on the joint drafting panel trading charges and betraying woeful lack of mutual trust. With the final round of discussions of the panel slated for June 20 and 21, it is anybody’s guess whether there would be a last-minute compromise or whether the two sides would drift further apart, jeopardizing the Bill itself. The atmospherics are certainly not inspiring. It is not conducive to an agreement when civil society spokesman Arvind Kejriwal avers publicly that what the government is now bringing is not a Lokpal Bill but a ‘Jokepal’ Bill. This when the government members’ spokesman V. Moily is claiming that there has been agreement in principle on 34 of the 40 points of the draft Bill and that the discussions on June 20-21 will focus on the six contentious points on which there is discord.
In the crucial final round, both sides would need to move earnestly towards breaking the logjam. The civil society members’ demand that the Prime Minister and the higher judiciary be brought within the purview of the Lokpal Bill which the government finds unacceptable are not intractable issues. Mr Moily’s olive branch on ‘revising’ the Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill 2010 to provide more stringent steps to tackle corruption in the higher judiciary deserves to be examined. On the government’s part, bringing the Prime Minister within the Lokpal Bill’s purview is worth considering while knitting in some safeguards against misuse. The civil society demand for a structure outside the government to cover all government employees seems impractical because of the sheer size of numbers. Bringing the conduct of MPs in Parliament under the Lokpal is another contentious issue on which the civil society members will need to be realistic.
Some ground has surely been covered on a legislation that has been hanging fire for four decades and the Anna Hazare-led movement has certainly catalyzed this. It would be grave folly for either side to now jeopardize a positive outcome. A greater mutual spirit of accommodation would go a long way in satisfying people at large of the panel’s good intentions in combating the monster of corruption.

Punjab govt cancels Omaxe project in Patiala

Chandigarh, June 17
The Punjab Government today decided to issue a project termination notice to real estate firm Omaxe Limited for allegedly failing to give the promised employment in its integrated township project at Patiala.

The decision was taken during the 44th meeting of the Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority held here under the Chairmanship of Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, an official release said.

Omaxe has allegedly failed to give employment to 1,000 people in the IT and Bio-Tech sectors at the end of third year (August 9, 2010) after commencement of the project. Another 3,000 people were to be given employment by the end of the fourth year, a spokesperson said.

Omaxe was to develop IT and Biotech sector on 1.5 lakh square feet of area, which was to be part of integrated township project in Patiala.

The state government also announced that in future, the entire development of the said project would be done by Punjab Urban Development Authority (PUDA).

Meanwhile, Omaxe has strongly contested the desion. An Omaxe spokesperson said it released ads inviting expression of interests for IT and Bio-tech parks but the company and Patiala Development Authority (PDA) didn't receive any response.

The permissible time for developing the IT & BIO-tech park in PDA Omaxe City is four years ending on August 2011.

The company and PDA is adhering to the provisions of the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) and despite several attempts to sell IT & Bio-tech parks, it didn't get any response due to economic slowdown and market dynamics which is beyond its control, he said.

The steering committee (comprising of two members from PDA and two members from Omaxe) requested the Punjab government for an extension of two years for developing the these parks, spokesperson added. — PTI

The 3W’s of selling property - SRE India.in

In our earlier article we have already discussed about property investment in great detail. We emphasized more on property selling. Let us understand the concept of Selling in a better way. Selling property is easy only if you have polished your skills and have trained yourself in such a way. You must have heard people from the sales fraternity say; “Close the deal” or use phrases like “Strike the iron when it is hot.” Well, closing the deal is most important part of selling. However, experience and skill is what which gets one here. Let us be a more specific towards Property selling and try to get into a property sellers shoes to assess the job better. Firstly you should be well versed with the 3W’s of property selling namely, WHY to sell? , WHAT to sell? and WHEN to sell?
So our first question is “WHY TO SELL?”
This is purely a matter of your consideration and requirement. One faces lot of challenges and adverse circumstances in life. Talking about financial adverse circumstances, it is your property which can rescue you. If selling property is the only answer to your financial problem then you should soon take a decision soon. Also sometimes it is profitable to sell your property when the market is favourable and promising.
Here comes our second question that is “WHAT TO SELL?”
Sellingproperty doesn’t mean that you arbitrarily select one of the properties out of your investments and sell it. Rather you have to be cautious while taking such a decision so that you get maximum returns out of your transaction. So if you have a property that is not worth keeping as an investment then you can consider it for selling purposes. Similarly if any of your property has no scope of further revenue generation then you can sell it at the best rate.
Our next question is very closely associated with the second one, it is about “WHEN TOSELL?”
This is quiet tricky to answer because it depends both on your requirement and market forces. In case of urgency there is no question of the right time. Under normal circumstances, the decision is based upon detailed market research and analysis. You should always stay updated with real estate industry trends and should closely follow amendments in laws and regulations. Also keep an eye on the various proposals which you must be getting from probable customers. There is no harm in cashing the right opportunity.

Once again we’ll advice you to discuss the matter in great detail and go for real estateadvisory services as well so that you get the right price for your property. The above discussed points will surely help you to take better decisions while planning to sell your property.
