India real estate…apartments vs villas…

[dasari4kntr]

i have some random thoughts…i would like to discuss this…in both NRI perspective and resident Indian perspective… 

urban living has many challenges…but major challenges are water availability,  traffic issues and weather and pollution…etc i want to discuss these challenges in …apartment vs villa comparison ..

 

APARTMENTS

- mostly these will be in city surroundings, so public transport is easily accessible…so less traffic issue’s compared to others…

- more water issues may occur in future 

- if you got the flat above 20th or 30th floor…you will get less pollution 

- if your planning for giving to rent…it’s better investment than villa..

- if your planning to sell after the builder finish the building…do it as early as possible 

- if your choice is apartment go for modern cosmopolitan communities which has good amenities and as much as near to public transportation 

 

VILLA

- mostly villas will be in city outskirts so less water issues but more traffic and commute issues

- public transport will be an issue you may need your own vehicle 

- villa owners  should be ready for pollution and possible flooding if you are in down hill…

- if your investing on villa for rent…i think its bad investment…

- unlike apartment you cant sell the villa immediately…it needs sometime to get good returns…

- if your choice is villa…go far and get it on cheap price and wait for bit long to get good returns…

 

@Assam_Bhayya bro…correct me…or  add your points if i miss any…

Whatever you buy, make sure someone is watching it.. we had some bad experience with tenants… friends have even worse experiences and some even lost their properties..

Agree but the premiums you pay for stuff like clubhouse,  tennis , yoga etc when you are nit using , instead I will pay them for known lobby to protect, the value for money is more in lands,  yes I understand if parents or siblings are living there they enjoying the amenities worth , but vallu memu raamu , a city life faulthu waste anaru anuko manam just renter enjoy cheyadaniki ichinatku untadi, and those are coming at hefty price , if u invest the same in growth cities here it's more safe and more value just naa yokka idi ivala repu fundamentals logic doesn't work go with the flow anthe

my idea of investing in community apartments as NRI is…builders take three to four years for building those high towers and other amenities…once it is ready if you are not planning to stay…dont go for registration and sell it immediately…your selling price includes those amenities as well..isnt it…?

thats why i mentioned take your apartment investment should be near to public transportation like metro..etc within the city…not far away from city…

another major thing…if it is apartment and you want to sell it immediately after the community is ready…dont buy with loan…go without loan…

Oka apartment unit ayithe konochu bro, that too 12 to 15 floors max. Highrises ku definite ga water problem ravochu, recycling laanti ideas tho drinking water thappa, motham supply recycled water supply cheyalsi osthe em chestham. High rise ante upscale community ani cheppi maintenance ekkuva untadhi, maintenance thinestharu, scams, ultra rich or manakante konchem ekkuva status vallatho unna sarey kids ku comparison issues osthayi. Better to like in non high rise, 12 floor gated communities, medium range ones, neighbors kuda friendly attitude untadhi.

Apartment is never an investment. But, apartment life is good compared to villas. First thing safety. corridors, lifts share chesune neighbors untaru, living in a community feeling. Celebrations like new year, Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, etc, @csrcsr bro annattu, you'll have amenities, like jogging track, clubhouse/gym, kontha mandi janala tho kalisi walking, jogging is better than isolated life in villa community. Critical situations lo help cheyyadaniki, suggestions ivvadaniki neighbours untaru, in case evanna contacts kavali, influence kavali ante. 

Investment ku ayithe plot in gated community. But US nundi for good velladaniki reason kuda ikkada isolated life ani kada. Malli India lo velli villa lo em untam. In adverse cases like apartment life or manam untunna apartment lo issues unte, simply you can construct house in that plot, Duplex with 3 bedrooms. Land antha appreciate avvadu apartments, but sale avthadi anytime in hyderabad at decent price appreciation.   

So, city living ku apartment better, transportation, community living, amenities etc, Villas ayithe better to arrange in home town, once kids job join ayyaka okate sari village/hometown lo villas lo undi, farming cheskovadam

Buy land, build a wall and some sheds. Rent them to poor farmkng families or auto rickshaw families  who come to the cities to educate  their kids ..send them to degree colleges etc

Risky idea anna, naaku thelisina oka NRI uncle dhebba thinnadu. Madhapur lo image hospital side plot konnadu 2000s lo. Compound wall kuda kattadu after 10 years. Relative idea isthe shed ku spend chesi welding vallaku rent ku ichadu. Cut chesthe after 10 years valla land maadi, memu 20 years back konnam ani papers thecharu.  But that days are gone, ippudu anni digitalize avthunnayi immediately after registration, aadhar based registrations, regular ec check untadhi. But still nuvvu cheppinattu, shed esi poor families or auto rickshaw families ki ivvali ante gated communities lo vallu undaleru, pakka plot vallu, association group objection cheptharu. Shed esi rent ivvali ante only independent open plot konali. Open plot is again risky, old layouts untayi, evadanna easy ga papers create chesi, litigations create chesi settlement lo sagam dobbestharu. Better buy in reputed builder layouts like Aparna, JB or other builders near ORR and just leave the plot, safe gane untadhi, 10, 20 years ayina evvadu touch cheyadu. Plot size kuda 250 to 350 yards better. Evvadi kannu padadhu, dobbesi standalone apartments kadadham ani

Litigations chala taggipoinayi kaka caselu…ipudu mostly family and inheritances cases ae ekuva vunayi. Kabzalu cheyadam or titles create cheyadam lanti fraudulent methods chala taggipoinayi. Konetapudu koncham jagratha ga konte we can hold that land for ever.

Only west lo somewhat streamlined undi premium price valla. East, south and north side still chala GP layouts unnayi, avi konchem chuskuni konale.

Villas vs Flats(high rise)

Depends on what the idea is all about. Growing up kids vunte apartments with common amenties vunte chala better. Gated communities, high rise apartments and flats ki most preferred reason right now schools and kids, social activities. Ae high rise buikding vellina evening ayevaraku poragallu antha play ground lo ne vuntaru…

If its for investment sake, mid sizes plot in ventures if not gated, can get you the best apprised value. 150-220 yards plots in limited plots ventures are more secure and tend to sell much quicker.
 

Eg: A 150 sq yards plot in a sub-urban location non gated colony where the housing activity just started can get you the highest appraised value than a 400 yards plot in a gated community.

Water availability : India is a country where we can get anything for money. High rises and apartments andaru iyalrwpu water board nundi commercial connections teesukuntubaru which ensures steady supply of water. Minimimal ga aithe drinking and washing, all other purposes ki high rises la aithe recycled water ae…Which will be anorm going foreard.

Coming to water availability, Hyd has invested good money in securing water resources and we shouldn't be seeing water scarcity unless its continuous draught years. 
 

20 years back we had severe water shortage. Popuplation and requirement has doubled and we now have steady availability of water and next 50 years la kuda ilane vuntadi.
