Q:
What is the rate of VAT and Service Tax on sale of flat in Karnataka
My replies to this discussion
I think the service tax is around 12.36 percent. in case the property is under construction, the effective rate works out to 3.09 per cent of the value of property. This is due to the fact that service tax is not applicable on the entire purchase price.I think the service tax is around 12.36 percent. in case the property is under construction, the effective rate works out to 3.09 per cent of the value of property.

Q:
Have the authorities cleared up the garbage in Tripunithura?
My replies to this discussion
If you want to move into the Tripunithura area, you must know that there is a waste disposal problem. Residents are throwing waste into open grounds because the Tripunithura Municipality do not pick up the garbage. Some apartments in the area have waste management agencies, but others throw the waste on the road and in empty plots. The municipality have said that they would try to solve the issue quickly. They have also allocated 75 lakhs for waste management.If you want to move into the Tripunithura area, you must know that there is a waste disposal problem.

Q:
Hey I am interested in Tata Tritvam apartments in Kochi, can someone give me some good information on it? I’m thinking of buying a 4BHK, I will have to take out a sizeable loan out, but I think it would be worth it. What’s the word on it?
My replies to this discussion
Hey there, Tata Tritvam apartments are among the costliest apartments in Kochi, but I have to say it has everything going for it. Its in the Marine Drive area, so that alone shoots up the price. But you are not paying for the locality, you are paying for the luxury to overlook the Arabian sea from your windows and balconies. 4BHK is 10700 rupees per square foot, so with the apartment size ranging from 2918 to 3461 square feet, it will cost you somewhere between 3.12 crores in Indian currency to 3.70 crores. If you wouldn’t mind getting a 3BHK then you could get away by paying 1.47 crores. They also have a 6BHK option costing 4.63 crore.Hey there, Tata Tritvam apartments are among the costliest apartments in Kochi, but I have to say it has everything going for it.

Q:
Are the Kochi Corporation still going to undertake the renovation of the markets like they said last year?
My replies to this discussion
I think they will be renovating a few markets, but we don't know when they will be doing at as they haven't given any update so far. Last year the Kochi Corporation proposed to renovate markets like Pattalam, Koovappadam, Amaravathi, and Thoppumpady under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). The Ernakulam market and the Broadway project were also proposed to be renovated. The authorities have proposed to renovate the structures of these age-old markets, which includes the renovation of the fish and mutton market buildings in a few of these markets. The Kochi Corporation plans to spend Rs. 32.68 crore to renovate all these markets.I think they will be renovating a few markets, but we don't know when they will be doing at as they haven't given any update so far.

Q:
Hey guys, my wife really wants to relocate to Kochi since it is her hometown, but I am hesitant because of the alarming crime rate and a number of child abduction cases. We have a five year old, and I don’t feel safe raising my child in such an environment. Can anyone offer any advice on this?
My replies to this discussion
Hey don’t be alarmed just yet. Yes, the crime rate is a factor to be concerned, but as far as the missing children reports go, most of them are runaways. Abduction cases are actually very few, and police security is also being tightened during the peak hours and at night, when most of these crimes happen. However, these crimes can be easily avoided if you just take some precautions and be aware. A large extent of these mishaps occur due to carelessness and neglect. So as long as you are a bit careful, I don’t think you’ll have much to worry about.Hey don’t be alarmed just yet.

Q:
Hello. I am new to the real estate sector. Am planning to make my first investment sometime this year. One of my prospective investments: apartment in Shwas Alpine Homes, Kochi. Any inputs people?
My replies to this discussion
It is important to know the exact property prices of a place you’re going to invest in, along with the property market rates for the locality where that property is situated in. In this case, the price per square feet for a flat in Shwas Alpine Hones comes up to Rs. 3,500. This is slightly higher than the average market rates in Aluva, which keeps fluctuating between Rs. 3,000 and Rs. 3,200. By the way, you can only get 1 BHKs in Shwas Alpine Homes. Each of these 1 BHKs occupies a space of 500 square feet. So, the price for a 1 BHK unit in this residential project will roughly end up costing you around 17 and a half lakh rupees.It is important to know the exact property prices of a place you’re going to invest in, along with the property market rates for the locality where that property is situated in.

Q:
I have decided to move to Kochi for a certain duration of time. I intend to stay at a premium residence in an upscale locality. The people in my company have recommended Edappaly. I need more inputs to make a decision.
My replies to this discussion
You surely can get a premium residence in an upscale neighbourhood if Edappally is your choice. This locality has gained much prominence in recent times, and is in close proximity to both the industrial and IT hubs of Kochi. The property prices in this area are of course relatively higher than other surrounding localities. Residential apartments are available along with independent houses in Edappally. I don’t know if you want to buy or rent a place. But I can tell that the price per square feet is usually anywhere between Rs. 3,000 and Rs. 4,500 for buying a flat. The rental prices, on the other hand, come up to around Rs. 10 to Rs. 15 per square feet of space. A typical 3 BHK in Edappally will cost you around Rs. 20,000 per month to rent it out.You surely can get a premium residence in an upscale neighbourhood if Edappally is your choice.

Hello all. I have been looking through good real estate developments in Aluva, Kochi and came across this project called Nest The World. Does anyone have any information about the residential project in terms of pricing, amenities and other details?
My replies to this discussion
A very promising project, Nest The World implements the integrated townships concept. It has been stylishly named as The World because the townships are expected to consist of apartments as well as villas. This means that you will be presented with an assortment of tastefully designed homes when you intend to buy a place here. Investing in Nest The World is a great idea because the luxury homes are priced at Rs.10 Lacs and up. The villas differ in their style too, from Mediterranean to English to contemporary to even traditional Kerala style Nalukettu villas.A very promising project, Nest The World implements the integrated townships concept.

But even though rent in other places in Kochi like Chottanikkara, Panangad and Vaduthala, is cheaper, only few people are interested. And many people are thinking that the rent was artificially created by real estate brokers but that is definitely not true. People prefer to be closer to main roads, in places with good infrastructures. So demand for property there is always high but supply is low. Definitely prices will increase then But people are little biased towards government employees and professionals because they easily find apartments more than these politicians and actors. :D Now all people want swimming pool and club house in their apartment complex.

Q:
I read online that Aroor had problems last year with their water supply? How has it affected the real estate in the area?
My replies to this discussion
This water pipe burst happened in the end of August last year. It gave everybody quite a big headahce. The Kerela Water Authorities had stated that they had checked the Aluva pipes for any leakage but they found none. Yet in some places the pipes did burst and Aroor was one of them. Other localities had it worse though because atleast in Aroor immediate temporary work could be done. The KWA replaced the 3 to 4 inch gap in the Aroor - Kumbalam pipes with clamps. They plan on replacing that with a 30 inch metal plate eventually. Hopefully Aroor won't face more water shortage problems! This water pipe burst happened in the end of August last year.

Q:
I've been reading a lot of articles that say that Perumbavoor has many civic issues. Is Perumbavoor an unsafe locality? And how developed is the locality?
My replies to this discussion
About 2 years ago, the Perumbavoor Municipality started the cleanliness and sanitation drive where residents and many other volunteers cleaned the streets and drains of the entire locality. This brought recognition to the health campain, the prevention of the spread of communicable diseases, cleanliness campaign and the safety campaign. This was to bring down the civic issues that the locality was facing. Needless to say, it was a job well done! Since then Perumbavoor has ben facing some problems like insufficient water supply but almost all places in kochi face this problem.

Hey when is the second phase of the RAPDRP starting? Anybody has any more info on that? I’m a homebuyer, I need to know about the electricity situation in Kochi.
My replies to this discussion
Yeah from what I’ve heard the second phase of this project is scheduled to start off pretty soon. This will be a huge help you know, because once completed we will be saving a lot of power. The authorities are claiming that there will be no more electricity loss during supply, which means that more electricity for the residents of Kochi, and less powercuts! Hope that happens. This whole project is being funded by the Central government, and the total budget is almost Rs 244 crores.Yeah from what I’ve heard the second phase of this project is scheduled to start off pretty soon.

Q:
I hear that there have been a number of cases of building rules violations in Kochi lately. What do you guys know about this? Care to shed some light?
My replies to this discussion
Yes he’s right. This matter initially came to the attention of the authorities after they received a number of complaints about buildings in those localities which were violating all kinds of building rules. They were tipped off that the buildings were issued permits without even proper inspections done. On further investigation they discovered that many of those buildings have exceeding the floor limit and the area per floor limit. As a result the parking spaces were created a lot smaller than they were in the building plans. In some cases, there were no parking spaces at all.Yes he’s right.

Q:
Hey I'm moving to Thrikkakkara next month and was wondering what is being done about the waste problem in this area? Is there a project being undertaken by the Thrikkakkara municipality to clean up this locality?
My replies to this discussion
Thrikkakara is a rapidly growing locality having Infopark, special economic zone, various central government offices and the Ernakulam district collectorate. These commercial spaces are bound to generate large amounts of waste and so far the municipality has not known what to do with the situation. But now, they have launched a project which wll enable Thrikkakara to get a 'clean municipality' status. The project is said to collect waste from 20,000 households, commercial establishments and offices and 2 bins ; one for plastic and one for bio waste will be provided. This is a really big deal for Kochi and it's great that they are practicing this sytem. This will also educate the peple about the importance of segregating waste.

Q:
I'll need to travel everyday in Vytilla as my work is elsewhere. Apparently the roads are not good and lot of traffic is there. Has the issue been addressed or still it is like that?
My replies to this discussion
Yeah the road has known to have caused a lot of problems in the past for commuters because it is so narrow. Now the Vytilla - Petta road is going to be widened sometime soon. They still need to get land aquisition and all that but administrative department has already agreed to the project. The 15 metre road is being widened to 26 m and 7.5 metres wide on either side. Median is to be 4 metres and footpaths on either side 1.5 metres. Sounds all very nice but I don't get why the project is still on paper and hasn't been executed yet.Yeah the road has known to have caused a lot of problems in the past for commuters because it is so narrow.

Q:
I thought that the thevara road was badly in need of a road widening project but now that it might be shelved, won't the real estate potential of the locality also come down?
My replies to this discussion
Apparently the reason for them giving up the project was because of the presence of a number of multi storey buildings that came in the way of the road widening project. The chairman of GCDA has already stated that they can't possibly go around demolishing these buildings so that's why they can't take up the project. But I remember the authorities did retake the project of works on Chilavanoor Bund Road 25 years later after it was initated. So hopefully the authorities will take up similar delayed projects.

Q:
I heard that the Kerela Roads and Bridges Corporation are planning on a Palarivattom road widening project? Will this help ease traffic in this area? Anyone who know please tell me because I am moving there soon. Thanks!
My replies to this discussion
I don't really know about the project but I know that the corporation had major plans for road diversions because of the traffic congestion that is there in many roads. Buses are now diverted through inroads so that the Palarivattom Kaloor stretch can be eased from heavy traffic flow. There was literally no space for buses to move and because of this they had to be diverted to Thammanam-Pulleppady road. Buses had no space because of the ongoing metro rail project in the area. And now drain pipes in the stretch from kaloor stadium to Palarivattom are to be removed for the metro rail project.I don't really know about the project but I know that the corporation had major plans for road diversions because of the traffic congestion that is there in many roads.

Q:
In terms of infrastructural development, can anyone tell me whether investing in Kochi would be a good idea?
My replies to this discussion
It may seem as though other cities like Bombay, Bangalore, Chennai and Delhi have booming real estate and that Kochi is a little slow on that front. But there's a lot of promise for Kochi in the near future. There are a number of new projects where work has already begun. For example the Kochi metro. It's going to be 25 km long and link all the important parts of the city such as Companypady, Ambattukavu, Kalamassery, Edapally, Palarivatom, Ernakulam South, Elamkulam and so on. This public transport facility has already attracted many investors and property prices have risen in those areas. And then ofcourse, Smart City! A huge business centre that is to open in 2015 and by 2020 it would generate about 90,000 jobs. This not only increases housing demand but also a well defined rental market!It may seem as though other cities like Bombay, Bangalore, Chennai and Delhi have booming real estate and that Kochi is a little slow on that front.

Q:
What exactly is the current news on the water supply scheme in Eloor, Kochi? Will it affect the real estate trends in the area?
My replies to this discussion
All is not lost! FACT has said that they would continue water supply scheme in Eloor for one more year. Jan 15 was when this project had to stop to allow Kerela Water Authority to take over but because the other companies had limited funds, the water supply had stopped. But FACT had to continue the water supply under all circumstances. So KWA would have to use the water being pumped from Kalamassery under the Kochi water supply scheme exclusively for Eloor after this period is over. Right now the water from Kalamassery is being split between Eloor and Varapuzha and both regions don't have adequate drinking water. I don't think the area seems promising for real estate investment at least not right now. All is not lost! FACT has said that they would continue water supply scheme in Eloor for one more year.

Q:
Hello I am moving to Mattancherry and what to know the current update on the bridge toll fee. How come the GCDA decided to revoke the toll amount?
My replies to this discussion
Yeah the builder firm had actually collected a total of 43.93 crores for these past 13 years as toll fee. Motorists and car drivers protested against this toll because in 2001 Gammon ltd was asking for a multiple toll fee that they would have to pay everytime they passed the toll booth. But some cars had to take multiple trips a day, so they had a huge problem with paying that amount as it adds to their operational expense. The UDF government actually wanted to extend this toll collection for 6 years more but then thankgod the LDF government decided that toll would end as per the agreement. This is very good news as now we don't have to pay toll ever again on Mattancherry bridge. Yeah the builder firm had actually collected a total of 43.93 crores for these past 13 years as toll fee.

Q:
Hey guys, I'm new to Kochi and I've been trying to decide a neighbourhood for me to live in. Can someone give me a detailed review of Kadavanthra? Also, what are apartment prices like here?
My replies to this discussion
Hey, I agree with them. Kadavanthra is one of the most rapidly growing areas in Kochi city. If you want to invest in an apartment here, no would be the right time as the prices will just keep shooting up. Currently, you can acquire a 3 BHK apartment for around Rs. 48 - 50 lakhs which is not hefty when you look at the current market prices. Kadavanthra is youthful and lively, but not chaotic. Kadavanthra is home ground to many of the Kochi's official buildings, prestigious schools and colleges, hospitals and also, the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium (RSC). South Railway Station is the closest, just 2 km away. Autos and buses are available all the time from the various auto/bus stands in the area. All other facilities like ATMs, banks, restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, supermarkets are all in the vicinity. There is also a post office just one kilometre away.Hey, I agree with them.

Q:
Hi. I'm a UK based entrepreneur, I'm going to wind up my business here and return to my hometown Kochi. I want to stay in Vaduthala, would you suggest I buy a flat or buy a plot and construct a house?
My replies to this discussion
The price range for apartments in Vaduthala lies between Rs. 30 lakhs - Rs. 1 crore (and above). The land prices fall in the range of Rs. 6 - 7 lakhs per cent. Now if you are looking at immediate occupancy, security and amenities, it is advisable that you buy an apartment as opposed to buying land and building a house. That would workout better for you. There are a number of residential villas you can check up as well, which has a price range similar to that of apartments.

Though not exactly the heart of the city, it remains connected to all main areas like Edapally, Palarivattom, MG Road etc. It is not hard to find bus/railway stations here. And if you have kids, Vaduthala has one of the best schools in town - Chinmaya Vidyalaya. Also, the famous Lourdes Hospital is in Vaduthala. There are supermarkets, ATMs, banks and petrol stations in the vicinity for convenience sake. Vaduthala has already established residential projects which includes villas and apartments, you can buy or rent out, depending on your needs/budget.

I believe that its a number of other factors as well. One of them important ones is the failure of the development in the city that was promised a few years back.

Q:
What is the status of that natural gas pipeline from Kochi? Buying a home in Kochi soon, I want to know if I'll get natural gas supply to my house
My replies to this discussion
All this is well, but haven’t you guys heard the latest union budget? Frankly speaking it doesn’t look too good for Kochi and especially for this natural gas pipeline that they are laying down all over the state. It barely touched upon the major issues like unavailability of regular domestic gas and fluctuating gas prices.All this is well, but haven’t you guys heard the latest union budget?

I think that was part of the problem. The high sale price along with a 12% service charge, and other taxes, registration and all that, was the reason why the public wasn’t showing interest in these properties.

The property is a villa in Puthenkurish, Tripunithura and they are asking Rs.4200/sqft. Is it a reasonable price?
Is that place good to live in or invest on a property like this? Since, we are not planning for immediate settlement there, I have this query, are there chances of prices of villas coming down in near future? Kindly advice!
Are there any other reputable builders who are more recommended than this. If so, list out plz! TIA.
