Q:
I’m thinking about buying a second home near the Kochi Infopark. Will it be a good decision?
My replies to this discussion
Hey, I think the area surrounding the Kochi Infopark is very good for a second home investment. You can look into the pre-existing projects along with the upcoming residential projects in this area.
Most of the projects in this area come pre-approved from the major banks. So getting a home loan should be easy, as long as you have a decent credit score.
You should check out the locality of Kakkanad, as it has the maximum number of pre-existing and upcoming projects in Kochi, and is also the best residential area in the city.Hey, I think the area surrounding the Kochi Infopark is very good for a second home investment.

How is the locality Vytilla for buying a residential house?

Yeah I agree. Vytilla is the best area for having a residential property in Kochi. The new Mobility Hub will be a big help if you have to commute daily to different parts of the city. In addition to that, you will be able to meet the necessities of every member of your family. There are hospitals like Lakeshore and Welcare that can be easily accessed from the mobility hub.Yeah I agree. Vytilla is the best area for having a residential property in Kochi.

Q:
How is the water situation in Fort Kochi?
My replies to this discussion
The water situation is not that good in Fort Kochi. Residents of Fort Kochi have been facing water crisis, on and off for a year now. People have sometimes not had water for 10 days, and although they have complained to officials, there is no response to the complaints. Even the local councillor does not have any idea of what is happening, and when they will get water.The water situation is not that good in Fort Kochi.

Hey, it will take you around Rs 45 to 60 Lakhs to buy an apartment in Purva Eternity, located in Kakkanad. These apartments are developed by the well-known real estate group Purvankara Projects Ltd.

Q:
How much is the property tax in Kochi?
My replies to this discussion
The Kerala government adopted a new tax system in 2013 and it was its first tax revision in twenty years. In this system, you have to pay property tax based on the flooring, roofing, and the road connectivity. For example, if your house is in a road with width between 1.5m and 5m you will have to pay 10% extra. The new tax system is also divided into primary, secondary and tertiary sections. If your house is in a secondary area you will get a 10% tax concession, and 20% tax concession if it is in a tertiary areaThe Kerala government adopted a new tax system in 2013 and it was its first tax revision in twenty years.

Q:
Hey can someone give me some information about the Olive Kalista Astra that is being built in Edachira Junction? I currently live in Kochi, I’ll be going there to check out the place for myself, but I just couldn’t find the time yet. If you know about these apartments then help get a better picture. Firstly, is it already built or is it still under construction? I passed it by a few months ago and I think it was under construction. Next, whats good about it? Like facilities, please enlighten me. And if I am not mistaken the price for an apartment is 60 lacs right?
My replies to this discussion
Yeah the pricing is 55.26 lacs for a 2BHK and 71.06 lacs for a 3BHK. And there are some special features, the developers boast the cross ventilation in the apartments and also fire safety systems. Apparently they have fire hose hydrants and fire extinguishers on every floor, and when they did the electrical wiring of the building they made it fire resistant. Another feature is they have glass wash basins in the dining rooms.Yeah the pricing is 55.26 lacs for a 2BHK and 71.06 lacs for a 3BHK.

Q:
Hey I am an NRI, I’m moving back to India for work, and so far I am planning to shift entirely. The destination is Kochi, I’ve been checking out the Dewapier20 apartments at Marine Drive. They are a little on the pricier side, but look amazing, is there anything I should know about these apartments?
My replies to this discussion
Hey welcome back to India, a good choice, it’s one of the best options in Kochi. Very elegant, classy, and smart. Except for backwaters and privacy, the apartments are also designed to get sunlight everyday. Safety wise, the Dewapier20 is solid, you get 24/7 CCTV and in the case of a fire you have helicopters on standby. The car parks have smoke and heat detectors linked with automatic water sprinklers. They have their own sewage treatment plant, so you don’t have to worry about polluting backwaters.Hey welcome back to India, a good choice, it’s one of the best options in Kochi.

It is a nice place for sure. But yeah, I'm afraid that there is some water problems here. Residents have been depending on water tankers for some time now. And the worst thing is that the prices for those have been going up every year. It is a nice place for sure. But yeah, I'm afraid that there is some water problems here.

Q:
There is a lot of traffic because of the Metro construction in Kochi. Are the metro authorities doing anything about this?
My replies to this discussion
The Metro officials are doing something to ease traffic, but maybe it is not helping. Because of Metro works, many roads have been damaged, which are being repaired. The GCDA has proposed to widen and tar STP Road, and also the Chilavanoor Bund Road. There is traffic jam almost every day near the KSRTC depot, A L Jacob railway overbridge, and Kathrikkadavu junction. The Paradise road which is being built to reduce traffic, is taking a long time to construct. Recently CPI(M) party workers protested against the slow progress of the widening and tarring of roads near Metro sites. This will hopefully help in the Corporation and Kochi Metro Rail Limited taking some action, and reduce traffic congestion in many areas of the city.The Metro officials are doing something to ease traffic, but maybe it is not helping.

Hi, I am returning to Kochi from USA and would like to buy a house there as it is my native. I am particularly interested in this project Regal Opulence. Can you tell me about it?
My replies to this discussion
Hello. First of all, Regal Opulence is a luxurious project. But considering that you’re coming from USA, I think it won’t be a big issue for you. They mainly have 3 BHKs and 4 BHKs. The price per square foot is rupees 3800. Like I said, it is a luxurious project. So, it has various amenities like swimming pool, club house, 24 hours power backup, play area, garden, and more. But the thing is, if you’re looking for an immediate buy, you can’t, as it is expected to get completed only in March 2015.Hello. First of all, Regal Opulence is a luxurious project.

My replies to this discussion
Hey, adding to what Rajneesh said, the waste management plant at Nettoor vegetable market, which was converting biodegradable wastes into manure, has also become bad. The main factor that affected these plants is over loading. Not any effective actions are taken to fix this issue, as well. There are various political factors and feuds involved in it, making the problem sustain as opposed fixing it.Hey, adding to what Rajneesh said, the waste management plant at Nettoor vegetable market, which was converting biodegradable wastes into manure, has also become bad.

Q:
Have the Asten Mather group given a possession date for the Campus Court project in Kochi? How good is the project?
My replies to this discussion
Yes, even I feel the same as Rajagopal. You can choose either the 2BHK apartments or the 3BHK apartments in this project. The 2BHK comes with a study, and is 1572 sqft, and the 3BHK is 1760 sqft. The price per sqft in this apartment is Rs. 3800, so the 2BHK will be around Rs. 60 lakhs, and the 3BHK are Rs. 67 lakhs. The price is justified by the number of amenities like swimming pool, basketball court, play area, guest room, library, gym, pool table, and so many other amenities. The project is designed as per Vaastu, and there will be a shopping complex, food court, multiplex, and also a hotel in the project premises.Yes, even I feel the same as Rajagopal.

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
Yeah that is true but I wouldn’t be so casual about it. Kochi actually reported an increase of 193% in crime rates in recent times. That being said, the police force is also taking extreme measures to contain crimes in this area, and I have personally seen a significant increase in police patrols in the past few months. About half these petty crimes take place in tourist spots, like Fort Kochi. If you do move here, you will have to practice caution, but It isn’t so bad that you have to lose your head about it.Yeah that is true but I wouldn’t be so casual about it.

Q:
Hello, I would like to know about the rental rates for a 3 BHK in Edapally. I will be moving there with my parents soon, so I would prefer a larger space. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
My replies to this discussion
Hi, first of all, Edapally is a good choice. It is one of the quickest growing areas in Kochi, and the rental rates are only going to keep increasing. Typically, for a 3 BHK you would have to shell out around fifteen to twenty thousand a month, depending on how big the apartment is. In fact, I recently shifted to Edapally myself, from Calicut. Even I live in a 3BHK, with an area of 1550 sq. ft., and I am currently paying 17,500 rupees per month, and the flat was semi-furnished when I moved in. So I would imagine that it will cost you around 15,000 rupees for an apartment of 1200 sq. ft., so there you go. Hope you find a good one.Hi, first of all, Edapally is a good choice.

Edapally can be quite a breeze if one is able to afford it, and since you seem like a person who can, I’ll tell you all that I know about the place. This place has a rich history actually. Kings used to rule Edappally back in the day, and a Brahmin priest became the founder of the Edappally dynasty. The St. George’s Church in Edappally is a famous religious place of worship located in Edappally. When it comes to people, some of the most prominent individuals in Kerala have decided to make this locality their own.

This project by Puravankara Projects ltd named Purva Grandbay is an excellent choice to pick aqs a home as it has plenty to offer in terms of amenities.

Q:
So I recently read in the news that the Kochi Metro Rail will do wonders for Tripunithra's real estate. What's the locality like in terms of its civic problems and property potential?
My replies to this discussion
Some members of the royal family still stay in Tripunithra! So apart from just being a fast developing locality, this place is also a major tourist sttraction in Kochi. Some parts of the royal family house has even been converted into a museum. Now this isn't the best real estate locality with the greatest potential in Kochi. But you do get affordable houses and rent is much cheaper here than in places like MG road and Marine Drive. In fact, it actually seems like the better option because it's got great connectivity and infrastructure facilities. It seems to be turning into a prominent location for residential homes because there are tons of vacant plots here that many people are interested in.

Q:
Hey why did the Kalamassery Municipality ban metro work in the locality? Will this affect real estate in the area?
My replies to this discussion
Hey it's interesting to note that the metro rail work was disrupted again in May. This time because the transported materials couldn't reach the metro construction sites. The Public Works Department seemed more hell bent on completing the Kalamassery-Manalimukku road concreting project that this hindered traffic such that the metro rail work was delayed and put on held. I think the civic authorities should make sure simultaneous development happens or they should focus on one project at a time. These sort of things are very inconvenient for everybody!Hey it's interesting to note that the metro rail work was disrupted again in May.

Q:
Are the authorities at all concerned about these open wells in Kakkanad? Is something being done about them or what? I’m sick of these unhygienic surroundings here.
My replies to this discussion
Yes, as far as I know the authorities are not showing any initiative about dealing with this hazard. There are about 10 of these wells just in Kakkanad only, and even more in other parts of Kochi. What is happening is that the dirty water is seeping through and contaminating the underwater water supply. A lot of people here in Kakkanad depend on underground borewells, this contamination is taking a toll on the overall health of the residents of Kakkanad.Yes, as far as I know the authorities are not showing any initiative about dealing with this hazard.

Q:
Guys I recently heard about something that made me really happy. The startup village, has anyone heard about it? It seems a good prospect for real estate. Should I invest in property close to this place?
My replies to this discussion
The startup village already supports around 679 startups, of which a major portion is student ventures. This trend of young entrepreneurs is fast rising throughout the country, and Kochi has also contributed to this growth. Currently there are over 3175 more start-ups that have applied to set up their office here. So you can see how much more growth potential the whole project has. An additional 25,000 sq. ft of space has already been planned here, which means more new enterprises, more job opportunities and more people looking to buy or rent properties close by.The startup village already supports around 679 startups, of which a major portion is student ventures.

Q:
Hai I have to move to Vaduthala but I heard that the road is very narrow and many accidents are caused. Has the Kochi Municipal Corporation extended this road yet?
My replies to this discussion
The reason why this project is taking so long, is because as usual Kochi corporation doesn't have enough funds. They only have to pay for the land acquisition as the Vaduthala MLA has agreed to pay 5 lakhs for the project. But even then since they're in such a financial crunch, choking up 1 crore for the land acquisition and rehabilitaion will be difficult. So they're thinking about including this project as part of the Vaduthala railway Over Bridge project. I'm not sure what exactly they have in mind, but the mayor feels that since the 3 roads reaching Vaduthala enters into a bottleneck, shutting down the railway gate would result in traffic congestion making it difficult for commuters and pedestrians. :|The reason why this project is taking so long, is because as usual Kochi corporation doesn't have enough funds.

Q:
Hey I might be moving to Angamaly soon and I wanted to know about the tower 1 facility here. Has it really benefitted the locality to become a clean and green environment?
My replies to this discussion
Some companies in this campus are CML Biotec, Cochin School of Languages, Mallelil Polymers, Sajo Industries, and Lijan India. This is a really futurisitic project that aims at growth alongside development. We need more companies striving towards a sustainable environment. The campus has a space of 1 lakh square feet and it is possible to avail lease on an 85 year plan or even on monthly rentals too with 5000 sq.ft. The ultimate selling point of this tower facility are factors such as 24 hours water and power, connectivity, communication, material handling and parking. This tower is good and ready to occupy!Some companies in this campus are CML Biotec, Cochin School of Languages, Mallelil Polymers, Sajo Industries, and Lijan India.

The campus has a space of 1 lakh square feet and it is possible to avail lease on an 85 year plan or even on monthly rentals too with 5000 sq.ft. The ultimate selling point of this tower facility are factors such as 24 hours water and power, connectivity, communication, material handling and parking. This tower is good and ready to occupy!
Q:
Hello. I have heard that there is lot of garbage that hasn't been disposed of in North Paravur. I might be moving there soon so I want to know what the civic authorities are doing about this? Any info would help. Thank you!
My replies to this discussion
Atleast North Paravur has a private agency buying all the plastic waste at the cost of Rs 1 per kg. Soon there's also going to be a plastic shredding unit installed here just like the one in Thrikkakara installed by the municipality. Despite the North Paravur municipality being successful, still nothing is being done about the waste dumping. The waste dumping yard in the centre of the locality, the pile of PVC pipelines and 5 unused rickshaws are signs that show the carelessness of the waste disposal system in North Paravur. Among this, the poor quality PVC pipes were in the limelight as the attempt of launching household pipe composting techniques was a fail.

Q:
I might most probably be moving to Thevara but I want to know about the transportation facilities available here. Has the ferry resumed services again?
My replies to this discussion
The ferry boat is called Priyadarshini and was constructed at the cost of 12 lakh by the Maradu municipality. This fibre boat is going to start services once again once maintenance and repair work is over. The municipality chairman is quite cheesed off with one Joy George who had the responsibility of making the boat last time but did such a shooddy job that repair work had to constantly be done. Now the maintenance work is costing 1.63 lakh. There's a criminal case filed against this Mr George for using poor quality materials for making the boat.

Hey btw, as of now the construction prcess has stopped. Yeah, there was an unavailability of crushed stones and manufactured sand, which are essential for construction purpose. So the RBDCK stopped working. Even some land acquisition problems had delayed the process earlier, I dont know how they are going to keep up wtihin the 18 month deadline.

Q:
Hey will the Lulu Group investment in Kochi's L & T techpark be beneficial for property investors in Kakkanad?
My replies to this discussion
With any major investment especially one involving 350 crores, there are bound to be changes in the entire locality. Kakkanad is already quite well developed and now the plan will be to make it bigger and better worth lots more money. There are going to be new schools, hospitals, supermarkets and malls. There will be a check on the civic facilities in the area and a lot of repair work would be going on. This is only done because of the sudden increase in population but that usually happens wherever there are huge IT parks such as this. Investing here is a very good idea. It's a given that this is a prime location and property appreciation will definitely happen in the near future.

Q:
hey can somebody tell me what the scene is with the bypass project that was supposed to happen on Perumbavoor road? Will this new infrastructure project help reduce the traffic congestion that this locality faces?
My replies to this discussion
Also 73 acres of Travancore Rayons, that used to be pride of Perumbavoor needs to be utilised efficiently because right now, land use is improper. This is another problem that needs to be dealt with in this locality. Health and safety of the migrant workers who reside here is another aspect that the municipality needs to look into. This town also has the potential to turn into a tourist destination if the right works are carried out. Municipality chairman thinks Iringole Kavu and Naganchery Mana are ideal places for tourism and he's right, because these are beautiful places that should also be utilised.

Q:
I was thinking about buying property in Kalamassery but how well does the locality attract industrial sector to rent commercial spaces here? How good do you think my investment returns will be? Does the area have the potential to grow and develop further in the future?
My replies to this discussion
My cousin is actually staying in Kalamassery, in a 2bhk apartment. A 2bhk with square feet of 1000 to 1200 has a rent of 8k to 10k per month. My cousin doesn't face too many civic problems, and water supply is regular. Most of the commercial spaces are standalone developments but you also find quite a few office spaces on the last floor of buildings. But these offices don't have too many facilities so I think that' another reason why the demand for commercial space is lesser here as compared to other areas in Kochi. Rental values are rs 20 to 30 per month nd the rate for ground floor places is more expensive. Translated capital value rranges between Rs 2500 to 3500 /sqft.

There are developmental issues in Aluva because the locality is divided into three by Periyar river, National Highway and Railway line. Despite the municipality having enough land here, the major problem faced by us is the fund shortage.

Hey, firstly I hope you have checked out the distance between your college and your flat. If it is any more than 8 km then consider staying elsewhere as you definitely do not want to spend all your time traveling! Moving on, Kadavanthra is a chill locality to live in. It is exciting and there are many cafes and restobars where you and your friends can hangout. There are quite a few (affordable) restaurants which serve different cuisines where you can dine. Traveling within the city will not be an issue as there many bus stands here, and even rickshaw drivers do not overcharge you. ATMs, hospitals, parlours and parks are all in the vicinity.Hey, firstly I hope you have checked out the distance between your college and your flat.

Hey. Kadavanthra is one of the city's most upbeat areas. There are residential areas here and it will be convenient for your parents to live in as there are many well known hospitals located in Kadavanthra. An add-on if they are religious, there are quite a few places of worship in the area as well. They do not have to go too far for ATMs, banks, supermarkets, restaurants, post offices etc. If they want to go for a jog in the morning, they can do so in the neighbouring parks. Public transport is easily available from the various auto/bus stands. However, I should tell you that I have recently heard of burglaries in Kadavanthra. If you're getting them an apartment, it should be fine considering there will be security 24*7. Just cross check and confirm before you make a final decision.Hey.

My replies to this discussion
See the fault doesnt lie with the locality. Aluva is a good place to live in, I think this was just an isolated incident of carelessness. As long as you make sure that the apartment you're going after has no such faulty construction, and everything has been done as per the rulebook, you have nothing to worry about.

Yes I heard about that too, that the mayor is now blaming CPI(M) for all this mess. According to them, obviously one person cannot be responsible for issuing the permit for such a big project. Obviously he was pressurised from above. And since the CPI(M) was in charge of the city’s civic administrations, all fingers are now pointed at them.

Q:
So I heard some interesting news that Kochi will get Rs. 624 crores to improve water transport. Who is the beneficiary? How will the project be developed?
My replies to this discussion
Precisely. The union government will run it through the Urban Development and Finance Ministries. Once tjay is completed I think a submission will be made to the German bank who will then again go through the details and approve the project. So basically this is a very lengthy process. Hoping to see this getting cleared soon.Precisely. The union government will run it through the Urban Development and Finance Ministries.

You know, the government has not suggested this officially. But there are strong indications repeatedly to follow the option of JV and find funds.
