Q:
I need to commute everyday from Vennala to Kalamassery but I've heard about the pitiful road condition in the area. What have the municipal authorities done about the civic issues in Vennala?
Latest Answer: Oddly enough, the issue of the road is on disputed grounds. The Palachuvadu end of the road comes under the Thrikkakara Municipality and the Vennala end comes under the civic authorities. But both sides are not willing to do anything about this issue. How convenient. The road has been known to actually damage engines and motorists are quite pissed off with with the repair bills. But it seems a proposal worth Rs. 2.72 crore for the maintenance of the road has been forwarded for administrative sanction by the MLA. Hopefully the government will wake up from its slumber and take the initiative to fix such issues.

Q:
Hey why did the Kalamassery Municipality ban metro work in the locality? Will this affect real estate in the area?
Latest Answer: I really like Kalamassery! This place has got great infrastructure, growth potential and something about it that makes it very homely. It's also got the Edapally waste disposal site which I'm not really boasting about but at least the waste is disposed somewhere! Finally there's a way to treat non biodegradable waste in this dumping ground. And don't worry about the metro rail project affecting the real estate negatively. This area has a lot of scope for appreciation rise and that's precisely what's going to happen :)

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?
Latest Answer: 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.
