I booked an aprtment in 2010, which i dont have the possession yet, but the inside work is so bad that i was really shocked . The tiles and the kitchen granites are chipped and have scratch mark all over, the grouts between the tiles is so dirty and cement is coming off the walls. We did complain aboout this but nothing is done yet. I am really disappoointed in this work becuase it seems like someone very unprofessional has done it and they did not pay any attention to it. Has any one experienced anything like this. They are already very bedhind in handing over the apartment and on the top such lousy work. Really disappointed in them.

Hey there, i have heard the same complaints a lot over the past few years. I think that the makers, who are quite famous otherwise, have really done a bad job this time around, for this particular project. The possession date, kept getting postponed, and that has really irked most of the buyers.Hey there, i have heard the same complaints a lot over the past few years.

Q:
I’m thinking about buying a second home near the Kochi Infopark. Will it be a good decision?
My replies to this discussion
I think it’s a good investment idea for a second home. You can let out this second home for rent. You will be able to find plenty of prospective tenants here, as this is the IT hub of the city. You will mostly get young IT professionals who work in any of the companies in the Infocity.
The Kochi Smartcity project is also being constructed nearby. Once completed and functional, the demand for property is bound to increase. I’d suggest that you buy the house before the Smart City project is completed, because property prices might increase once it is functional.I think it’s a good investment idea for a second home.

Q:
Between Aluva and Edapalli, which area is better suited to buy a 2BHK apartment?
My replies to this discussion
Yeah I agree with Rajneesh. If it is a healthy and clean locality that you are looking for, then definitely go with Aluva. On the other hand Edapalli is more industrial and is better connected with the main commercial areas of the city. So it would be better for people who want to buy property somewhere in the hub of the city. The presence of the Lulu Mall in Edapalli is also an advantage, as this is the largest shopping mall in Kerala.Yeah I agree with Rajneesh.

Hey, if you want to look at some beachfront properties then there are quite a few good options. You can check out the Dolphin Bay Project at Vallarpadam. It is being constructed by ABAD developers and will have prime beachfront residences.
Another interesting upcoming property that I came across was the Periyar Waterfront in Aluva. This project will have some interesting apartments.Hey, if you want to look at some beachfront properties then there are quite a few good options.

Q:
What is the stamp duty rate in Kochi?
My replies to this discussion
The current stamp duty in city limits is 7 per cent, 5 per cent in panchayats, and 6 per cent in municipal areas. The Kerala government are planning to fix a uniform tax rate at 6 per cent for the entire state. It is a tax imposed by the government on property transactions.
The stamp duty in Kochi has reduced from 13.5 to 9 per cent, and is currently at 7 per cent. The duty is to reduce to 6 per cent from April 1, 2014. Ensure you pay the stamp duty, because if you don't you'll have to pay a fine of 2 per cent every month or 200% of the stamp duty deficit amount.The current stamp duty in city limits is 7 per cent, 5 per cent in panchayats, and 6 per cent in municipal areas.

My replies to this discussion
You should go ahead and buy the property near Vytilla and you should buy it soon as the rates are rising.

Q:
How is the water situation in Fort Kochi?
My replies to this discussion
You should know that the Kerala Water Authority officials are incompetent of doing their jobs. They have constantly delayed in providing water to the public. The West Kochi area has faced a lot of water problems. In areas like Mackenzie Garden and Bishop Garden there is a lot of shortage of water. Not only residents, but also tourists who live in the Fort Kochi area are facing problems. The last time this area had water issues was because of a pump failure, which took many days to fix. The Kerala Water Authority has promised to provide water regularly, but we will have to wait and see if they keep their promises upYou should know that the Kerala Water Authority officials are incompetent of doing their jobs.

Q:
What are the apartments that are available in D D Diamond Valley project? How much will buying an apartment there cost me? Will it be a good investment choice?
My replies to this discussion
Hey, the Diamond Valley apartment in Kakkanad is a good investment choice according to me. I think the apartments available here are the regular 2BHKs and 3BHKs. The construction process is still going on, so I’m not too sure about the apartment costs, but I think it is between Rs 30 to 45 Lakhs.
This project is located at a prime location in Kakkanad, just 1km away from the Smart city and 3kms from the Seaport-Airport road. This project would definitely rise up in market value down the years, so buying a property here is definitely a good call, investment-wise.Hey, the Diamond Valley apartment in Kakkanad is a good investment choice according to me.

Q:
Have the authorities cleared up the garbage in Tripunithura?
My replies to this discussion
The Tripunithura Municipality has not removed the waste yet. Although they had promised residents that they would not dump waste in empty lands, the Tripunithura Municipality is still dumping plastic waste. This is making it hard for residents to live normally because of the air pollution from burning the rubbish and also the bad smell from the waste. The municipality is also not making use of the plastic waste shredding plant for disposing the waste.The Tripunithura Municipality has not removed the waste yet.

Hi, I was looking around a couple of housing options in the Kakkanad area of Kochi. I’ll be moving to Kochi for work beginning of next year, 2015. I particularly like the idea of getting myself a 3BHK apartment in the DLF New Town Heights apartments building. I know the pricing, it is 70 to 78 lacs. And since I am moving in with my family and children, I would like to know what kinds of facilities are available to me and my family. And also, can someone tell me which banks should I approach for getting a home loan for buying an apartment in this project.

I read that work has commenced on the Palarivattom flyover, but what's the progress of the Vyttila and Kundannoor flyovers?
My replies to this discussion
Yeah, the Vyttila and Kundannoor flyovers are only in the planning stage. But the government are promising to complete these two projects quickly. These two flyovers will also be 6 lane flyovers and they will be around 800 metres long. Both the flyovers will be very useful for both the areas, especially Vytilla, with the Metro also coming nearby. There are plans to build the Metro over the Vytilla flyover. But, the traffic which is already very high in these areas will increase because of the construction work on these flyovers. These flyovers will hopefully ease traffic in the city once they are built.Yeah, the Vyttila and Kundannoor flyovers are only in the planning stage.

My replies to this discussion
Hi, I absolutely agree with that. After a lot of complaints having been put forward, the government has taken this issue seriously.

All the major schools and other institutions are being targeted and soon they have promised to keep a lid on this outbreak. As far as the waterlogging is concerned, it is still a major issue in some areas like Mattancherry and Fort Kochi, but these issues are also being addressed by the local bodies and will soon be resolved.Hi, I absolutely agree with that.

Q:
I am planning to buy a property in Kochi and give it out for rent. Which areas would you suggest I invest in?
My replies to this discussion
If you want to give your apartment out for rent, you can expect different rates in different localities. A 2BHK house in Vytilla can be given for rent between Rs. 8000 and Rs. 10000, and for a 3BHK it can be between Rs. 12000 and 15000. You can buy an apartment for around Rs. 4000 per sq.ft. There is a lot of interest in this area because of the upcoming Vytilla mobility hub, and also because of the Metro which will come soon. Another locality which is seeing good growth is Tripunithura. Here a property will cost you around Rs. 3500 per sq. ft. You can rent out an apartment for anywhere between Rs. 7000 and Rs. 10000If you want to give your apartment out for rent, you can expect different rates in different localities.

Q:
What are the benefits that I expect from buying an apartment in Galaxy Pine Courts? Will it be a good choice for me as an IT professional?
My replies to this discussion
Galaxy Pine Courts are quite suitable for an IT professional actually. Kakkanad is known for its IT presence. I’m aware of some information regarding the present prices, so I help you out there. You can either get a 2 BHK that’s spread out over 725 sq ft, or a 3 BHK that is sized around 928 sq ft. The 2 BHK is priced close to Rs. 17 lakhs, while the 3 BHKs cost a little upward of Rs. 21 lakhs. The price per square feet comes up to Rs. 2200 approximately, which is actually quite reasonable for the locality.Galaxy Pine Courts are quite suitable for an IT professional actually.

Q:
Hey there all. I’m new to Kochi, and I have been struggling to find a neighbourhood for me to live in. What do you people think about Aluva? How are the facilities, connectivity, etc. in this area?
My replies to this discussion
Hey, see, there is a railway station in Aluva, It can take you to any place in Kochi. There are trains that can take you to nearby places in Kochi too. Moreover, in Aluva you can see that near to the railway station, there is a KSRTC transport stand which has inter district buses as well as kochi city buses running. The connectivity is a high point there.Hey, see, there is a railway station in Aluva, It can take you to any place in Kochi. There are trains that can take you to nearby places in Kochi too.

Q:
When I think of Kochi, I envision a calm, sprawling city that looks out over the ocean. And I want to keep it that way without spending much on a house. What do you think about Mattancherry in that regard?
My replies to this discussion
BTW, there is a toll bridge here in Mattancherry. But actually its not collecting toll at the moment. Actually the Mattancherry Build Operate and Transfer bridge project ended sometime in April and that's why toll collection for this bridge also stopped. Thats good because a pretty heavy toll was imposed on motorists for 13 years and 9 months, since when the project began in 2001.BTW, there is a toll bridge here in Mattancherry.

Q:
I’ve heard so much of the Vytilla Mobility Hub that’s being developed in Kochi. For this reason, I’m cogitating on whether I want to invest in surrounding real estate. What do you think about Elamkulam for this purpose?
My replies to this discussion
Elamkulam is a high profile locality in Kochi, that's what I would remark on this region. Its quite good for living. It is near to the Ernakulam junction railway station. The Kaloor Kadavanthra Road passes through this locality making the connectivity to the main parts of the city very easy.Elamkulam is a high profile locality in Kochi, that's what I would remark on this region.

Hey! The Vytilla Mobility Hub is definitely a game-change for Kochi, and especially so for the people living in surrounding localities. These areas have seen rapid development, and with the Mobility hub in the works, many real estate investments have also been made in such localities. After all, who doesn’t want to live close to an area where the bus, rail, metro, and inland water transport are all in one location? Elamkulam is merely a couple of kilometres away from Vytilla, and can be travelled to from Vytilla within 10 minutes by car. It’s actually a good place to make a long-term investment in.Hey!

Q:
So I might have to move to Aluva in Kochi but I know nothing about the place. What sort of facilitites are lacking in this locality? Is it a good place to invest?
My replies to this discussion
Hey Aluva has a lot of promise and potential! I used to visit my uncle there and kept thinking to myself that someday I would move there as well. It is one of the better developed parts of the city. It is in quite a good location because the Nambussadry airport is just 12 kms away and the railway station is in Aluva itself where a lot of trains stop. The locality is also blessed with a number of malls and entertainment centres! And it's also got beauty because this is the place where three tributaries of the Periyar river merge with the Pooyamkutty river. And I've heard that property there is affordable with a lot of scope for appreciation. Good choice! Hey Aluva has a lot of promise and potential!

Q:

My replies to this discussion
I think Edapally is a great place to live in. The good thing is, there actually have been a lot of improvements just between last year and now in Edapally. The roads have improved drastically as 12 of them have been freshly tarred including Vinayak Nagar road and Jawahar Nagar road. Even metalling and drainage system work has been fitted. Water logging that was severe in Ponnekere road has new drains. The new Edappally Raghavan Pillai Park is another great addition to the locality. And let's not forget the well lit roads with all the new streetlights. So this development has really helped Edapally grow as a locality :)I think Edapally is a great place to live in.

Q:
Hey anything new happening in the Vytilla metro station? I heard about a new girder. I want to know because I’ll be buying property there pretty soon. I wanna know if it will affect my investment in any way.
My replies to this discussion
Well what to tell you, the construction of a metro station close to your property will anyway affect the property prices. The rent as well as the cost of your apartment will go up, if you choose to sell it later. Otherwise, the thing that you mentioned, the new girder at the Vytilla metro station; yeah i’ve heard about it too. I think a lot of people would prefer Vytilla over other localities in Kochi, because of so many developmental projects here. Not just the metro station, but also the mobility hub.Well what to tell you, the construction of a metro station close to your property will anyway affect the property prices.

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
Well this unhygienic feature about Kochi has already come to the notice of the authorities long back, say 8 years ago. But I’m not aware of any steps being taken to counter this nuisance actually. This is a major problem, not just in Kakkanad, but also in other parts of Kochi. With the monsoons, the situation becomes even more hazardous. The water fills up, and its a breeding ground for diseases.Well this unhygienic feature about Kochi has already come to the notice of the authorities long back, say 8 years ago.

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
Yeah, I know. This building that you mentioned was actually built by filling in a lake, and so far the building plans of the complex failed to show any parking space allotment. There were other buildings also, a 4-storyed one in Aluva, and a 10 storyed one in Tripunithura. The former was built without any toilets, parking area or rainwater harvesting plans, and the latter was built just 4m away from the water front, whereas it should have been at least 100m away. Six commercial buildings in Thrikkakara were also flouting building rules.Yeah, I know.

My replies to this discussion
Yeah, you’ve heard right about Kalamassery. I myself feel that it is THE place in Kochi to be investing in real estate at the moment. Mainly because it has a number of technology development projects at sight. Obviously there is the popular start-up village, which is basically a part of the entire technology innovation zone being planned here in Kalamassery. The locality is soon going to be a major techno-hub of the city. I would definitely want to invest here.Yeah, you’ve heard right about Kalamassery.

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
The municipality is also charging the residents 100 bucks per month for the disposal of waste and for shops they're charging 2.50 per kg. This is a really good system of waste disposal as the authorities also plan on monitoring the public to make sure they don't keep littering. Surveillance cameras are to be places in important places like Info park. A huge penalty will be the fine if any company is caught polluting. Interesting enough this is one of the last projects under the JNNURM scheme. It should be a huge success and drive the problem of waste disposal far away from the streets of Kochi.The municipality is also charging the residents 100 bucks per month for the disposal of waste and for shops they're charging 2.50 per kg.

The commercial spaces in the tower 1 faility have almost been completely booked up and now price appreciation for property here has already increased. The entre locality will eventually also see many positive changes and if you're thinking about moving here, now's a great time! :)This tower 1 facility is located at the Transformers Electrical Kerala Limited at Angamaly.

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
There is a high demand to build a Vytilla underpass from all the residents and this is going to be undertaken pretty soon. The district administration has come up with a ‘portal-frame structure flyover’ which is what the flyover will look like. This requires no pillars in the middle of the portal as vehicles an go around. Vytilla junction is one of the busiest in the state and finally something is going to be done to abate the traffic now. The reason for this bottleneck is because of shoddy NHAI work for an underpass that does not even let 2 cars go through. It is that narrow. The project can be completed in 3 phases and should take off pretty soon. 2 small flyover each located 50 m away from the junction will help ease traffic. Temporary relief for right now has also been provided. There is ample space for this project and that's why even the cost for it is less, only 75 lakhs.

Q:
Hey so I heard that there is a lot of open dumping of waste that takes place in Brahmapuram? What have the civic authorities done about this civic issue? Please any info would help as I am moving there shortly.
My replies to this discussion
The Villapilsala plant had actually shut down 2 years ago, and that's why there was excessive dumping of waste in Brahmapuram which really angered the residents. The condition was extremely unhygienic. Especially if epidemics are going to break out. Kochi's standard of living will drastically fall. The corporation has been known to make many mistakes in the past when dealing with civic issues. They should not have burned a huge amount of plastic in the first place as this was what caused a fire and this is so dangerous for the residents welfare. This plant better come up soon. Don't let it stop you from moving there though! I have a feeling that the new plant will definitely fix the problem.

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
Gammon actually asked for a compensation of around 68 crore to stop the toll collection because they hadn't made their initial investment back or something. Or they wanted compensation from GCDA because they were taking over the upkeep of the bridge from Gammon company. But now GCDA has agreed to only give 31 crore in compensation, which gammon has had to settle for. This happened sometime around end of April. All auto drivers, motorists, bus drivers and the general public were invited to witness the stoppage of toll collection on this bridge. it was quite a big event that traffic had actually stopped for over an hour because of this!Gammon actually asked for a compensation of around 68 crore to stop the toll collection because they hadn't made their initial investment back or something.

Yeah this locality has lot of worth because it has a number of residential projects up and coming. These projects have been completed in residential pockets like irumpanam, Karangachira, FACT nagar, Kattakakom, Kunnakulangara, Mekara and Nadakavu. Some of the completed projects include Hill Palace Tower I, Daffodil gardens, Heera Royale and Apple a day properties. Most of the demand here is for 2 and 3 bhk apartments and that's what there is maximum supply of from builders. ANTA river valley is a prominent ongoing residential project that I think you should look into. Seems like a great place to invest.

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
What the municipality as tried to do in Perumbavoor has actually been a fail so far. The recent one way route did little or nothing to help regulate traffic and only 10% of the total houses in Perumbavoor were given the compost pipes and biogas plant. According to me, a medical college and a traffic signal are the immediate requirements of this town. A medical college would do wonders as property worth would go up as more people demand for property here, especially people from high range areas. The government better efficiently use those 73 acres of Travancore Rayons land and proper scientific land use patters must be instilled. If not, Perumbavoor will def not be considered as the best place for investment in Kochi. What the municipality as tried to do in Perumbavoor has actually been a fail so far.

Q:
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me out here. I want to know the prices and amenities provided in Mather Esperanza in Kakkanad because I want to move in with my family there. Thanks in advance.
My replies to this discussion
Hey there. Mather Esperanza is a nice place to stay in. It provides various amenities like club house, garden and a gym. Needless to say it also provides uninterrupted water and power supply. If this place suits your requirements then I suggest that you check this place out as soon as possible. The only problem I see here is that you want to move in with your family and Mather Esperanza offers only 1 BHK apartments. So if you check these apartments you can see for yourself if this apartment is apt for you or not. All the best.Hey there. Mather Esperanza is a nice place to stay in.

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
Hello there :) firstly, welcome to Kochi! I have lived here all my life and I can vouch for the development the city has seen over the past many years. Kadavanthra is a good choice of place to live in, as it is a main city area. Kadavanthra junction links 3 main roads of the city and hence is well connected to other major city areas like MG Road, Edapally and Palarivattom. There are a number of (completed and upcoming) apartment complexes here, and by current market prices a 3 BHK apartment would cost you around Rs. 45 - 60 lakhs, which is pretty decent. Kadavanthra is also home to many of the city's prominent schools and hospitals. Major offices (KSEB, GCDA) are situated here as well. Facilities like public transport, ATMs, banks, supermarkets, post office, restaurants etc are all in and around the area. Hello there :) firstly, welcome to Kochi!

Q:
Hi, I'm planning to buy my parents a flat, on occassion of their wedding anniversary and retirement. I wanted to know if Kadavanthara is a safe residential area for an elderly couple to live in? Please give me true information.
My replies to this discussion
Hello. I have lived in Kadavanthra for the last 5 years and I do agree with them, there have been burglars on the go for a while now, but take note that only independent houses have been broken into. Since you plan on getting your parents an apartment, I don't think there should be a reason to worry as security will be there at all times. Well known hospitals like the Indira Gandhi Co-op Hospital and Medical Trust are in the locality. Public transport - autos, buses, trains are available without much difficulty considering the nearest railway station is just 2 km away and auto/bus stands are there at almost every corner of the locality. You will also find banks, ATMs, supermarkets, post offices, parks, restaurants and places of worship in and around the area.Hello.

Q:
Hey guys, what do you know about the Metro City project? Is it under construction? Any idea of when it will be finished. I’m asking because I wanted to buy property in Kochi, so I’m considering these areas myself.
My replies to this discussion
Hey, its a good idea to invest in areas around the Metro City project. The Metro City is nothing but a huge commercial complex, which will consist of a number of shopping malls, multiplexes, theatres, restaurants and hotels. This project is being developed in Kakkanad, so I think that’s where you should consider investing. It is already a quite happening locality in Kochi. There are a number of upcoming projects in this locality, and you can look them up from the Commonfloor website itself.Hey, its a good idea to invest in areas around the Metro City project.

I feel that the Pettah Bridge is also adding to this traffic block. Because it is so narrow, it practically does nothing in sharing the traffic load and it just ends up trapping us all in this mess.

Yes, and if I remember correctly, It was supposed to be a 14X8-metre bridge, linking Gandhinagar with Ernakulam Junction railway station's eastern entry, and will replace the small culvert that existed over the canal here.

Q:
Hi We are planning to buy a plot for construction of house. This land was converted from agricultral land around 1995 (before the 2008 act).
I already own a house and my wife is planning to buy this plot and build a house through mortgage. I came to know that wife cannot build a house in converted land if husband already owns a house elsewhere. Is it true ?
My replies to this discussion
this is mostly true. Are you talking about Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, 2008? This law prevents one from reclamation of paddy fields and agricultural land so that it can solely be kept for agriculture. There is another act that was passed in 2005 that brings agricultural land on par with all property. This law even equalizes gender inequalities related to possession of agricultural land in India. On that front, it is mostly possible that your wife can own that converted property. Can you be more specific as to which Act exactly you're referring to? this is mostly true.

YEs. CRZ-III refers to places that are close to the coast but are relatively undeveloped. People living in waterfront areas such as islands, where the salinity levels are above 5 PPT (particles per thousand), are generally affected by CRZ-III norms. YEs.

Hey, i heard from a friend that GCDA has opted against sharing its projects with partner Kerala Mission. Can someone please give me updates on the same?

Hmm, while the issue would be included in the agenda for the next meeting, it’s not likely to be held any time soon considering that the last meeting was held recently.Hmm, while the issue would be included in the agenda for the next meeting, it’s not likely to be held any time soon considering that the last meeting was held recently.

Hi, I wanted to know about the unofficial power cuts that are happening in Kochi regularly now. This is causing much trouble. Can I know some detailed information about this?
My replies to this discussion
But, KSEB officials said that they were not imposing any undeclared power cuts. They are still saying that these could have happened due to technical snags. Also, it could have been due to Metro rail works. There may be other local issues too.But, KSEB officials said that they were not imposing any undeclared power cuts.

Q:
Hello there, I came to know that there is a revised budget for the corporation of Kochi by the ruling front. Is it true?
My replies to this discussion
You know what, While a Rs 40 crore expenditure was projected under the head ‘Roads and Bridges Development’, there was no indication of the revenue source. An unrealistic projection of Rs 2 cr was shown under the head ‘Miscellaneous’, despite the fact that the local body’s actual collection in this head for 2013-14 was only Rs 85,000.You know what, While a Rs 40 crore expenditure was projected under the head ‘Roads and Bridges Development’, there was no indication of the revenue source.

Actually, this was made to tally with the projected expenditure of Rs 20 crore each under the heads of ‘Road and Bridges’ and ‘Sewerage and Drainage. I think that after the revision, the expected income and expenditure stand at Rs 921.54 cr and Rs 881.87 cr, respectively, which were previously Rs 881.54 cr and Rs 841.87 cr.Actually, this was made to tally with the projected expenditure of Rs 20 crore each under the heads of ‘Road and Bridges’ and ‘Sewerage and Drainage.

Hi, I want to know about the condition of the Ernakulam Town Railway station and the development works going on in there.
My replies to this discussion
The water authority has a pipe connection with 45-mm-diameter passing near the station. The railway authorities have requested them to replace any of the two connections (which use 30-mm-diameter pipes) with the 45-mm-diameter pipe connection. This will be done before the summer reaches its peak.
