Has Upswing Begun In Residential Property Prices

February 5, 2018

It is true that the upswing has begun in residential property prices in India. In fact, the real estate market in India has gone through a downward trend in the immediate past. The market has witnessed a slump. Property prices have gone down. In the metro centres of India like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Calcutta, during the recession period property prices on an average property rates went down by 33 percent. This has adversely affected the real estate industry and several investment companies as well as infrastructural development companies have suffered losses. Many institutional as well as individual investors found it hard to sustain. However, the grip of the slump became less and less severe as the days and months elapsed. Now the industry is back in the saddle and reportedly the upswing in property prices has begun.

Of late, there is an upswing in the residential property prices in India. Across India, in the prime urban locations during the previous quarterly period the property industry has witnessed an average 10 per cent appreciation in property value. As a matter of fact, this growth in property value is not confined to residential property alone. The growth is discernible in the commercial property as well. However, the growth rate in the residential property segment is much more noticeable than that of the commercial, property sector. In the commercial property sector during the corresponding period the value appreciation is below 5 per cent. There is reportedly an unprecedented demand for middle-level income type of residential units. This upswing in the middle-income level residential property is due to the revised pay scale for government employees and a better paying private sector.

Across India there has begun an upswing at the prices of residential property in India . It is reported that in the property market in the major South Indian cities independent residential houses show better value appreciation than apartment units or flats. This may be due to the higher affordability of the corporate sector clientele in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai. In Delhi and Calcutta the residential property sector shows an average 10 per cent growth in the previous quarter and the trend is expected to continue in the remaining part of the year. In the suburban centres in India, the demand for independent floors and villas is on the increase. A major market trend witnessed in the prime locations across India is that the demand for single and double bedroom housing units is on the increase. Market experts are of the view that there is a price increase of about 15 percent during the current fiscal for the middle-income level residential units and the trend is expected to continue inn the coming years.

February 1, 2018

Hike in Collector rates – Property market in Zirakpur suffers Owning a property in chandigarh has become a costly affair as the collector rate and the fee for getting building plan approved has been hiked by the authorities. A common man who is thinking of owning a small residential house in this region is hit badly by the hiked collector rates. Imagine, before April 1st, 2011, owning a small six Marla (150 sq yards) plot could be accomplished with the payment of Rs 75,000 (as collector rates) as compared to Rs 1,35,000 today for the same. The buyer will have to also pay Rs 45,000 for getting approval for building plan. The information about the hike is drafted on the basis of categories focused on location, for example the location of the property in concern is on the main road, on the link road, their placement in the municipal limit of Zirakpur etc. Registration rates for the land on the main road have been increased from Rs 1 cr to Rs 3.5 cr per acre. Similarly, the land rates have been fixed at Rs 1.5-2 cr per acre for the inner parts of property in zirakpur. Collector Rates Zirakpur Property LocationsPrevious NEW Main Road ( Per acre)Rs 1 cr3.5 cr Agricultural Land in Inner parts ( per acre)Rs 1.5 crRs 1.5-2 cr Commercial Property ( per sq yard)Rs 9,000Rs 18,000 Residential plots in named colony ( per sq yard) Rs 5,000Rs 9,000 Independent residential plots ( per sq yard)Rs 4,500Rs 8,000 Building Map Fees Residential Plot SizePreviousNEW 50-125 sq yardsRs 80Rs 323 flat rate for all sizes 250 sq yardsRs 213 Commercial plots All sizes Rs 350RS 2,815

Hiking and fixing a same cost for building map approval fees for all sizes of plots will have direct impact on the property owner of small residential houses as it was Rs 80 instead of Rs 323 per sq yard now. For commercial property, there is a substantial hike in the rates; it has been increased from Rs 350 per sq yard to Rs 2,815 per sq yard. According to property consultants, -an end customer / buyer in the region would opt for flats in developments instead of plots due to hike in collector rates and building map approval fees-.

January 19, 2018

Solbank, part of Spains fourth largest bank Banco Sabadell, has announced it will provide mortgages for all property sales in Spain made through the Spanish Homes Network, reports property portal House Sales Spain ().

The Spanish Ministry of Housing recently published reports that stated newly built homes on the Spanish property market rose 12% in 2009 and that an estimated 300,000 units are believed to be currently under construction, taking the total figure of unsold properties to around 1 million.

Understanding Order Of Liens On A Property

January 14, 2018

In order to buy a tax lien property you must first decide which states or counties are conducive to producing conditions that will allow you to end up in ownership. In addition you may want to consider purchasing tax deeds instead, as the process is set up in a way that gives you a better chance at property ownership.

Before you buy a tax lien property you have to purchase the tax lien certificate first. In order to get a certificate you will have to bid on the sale in many cases. This process can differ from state to state, and county to county. The bidding process starts at 18% in Orange county Florida and they in fact begin to bid down from there. In other words, whoever is ready for the lowest amount of interest will end up winning the certificate.

In general, assuming that you win the bid for the tax lien property certificate that you are interested is to foreclose on the assets that you have. This process varies from state to state but usually you will have to wait until the redemption period is over, in order to start the foreclosure procedure. The redemption period can differ anywhere from six months to a few years.

Here are the different types of liens:

1. IRS liens: IRS liens take precedence over any other lien on a piece of property. Once you find out the amount of the IRS lien, you may be able to speak with the IRS and negotiate how much they will accept to forgive the arrearage.

Tip: Make sure you get that in writing! Another little known fact is that after 10 years, unless the IRS renews the lien, the lien drops off their list.

2. Real estate liens: Those are the next on the priority list. Those must be satisfied. If you go to an auction and if enough money is paid for the property to pay off only the first mortgage, then everything beneath that on the priority list is wiped away. If you buy a second mortgage and then you have purchased everything above that on the priority list. You need to have completed your due diligence and know the lien priority.

3. Other liens: Other liens may include
Second Mortgage
Homeowners Association Fees
Mechanics Lien
Lawsuit
Judgment

All these other items go on the priority list by the date on which they were filed at the County Recorders Office.
