In “Master plan Gurgaon 2021″ there has been the announcement of 56 new sectors, whereas the basic infrastructure in the existing sectors,{ announced several years ago} has not been fully completed.

With the aforementioned reasons, real estate scenario in Gurgan getting much confusing, as some of the prominent builders as well as new players have announced the projects in the sectors with their signboards amidst of “lush green field “{ without road & proper accessibility } displaying the “Promised Dream comforts”, where the signs of **basic infrastructure are not at all visible.

**{Basic Infrastructure include - Roads- Drinking water- Electricity- Sever disposal -Rain water/storm water disposal- Greenery & Plantation-Shopping& market}

Since most of the “New Projects” are being announced in new sectors as covered in master plan 2021, where presently no signs of development ,therefore, several doubts haunt one’s mind as:

Time Frame of Basic Infrastructure

• Commutable Roads with proper electrification
• Availability of drinking water
• Availability of Electricity [ From Electricity Department}
• Connectivity of Sewer connection with major drain as per Town planning norms
• Rain water/ Storm water Deposal as per Town planning norms
• Horticulture/Plantation and Parks
• Connectivity to Shopping/Healthcare/ Schools etc

As the real estate in Gurgaon has taken a positive turn, it is quite obvious to see the buyers enthusiasm. But a major cause of worry is that the over enthusiastic ones, may not land into a mess, therefore, it is imperative on the part of investor to check the facts about the project before investment. Lured with low “Basic Price” and discounts offered, the buyer gets tempted to put their hard money at a stake.

Besides having the strength of highly competent professionals in respective fields, it also holds reserves of a large land bank .Presently & in past “Roots Developers” have been associated closely with companies like Unitech, Vipul, Bestech & other reputed builders in Gurgaon.

Property on Sohna Road Gurgaon

With overall growth in Gurgaon , ” Properties on Sohna Road” were awaiting appreciation .As during the peak time, the Real estate developers in Gurgaon had launched a large number of Residential and commercial projects which over a period headed towards completion.

Residential Property on Sohna Road Gurgaon
With of global meltdown, about three months back the prices/rentals of properties were seen sliding down. The investors seemed to have lost confidence; new user/end user was in a confused state, expecting a further downfall.

However, now, the conditions seem to be changing in the recent past because of following:

• With successful launching of new projects by eminent builders like Unitech, it has re-imposed the confidence of actual/end user on BSP {basic-selling price}.
• Affordable homes, are also being advertised on Sohna Road by some of the upcoming builders.
• It is felt that with Government’s approval on Builder/Independent floors{GF+2 Floors}, some of the ambitious/reputed builders are launching “Affordable Houses” on Sohna road.
• It is also noticed that over a period of time the patience of investor also got exhausted as there has been no visible extra gains, while market condition had settled on a genuine price line.

Now since there seems to be a stability factor & the buyer also has varied options therefore the market has started moving towards a positive trend. The projects on Sohna road mainly. Park view city. Vipul greens & Orchid Petals are already showing signs of positive growth in sale/ rentals.

Commercial Property on Sohna Road

With projects of some of the companies like, Vatika ,Spaze, ILD are nearing Completion & it seems that the promoters have themselves analyzed the market conditions as a result they are offering best prices in terms of cost/leasing. Effective strategy of promoters by offering lower rentals of commercial property, as compared to commercial office space at “Golf course road” & “M.G. Road” has lured the MNCs to find their way on Sohna Road

Almost five years ago ,the Government of Haryana had put a ban in Gurgaon,on “Registration” of property falling under the category of Builder Floors/ Independent Floors (eg: Three Independent Floors built on Single plot) & it resulted into the following:

• Sale of Builder Floors/ Independent Floors carried out on GPA{ general power of attorney }, an unsafe property ownership title for the buyer.
• As GPA is not considered to be a legal instrument, the buyers would not get bank finance.
• The Government’s loss of revenue in terms of Registration charges & Stamp duty.

It is understood that after conducting in-depth study in this matter the Government has finally legalized the registration of “Builder floors/ independent floors”, constructed on plots by plot owners in colonies developed by private builders such as DLF,Unitech & Ansals etc. as well as colonies developed by Haryana Urban development Authority {HUDA}

It is further understood that in this recent directive the applicants may have to pay 1% of extra Stamp duty, covering the cost of ” Infra -structure up-gradation”
With this vital decision, it not only provides a sigh of relief to the owners of such properties, who have transacted the purchase on GPA{ general power of attorney }, but it has also generated positive results as following:

• With Registration, buyers of such properties will now become legal owners.
• Availability of bank loans.
• Gearing up/ boost in “Guraon Real estate” as the builders will be encouraged to build more of Independent floors considering the large demand for Independent floors.(with latent advantage of sale purchase of plots, positive improvement in “real estate prices in Gurgaon”)
• Over all benefit to the Government revenue growth.

The real-estate experts feel, that this decision, shall help towards mobilizing positive growth in the present sluggish real estate scenario.

In absence of regulatory authority or a governing body, the real estate activities in India had been in highly un-organized manner but with socioecnomic awareness the real estate sector is also moving toward a positive direction.

Professional attitude of real estate companies and the presence of MNCs like CB Richard Ellis,Knight frank, Chesteron Meghraj & fast growing trend of property portals like 99Acres, Magicbriks,Indiaproperties etc are the indicaters of a “Professional Real estate” of tomorrow.

Still there is a large section which remains unorganised and non-professional. Add on of property dealers and so called Property conultant, who neither have proper knowledge nor experience in this field are making this profession as “Third Rate”. They seem to be a preffered choice of that sectionof society that believes in parellal Economy, as both can understand each other’s language very well.

Real Estate is a backbone of every economy be it a developing economy or a developed economy. In most of the developed countries real estate is a organized sector with licensed real estate agents who act as a very important intermediary between buyer and seller. The real estate agents is a specialized and organized work in developed countries where proper licenses are issued to real estate agents after going through a training procedure.An un-organized sector with no regulating authority /governing body reduce the transparency in transactions make them shady, speculative with uncertain market conditions thus making it a distant dream, for a common man, to own a property

Remedies suggested:

• Form a governing body: It is very important to form a governing body whoch has direct influence on the real estate players and which can give direction to the real estate market for its growth. 
• Fix the brokerage: there should be fixed brokerage for sale, purchase and rent deals etc in the market and no broker should charge a price above or below the market rate at any time. The prevailing rate of sale and purchase is anywhere between .5% to 2% of sale/purchase price.
• Education: learning is a very important tool for innovation and growth of an industry. If an Insurance agent is needed to clear an IRDA paper, an mutual fund seller needs to pass an AMFI exam and even a stock broker needs to clear a minimum no. of papers in order to exercise hid ticket in the stock market. So it is very important to device a paper which has a mix of mathematics and legal issues so that a real estate agent has proper knowledge on various obstacles or legal issues which can surface in a deal.
• Give License and code: After an agent is able to clear his exam then he should be issued a real estate agent license along with a code eg. xxx1986xx. Each and every agent should be provided with a unique code which will ascertain his identity and thus lead to reduction of frauds by brokers to buyer/seller.
• Get them in the Tax net: As the real estate sector was unorganized thus there is high level of tax evasion by the real estate agents. There is a remedy to prevent this. The unique code given to the real estate brokers will be given registered on legal papers of the deal and the records of same can be given to IT department. As each and every deal will be registered the brokers will be bound to disclose their brokerage.

With the passage of time the definition of luxury has changed in the last decade. Every product has its own market from guest houses to hotels to luxury hotels everyone has its own niche market to offer. Service apartment is one such type of market which is a growing market with a good demand in Metros and is being catered by Hotels and Guest houses. A service apartment is a furnished residential space which gives a homely look and has all the facilities from a fully furnished modular kitchen with all the cooking utensils, refrigeration, cooking gas, home appliances to other useful utensils in the kitchen. In the room it has Home Theater along with heating or cooling systems and other utilities which are generally found in a home and also telephone and internet connectivity. In certain cases security and power back are also prevalent. In short it is a home away from home.

The concept of service apartment is quite prevalent in western countries but it now coming up in India. Service Apartments are generally taken by corporates who have to stay for longer duration in India. When these corporates come to India they face some problem with culture, environment and food. The foreigners who come to India are not able to adjust themselves to the local food and environment and they are not able to enjoy the lifestyle they are used to.

This is where a service apartment comes to there rescue. These foreigners can cook their own food, maintain their own apartment and can also be provided with domestic help in India which is relatively cheap as compared to western countries. This helps them to feel like home and enjoy their stay in India with the best of health and spirits.

Service Apartments have a great future in Delhi NCR because it is a BPO and MNC hub, NRI tourism destination and an important diplomatic destination in South Asia.There is a constant increase in inflow of business travelers and tourists which are increasing year on year and the Medical tourism boom in coming years will supplement these demands as a service apartment can give feel of a home to a patient who can enjoy home cooked food after and before treatment.

The tariff of a service apartment can vary with the duration of stay by a traveler. Tariff for a service apartment can start from Rs. 7000/- Per month to Rs. 300000/- Per month depending on size of apartment and the level of luxury offered in the Apartment. The tariff generally includes the maintenance and water bills but may or may not include the electricity bills for the apartment. In all a service apartment have a great demand ahead in India
