New to investing in Trivandrum real estate? Then learn from the experts

If you are new to investing in Trivandrum real estate you can consider yourself to be in the right place! 2013 definitely promises to be a year of optimism not only among real estate investors but for the overall economy as a whole. With hopes of BSE SENSEX touching 21500 by end of 2013 as per analyst forecast, Inflationary trends at a lowest in a year, and reduction in interest rates which might follow soon, for everyone in business or investing there is reason to cheer.

But for the amateur real estate investor, buying property is somewhat similar to buying stocks. In the sense you can always see stocks which appreciate in the hind sight and say that you should have bought that share but it is not an easy decision to know which one to buy at present without a lot of background work.

In real estate, people tend to feel that buying property is assuring themselves of handsome returns irrespective of type, location and other factors. Which explains why some get returns of 10% while the well informed investors get in excess of 20%. You can always however learn from expert property investment advisors like those at Nandanam on which property decisions make sense.

Take the case of a highly reputed builder in the state who airs advertisement on property in the media on a regular basis. With a lack of reliability in handover of property post construction, the customers who buy in, earn half the returns to somebody who buys a property from another builder but hands over on time.

In another example, experts at property consulting like Nandanam not only maintain association with builders but also large corporations, and hotel and mall owners who are mulling investments in Trivandrum. Due to the indepth awareness about what is coming up and where, property investments can be made in those areas where the investment could reap multi fold returns with a few years. For an amateur investor, keeping track of all that is happening in the property and real estate front even via the Internet or media is a difficult proposition. What you get to know might just be tip of the iceberg with a lot of real estate action and deals being signed in the background.

While some Phd interns at Nandanam do a lot of analysis and predictive modeling on future scenarios  for property investments and advise our clients and retail customers on which ones to buy, there is also an opportunity to learn for the customer as well. Customer face to face meetings are encouraged in the company with our CEO who finds time to advise our customer and educate them on what is right!

With a detailed process in place for investing in land, villas, flats or houses property investments is both an art and a science. 2013 might finally be a year when you decide to keep away a few minutes and talk to property experts on how your money can grow with property in the future and for generations to come!

Kochi metro is finally here! Great news for Keralites

Article as appeared in Hindu a few days ago on Kochi metro implementation.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will implement the Rs.5,182-crore Kochi Metro Rail project with E. Sreedharan as its Principal Adviser. The decision seems to have ended all uncertainties about the implementation agency for the mass rapid transit system and Mr. Sreedharan’s role in it.

A decision in this regard was taken at a high-level meeting between the Centre and the State government, and attended by the Managing Directors of the DMRC and Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL), Mangu Singh and Elias George respectively, and Mr. Sreedharan, here on Tuesday.

Briefing reporters after the meeting, Union Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath said the DMRC would be fully engaged in the implementation of the rail project mooted in 2005 to decongest the State’s commercial capital. This is the first time the administration has allowed the DMRC to go out of the State of Delhi for the full implementation of a project. The Kochi project, he said, will be completed within the shortest possible time. (The Kerala government had announced a three-year time frame for the completion of the project.) The project covers 25.612 km in the Aluva-MG Road-Petta stretch. To persistent queries, the Minister said Mr. Sreedharan would function as Principal Adviser to the DMRC, stationed in Kerala.

He will be delegated responsibilities as determined by the DMRC in consultation with the KMRL.

Kochi Metro Rail Ltd plans to explore more options on water transport as a feeder to the metro rail system.

A Transit Oriented Development Committee will incubate a special purpose vehicle to focus on the development of the city’s waterways, which will be integrated with the metro rail system in Kochi.

This was being done under the aegis of UMTA (Unified Metropolitan Authority) planned to facilitate coordinated planning and implementation of the city’s transportation network, a press release issued here said.

The first meeting of the transit-oriented development committee, constituted by the board of KMRL, was held here and chaired by the Managing Director, KMRL, and Additional Chief Secretary (Transport) Elias George.

As a part of this initiative, it was also decided that the State Water Transport Department will commence trial services along a few urban waterways at Kochi by next month.

“Catalysing transit-oriented development is a key objective of KMRL, in line with the practices followed by modern urban metro systems. The objective is to ensure more balanced urban development away from the city centre as well as the provision of urban facilities close to Metro stations,” he said.

“In terms of transit oriented development, each metro station will act as a node and a catalyst for creating local urban facilities in the vicinity of the station itself,” George added.

It was also decided that a detailed planning exercise would be undertaken to prepare a transit-oriented development plan along the alignment of the Metro line.

This study will be undertaken by NATPAC and UMTC (Urban Mass Transit Company Limited) with the assistance of existing agencies like the Kochi Corporation, GCDA, The Chief Town Planner’s office and other transport related departments.

The engagement of the DMRC will be on cost-plus basis (cost plus mutually agreed consultancy fee). The Minister stressed the need to build (KMRL’s) capacity as he announced that the DMRC will assist it in building up its organisational capacity for executing the metro work and undertaking its operation and maintenance. (The KMRL is expected to take up the proposed extension of the metro rail project to the airport, Ka kkanad, Tripunithura, etc.).

Ideal Land Parcels in Trivandrum surge in demand. Do you own an acre?

With renewed interest in villas from real estate customers looking to invest in Trivandrum, land parcels in the city (1 Acre or more) have suddenly surged in interest in the last few months. This interest is predominantly being felt from the villa developers in the city as per the property management team of Nandanam Consultants.

Villa developers need lesser area compared to flats and land parcels can range from 1 Acres to 5 Acres for villas. Appreciation values for property being at an all time high, flats in cities like Bangalore have appreciated close to 12% for a majority of areas, while prices for villas have rapidly increased even going beyond 2Cr+. Trivandrum seems to be following a cue from that, although today most villas range from 50 Lacs to 75 Lacs and are in the affordable range.Since developers are mulling super luxury villas in Trivandrum, you could see villas in 1-5Cr range being launched within 2015.

From a property perspective a villa builder or the property management team at Nandanam Consulants evaluates a plot based on these parameters to judge if it is ideal for villa development:

Distance to CBD or Development Zone - A study done in Ohio (United States) for a period of five years and another done in Sydney (Australia) point out that distance to CBD is a critical determinant of real estate prices. Most researchers argue that this variable is more critical than accessibility although positive correlation does exist for the latter. However as cities become poly centric with multiple CBDs instead of being monocentric, real estate prices would be determined with respect to proximity to a particular CBD in the zone or the suburb. At present only MG road could be considered as the central business district within Trivandrum with a majority of banks, retail and business houses located in the area. With new retail and business hot spots emerging at Vellayambalam, Pattom and Kazhakuttam, new CBDs could emerge within the next decade in a poly centric model within the city and change the real estate pattern.

Promixity to Highways and Expressways - Properties located up to 1kms from major highways and expressways showed a much higher value and appreciation and are highly considered for villa development.

Proximity to Regional Shopping centers - Real estate which is in proximity to malls, and other regional shopping centers are also in favour of developers.

Shape, Amenities, Utilities and Nature of the Land - Shape of the land includes verification if the shape of the site is fit for building construction or not. Nature of the land includes ground water availability, height of the water table, if it is wet land or not i.e. if it the land is prone to flooding, load bearing capacity of the mud in the land, height of the rock bottom etc. General amenities usually considered by builders include water front, sea view, greenery etc.  Utilities include availability of water, electricity, telephone at the project site. The design team of the builders usually consider all the above four factors before deciding on the plot of land.

India Real Estate Recap for 2012 and Predictions for 2013

So what are the predictions for real estate growth in India in 2013? These are excerpts from an Interview with Anuj Puri, Chairman & Country Head, Jones Lang LaSalle India

Real Estate Recap for 2012 

Among the top 7 cities of India, the capital value growth in Pune and NCR-Delhi was the highest, while Hyderabad and Bangalore saw a slower rate of capital value growth. There is still no price correction on the cards, but the quantum of appreciation definitely reduced significantly in all the top seven cities of India in 2012. Infrastructure deficit continues to be a key restraint for the growth of residential markets across India.

Overpricing has been an issue in Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata, resulting in a relatively smaller share of absorption from these cities during 2012. For Commercial Real Estate, 2012 was defined by a notable decline in absorption of office space across most of the cities in India from the 2011 levels. However, the larger cities of Mumbai, NCR-Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai contributed to a healthy 72.5% of the country’s net absorption of commercial real estate.

Retailers in cities like NCR-Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore continued to actively lease space in superior quality malls due to the limited availability of new space and the low vacancy rates in existing prime malls. The total net absorption of retail space across India projected for 2012 was 4.4 million square feet, led by NCR-Delhi and Bangalore (which together absorbed 2.6 million square feet).

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE IN 2013

Although most of the cities of India will see an increase in residential launches in 2013, the southern cities of Bangalore and Chennai will witness a decline in launches as compared to 2012YTD. It is important to note that these two cities recorded a historical high in terms of the number of launches during 2012.

To illustrate - Pune has recorded an average of close to 6000 units per quarter over the past three years (2010 to 2012YTD). This is more than twice the average quarterly launches recorded during the period 2007-2009. As a market that has grown too fast in such a short time, launches in Pune will be moderate in the near term.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE IN 2013

The fact that the major cities of Mumbai, NCR-Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai saw 72.5% of the total commercial space absorption in 2012 is a telling one, and indicates the forward path. These cities will grab the lion’s share of contribution in total commercial space absorption in 2013, certainly within the range of 74-76%.

We expect 2013 to bring a larger-than-usual number of NRI investors into the commercial space arena. This is because NRIs are currently enthused by the prevailing exchange rate benefits and the fact that commercial real estate capital values are still 15-25% under their 2007-08 peak levels

RETAIL REAL ESTATE IN 2013

The Government`s nod to FDI in multi-brand retail will be a major driving factor for increased activity in 2013. This, in turn, will positively impact the absorption of retail space over the next 12 to 24 months. The absorption is forecast to touch 6.8 million square feet and 7.1 million square feet in 2013 and 2014.

India`s major cities like Mumbai, NCR-Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata will see the addition of close to 9.5 million square feet of mall space in 2013. Mumbai, NCR-Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai will together contribute 70% of the total retail space absorption.

Trivandrum among best Indian cities for real estate in 2012

As per our research Trivandrum is among the best cities in India in terms of returns in real estate investments in 2012. The list has been prepared using available indices like Nhb residex as well as using our property tracker across India compiled by Nandanam Consultants market research team in 2012.

The following major cities are considered for this list: Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kochi, Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Trivandrum.

Amongst the cities which recorded significant real estate returns last year included Chennai - 15 to 18% growth, Pune - 16 to 18% growth, Trivandrum - 14 to 17% increase in property rates, Ahmedabad - 12 to 13% rise in the last year. Other cities like Mumbai and Kochi remained more or less static in terms of price increase with less than 5% increase in the last year due to availability of excess inventory.
