Since the
past ten years, India has become a hub for housing projects in different
sectors. This includes luxury apartments, mid-segment housing, upper mid-house
segment and many more. While a lot of people are interested in investing money
in high-end properties, a larger section of buyers is still eyeing the
mid-income or commonly known as ‘affordable housing’. Since, the demand is high
for such projects, supply has become rather pale. Builders these days are
concentrating more on planning out projects that fetch them more money with
little efforts. However, due to this notion, investors who are interested in
buying affordable properties in India
are left with the scarcity of it.
There are a
few parameters that define affordable housing in India clearly. Some of them
are as follows:
Basic
Amenities
Provisions
of basic amenities such as clean drinking water, adequate supply of water,
sanitation, etc., are necessary in any housing/commercial property. There are a
lot of builders these days that are promoting these facilities in their
upcoming projects but are not able to deliver them after possession of
properties by buyers. Hence, before finalizing a single developer, it is very
crucial to take note of the services being offered by them.
Cost
of Property
One of the
most note-worthy thing before buying an India
property is the obviously the cost associated with it. At the time of
assessing property prices, it also becomes important to keep track of the costs
you are going to bear after actually buying and maintaining that place. The key
to build any housing project is to use sustainable and low-key maintenance
features that do not require regular attention of both buyers and developers.
Property
Location
Affordable
housing in India also means finding a perfect location with almost all of the
facilities that a buyer’s dreams of. One of the most imperative aspects of
affordable housing project is to build it in a location that is directly linked
to daily transport facilities and other basic locations. If the location is far
away from workplace, it becomes rather difficult for people to commute to work
on a daily basis. Therefore, if a person is buying affordable housing there
should not be pricey transportation associated with it.
Apart from
the aforementioned features of affordable housing, builders should also take in
account the income of buyers. There is a common notion that with an increase in
incomes, affordability of properties also grows, but it is not true in each and
every example. On top of it, various regulatory and urbanization issues keep
pouring in for developers. There is already a huge demand in land space in
urban India and with such drastic increase developers have to find a way to
introduce a simple of building affordable housing in India.
In today’s times, whenever a builder announces new projects,
they instantly have to get government approval along with all the facilities
for the future residents of the house. With such implication, it becomes difficult
for them to keep track of mere necessities. Thus, with the demand of luxury
properties in India, affordable housing is also making its way amongst
various hurdles and regulations.
