Please read part I of the article for better understanding. You get an understanding of how ‘promoters’ (builders) as well as ‘agents’ are brought under the legal purview of the TS-RERA regulatory authority. The result: PEACE OF MIND!!

With the Telangana RERA in place, the buyers, sellers as well as agents benefit. The industry grows on the foundation of trust, transparency and a well-regulated structure. Business flourishes when there is an environment of trust and safety all around. Clearly, Telangana RERA enabling the real estate sector is truly a win-win for everyone! 1. Rules for Real Estate Agents (Brokers) regulated in Hyderabad / Telangana Registration of agents or brokers is a must now This prevents the ‘unregistered agents’ to deal with selling or buying of property This way a registered Real Estate agent is made accountable The unsocial elements who pose as brokers without any proper qualification and credentials are kept out Registered broker means that the scope of DUPING innocent buyers is taken care of No broker or an agent can sell or buy a property in Telangana without obtaining RERA registration As a home buyer, you feel safer with this regulation Registration means that the broker is answerable for their actions to the RERA authority By default, a RERA registered broker is required to protect the interests of both the buyers and sellers Safeguarding financial and legal interests is their prime duty If anyone does Real Estate transactions without being registered, penalty is imposed on the ‘unregistered agent’ (UNAUTHORIZED) 2. Commercial and residential projects can begin marketing ONLY AFTER registering with RERA A builder CANNOT advertise, book, or offer for sale any property without being RERA registered Marketing without the project being registered is ILLEGAL! With this, a builder cannot accept money from buyers just on a promise or fancy marketing materials! A builder in Telangana is now under the RERA scanner No violation is permitted as it can lead to the builder being JAILED Promoters or builders who do NOT comply with RERA directives are now aware that it’s a punishable offense that can put them behind bars for up to 3 years! 3. What if the builder is not registered with RERA? If a builder does NOT register under RERA, they can be penalised for up to 10% of the cost of the property Besides registering, a builder is required to inform the RERA authorities of the status of the project at regular intervals (ONCE in three months) With TS-RERA, a builder is made to fulfil their property related commitments, especially since they start taking money from buyers/investors as per a construction schedule Deviation from the construction schedule is looked at very seriously by TS-RERA 4. Mandatory obligations of a builder as per TS-RERA A builder cannot take more than 10% as advance payment or application money without a proper agreement of sale Builders must get a Completion certificate (as called occupancy certificate) once the property is completed Deposit 70% of amount taken from buyer into a construction account. This money can be used only for construction purposes of the same residential or commercial property Builder cannot NOT use money taken for other purposes. No DIVERSION OF MONEY permitted Amount that a builder withdraws from this account should be same %age of completion Those involved in the construction must certify this viz. structural engineer, architect, a practising chartered accountant Thus, the professionals are also made answerable to follow a professional code of conduct in protecting buyers’ interests This ensures that misappropriation of funds is prevented Builder is kept under strict vigilance by the regulatory authorities Builders are required to compensate a buyer for any false statement A builder can be asked to give a Full refund with interest is required if promises are not kept Builder can be taken to task by RERA officials if the builder’s intent is found to be dubious Accounts of the builder need to be audited every financial year. Deviation or non-compliance can result in builders’ account being FROZEN by Telangana State RERA authority Provision for home buyers to file complaints against builder Consumers can file complaints about any registered project. There is provision to make an appeal before the appellate tribunal as well. Further, one can even approach the high court. Prior to 2017, such an organized mechanism did not exist where the builder would be brought under the scanner of a regulatory body backed by stringent rules and expectations. Complete transparency with details of projects visible on the RERA website Details of any project registered project in Hyderabad / Telangana are available online for citizens to verify on the Telangana RERA website. Once can actually check whether or not a project is ‘registered’ by checking in the RERA website by typing the project title.

Choosing the right colours for different rooms [Source- https://www.dulux.ca/ ] Those who want to paint themselves, try samples of colours that you desire Don’t just depend on the shade card If you want a sense of spaciousness- CHOOSE LIGHT SHADES, especially in living, dining and kitchen. The same goes for the bedroom if FEELING MORE SPACE is a priority For the bedroom, if you are looking at warmth and love, then you can choose yellow or red coloured hues What is a ‘hue’? In simple terms, a ‘hue’ is a darker or lighter shade of a colour. For instance, dark navy blue to very light sky blue Brighter colours add a spark to the rooms. Sometimes, you can paint 1 out of 4 walls in a different complementary or contrasting colour. For instance, 3 light brown walls in your bedroom, and a bright reddish or marron-ish coloured wall where you have the head-rest of your bed SIMPLE RULE- Light tones open up SPACES making them airy and bright 2.

Use Clear Glass-divider in your small bathroom shower [Source- https://www.framelessimpressions.com.au/] [Source- https://www.ubuy.vn/ ] The bathroom will look more stylish and spacious when you replace shower stalls (curtains) with clear tinted or toughened glass With clear glass, a wall-like divider separating the shower area Despite that, the clear walls make the shower area feel like it is part of the bathroom This way, a CLEAR CLASS divider being transparent gives the illusion of more space Clear glass also opens up the shower area to more light coming through If the clear glass is not possible, the next alternative is to use a clear (transparent) shower curtain However, it is much easier to clean glass shower doors rather than plastic-based curtain liners 2. Using mirrors or Shiny-surfaces in your tiny bathroom [Source- https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/419749627772986905/ ] [Source- https://www.digsdigs.com/bathrooms-with-big-mirrors/ ] [Source- https://ryansallglass.com/] Using a mirror maximizes visual space in any room It makes a small bathroom look bigger When light reflects on mirrors, it adds greater depth to a small bathroom This way you can actually TRICK THE EYE. You can actually install TWO MIRRORS ON OPPOSITE SIDES to create this illusion However, this must be done carefully, since having too many mirrors is NOT for everyone Instead, you can have shiny surfaces, tiles, cabinets, or shelves try having shiny cabinets, shelves, vanities, or countertops A shiny surface has a reflective surface which gives the same effect of more visual space 3. Lighting, Colour, and space-enhancing decor tips [Source- https://www.architecturaldigest.com/] Lighting can help make the room feel bigger You can use both reflective lighting, as well as natural lighting to maximize visual space Having a window and natural sunlight inside your bathroom also gives an open and airy feeling.

Better to use accessories and decorations in the bathroom alone Walls or floors could be bold, but it is better to make the GLOSSY so that ‘reflective lighting’ remains intact If you want to go a bit bold, you can use a darker color on your ceiling. This plays the trick of anyone using the bathroom looking at the ceiling. By looking at the ceiling, the eyes are taken off from the small bathroom Similarly, you can use a decoration item or an accessory to become the focal point of your small bathroom, and the eyes are glued to this focal point [Source- https://www.icanvas.com/ ] [Source- https://www.elephantstock.com/ ] For example, you can use an unobtrusive yet appealing item like a light fixture, mirror, sculpture, painting, or plant to create a focal point (a good distraction) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Ways To Make Small Bathrooms Look Bigger And Spacious In Indian Homes“.Click here!
