What makes ‘standalone building apartments’ lucrative to home-buyers in Hyderabad?
What makes ‘standalone building apartments’ lucrative to home-buyers in Hyderabad? Buying a home is blissful as you get a place that you can call your own. While evaluating home options, every home buyer makes a deliberate decision on what’s works well for them. Two alternatives that are often evaluated are- buying an apartment in a ‘huge gated community’ versus buying one that’s part of a smaller standalone building. We need to be sure about our decision before we go for ‘the one’! The deal is finally sealed after a choice is made between a ‘gated community’ versus ‘standalone building apartment’. The decision is made in terms of the extent of luxury, value-for-money, spaciousness, services, security, and several other factors that a home buyer seeks! What is a gated community apartment complex? A gated community apartment complex offers luxurious amenities within an enclosed setting spread across a large land parcel usually spread over acres of land. Residents normally belong to a similar social status, which becomes an important reason for homebuyers to prefer them. The security system is usually tight with every detail of anyone entering or leaving recorded. The added security provides protection and is an incentive to keep the family safe. CCTV cameras are normally installed in every nook and corner to remain vigilant at all times. According to Wikipedia a gated community “is a form of the residential community or housing estate containing strictly controlled entrances for pedestrians, bicycles, and automobiles, and are often characterized by a closed perimeter of walls and fences. Similar walls and gates have separated the quarters of some cities for centuries. Gated communities usually consist of small residential streets and include various shared amenities.” What is a standalone building apartment? In cities like Hyderabad, ‘standalone building apartments’ are constructed over smaller residential plots admeasuring between 400 square yards to 2000 square yards located in superb locations across Hyderabad- both closer to a place of work or away from it. These smaller, open plots are usually located in well-established colonies which are preferred by home buyers. Logically, the home-buyers prefer only locations that are high on social infrastructure, and also offer a peaceful environment a little away from the noise and air pollution. Example of two formats of ‘standalone building apartments’ depending on budget- A standalone building apartment could be a Rs. 65 lakh high-end 3 BHK apartment in a standalone building in a cluster-living environment (where you have 2, 3 or more neighbours on the same floor). Alternatively, for a more generous budget, a home buyer could buy a spacious 3 BHK ‘EXCLUSIVE FLOOR’ admeasuring over 2200 sft for anything between Rs 1.3 crore to Rs 2.5 crore, depending on the location and specifications. For instance, an exclusive independent-floor apartment admeasuring 2200 sft in Sainikpuri or Yapral could cost approximately Rs 1.5 crore How do ‘standalone building apartments’ stack-up against ‘gated community high-rise apartments’ in Hyderabad? Smaller standalone buildings are being preferred for undeniable advantages they offer despite not being high on amenities A gated community offer more amenities, but they cost more! The buyer is required to bear the cost of additional amenities like swimming-pool, gym, clubhouse etc. which they may NOT even use In a standalone building, the same additional payout is diverted to buy a more spacious apartment for the same money! Gated community apartments in Hyderabad are usually located in far-flung areas. These high-rise apartments are usually far away shopping hubs of that locality. The social infrastructure in and around high-rise gated communities is not well developed. Even if the gated community are located in very well developed areas like Madhapur, these apartments are usually more expensive than their standalone building counterparts Standalone buildings are not only much more affordable regardless of where they are located. They allow much greater all-round flexibility to home buyers seeking multiple advantages, comfort and conveniences 10 undeniable benefits of a ‘standalone building apartment’ Time to possession is shorter because these are usually 5-storey apartments in low-density residential areas. They can be easily constructed and handed-over within 15 to 18 months from launch date The standalone building comes-up in front of your eyes, and you can watch the construction progress personally Location advantage along with access to a well-developed social infrastructure Locations are normally more peaceful, serene, green and safe environments in residential colonies where these apartments come-up Customization is possible as builders are more flexible to suit you specific preferences Specifications and luxury element can be same or sometimes even better than gated-community apartments. This is especially true for apartments where you own the entire floor- ‘One Floor, One Apartment Residences’! Sense of privacy is more, and lesser human movement since the number of visitors are much lesser The security can in fact be more tight compared to gated-community apartment with CCTV cover, and security-guards managed by professional agencies Easy access to markets close-by owing to better social infrastructure A true value-for-money option since you do NOT pay for unnecessary amenities that are offered in gated community apartments The decision of a home-buyer depends on what they seek! The ‘standalone building segment’ is definitely a lucrative and a very sensible alternative to the ‘gated-community segment’!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Buying a 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad?

In this article we shall get a basic understanding of HMDA, and the TS-bPASS, plus what they mean for those seeking a dream home in Hyderabad. The idea is to learn a bit about- (i) the civic authority of HMDA, and (ii) about the landmark TS-bPASS system implemented in Telangana. The HMDA The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) was formed by an Act in 2008 with over 7,000 Square Kilometres under its jurisdiction. This is an urban planning body was formed by merging the existing bodies– (1) Hyderabad Urban Development Authority, (2) Hyderabad Airport Development Authority, (3) Cyberabad Development Authority (CDA), and (4) Buddha Purnima Project Authority (BPPA). HMDA was set up to plan, co-ordinate, supervise, promote and secure the planned development of Hyderabad Metropolitan Region. HMDA includes 7 Districts, 70 Mandals, 1032 Villages which also encompasses the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). As per the HMDA official website- HMDA is the second largest urban development in terms of area in India, and is chaired by the Telangana Chief Minister. As per the new master plan the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region the territorial spread includes: i. Tooran along National Highway 7 (North of Hyderabad) ii. Bhongir along the National Highway 202 (East of Hyderabad) iii. Choutuppal National Highway 9 (South-East of Hyderabad) iv. Yacharam along Nagarjunasagar State Highway (South of Hyderabad) v. Kandukur along Srisailam State Highway vi. Shadnagar along the National Highway 7 (South-West of Hyderabad) vii. Chevella and Aloor along Vikarabad State Highway viii. Sangareddy (Medak district) along National Highway 9 (West of Hyderabad) Telangana State Building Permissions and Self Certification System (TS-bPASS) TS-bPASS is a single window approval system for building permissions meant to reduce the hassles for applicants, by simplifying the building permission process. Earlier the system was implemented for structures equal to or less than 500 square metres or 600 square yards, and now has gone up to plots admeasuring 2000 square metres. For the first time ever, self-certification was introduced, and no building plan was needed to be submitted to obtain permission. The applicants are required to simply adhere to the setbacks mentioned by GHMC in the permission proceedings, violations of which would lead to penalisation. In a landmark move, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) issued a Government Order in Telangana to facilitate the poor in the State to buy small plots to construct their dream home. This means that developers are now allowed to develop 60-yard plots in layouts. Salient features of the TS-bPASS Act Under this new Act for HMDA layout approval process, the municipalities and GHMC are required to grant permission within 21 days failing it is automatically granted on the 22nd day Thus, TS-bPASS makes every applicant/citizen responsible. This ensures that they adhere to the building and layout permission rules Implications of TS-bPASS It is important for home buyers to know about these regulations which are a big relief from the past, and helps make the dream home with ease, and comparative peace of mind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Buying a 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad?

Standalone building residential flats proving to lucrative option for 3BHK homebuyers in Hyderabad
Standalone building residential flats proving to lucrative option for 3BHK homebuyers in Hyderabad With urban centers becoming more chaotic, home seekers in Hyderabad are increasingly turning to apartments in ‘standalone buildings’ for the location advantage and sense of SPACIOUSNESS they offer. Most of the standalone building projects are located in low-density, established residential colonies that offer better social distancing opportunities and cleaner air. Some of these colonies offer much-needed peace and greenery which creates a serene environment for the residents. For instance, the locale of Sainikpuri and Yapral (in Hyderabad) are pockets of bountiful greenery with the Armed Forces green cover all-around it, making it an extremely clean & lush-green area to live in. Gone are the days that you could NOT expect high-quality construction quality with discernible amenities. The standalone building apartments come are a variety of price-range that includes both mid-range high-end apartments as well as the more-expensive luxury segment loaded with many enviable specifications. For instance, in a place like Sainikpuri or Yapral, the cluster apartment mid-range segment of apartment costs Rs 4000 to Rs 5500 per sft. The luxury homes with superior specifications range up to Rs 6500 per sft within the standalone building segment. So, the higher the price, the better the specifications even in the standalone building segment! It is logical: luxury comes at a price. Gladly, home buyers are increasingly preferring to pay for better specifications of all that is provided inside the home. Standalone buildings are being preferred because home buyers are finding more sense in paying for MORE SPACE rather than paying for amenities that are SHARED (like in gated-community apartments).

How do standalone building flats measure-up against gated community apartments? The biggest advantage of standalone buildings is that these can be constructed with impeccable finesse within the preferred locales of the city owing to the smaller residential plots needed to construct them. What a home buyer needs to do is to evaluate the past projects as well as the specifications being offered by the builders of standalone properties. With more space and high-end offerings in the residential market, standalone buildings are a lucrative option for 3 BHK homebuyers in Hyderabad. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Buying a 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad?

They co-own multiple factories. This has resulted in cost-economies due to cross-utilization and sharing of operations and strategic resources Morbi rose to being a ceramic cluster over the last four decades. The place was already a vibrant building products manufacturing hub, so the transition was seamless History behind the rise of Morbi as a Ceramic hub While Morbi was famous for roof tiles- ‘Naliya’, in the mid-80s, local entrepreneurs began importing machines discarded by ceramic clusters in Italy and Spain While a 55% duty on import of capital goods was prevalent in the 1980’s, Small and Medium Enterprises were exempt up to the limit of Rs 1 crore. This led to the entrepreneurs installing ceramic tile machines Now Morbi has switch over to vitrified tiles as well as bathroom accessories and fitting made out of ceramics Technical understanding on ceramic manufacturing has been immensely high.

Others are sourcing from them on contract basis One of the important events that went in favor of Morbi was the Vibrant Ceramic Expo held in 2016 and 2017. More than 5,000 customers and builders across India have been visiting Morbi every month for the premium quality of ceramic products in the offering at a very competitive price. The lower cost of production because of the easy availability of raw material required for manufacturing ceramic products has been the hallmark of the competitive advantage enjoyed by Morbi. Raw materials account for 50% of the cost of ceramic products, with manufacturing plants closer to the source of raw materials (China clay, that’s bulky), the freight cost is minimized. Subsidies given by Gujarat State Govt., the price of gas and other items are also lower. These cost-saves further result in manufacturers producing premium quality ceramic products, and the cost-saves are passed on to consumers. Owing to the high and International quality standards, Morbi manufacturers are able to export ceramics outside of India. With over, 800 manufacturers in the cluster, the number is only expected to further grow in the years ahead! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Buying a 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad?
