Should I book a flat which is not yet sanctioned by PMC?
I liked one project opposite Pu La Deshpande Udyan on Sinhagad Road. It has 5 high rise towers. I chose a flat on higher floors. This floor is not yet sanctioned. If I book that flat today - by paying 10% of the agreement value - I can get a substantial rate benefit - means I will get today's rate. The flat agreement will be signed & registered after the builder obtains PMC sanction - means approximately after a year or so. Ravi Karandeekar, my question is - should I book today or wait for PMC sanction? A lady asked.
Sorry. I didn't get you. What is the question? I asked.
I want to know - Is there any risk involved? Is this builder reliable? Since you know so many builders - I thought that I should ask you before booking. The lady said.
Thanks for asking! Are you married? I asked.
Yes! 20 years. I am a working mother of a college going daughter. The lady said.
Good! What will be your reply if your daughter asks you - "Mummy, a boy in my class is asking for sex - I refused - but he keeps on asking - can I have sex with him?". I asked.
No one will dare to ask. My daughter is not like that. I have raised her well. The lady said.
You are angry! Why? I asked.
My Sanskars! My daughter is well groomed. She is open & free. But not sultry. The lady said.
Sure. But what about you? I asked.
What about me? The lady asked.
Do people come to you with indecent proposals? Like - spend a night with me & I will give you a promotion! I asked.
Stop this nonsense. Talk about the builder. Not about my personal life. The lady said.
Did you ever ask yourself - How come this builder dared to ask me to book a flat which is not yet sanctioned by PMC? You know lady? Your builder's suggestion is as immoral as your daughter's classmate's invitation for sex. Your builder's proposal is as indecent as your boss's offer to spend a night with him for promotion. I said.
I don't think so. Pre booking - advance booking is a normal business practice. Of course, there is a risk. But there isn't anything wrong about it. The lady said.
Okay. Please, call Urban Development Minister, Venkaiah Naidu and request him to scrap Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. Tell him that there is no need to prevent the builders from accepting bookings before obtaining all necessary sanctions & approvals. Flat buyers need no protection. Flat buyers don't need RERA! I said.

ReplyDeleteThe project in question it seems is Cityscapes by crook Guardian developers on banks of Mutha sewage, right Ravi ?

Buying ready possession flat with all approvals is the way to go looking how buyers are being conned by crook builders but here we see yedas buying under-construction flat which is not even sanctioned. And these are the same people who will roam around later saying how they were fooled by builder.
If a bakra voluntarily goes to slaughter-house, why blame owner of slaughter-house ? These super yedas should form a NGO - Being Ulloo !
Since this blog was on mother-daughter, just remembered this news -
Benami Act: Buying property in mother's name can land you in jail for 7 years -
According to the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Act 2016, which came into force on November 1, last year unless you are a joint holder in the property with your mother, father, or sibling you could go to jail for indulging in benami transactions.
The Act is already being enforced by the IT Department. A senior finance minister official told DNA on Monday that it had issued 87 notices and attached bank deposits worth crores in 42 cases nationwide under the amended Benami Transactions Act 2016.

And see how builders are going bankrupt & offering 50% discount.
Home-buyers are waiting for rate cuts before firming up their purchase plans -
In October 2016, a Mumbai builder who runs a business worth roughly Rs 500 crore was compelled to sell 1 lakh square feet of an upcoming residential project in the western suburb of Kandivali at Rs 6,500 per sq ft when the going rate was around double that.
These are Pune figures of flats -
Launches in 2012 - about 56000 units, in 2016 it is down to just 20000 units, a 64% fall, while sales too have fallen by 34% in same period.

Ek number!
DeleteI am surprised to read your comments. One of my friends is searching for flat in Mumbai around kandivali, dahisar. Having gone through posting on 99acres, mb, one can figure out asking rates are between 13-18k. I don't think there is any sort of price correction or so. What is your opinion regarding this?
DeleteBroker websites will only show you rosy pictures even for projects which are delayed or abandoned ! Major fall is being witnessed across India, only the thing is it's not made public. Show seriousness alongwith a cheque book & see the calls which you get. I have already posted some Pune examples in Ravi's earlier blogs of projects around NIBM which are offering atleast 35% discount. And as far as this Mumbai issue is concerned, I have put the link above from economic times, so be assured that this is not imaginary.
DeleteProblem with hoarders, builders, agents is they only think 1-2 ka 4 but don't understand that artificially inflated prices can make the product go out of the market one day.
Coming back to this blog of yedi buying without sanctions, one more such news -

Ravi sir message is very clear and indeed very right. No one should even think to book for flat which are not having PMC approvals and necessary permissions or paper work not done. Here he is trying to educate us that what is immoral in real estate and why immoral has become business practice is bcoz it’s shown as attractive beneficial business ways. We are not having enough knowledge and people who correct us we don’t like and take it on our personal egos. Please go for flat booking when you have checked below documents-
ReplyDelete1.Sale Deed/Title deed /Mother deed/Conveyance Deed
2.RTC Extracts
3.Katha Certificate and Extracts
4.Mutation Register Extracts
5.Joint Development Agreement
6.General Power of Attorney
7.Building plan sanctioned by the Statutory Authority
8.NOC from Electricity Deptt/Pollution Control Board/Water Works/ Air Port Authority
9.Supplementary agreement / Ratification Deed (if any)
10.Allotment Letter from the Builder/Co-Operative Society/Housing Board/BDA.
11.Sale Agreement between Builder and 1st Owner
12.Construction Agreement between Builder & 1st Owner
13.Latest Tax Paid Receipt till Date of Registration (Property Tax/Municipal Tax etc)
14.Encumbrance Certificate up to date for latest 13 years or from the date of registration till date
15.Demand Letter from the vendor before disbursement
16.Approved plan of construction/extension & license for construction.
17.Detailed cost estimate/valuation report from Chartered Engineer/Architect (if applicable)
18.Conversion order/Betterment Charges paid receipt.
19.Sanctioned Layout Approval plan
20.Release deed (If applicable)
21.Loan/Charge/Mortgage by the Builder
After checking these docs take service of lawyer and once everything is verified then only book flat. Last but not least let’s be honest and thankful to people like Ravindra Karandeekar who are helping us to educate ourselves and bring general awareness of wrong practice in real estate. Since 2014 I am in touch with him and never ever I saw him giving wrong advice. He is very much approachable and very knowledgeable.
I always like the way you are explaining ...

Builder uses borewell, society calls for tankers -
ReplyDeleteResidents of Amit Colori, a society in Undri, have approached the sarpanch Shweta Ghule requesting action against extraction of groundwater for construction in the vicinity of their residential complex.
Amit Colori, a complex of six residential buildings, is home to over 170 families living here since 2012. According to the residents, more than 10 water tankers are being called every day, leading to monthly water bills of almost Rs 3 lakh.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/builder-uses-borewell-society-calls-for-tankers/articleshow/56989656.cms
This is one more case how Amit enterprises fools it's buyers. Even worse is case with Amit Sereno, now 24k Sereno by Kolte patil where the project is not even 20% complete even after 4.5 years !
The above news should help buyers understand the importance of infrastructure required for leading a human life before buying a flat.
3 lakhs/ 170 = Rs.1764 only, per flat per month. No big deal when you are already paying EMI of 30,000
