How is DTCP different from HMDA?

You might have heard of these terms – DTCP & HMDA, everywhere whenever you encountered a real estate consultant. Why do they sound so similar? What’s the difference anyway? This blog will elaborate on the details as to why there are two distinct regulatory authorities overlooking the same field (pun, intended).

Let’s begin with knowing what they actually mean – DTCP stands for Directorate of Town and Country Planning, and HMDA stands for Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority.

Director of Town and Country Planning

The primary duties and functions of the Director of Town and Country Planning can be bifurcated into three categories – technical statutory functions, technical non-statutory functions and advisory functions.

Challenges and how to overcome them while buying a plot

Challenges and how to overcome them while buying a plot

Buying land is the most preferred and most reliable form of investment when it comes to investing in the real estate industry. Also, due to the outbreak of the pandemic, demand for plotted developments has skyrocketed as self-owned homes, villas, or row houses, provide better social distancing as compared to apartments. People wishing to buy land for their personal use or as a form of investment have to be aware of certain factors that help make the process of buying simple.

Paperwork

Paperwork can be complex owing to new terms and due to indulgence in never before like experience. However, it is one of the most significant processes to ensure secure ownership of land. The very important paperwork you’ll be needing to take care of is – Title deed. This document ensures that the seller of the property has undisputed legal ownership of the land to be sold. Having a clear title helps you own a property through an authentic process. Be it agricultural land, residential plot or commercial investment plot ensuring no unclear deeds is a must. A clear title deed once received should be checked, scrutinized thoroughly and one must not accept a photocopy of the title deed. The land must be in the name of the seller and must be checked for having full rights to sell the land. One can cross-check the authenticity of the document by running a ‘title search’ on the registration website of the state government. A lawyer can be consulted to ensure the same. Another document that helps you confirm if the land has any legal dues pending is – Encumbrance certificate. One must check the encumbrance certificate for at least 30 years. A resale certificate is issued by the bank which ensures that the seller has cleared all the loans on the property. Having this certificate improves the credibility of land being debt-free.

Land use

One of the biggest risks that buyers usually face is whether they are buying agricultural land or one which is meant for residential projects. Cities often expand rapidly with no master plan and subsume the suburbs including vast agricultural lands. Agricultural lands are usually closer to the city and are priced lower which should be alarming. So, one must check with the revenue office of the zone before one chooses to sign any land deal.

Purpose and location

Different purposes of buying land set parameters for deciding the location. One panning to build a home should strategically lock a location that is near the workplace. A farmhouse or weekend getaway home can be constructed far from the city. One planning to develop the land for commercial purposes must consider hotspots in the city. Varied structures serving various purposes demand different locations and hence one should be clear with the purpose of buying land.

Transaction obstructions

Usually, circle rates do not match market rates of the area and hence land transactions may demand high cash component. This can leave you in a challenging situation as banks may not fund the entire cash required for the transaction, in case you are taking a loan to buy land.

Lack of tax benefits

Banks offer loans mainly for residential plots located within the municipal limits; even there, they offer only 70% of the total value of the land and the buyer has to arrange the rest.

At TMR Group, we uphold the value of transparency to not just have a transaction with our customers but to build an everlasting bond. We understand the significance of legal processes and hence our team ensures that each of our transactions happens through proper guidance. Even if a new buyer is not aware of the terms and functionality, our team members spell each term for them to understand and take steps accordingly to ensure seamlessness.

The plus side of customization – Investors Perspective

The plus side of customization – Investors’ Perspective

One of the most reliable and benefiting types of investment today is an investment in plots. Owing to the high demand for land in residential or commercial development, investing in plots stands as the best choice. Buying a plot as an investment also stands as an asset helping secure one’s future. Investing in plots becomes financial security and the chances of facing losses in this kind of investment are almost rare.

Agriculture Plots

Due to the ever-growing demand for food worldwide, agriculture plots are rising in demand all across. Reports suggest that the world’s population is increasing by 50 million annually and this is resulting in increased demand in the food supply. The rise in need for food calls for more land that can be utilized for farming. That’s why agriculture plots are in high demand all across. In India, income earned through farmland is free from taxation which adds more value to the plot. Owning an agriculture plot is a rewarding long-term wealth creation opportunity and is a stable profit-producing asset. It’s estimated that by 2030 agriculture producers will have to support a population of around eight billion people. Such an assured spike in demand spells the need in the future and also stands an opportunity for investors to be on the profit side by investing in Agriculture Plots. One assured growth after buying an agriculture plot is that the value of the land multiplies with time and re-selling the plot can reap more benefits.

NA Plots

A non-agricultural plot is a piece of land on which construction of any kind (bungalow, office, shop, industrial unit, etc.) is permissible. Hyderabad, being a prime destination for IT working professionals, the value of real estate here is ever-growing. And in this ever-evolving city, chances of getting towering rewards are always high. NA plots offer great flexibility for either using them as an investment or to develop as the need arises. One can utilize NA plots as leisure by converting into a weekend gate away location or can develop it as a commercial property. In comparison to commercial property, NA plots come with nearly no maintenance policy. The only need is to keep checking it time-to-time and that’s all that is required. One can sell away the property at the right time when prices are soaring and reap good financial profits. Such plots stand as a utility option and add more value to the plus side of customization for investors or buyers.

At TMR Group, we locate lands at strategic locations that hold high value or would stand very significant in the near future. Such land is then made available for investors or buyers to help them benefit them in the longer run. One vital insight to consider before buying a property here for investment is the ever-growing love for the city. Hyderabad commercial real estate has seen 172% growth in the last five years which spells the importance of having land in the city. So, fulfill your aspirations by purchasing land with TMR and reaping matchless rewards for growth.
