5 Precautions to Take When Buying A New House

“Home is where you feel loved, appreciated and safe” – Trace Taylor. This statement is where the real estate industry revolves around, for it knows the emotions of its customers or clients.
Buying a house is an event important enough ads it involves investing a considerably large amount of money. Although many people today manage to buy a home through savings, others largely depend on financial loans to fulfill their dreams of owning a house.
Consumers mostly rely on the existing reputation of the builder, though the approach isn’t right as perfect paperwork should be the foremost criterion to buy a new house. Caution should be maintained and a check must be kept if the builder has the essential paperwork done before investing in a particular project.
It is important to check the builder’s credibility on different forums. A check on their past projects worked, their reputation and their work attributes will help in deciding better on which builder to choose for your home.
Here are the 5 things that need to be taken care of as precautionary care, before buying a house: -
Check The Title Deed
It is of prime importance to review the title deed of the land on which the property is based on. The deed will not only give the consumers clarity about the pros and cons of the property but will also help them understand the actual scenario, be it – ownership, sale or transfer of ownership rights. This deed will also clarify on any existing litigation concerning the property.
Review the Intimation of Disapproval Documentation
The permissions, as well as “No Objection Certificates” are the documents that comprise of the Intimation of Disapproval. It acts as a declaration for the builder where he obtains permissions from different departments like the - Storm Water and Drain Department, Forest Department, Traffic and Coordination Department, Environment Department and others at the various stages of construction. A commencement certificate is what that must also be checked along with these for it allows the builder to start the construction on legal terms.
Check the Certificate of Encumbrance
You would never want your investment in real estate that has pending litigations or any monetary liabilities. Usually, these facts are hidden from the customers but exercising caution on your behalf by having a look at the encumbrance certificate is a mandate. It helps in confirming the fact that the land is free from every kind of legal issue.
Know the Layout Plans
With real estate scams cropping up in the market, one should verify the layout plan documents before actually putting in money. Reviewing the documents and checking if they had been authenticated by the respective authorities is a must. Insisting on having a look at the occupancy certificate implies on the knowledge of the customer as well as a check on the developer that every kind of litigation has been cleared with.
Verifying the Purchase Agreement
When all the above processes have been cleared with, checking the purchase agreement is important. Every minute detail regarding the payment details, construction, specifications regarding the apartment, deadlines and penalties are mentioned in this document.

Effects of Latest Technology on Real Estate Industry

Technology is growing and evolving with each passing day and the real estate industry is already trying to cope up with it.

Many of the big players are into upgrading their proprietary technological solutions, while others are spending a lot into customized applications. It has already been seen before in other industries - everybody wants to be on the upper hand in this ever growing competition. History is witness to these evolutions; however, reinvention is most of the time an unnecessary demand as it leads to further fragmentation and makes industries less competitive. While industries that are technologically advanced have already moved from a restricted-use model long ago and have embraced an outsourced consumption model whereas the real estate industry, has not yet indulged into it. The technology is out, but now, the desire to advance from the traditional way of has been getting old-fashioned at a rapid rate.

Here are some technologies that own the potential to become a necessity in the real estate industry:

1. Indulging Into Virtual Reality (VR): - One of the most infamous applications that are becoming rapidly popular among the consumers and businesses today, as it is easy-to-use and user-friendly for real estate, is - virtual reality (VR). Advanced realtors are already shifting beyond the regular photos, the 360-degree videos that seemed larger than life at some point of time and are into offering their clients 3D “tours” on the virtual property on their digital devices. Different levels of 3D aggregators are always on the market, but they still belong in the early days for acing the real estate industry.

2. The Cloud: - Is another platform with a wide-ranging effect that takes on the closing procedure. Since the closures have always been a pain for any real estate player, The Cloud has been a savior. With better data management applications, the whole procedure can now be streamlined for commercial as well as residential purchase purposes with electronic signatures. These indicate simplification of lengthy procedures that often consumed days or even weeks.

3. Usage of Blockchain: - The perfect place for the cryptocurrencies in the real estate transactions. Blockchain’s security, transparency, as well as efficiency in innovations, are what actually matters to real estate buyers, sellers and/or renters. Transparency is what actually concerns the buyers, renters and the sellers, which Blockchain ensures totally.

The real estate industry still lies in the beginning stage of technological innovations. Since it’s just the beginning, what we can do is be patient and not underestimate the potential of growth of this industry. With the 21st century bringing in dynamic changes to the world as a whole, we can surely expect home buying experience to be more interesting yet user-friendly and informative for all the players involved.

Affordable Housing and Sustainable Development Goals

Affordable housing is basically defined as housing units that are affordable by a particular section of society whose income lies below the median household income. By median household income, we mean the amount that divides the distribution of income into two groups – where one half is the income above that breakeven level and the other half, which lies below it.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – also known as Global Goals, are the basic targets which are to be met for ensuring peace, prosperity as well as sustainability for all. There are a total of 17 goals, as mentioned below: -
a. No Poverty.
b. Zero Hunger.
c. Good health and well-being.
d. Quality Education.
e. Gender Equality.
f. Clean water and sanitation.
g. Affordable and clean energy.
h. Decent work and economic growth.
i. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.
j. Reduced Inequalities.
k. Sustainable Cities and Communities.
l. Responsible consumption and production.
m. Climate Action.
n. Life below water.
o. Life on Land.
p. Peace, Justice and strong Institutions.
q. Partnerships for the goals.
The world’s cities tend to occupy just 3% of the total available land on Earth, but it accounts for approximately 60 to 80% of the total energy consumption as well as 3/4th of all the carbon emissions. Rapid urbanization is pressurizing on the limited supplies of fresh water, sewage and public health. Our urban world is growing at a rapid rate but is experiencing high levels of congestion, a considerable lack of basic services, an acute shortage inadequate housing, and the declining infrastructure. More than one-third of the world’s urban population live in slums, which is a matter of great concern.
Cities are the driving engines for sustainable development. They are the hubs for ideas, commerce, science, culture and productivity. Urban spaces not only offer good opportunities for people to prosper socio-economically but also the decent job opportunities that one aspires for as well as the land resources that aren’t overwhelmed by growth. An unplanned expansion that is taking place where the cities tend to spill beyond their boundaries can have a detrimental effect to the development planning of our nation as well as on the sustainable development goals that ensure sustainable development. Our urban spaces are some of the major emitters of the harmful greenhouse gases and contribute greatly to climate change as almost half of the global urban population breathes the air that is approximately 2.5 times more polluted than the deemed acceptable standards set by the World Health Organization.
There is no doubt about the ambitious 2030 SDGs, but, to turn them into a reality we should think innovatively for providing the housing facilities and addressing the challenges that arrive with the factor of affordability.
We need encouragement for innovative and inclusive housing finance systems that include incentives for housing finance providers who give low-income groups and the alternative financial institutions money for low-cost housing. Promoting new approaches to collateralization, guarantee mechanisms and financial products that are adapted to gradual building processes.
The future of cities depends on better availability and accessibility to adequate housing to be provided for all. Placing affordable housing as the prime focus for national and local urban agendas can be instrumental in getting this goal and equality of opportunities in the urban development procedure.
