Key factors to consider when purchasing property in Mumbai
by Ankita Sehgal Freelance Blogger, Lives in New DelhiWhen it comes to buying a new home in the
metro city area, there are many factors that come into consideration. There are
location advantages that certain zones offer over others, and then there are
connectivity benefits that might be more attractive to buyers. Real estate
thought leaders, including Vinod Goenka of DB Realty, recommend
finding the right property that fits in within your requirements.
Added to that, Mumbai is a growing market
with a wide range in residential and commercial properties. Buyers have a
diverse set of properties to peruse through, without compromising on quality or
budget range. Even at the outskirts of the city, lie wide spaces and upcoming properties
that offer community living and green surroundings.
There are universal benefits to opting
for the perfect property in the right location, which is why these key factors
are critical to review.
Property type & price range
Buyers should start by understanding their
preferred property style and type, as well as their comfort level with price
ranges. This is a great first step to finding the right property in the city.
Mumbai is one of the few metros in the world that has a multitude of property
types to offer a few kilometres apart. This makes the scouting process much
easier for first time buyers.
There are also unique advantages offered by
opting for different types of homes as well. 2BHK, 4BHK, and high risers come
with their own set of benefits that buyers can take advantage of. A high-rise
project may offer that perfect skyline view, but a 2BHK may invite that cosy
comforting energy. It’s all about how a space makes you feel, when it comes to
selecting between home types.
Location of the property
Location is key when it comes to buying
property in Mumbai. There are various suburbs within the city that offer unique
advantages to home buyers. A location such as Bandra, may offer a beach-life
balance and Thane may present you with the quintessential spacious living. In
fact, prominent developers in Thane, including Vinod Goenka, offer
properties that are well connected to the main city as well.
There are also price advantages gained when
opting for the east side of the city. Ville Parle and Andheri East are upcoming
areas with large projects underway. These areas offer great residential
properties that are developed within a mid-high range of pricing.
Upcoming and existing developments
A natural distinction between existing and
upcoming projects brings a plethora of new opportunities for buyers. They can
opt for different schemes offered by major developers and find the right
property depending on their goals. While upcoming developments bring innovation
and new light, existing properties are reliable with constituent residents.
New development builders collaborate with
potential buyers about prospective additions to the property, making it more
customizable. Buyers can negotiate on extending spacing, breaking down walls or
adding separation. Depending on the preferences of the buyer, the developer may
allow certain modifications to be executed.
Community, connectivity, & growth
The community aspect that a property brings
is invaluable. If buyers are choosing their next home to live in, it’s
important to live with like-minded families. Additionally, if the property is
well connected to schools, hospitals and main highways, then that plays an
important role in the decision process as well.
There are also considerations to be made
when it comes to the growth of the local market. If a certain area has grown in
market rate over the last few years, then the perfect time to buy would be now.
The resale value of the property is a key metric to consider.
