When it comes to investing in plotted development or villa projects, there are several things to keep in mind. Firstly, it is essential to check the ownership title of the land. One should also check if the land is agricultural or non-agricultural.
While investing in land, one should understand the difference between agricultural land or non-agricultural land. We need to be doubly sure about the ownership title of the project. In fact, investors should get the legal due diligence of the project done before investing their money.
According to experts, investors can expect reasonable returns from a plotted development asset. Prices of plotted development projects have appreciated 4X in the last six years. We foresee this trend to continue over the next few years.
Infrastructure developments in MMR have led to increased interest among investors, especially for areas such as Manor-Palghar, and Kasara-Igatpuri. Cities like Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and even NCR have seen considerable interest in plotted development projects.
Land has appreciated on average in India by 18-20% on a per annum basis whereas appreciation for residential properties hovers around 10-12% on an average across India. The thrust on infrastructure development - where metro cities are being connected to tier-2 and tier 3 cities and towns - has ensured this growth.
