Real estate investment in India has been the most preferred choice of most investors. Not only Indian investors but the international investors too have shown their specific interest in this sector. As a result, tremendous growth of Indian real estate sector is being recognized by the world. The financial analysts see the period last 5-6 years just the starting. According to the financial analysis, India offers ideal conditions that are needed by the real estate sector to flourish. Many investors find it difficult to identify the ideal location to purchase property. Almost any metro city is good choice; however, buying property in New Delhi or NCR has extra edge over other options.

New Delhi is surrounded by Faridabad, Gurgaon, Noida, Sonipat like industrial and commercial areas. All of these have established their international repute for offering most competitive business solutions. Many international companies are planning to establish their set ups in New Delhi or in NCR. Government’s support to rope in international investors also makes it wise decision to purchase property in New Delhi or in surrounding areas. Though all the commercial properties in New Delhi or in surrounding areas seem attractive but few upcoming are more promising. For example, MalhanOne commercial suits near Ashram chowk, The Commonwealth near world famous Akshardham Temple, Business Park in Sector 75 Noida, Ansals Classique Tower near Rajouri Garden etc are good options to invest with better expectancy of handsome return.

Consistent industrial growth and promising Indian IT sector is attracting international talent to India. Most of them find India a good place to boost up their career growth and decide to stay here for longer period.  The considerable increase in salaries of Indian professionals is another big reason that boosts up the sale and rental value of residential properties. Parkwood Westend located in Sector 92 Gurgaon, Ramprastha Builders Edge Towers in Sec 37D Gurgaon, Castlewood near Okhla, Paramount near Subash Nagar are good options for the investors, who have special interest in buying residential property in or around New Delhi.

Real estate investment in New Delhi or in NCR has fetched around 15-20% annual yield. New Delhi real estate sector will continue to rise steadily. Therefore, the decision to purchase property in New Delhi or in surrounding areas wouldn’t let you down ever. However, property management has been the problem for some investors but now many companies offer such services at very nominal cost.

Delhi, the capital city of India, is expanding fast. Because of its fast pace transformation, it is attracting the attention of investors from India and abroad as well. If someone likes to earn handsomely being at home with peace of mind, to buy commercial property in Delhi or NCR is the best option. I see many factors that make this option a favorite choice of thousands of smart investors.

Delhi is surrounded by Faridabad, Gurgaon and Gaziabad like industrial towns that have registered their presence in global industrial market. If Gurgaon has emerged as the IT hub during last couple of years, Faridabad, and Gaziabad have emerged as most competitive industrial towns. The growth rate is so fast that the available business space seems short in every corner of Delhi. Today, to have business setup in or around Delhi has become the necessity; therefore, real estate experts confirm the steady rise in the prices of commercial property.

Judging the shortage of commercial space in Delhi or NCR despite numerous on going projects, investors from all over the world are flying into the capital. The major concern is which one is the best project to invest in. I think following few commercial properties have good investment potential:

•    Omaxe Citadel-  170,000 sqft – Jasola Vihar, South Delhi.
•    Southern Park – 2,00,000 sq.ft. – Next to PVR Saket and Marriot Hotel
•    TDI Center- 1,40,000 sq.ft- Jasola
•    Shop In Park East- Surajmal Vihar Road by KLJ Town Planners Pvt. Ltd
•    Plaza Gardenia – Mehrauli by Ardee Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.
•    KLJ Tower North – Pitampura by KLJ Town Planners Pvt. Ltd.

There is no shortage of upcoming commercial property projects but still the balance between demand and availability of commercial property is far to achieve. The estimated growth rate and difference in demand and availability is the most promising factor that inspires the investors to buy commercial property in Delhi or in NCR.

Many people come to me to know the future prospects of their real estate investments. It surprises me that many investors got just 10% p.a. return in last two years. If return is so low then what is the benefit of freezing such a huge amount for years. Many of these investors made their deals through leading Real Estate Consultants. I think at least 18% return in real estate investment is not a bad expectation. But the stories of hundreds of real estate investors, I know, reflect the other picture of the real estate; while it is not so according to my opinion. What are the reasons responsible for low return?
Generally, first time real estate investors invest in real estate being attracted with lucrative promises made in the advertisements. They never bother to investigate into the realities. Although most of the builders try to keep their promises but many circumstances make the situation beyond their controls. In India, many projects are announced prior to the completion of paper work and other legal formalities. Many times things don’t take shape according to the expectations of builders that results in split of major funding sources. Unexpected rise in building material also delay the projects. But should the real estate investors, who invest their money through Real Estate Consultant, go in such deep details?
I think it is must. There is no shortage of Real Estate Consultants in Delhi or in every major town. Each of these promises of reliable services. Generally, new consultants fail to assess the future trends successfully because they don’t have sufficiently reliable information sources in the real estate market. It is must to deal only with reputed Real Estate Consultant, who has proven track record. The other aspect that needs special emphasis while selecting the consultant is the standard and variety of services. Leading real estate consultants offer wide array of allied services inconvenient mode that keep the investors tension free. Many of these offer freedom to withdraw the invested money if not satisfied with the return rate. As most of the information is available online; so, it is easy for the investors to assess the future trends. Almost all the leading real estate consultants have launched their websites, so they have better exposure globally; it means that your property comes across to more buyers.
What I suggest is that never compromise with market reputation, standard and facilities like parameters while selecting the real estate consultant.

Even the two years after when most countries have declared themselves out of the grip of recession, people are still feeling the heat of that. They are looking for safe methods to recover the financial setbacks. Options are many but property investment seems the best. Reports in financial magazines and other news channels also support this view. These sources are encouraging the people to make investment in real estate. As property investment in major cities has extra edge; therefore, the focus of investor’s research is particular place. Real estate experts state that Delhi and NCR has better return potential.

I see that many people, who intend to purchase property in Delhi, Ghaziabad, Faridabad or Gurgaon etc,    directly approach to property management companies without doing any homework before. It is a wrong practice. First of all they should be familiar with investment parameters like investment period; expected return; future use; loaning amount; nature of preferred property and location etc.

To ensure the handsome return, selection of right Real Estate Consultant is must. The selected Real Estate consultant should have proven history of providing comprehensive property management services. Whether you decide to buy flat in Delhi or to buy commercial property in Delhi, selected property management agency should provide all the related services without involving you in routine formalities. It should have impressive portfolio for catering the real estate services of your interest.
Many local residents try to sideline property management or real estate service providers to save their service charges. But, the involvement of real estate consultant always pays back in many forms by making the deals more secured and convenient. After investing in real estate, its look after is as important as is purchasing the new property. Property management service providers know better the latest developments in the real estate market; therefore, you may update your knowledge anytime to analyze the rate of escalation.
On the basis of my experience, I can say that by being a ‘awaken, alert and smart’ property investor, you can turn the table in favor even if you have invested in dull property.
