RISK IS MANAGEABLE

Real estate is fraught with risk. Especially in developing cities where the rules and zoning systems are evolving… It is a kind of high risk scenario for which there are three components in the ecosystem that are responsible and kind of queer the pitch which is not always advantageous to you – the buyer who believes that there is adequate knowledge and the decision is a well considered one not knowing that there is more than just what meets the eyes in a real estate buying situation; the seller who in anxiety or with an intention to present half truths is in a hurry to close the sale; the third being the kind of middleman who will voice the buyer or seller whichever one seeks his/her services. What is it you will end up with? Possibly confusion, inadequate knowledge and even a bad decision? Do City advisory means making your good decisions better and bidding a goodbye to a bad decision. We lessen risk by bringing in relevant information, intuitive knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of the revenue jurisdictions, city development authorities, zoning and all the relevant inputs that bring transparency into the real estate decision process. Risk is manageable that is a Do City belief.

POOLING FUTURES, POOLING LAND

Hyderabad is ripe for land pooling of a unique kind. A globally rated city and fast growing metropolis it is surrounded by vast tracts of land that are small rural parcels which have the potential to be assembled into larger, commercially more attractive pieces for development. Deploying our knowledge of government policies and networks, we can bring to the table a unique approach to land pooling. We can conceptualise, plan and execute the infrastructure in a planned manner and return the reconstituted land to the owners, after deducting the cost of the provision of infrastructure and public spaces by the sale of some of serviced land.

What we are aware of :

  • Areas, which are supported by the regional and municipal governments and a deep knowledge of regulations and guidelines.
  • Familiarity with the land readjustment agency and the ability to to coordinate and to get access to assistance from various government departments.
  • Understanding of the land registration system.
  • A team that is skilled and highly dedicated negotiators at the local level as well as objective and well-trained land valuers.

Land poling is a blessing for many small parcel landowners. In fact wherever the developers have a problem because plots in the urban fringe are small, irregularly shaped and lack access to public roads, land pooling is the solution. Furthermore, as many of these plots are not for sale, it is often difficult to find a sufficient number of plots next to each other and, thus, building development becomes scattered. Our experience is that landowners can make considerable profit on the project. For governments and municipal corporations, land pooling and readjustment means more tax revenues. Land pooling requires that the land ownership situation is clarified and an accurate land registration system provided.
