Financing your property buying simplified

Buying a property whether it is house or plots or land can be exciting and cause for celebration but also exhausting if you’re not prepared for it. Preparing your finances is a big part of buying properties. Here are few things you should consider before financing your property purchase.
First, Set up a budget based on your expenses such as buying habits, monthly bills and instalments, family commitments and other stuffs including medical and hospital requirements.
Second, Try to reduce your debts and increase your income. Sell things which you aren’t using or lying inactive. Clear unnecessary goods which are no longer in use. Pay more on credit card bills and other instalments if any to improve your credit scores. Good credit history improves your credibility. The last thing you want to find is that you’re not financially qualified to buy it. To guarantee you’re financially ready to buy your first home, you’ll need good credit, encash, and a verifiable income.

Third, Save money for down payment. Paying higher down payment while buying a property can get you better offer and lower interest rates on your bank loan.

Fourth, Check for Govt. Housing Schemes and subsidy or Grants if you are eligible for it. As eligible buyers can avail part of the total amount through this.
Keep your documents ready to verify your income and finances. Good Luck.

Role of Channel partners post RERA

Channel partners & Real estate agents have always been an integral part of the realty sector. With the unparallel growth of Indian Real Estate, developers have been rapidly engaging with Channel Partners. Earlier, Kirana shop owners, small-time brokers and the likes had an unobstructed participation in the real estate marketplace, and many of them grew on unprofessional practises & under-informing their customers.

With introduction of Real Estate Regulation & Management Act (RERA), prospective buyers now have more faith in buying the property through channel partners as they have to get themselves registered with the respective state RERA authorities under the RERA Agent category. Organised Channel partners as advisors, act as a bridge between Real Estate companies and property buyers rather than mere brokers. In Tier-2 cities like Mysore & Hubli, Channel partners, are witnessing immense growth opportunities as they have better understanding of the local requirements & trends.

Interestingly, under the RERA Act, upto 5% of the total project cost can be levied to a registered Agent (channel partners) if wrong information is shared with prospective home buyers. This has brought about transparency in the sector and has improved buyer confidence. This will inturn boost the sector and strengthen the economy further.

Channel partners are looked up as professionals who are adept with current trends & have indepth knowledge of the local markets, customer demands and the builder profiles, there by offering quality service and consultations. There role is way beyond just referring clients, to arranging for property purchase loans, property registration & finally post sales documentation.

In the current scenario, the Role of Channel partners is more that it was ever before!
