My Journey from a village to Sushant Golf City Lucknow

My Journey from a village to Sushant Golf City Lucknow

Every Teenager has the ambition to make it big, bigger than his father, close relatives, stand out among friends, or maybe prove himself that his dreams are realistic. Especially when he is from a so-called “C” town or a village. To make a lifestyle, a big house, a luxury car, and whatnot. And that sets him apart from his other colleagues. I was nothing different. Little did I know that a villager like me was going to be a part of the residents of the Sushant golf city, Lucknow. . . sounds like a dream and it did come true.

sushant golf city

The first and foremost memory I had was traveling to Lucknow with my father for a relative’s wedding when I was hardly 7-8 years old. We went to Sushant City and attended a wedding. Honestly, I didn’t remember anything about the wedding but the memories of the wide roads, the dividers between the road, organized traffic, nice clean and beautiful houses, trees on both sides of the road making it look like an infinite, and then One huge green land, the mere lushness of greenery took me off my foot and I just wanted to go up there and play cricket with my friends, Little did I knew that was a Golf course at Sushant city, Lucknow.

The relative we went to was the resident of Sushant City Lucknow and I was so amazed by the grandness of his home, maybe somewhere in my subconscious heart, I decided to live in such a house when I will make it big. We also went to that huge green land in the evening and I kind of took off, running everywhere, finding some golf balls and the moment I bend to pick one, my father scolded me and I took off again, tried some offbeat shots from that golf stick too. . .

Cutting the long story short, I worked hard and against all the odds landed up in Lucknow for my job. And the moment I landed in Lucknow, I reached Sushant Golf City and went back a long way in my memory lane, the words that came out were. . Wow, I was at the place where I dreamt for so long. Those fresh feeling roads, nice and clean neighborhood, the greenery was even more green, and the golf course, it was the same lush green course and to my surprise, I saw the amenities that are required for a dream place to be at, Walmart, Multi-specialty hospitals, International schools, and on the way I saw a nice multi-story apartment, which got me more curious as the place doesn’t have may multi-story apartments.

Aryavarta Empire

I went ahead and checked about the apartment, it was named as Aryavarta Empire. I checked out from their newly constructed Marketing Office and Sample flat, it was just what I wanted, the dream place, 2, 3 and 4 BHK Flats, and the most important very spacious. All the amenities were very close by, let it be Shopping, Hospitals, Schools, golf course, even ISKON Temple, and the facility of transport was also very convenient and smooth. The connectivity from the area to the Railway Station or the Airport was surprisingly easy, the main markets like Hazratganj, Malls, Old Lucknow, recreational parks, educational institutions, and workplaces are too very easy to commute. Even my office which is located in Gomti Nagar was hardly 15 minutes drive away from Sushant Golf city and my house at Aryavarta Empire. 

And that is when I decided that this is going to be my nest for the rest of my life, Aryavarta empire was not only about the surroundings, the project within had a lot to offer, like, Basketball court, Kids Play area, Gymnasium, Banquet hall and a lot more. The calmness of the place with the required amenities just took my heart and with a happy heart, I started my journey for which I dreamt of since my childhood.

But when you buy a house, you have a lot to check, like the reputation of the developer, Past track record, delivery status, Rera Compliance, and whatnot.

And to my surprise, the developer has already handed over a couple of projects like Paarth Aadyant, Goldfinch and has a reputation of trust in the city of Lucknow. They are RERA compliant and have tied up with government and private banks for the easy loan process. And that’s when I was relieved and started to plan further about getting my parents to the city and possibly buy a flat for the next door so that we can live like one happy family. . . and that is all that matters.

A well laid out basic infrastructure, already functional metro rail, an international airport and excellent network of roads provide the basic wherewithal for a tension free life here. Added to this is a well – educated and one of the most civilized population groups in India. This is also the seat of political, judicial and executive power of the largest Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. With a stable government at the hub, the opportunities galore in this futuristic town.

Why Gomti Nagar Extension is the best residential area in Lucknow in 2021?

When one looks at Lucknow, the city has grown in all the directions in last few years. There are developments in Gomti Nagar extension, Raebareilly road, Sultanpur road, Hardoi road and Kanpur road. However, if you ask anyone in Lucknow his preference for buying a new home, the answer in all likelihood will be Gomti Nagar extension or Shaheed path (which is the official name), unless there are budget constraints, one is facing.

Integrated township living – Need of our times

Imagine living in a neighbourhood where everything you need is a stone’s throw away. Sounds too good to be true? Well, integrated townships have made this dream a reality and therefore, have fulfilled a lifestyle need of new age home buyers.

Integrated township living – Need of our times

Self-sufficient integrated townships are fast becoming the order of the day, and are popular among developers and residents alike. It is an ultra-modern and cosmopolitan real estate model, featuring the combination of residential and commercial complexes with associated infrastructure such as schools, colleges, shopping centres and various other facilities. Traditional urban living is plagued by a range of issues such as overcrowding and shortage of space. Integrated townships help combat these problems by creating miniature urban ecosystems that offer an abundance of space, security and accessibility. From cost-effectiveness to convenience – the range of benefits offered by integrated townships are endless.

Easy Access to Essentials
The COVID-19 pandemic served to demonstrate the need for easy accessibility to essentials, as the movement was heavily restricted. Living in an integrated township ensures that you never have to worry about getting to a supermarket or hospital again. All the benefits of city life are offered within the project, with all essential services being available at close vicinity. By choosing an integrated township, you can wave goodbye to all the hassles of commuting!

Perfect Environment for Children
Urban environments are causing children to become increasingly cooped up in cramped apartments, resulting in excessive use of technology and lack of exposure to open, green spaces. Integrated townships effectively combat this issue through the creation of numerous public spaces for children such as parks and playgrounds. Moreover, the presence of creches and day-care centres make it a convenient place to raise children, with heightened security also ensuring peace of mind for parents. Townships enable children to grow up in safe, clean and green spaces, with no dearth of opportunities to run around and enjoy their childhood.

Great Value for Money
While a township property may seem like a large investment, a closer look reveals that it is more cost-effective than buying an independent property. As townships are often located in the outskirts of cities, they offer a wide range of amenities at reasonable prices, while ensuring great connectivity to the main city. Moreover, townships offer a better return on investment and great potential rental incomes. Additionally, integrated townships offer the added advantage of lower maintenance costs, as service taxes and maintenance charges are distributed over a large population.

Enhanced Lifestyle
Apart from essentials such as schools and supermarkets, integrated townships also feature a range of facilities and benefits to enable an optimal lifestyle. These projects offer an escape from the claustrophobic city, with an abundance of ventilation, greenery and open spaces. Moreover, the reduced need for long commutes also allows you to spend more time doing the things you love. Provisions for jogging, yoga, meditation and other enjoyable activities make living in integrated townships an extremely wholesome and satisfying experience.

There are, however, very few integrated township projects in Lucknow. Paarth Republic is one such project, which is in advanced stage of development and offers various residential options to meet requirements of different budgets.

Increasing demand for 3 BHK apartments

The real estate market in India is going through an interesting phase. While on one hand, the reducing home loan interest rates and stable prices are attracting new home seekers, the current home owners are looking to upgrade on the other. The mid income segment housing space is heating up and the data suggests that there is a fast increasing trend in enquiries.

The data for different towns and projects in India shows, that over the years 2 BHK homes were most preferred by new buyers everywhere. This also resulted in a skewed planning by developers, which favoured a higher percentage of homes to be constructed as 2 BHK and very few as 3 BHKs. However, with improving income levels and increasing lifestyle demands, a certain shift towards 3 BHK apartments is being observed. These 3 BHKs are also offered in some cases as 2BHK+study configuration, making these more affordable, while providing that extra room that can be used as needed.

If we look at the evolution of this demand, we can find a few strands of it in the way the society is growing. As the nuclear families have become more common and a typical family has 4 members, including 2 kids, the requirements of 3 rooms beyond the living room is a basic requirement for a typical middle class family in cities. It is no more an acceptable trend to accommodate guests in the main bed room or in some temporary sleeping area. The kids rooms are also designed in a way that they can’t be used for guests, therefore the need for a third bedroom is felt by most mid-income families.

Another reason, why this trend for 3 BHKs is increasing is the affordability. The incomes have increased, while the prices have not moved up for homes over last 3-4 years. With interests on home loans at the lowest ever levels, suddenly the same EMI can help buy a bigger apartment. There are instances across India, where a builder has also helped the existing buyers waiting for possession, upgraded to a larger unit without changing the financial impact to the customer, using a decrease in interest cost of nearly 2-2.5%, to cover for the additional unit cost. That has also been welcomed by buyers.

A huge jump in 3 BHK homes in non-metro towns, like Lucknow is also observed due to the offered price point. A 3 BHK home in Lucknow can be bought for 60-80 lac, a sweet price point for most families. The other reason which has apparently pushed more people towards a larger unit is the impact of work from home employees. With pandemic starting a new preference both for employees and employers, where work from home is quite acceptable, the need for larger homes is felt more than ever. The extra room which can be used as a temporary office setup, can also be used as a guest room, when needed.

Paarth Infrabuild offers beautiful and well-designed 3 BHK homes in different projects in Lucknow at prices which are attractive for md-income families.    

Does your home reflect your personality?

Every home, even if constructed with the same design, feel different. This difference comes in due to the ways one decorates or maintains his home. No wonder, the home reflects the owner’s personality in more ways than one. The design of your home can be an expression of yourself and you build a story through the colours and styles that you choose. Your home is your haven, so when it comes down to it, it should reflect the people who live in them. There are many ways it happens. Let’s look at these, which can bring you closer to the vibes of your home.

Lifestyle

If you are someone who likes to be organized in life, then the chances are that your house will be clean and spacious, and there won’t be a pile of clutter in sight. Homes with lots of storage and simple designs reflect those who are logical and calm, and like to have things planned out.

Accessories

For those who love the outdoors, homes will be full of plants and flowers, with a garden bursting at the seams. It is important to make sure your home reflects your lifestyle, as how you feel in your day to day life should be the same when you’re in your home.

There are many different ways that personality can be reflected through the accessories around your home. You may be a fairly quiet person, but the yellow cushions on your sofa or the floral tablecloth you choose in your kitchen could reflect your positive outlook in life.

The pictures you have on your walls or the designs you choose for your curtains could also reflect your love of animals, without actually taking over the house. It’s nice to inject your personality into all the different accessories around your home and garden.

Experiences

A great way to find out about someone is to learn about his or her experiences, and often these can be seen around the home. Homeowners that spend a lot of time traveling often bring home keepsakes and trinkets that can be found in various rooms, showing the experiences that they have had in life.

The experiences you have tell a story and are reflected in who you are and how you feel, and this is then reflected in your home decorations. It’s great for someone to be able to walk into your home and really feel that it represents you.

Relationships

The way you decorate your home can definitely affect the dynamics of any relationships you have in the house. Think about all the different people who live with you and how their personality could also be reflected in the way your home is decorated.

If you have kids your home may have some smaller pieces of furniture or rooms with brighter walls. If you live with your other half, you may choose colours that reflect love and romance, turning your house into a warm and cosy home to share together. 

Paarth Infrabuild offers homes, which one can customize to a great extent basis his personality and lifestyle choices. There are homes of different sizes and designed differently, creating communities around these choices the customers make.

Benefits of buying a home from reputed developers

In last decade, the age of home buyers has gone down and number of home buyers has increased substantially. Taking advantage of the same boom, the developers have started to offer the customers with different types of housing projects, for their ease and to cater to their interest.

However, there are some fly-by-night developers who have entered the trade to make some quick money. They would typically release attractive advertisements and offers to lure customers. There are also some developers in every market who have delivered good projects in past but are facing huge financial crisis. Therefore, a critical part of a home-purchasing decision is background check on developer. So what should one look out for:

  1. Choose a developer who has delivered some projects in the city earlier
  2. Check out for a financially strong builder. You can do a google search on the developer to see if he has defaulted on some payment etc or taking huge loans. It’s better to avoid such a developer even if he meets the criteria 1.

While it might sound like some work, a due diligence at this stage will help you to avoid disappointments later. Some of the benefits that one can enjoy by purchasing a home through a reputed developer:

Modern Design

A reputed developer who has multiple projects, will have his own setup to oversee the designing and the construction process. This ensures one gets the most state of the art design, which are functionally useful and provide living comfort for a long time. Typically, a developer with a quick money in mind, doesn’t create his own setup and gets contractors to do everything. This results in compromising quality as the contractor is not bothered about his long term reputation with the end customer. 

Transparency in dealing

A reputed and large developer will have a process to take care of any concern raised by a customer, something which is very important in buying a product with deep engagement. There is a process of 3-4 years during which you need help on aspects like checking progress of the project, payment reconciliation, documentation etc. Small developers don’t have CRM department to handle these queries and ever changing sales people are of no help in such situations. Also, with a large developer, everything will be recorded in writing or through a mail. Registration of projects with RERA also ensure a certain minimum transparency by the builder. The projects offered on individual basis by small builders in unorganized sector are not even registered with RERA and offer no specific details.

Easy accessibility of Home Loans

A reputed developer will already have a project approval done for home loans for its customers through reputed financial institutions. In such a case, it becomes extremely easy for a customer to get his home loan processed. In some cases, financial institutions also offer special promotions on home loans like subvention schemes or special interest rates for home loan on such residential projects.

Timely Project Delivery

Good and reputed developers ensure that they keep their commitments to the customers and therefore use modern project management techniques to ensure customer satisfaction.

Paarth Infrabuild is one of the most reputed developers of Lucknow. They have multiple projects in the city and offer best value for money to its customers with transparent offers.

2021 – The time for residential Real Estate

2020 though affected adversely due to beaten customer sentiment, saw good traction for residential real estate towards the end of year. Q2 of calendar year was absolutely poor as most of the country was under lockdown, but the pace of recovery intensified with residential  real estate sales increasing by 51% in Q4 2020 when compared to Q3 2020. This is as per the recently published report Residential market update report for Q4’2020 by JLL.

The time for residential Real Estate
Happy family planning their new apartment

Sales picked up on the back of historically low home loan interest rates, stagnant residential prices, lucrative payment plans & freebies from developers coupled with government incentives such as the reduction of stamp duty in some states like Maharashtra & Karnataka (for affordable housing). The easing of lockdown restrictions and the ongoing festive season further aided in bringing buyers back to the market.

On an annual basis, sales in 2020 recovered to more than 50% of the pre-COVID volumes witnessed in 2019. The markets of Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi NCR gained maximum foothold in 2020 as compared to 2019.Some markets like Lucknow, in fact, experienced a big rebound in sales and helped developers to increase prices of properties also, which had been stagnating for last few years.

While there is still a long way to go, the worst is behind for the residential sector, reveals the report. It says the challenges faced by residential real estate in 2020 have, in fact, become the catalyst in providing stimuli to the industry for sustained growth. With people spending an inordinate amount of time at home, the lockdown re-established the importance of owning a house. At the same time, the Central Bank(RBI) is leading the way to recovery by holding policy rates at historically low levels to initiate a cycle of consumption-led growth. This has resulted in extremely low mortgage rates. And, prices have also been stagnant for the past few years. This affordable synergy makes it a great time to purchase a home. Furthermore, the market is also witnessing renewed interest from Non-Resident Indians (NRIs).

The significance of owning a home to avoid the uncertainties of living in a rented accommodation was reinforced during the pandemic. The desire to own a home is perhaps now stronger than ever. Moreover, while end users continue to drive demand, there is renewed interest from investors and from Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) impacted by economic uncertainties in Europe and the Middle East and they find India to be a safer place than the place they are inhabiting right now.

The pandemic has also changed the preferences of homebuyers and has been bringing in new dimension to property search. A healthy lifestyle will be a key criterion for homebuyers in the post-COVID era. Resultantly, preferences will tilt towards larger homes in self-contained complexes with facilities like gym, green open spaces and access to daily necessities. Moreover, with work from home becoming a reality, product configurations are likely to change with bias towards larger homes.

Also, remote working practices will increase the attractiveness of suburban markets. Suburban markets offer lower density environments and more spacious apartments at affordable rates. Since, travel to office may no longer be an everyday activity, the importance of connectivity to office hubs will no longer dictate home purchases.

It is also pertinent to note that project delays, could be cited as one of the biggest reasons behind a demand slowdown that has gripped India’s residential market in the last few years. Therefore, demand for ready-to move-in homes or homes in advanced stage of construction is likely to remain strong. Also, the effective and uniform implementation of RERA across Uttar Pradesh is expected to improve the confidence of homebuyers and ultimately, lead to greater sales traction in newly launched and under-construction residential projects also.

In 2021, a further improvement in sales across all housing segments is expected. However, development focus on mid and affordable segments is expected to continue. In 2020, more than 80% of the new launches were in the sub Rs 10 million category. Moving ahead, new launches will remain concentrated in these price segments with developers trying to reap the benefits of strong pent up demand in these segments. The government is also committed towards boosting affordable housing. The recent Union Budget has extended the benefit of additional interest deduction on home loans for first time home buyers in the affordable segment. Further, there is a time extension to claim the tax holiday on profits from affordable housing projects until March 2022.

The organised housing market in India has seen the influx of several organised players in a bid to tap the opportunities arising out of the strong demand from a growing millennial workforce. This brought back in focus the modern lifestyle offered by state-of-the-art township designs. The large open areas and facilities contained within are great reasons for customers to flock to these projects. In Lucknow, there are very few options like these available with reputed builders in a modern environment. There will be an increased focus on health and wellness aspects in the post-COVD era, which is expected to drive demand for organised and all-encompassing housing setups. Paarth Republic township offers its customers these advantages to adapt to the changing lifestyle requirements.

Another important aspect which is increasingly being seen in towns like Lucknow is the senior citizens living alone. These senior citizens living alone were the most impacted during the pandemic. The role of an organized township with modern healthcare facilities becomes all too important now. Only a self – contained residential complex can be designed with senior friendly amenities such as medical support on call, services for food, housekeeping and assistance around the clock, which became more prominent during these trying times. This has increased the attractiveness of such facilities and demand for organized senior housing setups is expected to pick up in the near future.

If 2020 was the year that changed everything, 2021 may be the year where change becomes the ‘new normal’ and adapting to this ‘new normal’ will require imagination, innovation and digital transformation. The arrival of 2021 will not shake off all the challenges of a pandemic-riddled economy but the groundwork for a sector-wide recovery has been laid. The year is poised to establish itself as the year where India enters a new phase of real estate growth, innovation and investment.

With strong financial health, Paarth republic is continuing the construction and provision of other facilities and therefore is finding traction with new customers.

10 step guide to buying a new home in India

Step 1 : Decide your Budget

Your home is one of your biggest purchase. A proper budget has to be planned to know how much money will be left each month to meet your expenses, after accounting for home loan EMIs. It is therefore, very important to look at your past savings for the purpose and estimate how your future earnings are expected to move. It may be simpler for a salaried person, though may involve some serious work for a business owner or a self employed professional. One should also account for any future expenses that can be accounted for now, like children’s educational expense etc.

10 step guide to buying a new home in India

Step 2 : Assess Family requirements

Remember, you are buying a home to ensure that your family enjoys living in it. Different members in the family can have different interests and expectations from new home. It is critical to understand their requirements before you set out on home search. Your family size will help you determine the number of rooms that you need. You may need extra room, in case, a family member is a professional or work from home executive. Older parents, similarly may need easily accessible open space as well as medical facilities nearby. All these along with future needs should be considered while planning to buy your dream home.

Step 3 : Location

It is essential to decide on a few areas where you want to buy a home. It can depend on location of kid’s school or your office. There may be other specific considerations for the family with reference to location and all of these should be brought in, before filtering the preferred locations. Take a good look at the location and the locality by visiting shortlisted areas at different times of the day. It is preferable to choose a developing area, adjacent to the prime business district of your city so that the price is not that high. Location will also have a large impact on the resale value of your home. Choose wisely to ensure your home is a wealth creator for you in future.

Step 4 : Rental rates in the area

The rental rates in an area are a good proxy to understand how people in general perceive an area for living. Since these rates are decided by people based on the amenities in the locality, and the general advantages the locality offers, compared to other locations, it can be a good comparison for several shortlisted locations. Typically a project with higher rentals will be closer to work areas and required amenities like schools and hospitals.

Step 5 : Resale Value

Resale Value is an important thing to consider before you plan to invest or buy a property. Property buyers generally don’t consider this point, when they buy. They make the mistake of focusing solely on a prime locality or the budget of the property. If you choose the wrong property or location, it is possible that your future sales price will always be less than the other homes around it. It is important to look at your home also as a wealth multiplier over a period of time, as at some point of time, you may plan to sell it and buy a new house.

Step 6 : Loan eligibility

Home loan eligibility depends upon the repayment capacity, income, existing loans or debts and age of the loan applicant. The lending company or banks provide online services such as home loan eligibility calculator or pre-approval of loan. These will help calculate loan eligibility of the home loan borrower and therefore help in deciding the budget for your purchase. The maximum loan that can be sanctioned varies with the banks and the eligibility criteria may vary according to the bank or RBI regulations. It is also worthwhile to check the documents that will be needed for availing a home loan and the interest rates offered by different banks. Although, now most of the prominent developers have a facilitation cell for home loans.

Step 7 : Stamp Duty & Registration Fee

This is an important expense or tax, much like the sales tax and income tax that are collected by the Government. When planning your budget for property buying and deciding to buy a property, you need to know the rate and charges applicable in your city. If you want to know the market value of your property and the stamp duty amount on it, you need to contact the Ready Reckoner to locate your valuation zone and sub-zone. These details are available online as well as the builder team can guide you on it.

Step 8 : Additional Costs

Even if this isn’t your first time home buying, you will want to get help from a team of professionals. Fees or service charge by real estate agents, lenders or mortgage brokers, home inspector, land surveyor, lawyer or notary etc should be considered. Find out how much is the maintenance charge. Will car parking be provided and do you have to pay extra for it. If your previous owner did not have a vehicle, speak to the secretary of the society and ask for a parking lot. Also, you should consider getting your home insured, which will also have a cost.

Step 9 : Developer credentials

Different developers have varying motivation behind a project development. There are some developers, who have multiple projects in the city or elsewhere and therefore, they want to give a lasting value to the customers, expecting to earn a goodwill. At the same time, there are some whose only interest is in making quick money. It is, therefore, important to do a thorough check on the developer before you sign on the dotted line.

Step 10 : Approvals

There have been multiple instances when developers launched a project without getting all the approvals. Though, with RERA, the instances of the same have reduced but there are still some people who try to play on customer’s ignorance. It is important to check all the necessary approvals – like RERA approval. You may visit RERA website to get complete details as shared by a developer with the authorities and then cross check the details given by developer representative with these.
