REALTY REVIEW – July & August 2014 Dear Readers, Greetings from the Regional office! Last 10 days, I have spent time travelling around Hyderabad in all directions for almost 100 kms. I found there are many growth zones and areas of further city development. Land parcels are available in small to big sizes. However, buying vacant land and building a new home is a great way to ensure that you get the home that you want in the location that you want. It's also a major undertaking, which is why you should take these three considerations into account before you buy any land for your new home. Location, Location, Location: It's More Important Than You Think People often hear the phrase "location, location, location" and it's a very prudent maxim with buying land. The parcel of land that you buy should be in a good geographic location and on stable ground - which means there shouldn't be any major water sources nearby (like a swamp) and hills should be minimal. You'll also want to consider zoning regulations that influence the acreage and other regulations that influence how you can and cannot use the land. Utility Connections Will Be Your Responsibility New land tends to not have utilities laid out under or over the ground. If this is the case, you will need to invest in electrical, water, and possibly heat utilities for the home. This process involves communicating between the municipal government and utility companies so that the proper infrastructure is put in place. These costs and the implementation can be quite a headache depending on how isolated the land is from municipal or regional infrastructure. Access: Look Up Any Easements on the Land Many homeowners may not realize how legal access to land can affect their purchase. An easement refers to the legal right of other entities to use your land even though they do not own it. Before you buy land, you and your lawyer should investigate whether or not the land has easements, and whether or not these easements may interfere with your goals for the property. These are just a few of the major considerations you need to make when you buy land. Purchasing a plot of land is quite a bit more complicated than buying a house, and if you're not prepared, it can easily turn into a nightmare. When properly planned, though, buying land can give you a great backdrop on which to build the house of your dreams.

Contact a local real estate professional today or any of our offices to find your new parcel of land. Wishing you a happy festive season!

SOME REALTY TIPS & BITES – Vastu – Doors & Windows According to Vastu Shastra doors and windows can make a huge difference to peace, prosperity, and luck of a house hold. Doors and windows are not merely passages for people to enter, but are also for positive and negative energies to enter in the house. If a window is made in the wrong direction, it is a gateway for the negative energies to come in and can harm the inhabitants. If the doors and windows are constructed in the right direction, they can bring in a lot of prosperity and good luck.
REALTY REVIEW – July & August 2014 A doorway constructed towards the eastern direction is considered very auspicious. However, you can also construct entrances in the western and northern sides. An entry in the southern direction is not considered as suitable. Avoid making doors or windows in south-west corners of the house, office or any property. Avoid having any sort of obstructions, such as plants, temple, staircases, and the like, in front of the main entrance. Teak wood is considered best for doors and windows. The main gates of two houses facing each other should not open towards each other (both outwards). Doors such as these are believed to be very inauspicious. All the windows should ideally be of symmetrical shapes and be proportionate in height. Doors must never be placed at the centre of a wall. It is important to keep cross-ventilation fitting of doors and windows. They should be placed such that maximum light and air can pass through. So it is suggested that doors and windows be placed opposite each other. South facing houses must have north facing entrances so that they fall at the eastern half. North facing houses must have north facing entrances so that they fall at the eastern half side. If you have a south or south-west facing plot, never have a door as entrance from that side. Always use east or northeast corner door to walk into the house. West facing houses must have their entrance towards West, to make sure the main door falls at the Northern half of the side. The entrance for east facing houses must be fixed towards East, to make sure the main door falls towards the Northern half of the side. A house must at all times have even numbers of windows and door
REALTY REVIEW – July & August 2014 In conclusion, ascertaining position of the doors and windows has a special impact as it contributes significantly towards deciding frontage of the house. The direction & locations of the door and window chosen could reorient the house.
