Rajarhat - A Kolkata Suburb, Property options for NRIs


From affordable 2 BHK, 3 BHK apartments to the luxurious Villas, an extensive range of property options are accessible in Rajarhat. This Kolkata suburb is attracting the investors from domestic as well as overseas.

NRI Attention

The NRI investments within this area are up significantly in the last few years. About 35 % of investors are from overseas and want to make investment because of earning possibilities this region has.

Also the NRIs are cutting the bulk property investments in multiple parts to avoid fund blocking in any single basket. It leads to the easy exit. The NRIs are making up 20 % of the clients, whereas a further 20 % are not based in city. 

Safer Option

Kolkata is always a safer place for investment as far as property is concerned. The metropolitan city provides by far the most inexpensive range of properties to masses and classes beginning from Rs 8 lakh. The profits are also extremely promising compared with the investment size.

In the year 2008, the recession had badly influenced the property industry in India however Kolkata has continued to be steady, because it is the market driven by end-user having higher demand as well as relatively lower supply.

Many projects are there in city which suit category of the second homes as well as there are a lot of takers to them also. There is mixed bag for the buyers in city from the city residents to the NRIs.

Buying Capability

The buying capability in Kolkata market is very different from the other Indian cities. Generally an investor of Kolkata wants smaller ticket items with price range of Rs 10-50 lakh taking fine profits on the package deals.

Some reasons why the investment became feasible include easy procurement of home loan, particularly for the service class that also provides them tax advantage of Rs 1.5 lakh per annum per head. This is the win-win situation to middle-income segment of consumers based in city.

Buyers are in Win-Win Situation

The rates at posh localities within city like Southern Kolkata is high already as well as they barely have any escalation chances. However it is not the situation with Rajarhat. The potential growth is higher and therefore demand is witnessing the increase.

People are booking properties here through token money with rest of sum is remunerated in next 24 months or consequently till the possession. The rates increase in the meantime so the investors sell that off at the higher prices, even prior to paying off entire money of booked property.
