Look for a prime neighbourhood– Whether for investment or for one’s own use, a truly luxury property cannot claim the tag if it doesn’t sit in a prime and accessible neighbourhood.

WHY NOT Buy a bigger flat?

With RBI announcing a 50-basis-point repo rate cut earlier this week, home loan rates will reduce simultaneously raising eligibility levels


One of the golden rules of buying real estate is that no home search should begin without finalizing a budget. This is largely determined by the home loan eligibility amount, which is calculated by lenders keeping the applicant’s repayment capacity and prevailing interest rates in mind. It is this last, crucial factor that determines their repayment amount and therefore, eligibility sum as well.

Any possibility of rates rising makes fence sitters take two steps back, while a status quo encourages them to take the plunge. However, a reduction in rates can actually encourage those who are house hunting to go in for a slightly bigger home. It could be an extra ‘half’ bedroom or larger sized rooms, extra space becomes a possibility when rates reduce.

Great news

So the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announcing a 50-basis-point repo rate cut earlier this week is really good news for home seekers. The impact was immediate as several banks lowered their base rate with others set to follow suit shortly. State Bank of India (SBI), cuts its base rate by 40 basis points from 9.70% p.a. to 9.30% p.a. effective October 5, 2015. Arundhati Bhattacharya, Chairman, SBI said, “The proposal to reduce the risk weights on low cost housing loans will incentivise the banks.”

Higher volumes

Rishi Mehra, Co-Founder, Deal4loans.com, pointed out that in a surprise move, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut the repo rate by 50bp to 6.75%, compared to consensus and our expectations of a 25bp cut. “RBI has proposed to lower risk weights on individual housing loans in the affordable segment (currently minimum risk weights in housing loans is 50%) to boost low cost housing. This will help in meeting the government’s target ‘Housing for all’ by 2022. Along with rate cuts, this means housing loan market should see a pickup in volumes. Home loan rates should fall by 0.50 basis points. Expect home loan rates to come at 9%,” he estimated.

Long overdue

Getamber Anand, President, Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India (CREDAI) National, said, “The industry is welcoming RBI Governor’s announcement of rate cut by 50 basis points, this was long overdue. RBI Governor has previously stated that while rate cuts have happened, it has not translated into reduction of home loans. CREDAI appeals to all the banks to pass on this rate cut to property buyers who avail home loans. This is now imperative and it must be done to benefit the end user. All in all, the industry is extremely upbeat and we feel the Golden Era for Indian manufacturing and businesses has begun. RBI Governor had also stated that they will be working in absolute tandem with the government dream for growth of our country and we are in full support for the same."

Direct impact

So how would this impact you as a home seeker going forward? Well, it is quite simple actually. Basically, a reduction in home loan interest rates would impact your home loan repayment at two levels.

The first is a reduction in the equated monthly installment (EMI) amount. The second, consequent advantage is an increase in loan eligibility level.

Just log onto the website of most leading banks and you will find tools marked ‘EMI calculator’ and ‘eligibility calculator.’ Then input your financial details and the current rate of interest offered and the answer will be right there.

Now input the same details and reduce the interest rate by even one percentage and see the difference in both, EMI and eligibility amounts.

Other factors

Do keep in mind that this is just one side of the calculation. The lending institution will also base its eligibility decision on the value of the flat you are purchasing. Based on the eligibility amount, you can figure out the approximate budget of the house you should be searching for (by adding about 25% more) and that will help you streamline your home search procedure considerably.

Quick Makeover Mantras for the Festive Season

Prescon suggests to go through some quick tips for your Home Makeover this festive season.

There is no single element that makes quite the same impact on your home décor scheme as colour. From the shades that are painted on walls to the curtains and sofa covers, table cloths, cushion covers and  bedsheets, even furniture, virtually every surface adds a dash of colour to the interiors. Each year, a new shade dominates the colour spectrum and lends itself to complementing and contrasting ones. Many of  these provide an indicator of what lies ahead as well.

Keeping your home décor updated doesn’t necessarily mean doing a major overhaul. As the years pass and colour trends change, one should make small but significant changes to ensure a ‘fresh’ look. Texture is also likely to be a key factor since it can accentuate certain colours or give them a
muted effect.

Simply choosing a new pair of pillows for the sofa, routinely re-accessorising the decor scheme with pops of on-trend colors will keep your home looking fresh and fun, even without doing any major redecorating. 

Interior designers recommend brightening up the decor with bright lime greens, lots of orange, electric blue, fire engine red, and all shades of pink and yellow. All bold colours that mesh well
in their sheer audacity, they can be used by either painting an intense accent wall or simply adding one bold, bright, eye-grabbing piece of furniture to the decor. 

Try wallpaper. 

There are plenty of designs, which makes it easy to change the look of the rooms with different patterns or colours. Wallpaper can be the perfect touch which accentuates a room’s theme or fixtures. It also features more detail than a simple coat of paint. It makes it easy to look at wallpaper
installation more like a long term investment and it is also less time consuming. 

Carpets.

Changing tiles is a time consuming process. In comparison, carpets are a popular floor fitting, prized for their warmth, versatility, insulation abilities and the protection provided to unfinished floors. A carpeted floor is a safer floor. The soft surface and cushioned under-padding not only reduce the impact of a fall, but also reduce the likelihood of it happening in the first place. 

Most carpets made today are highly stain-resistant, meaning clean up is easy. With just a damp cloth or a quick vacuuming, your floors look as good as new. Because carpets trap dust and allergens, they can also improve the air quality in your home as long they’re properly cleaned and vacuumed on a regular basis. 

Add a few curtains and draperies. 

These are very decorative and add enormous personality to the house. The wonderful old-fashioned drapery cords around these drapes really add to
their appeal. If your sofa or cushion cover is of a particular shade say red then prefer a curtain of the same shade as it will give a splendid look to your room. 

If the room is a bit dark then perhaps you can use flowery drapes. These really make you feel like you’re living inside of nature. There are plenty of choices of fabrics, designs, and colours when choosing your homes drapes and curtains.
