Q. What wiil be the actual 'area of living' or carpet area if the builder proposes 1000 sft?
....> The actual carpet area will be 800-850 sft only. The common area is also included in the proposal.
If two flats are in the same floor, then the builder cheats both the residents by collecting

How do Builders cheat buyers? ... Let us see with a simple example
Builder XXXX proposes a flat in a decent residential area.
Rate ( Unit Price ) - Rs. 3500 sft.
Registration - Rs. 40 per sft.
EB and drainage - Rs. 50,000
Covered Car park - Rs. 1,25,000
Corpus fund - Rs. 50000.
For a 1000 sft flat ( 850 sft carpet area ), the approximate cost will be Rs.37,65,000. In the same plot area ( measuring 2 grounds) the builder would have constructed 8 or 10 flats.

Let us see how a builder earns his profit
Total sales for the builder - 37, 65,000 *10 = 3, 76, 50000 ( 3.76 crores)
Cost of the land - Rs. 40 laks per ground
1) Total cost of the land - 80 lakhs for two ground ------- A
Total builtup area for 10 flats - 10*1000 sft = 10,000 sft
Construction cost per sft ( for normal specification) = Rs. 900 per sft
2) Total construction cost - 10,000 * 900 = Rs. 90,00,000 -------------- B
3) Other expenses for the builder - Rs. 20 per sft = Rs. 2,00,000 ................. C
Total expenses for the builder = A+ B+C
= Rs. 80,00,000 + Rs.90,00,000 + Rs. 2,00,00
= Rs. 1,72,00,000 ( 1.72 crores approx)
Total Sales = Rs. 3.76 crores - Rs. 1.72 crores
Total profit of the builder = Rs. 2.04 crores.
Let us see the share of each resident
1. Cost of land = Divided share among the other 10 residents
= Rs. 80,00,000 / 10
= Rs. 8,00,000
2. Construction cost = Rs. 900 * 1000
= Rs. 9,00,000
3. Other expenses = Rs. 2,00,000 ( approx)
Total = Rs. 19,00,000 ( Nineteen lakhs)
The total share for each resident is Rs. 19,00,000 ( Nineteen lakhs only )
but he pays Rs. 37.5 laks for the flat.

Q. How We can stop Builders -Property Boom ?
1) IT People should think about buying flats for atleast next 1-2 Yrs .
2) Onces rates are reasonable , With some legal process get the Booking .
3) Check Facilities, Convince, Road Approach, schools & Mainly co-operation water
4) Ask Questions If I buy 1/2 BHK at 12 to 30 Lacks , Do I get reasale value in future?
5) Today you are capable for paying 1000 -3000 maintains per month ? Will will be the same case
after 20-30yrs after retirement .
6) In All, Don't stretch more to get the more & more loans other wise it will create unnecessary
pressure and tension .
7) Read the above mentioned calculation carefully, when you are about to buy a flat pls keep this in mind.

I read this article in another forum and someone there provided a solution for this is to avoid readymade houses altogether and go for buying land and building houses the old fashioned way which it seems saves upto 50% of the current cost of apartments.

Response to "IT People should think about buying flats for atleast next 1-2 Yrs"

I tried this idea for 3 years - the situation is the same or worse.. the earlier you buy, the better. Prices never come down for real estate .. moreover the rent also is shooting up.. so don't think twice .. if you want to buy, buy it now or never..
