High Tech Amenities Offered in Real Estate
High Tech Amenities Offered in Real Estate
It’s common now for most residential properties, luxury or otherwise to come equipped with a host of fully loaded high tech amenities that make personal living experiences more convenient and super comfy whilst simultaneously weaving in work and business expediency.
Features such as business bays, fitness centres or concierge desks are now considered as given conveniences that are a must for the exacting demands of residents. In fact it’s not unusual for residential properties to resemble more on the lines of luxury resorts rather than simple lacklustre residences.
The sky is the limit and there really is no dearth of shortage of bespoke residences that fulfil every desire. So what then should you expect if you’re a home buyer looking for a property that will comply with your needs for today and appreciate suitably or phenomenally in the future as well?
Here, we’ll individually take a look at some of the niche amenities that are being offered to the conscientious customers of today whilst presenting an opportunity for realty investors to identify early opportunities in this segment.
Dedicated zones for entertainment and multimedia are no longer things of the past, they are the standing reality of today. As the world moves at lighting speeds with respect to technology, gaming and virtual reality zones are fast becoming a must have feature in residential complexes.
To that end, many developers are imbibing these dedicated zones in their blueprint plans. So while one can expect private Jacuzzis and spas conveniently located a few floors below their residences, it’s not going to be surprising to find private entertainment and multimedia zones located right next to them.
Usually most residential configurations already come pre-designed with multimedia zones within the house itself with special provisions for enabling it with ‘smart’ features. However, lately consumer needs have started gravitating towards incorporating the multimedia zone as a shared community space rather than a private feature solely accessible to the home’s inhabitants.
Many reasons can be attributed to this shift, mainly the fact that many large sized simulators are impractical within the house besides it’s more convenient to allocate the multimedia or entertainment zone outside the house and free up the space within for something else. Perhaps a private pool or a work station, as the individual requirements may go.
Those residential properties already having these types of zones allocate enough space so as to accommodate dedicated gaming zones, snug bowling alleys, virtual reality golf courses, cricket pitches and table tennis or lawn tennis simulators among other outdoor sports. What’s more, there will be high end gaming consoles and the latest play stations so that kids and adults alike can partake in their daily doses of some gaming action.
These sorts of entertainment zones are not intended purely as leisurely, recreational activities rather an opportunity at family bonding and professional networking intermeshed at one great, fun place, within the residential complex. Moreover as these zones are located within the complex itself, residents are saved from traffic jams and traveling woes - something anyone and everyone appreciates!
Did we mention about the mini theatres or screening rooms with super plush and comfortable seating options? Those too are very much an integral part of the entertainment zone. So residents can pretty much enjoy a session at the spa, work out at the high tech health club and saunter over to the entertainment zones and end the evening either playing some virtual tennis or catch their favourite movie, whatever catches their fancy first.
In the western countries, residential projects have fast caught on with these futuristic concepts. And it is thought that this will be a rage in the coming years everywhere. In fact, there are quite a few national developers who’ve even begun planning these niche features in their pipeline projects.
However, there is a considerable outlay for the developer and consequently the customer too. Hence it’s best advised for any new buyer to consider these aspects beforehand.

Top 8 Things To Consider Before Buying An Apartment In Kerala
A home is an utmost investment that you have made in your life. So, when you are planning to purchase a flat or an apartment for yourself and your family members, you always need to put in some extra care and effort. People usually purchase or buy a flat either by seeing some advertisements or getting recommended by others or being influenced by google search results. But a plethora of studies have claimed that many companies do some cheap or inferior quality promotions only to entice customers towards their projects. When it comes to the handover phase, they hardly provide them with any modern amenities or use very inferior quality materials for construction. So, it is always recommendable that as a buyer you should check thoroughly before investing a single penny in a property.Location's everything for a home.The paramount concern when you relocate to a new home should be convenience. The location of the home should place you near your workplace with urban conveniences like shopping and public outlets when within walking distance.AmenitiesYou also need to check whether your apartment is equipped with all new amenities (gym, swimming pool, indoor games area, banquet hall, fire extinguisher, etc.) or not. So, put amenities in your flat purchase checklist.ConnectivityConnectivity is another prime thing to check before buying a flat in Kerala. If your apartment is well-connected with retail shops, hospitals, schools, bus stops, and medical stores, then everything will become easier for you.Sense of securityThe security arrangement in an apartment complex will ward off all unwanted salesmen, beggars and suspicious strangers. Even if the family goes out of town for a few days your home will be safe and secure.Builder's BackgroundMake a checklist before buying a flat and make sure, this one tops the list. Whenever you look for a flat, do a background check of the builder or the seller. Make sure everything is legal. Make casual conversations and find out about his life. How a person earns his bread says a lot about him.Most importantly, legal documents need to be checked before buying a flat from the builder. This is to minimize any sort of legal drama that may occur. When it comes to documents and police work, the case may stretch for years. And you do not want that over your head.The Area The next important thing to take notice of is the locality of your house. Kerala flats are located in rather neat areas but you need to make sure. What helps a lot is talking to the neighbours. They will be able to provide the best information about the current owner. Additionally, check if the place is too noisy for you and if it matches all your standards. Once you buy the house, there is no turning back. Therefore, it is wise to make a 'before buying a flat checklist'.Outdoor AreaIf you have children, then before purchasing a flat you should check whether it includes any outdoor area or not. Because children love to play different outdoor games and for that, they need a spacious and airy outdoor area. Moreover, if you have a large and open outdoor area, then you can also do some physical activities which are very wholesome for your health.You can't choose your relatives. But the neighbours you can.Where you live is at your sole discretion. When you relocate to a new home make sure the neighbourhood is of your social status and liking. The community you live in will be of your liking. Your children will have good company to play with.Every housing project looks beautiful on paper. Before you buy a home from a builder, inspect a few projects of the same builder to understand the quality and standards they offer. Better still, ask some residents about living standards. Because you don't buy a home every other day.Varma Homes in Kerala is one of the most prominent home builders, who have completed 18 + luxury projects across Kerala. We value customer happiness above all. We envision a clarity in our thought processes which would eventually pave the way to build quality homes delivered on time and aspire for the betterment of the environment, the general public, and our business.

How to Save 2.67 Lakhs on Buying Home
Are you someone looking for new apartments or new flats in the metro city? Then this is just the right opportunity for you to purchase any of the under-construction projects progressing within the metro city limits. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) scheme, a home loan subsidy interest amount of Rs 2.67 lakhs is provided to the beneficiaries and the amount is credited to their loan account. Thus, the home loan borrower is privileged to lower the EMIs and this lessens the principal amount of loan payable. The Government of India is planning to drop the GST rate for property purchases with an aim to push demand, under the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) from 12% to 8%. On January 18, the GST Council had extended the GST concessional rate on projects constructed or properties acquired under the CLSS for the economically weaker section (EWS) of lower-income group and middle-income group. The home loan amount and interest subsidy rates are as follows: EWS - Individuals who are earning up to Rs 3 lakhs per annum are eligible for a maximum loan amount of Rs 6 lakhs. Interest subsidy is 6.50% per annum and maximum interest subsidy amount is up to Rs 2.67 lakhs. And the carpet area has no limit. LIG - Individuals who are earning from Rs 3 to 6 lakhs per annum are eligible for a maximum loan amount of Rs 6 lakhs. Interest subsidy is 6.50% per annum and maximum interest subsidy amount is up to Rs 2.67 lakhs. And the carpet area has no limit. MIG-1 - Individuals who are earning from Rs 6 to 12 lakhs per annum are eligible for a maximum loan amount of Rs 9 lakhs. Interest subsidy is 4% per annum and maximum interest subsidy amount is up to Rs 2.35 lakhs. And the maximum carpet area limit is 1291 sq. ft. MIG-2 - Individuals who are earning from Rs 12 to 18 lakhs per annum are eligible for a maximum loan amount of Rs 12 lakhs. Interest subsidy is 3% per annum and maximum interest subsidy amount is up to Rs 2.30 lakhs. And the maximum carpet area limit is 1614 sq. ft. A simple and transparent tax applied on the purchase price is the biggest advantage for property buyers. All under-construction properties will be charged at 8% under the GST regime (excluding stamp duty and registration charges) on property value, adding that it will not apply to ready to move in properties and completed projects, as there are no indirect taxes applicable in the sale of such properties. In case of under-construction properties, levy of stamp duty and registration charges on the buyer will continue. Under the current tax regime, the home builders are subject to central excise duty, VAT and entry taxes (levied by state) on construction material cost. On the services used (labour charges, architect fees, approval charges, legal fees, etc.), developers pay service tax of 15%. Real estate developers also grapple with the challenges of multiple-taxation and the cumulative burden eventually gets passed on to the buyer. As the benefit of input tax credit being considered as an added advantage, developers too will find the GST regime much simpler to work with. A move of bringing real estate under the purview of the new tax regime, would definitely come as a major boost for the real estate investors of the ready-to-move-in properties. As of now, only the buyers of under-construction projects are covered under the new tax regime. On booking Varma Homes, you can avail CLSS scheme under the PMAY on home loans and save upto 2.67 Lakhs (*Terms and conditions apply) and an additional 4% Goods and Services Tax (GST) deduction will also be available.

Buying A New Apartment Just Got A Lot Easier With Virtual Home Buying!
Amidst the second wave of Covid-19, virtual home buying is again becoming increasingly common these days. For now, it is much safer to take a virtual apartment consultation rather than physically going to numerous locations to watch them in person. Now is a great time to take the privilege of the virtual home buying process. This opens a substantial opportunity to digitize home purchasing steps end-to-end, keeping in mind varying behaviour, attitudes & desires of homebuyers. As many supposing homebuyers were not ready to travel in-person to sites or project locations due to this pandemic scenario. Ie. Literally, there were no face-to-face meetings; these were changed by fully contactless transaction infrastructure, virtual tours, meetings, online choice of apartments, digital documentation & payments. Let’s start by looking at the key steps of the virtual home buying process as a whole: Virtual Consultation This step is very similar to a typical buyer’s consultation, except that the meeting is held over video conference. In this step, the builder will connect you with a sales officer to help you get started on your virtual home buying journey, start the discussion, understand your requirements, price range, & any further criteria that you would like to have through video conference, phone or email etc. Virtual Tour Normally, we would plan a time to go & explore your favourite apartments once your list is shortlisted. The virtual tour of apartments is quite similar in approach. Once you find a property that you need to see, the sales officer will schedule a time to do a walkthrough/video tour of the apartment. The virtual tour can either be live over FaceTime or recorded for you to watch later. Preferably blocking the virtual tour time along with your sales officer is the best option so that you can see the apartment property live. As this lets you pose inquiries & can allow you to point out areas you are keen on seeing a greater amount of. Conduct Purchasing Process Online After conducting a video tour, you are confident that you have found the perfect home. Then you can start your purchase through the purchase contract & find chances for the available offers. When the real estate builder has reached terms that you feel worthy of & are confident will result in final purchase. That is right from enlisting an offer to signing a purchase contract such an ample home purchasing procedure can easily be done online via email & any other online platform. Home Inspection From a purchaser’s angle, even if you are virtually doing most of the home buying process, it is essential to schedule a professional home visit adhering to all COVID-19 protocols. Grab Advantage of Mobile & Technology Possibilities Advanced mobile & technology possibilities make the online home purchase process simpler, as they provide different choices to handily & safely bring the whole service process to the home purchaser such as signing documents via DocuSign & DigitalInk and can access remote mobile notaries to verify your identity & signatures to ensure that the whole buying process is completed efficiently and safely.

How does Varma Homes choose the best materials to build your dream home?
Materials are the solution to a well-functioning building, as an excellent structure can only be achieved with high-quality materials. When you buy a house or a flat, it is essential to have clear information regarding the quality of the products used at the time of booking. The materials used have a significant impact on the construction quality. The choice of building materials will determine the ultimate durability, longevity, and style of the building. That is where Varma Homes reigns high as the top builder in Kerala. At every step of construction, Varma Homes ensures quality to build a dream home because we value customer happiness above all. It can be difficult to choose the best product option for diverse needs. Therefore, in the construction industry, material selection is an important part as a number of aspects must be considered. As a trusted building partner in Kerala, projects of Varma Homes achieve optimal results by selecting a product or brand that mainly focuses on the following factors:1. Supreme quality: Only high-grade materials are sought after for all our projects, and hence we choose a brand that serves this purpose. These supreme products are capable of adapting to the varied climatic conditions without degenerating. The materials we select ensure the longevity and strength of the building structure, thereby becoming a profitable future asset for the user. 2. Availability: Brands with readily available stocks are another major factor we prefer. The availability of materials determines the finishing time of a building. Locally obtainable materials are our time savers, through which our work gets smoothly completed. This is one of the reasons why we earned the title for completing 6 projects within a span of 5 years ahead of schedule. 3. Cost: When searching for different types of construction materials, the prices have soared and always vary greatly. We believe that looking for the cheapest products is not always the best option because, if we don't consider their lifespan, we may end up having to restore them frequently, which is costly. We pick only construction materials that are both cost-effective and will last a long time. 4. Service: A great product gains our trust and we would vouch for it in the future too. Service is a pivotal aspect that strengthens a project from its inception to completion. As success is a combined effort, we opt for materials that provide us with the best service. By doing so, we have risen to great heights. When we choose vendors certain other points are taken into account such as:1. On-time delivery: We only work with vendors who deliver products on time, every time. Even minor project delays might result in dissatisfied consumers and financial losses. As a result, we only work with vendors who produce products on time to avoid delays in our work. 2. Wide selection of materials: A great vendor would have a wide variety of items and supplies on hand. This way, we can get all of the goods we need in one place. This helps us save time by eliminating unnecessary delays in procuring from various providers for various projects. 3. Proven experience: Using a supplier who hasn't been around for a long time is always a risk. That is why we take care to collaborate with vendors who have extensive experience in this industry. Senior managers and the sales team of Varma Homes are involved in deciding on the brand or material for a project. We choose the final brand or material only after considering their suggestions. The most important thing is that we never cut corners on material quality to save money. During the material selection process, the purchase department of Varma Homes places the greatest emphasis on this element. Sustainable InitiativesExtensive experience has shown us how much waste is generated in the construction of not only buildings, but any structure for that matter. We intend to employ every component that goes into construction cautiously and properly in our projects for a productive cause. We also have an IGBCE LEED Certificate in this area. Since its inception, Varma Homes has effectively established itself as one of Kerala's most trusted builders. We started with residential developments in Kochi and then expanded to Trivandrum and Thrissur. Our main launches will take place in Calicut and other major cities in the near future. It is our full-time goal to provide the best value and service in our price range, and we've succeeded time after time. It is because we believe in constructing happiness for everyone by fulfilling their dream abode.
