Rental Agreements

An unregistered 11 month rental agreement could be done on a Rs.100  stamp about 10 years ago. Then it jumped to Rs.200, later Rs.500, and now it’s Rs.510 e-stamp ( the amount a typical e-stamp vendor charge ). The way these rates are increasing, it feels like they’re moving at warp speed. Registration isn’t needed for 11 month agreements, but having it on e-stamp makes it legally valid.

A shop, office or warehouse serves a different purpose and attracts different clientele. Tenants/Buyers value property attributes based on their specific needs [ in other words - value is subjective ] Contract terms can vary significantly between different deals, even if it is the same overall, in a broader context. The condition & upkeep of a property significantly impacts its value Beyond where the property is, factors like acc...

Trivandrum

As someone born and brought up here and someone who now earns a living doing commercial real estate in Trivandrum , I will admit upfront, I am biased. But I am also someone who tries to keep his eyes and ears open. I travel the city, speak to people on the ground, keep an eye on the relevant news, watch how neighborhoods change, how deals unfold.
