Steady growth of real estate in Ghaziabad

Called as the “Gateway of Uttar Pradesh”, Ghaziabad is the fastest growing city of the country. It is a planned industrial city, which is complete with well-connected roads and railways. With a developed infrastructure, educational institutions and health centres, Ghaziabad is a perfect place to live in. With so many housing clusters such as Indirapuram, Vaishali, Vasundhara and Kaushambi, Ghaziabad provides affordable housing for its people. There are several new projects coming up in these areas that cater to both middle income group of people and high income group of people.

The major realty growth in Ghaziabad is mainly contributed by the NH-24 and NH 58, which are gaining popularity for residential properties in Ghaziabad. As the locations around these highways are located near to Delhi and also has various infrastructural developments, they boost the real estate of Ghaziabad. Also the availability of flats in Ghaziabad at affordable prices have attracted potential buyers to it. Both residential and commercial development happens mainly near these two highways. In short you can say only NH24 and NH-58 helps in keeping the Ghaziabad real estate in peak.

The Metro line that runs in Vaishali at Arthala has made a positive impact in its real estate... Also the multilateral flyover at Ghazipur Chowk, a flyover at Mohan Nagar Chowk connecting NH-58 and a link road connecting NH-58 to the residential zone at Raj Nagar Extension all offer easy and convenient connectivity between different localities of the city making people to invest in any of these areas without the fear of accessibility. With a launch of several new projects in NH-24 and NH-58, these area came into prominence in real estate in Ghaziabad.

Located in close proximity to Delhi, Ghaziabad has a mixture of people from different culture and classes that help in increasing demand for both affordable and premium flats in Ghaziabad. So people who work in the other costly cities around Ghaziabad such as Noida and Greater Noida prefer to stay here due to its connectivity and affordability.

Investors in Ghaziabad also follow a particular trend to keep moving with the growth of real estate in the city. They prefer to buy newly launched properties in Ghaziabad and sell them within a short span of time. In this way they try to increase the appreciation rate of properties. For instance if an investor buys a property today for Rs. 30 lakhs, try to sell in in a period of three to four months to a Rs.40 to 45 lakhs. This helps them in constant cash flow and in increasing the rate of appreciation of properties.

Not just investor played a main role in improving the real estate sector of Ghaziabad, but also the government. The government helped in improving and promoting the industrialization in and around the highways. Apart from residential areas, industries, logistics, production units, environmental protection facilities, public utilities, social infrastructure and administrative services help the real estate thrive in these areas. Hence the demand for residential apartments in Ghaziabad increased with time. These areas witnessed a lot of residential projects launching at a rapid speed.

Points that should not be overlooked while buying an apartment!



Indians are known to overlook aspects which are considered important by people worldwide. For example, while buying a car in India safety and quality takes the back seat while mileage and pricing takes the front seat! We are indeed a practical group of people but some important factors have to be considered while buying something that stays with us for a long time. And when it comes to long term investments, buying a home is the most important purchase of all.
In this article, we try to cover some of the points which are generally overlooked by us but should actually be considered as important as the price and location of the house we buy.

Better safe than sorry – Home Protection
Be it a rural area, town or a metropolitan like Chennai or Mumbai, buying property should always consider the safety aspect of the home. If you are purchasing a plot make sure that the locality has a police station, fire service center and also opt for a gated community for added security.
If it is an apartment make sure that the doors and windows and the locks provided by the builder have grilled reinforcements and upgrade them to better quality gear if needed. If your purchase is a retirement solution, make sure that there is help readily available in the form of an association that is helpful.

Legal opinions and second opinions!
Never jump in blindly going by the tags ‘Clear Title’, ‘100% Documents’ and such. Those are commonly used marketing jargons that are in no way validated by anyone. Get the copy of the documents from the builder / developer / promoter and get a legal opinion of it.
Don’t shy away from getting a second opinion if not confident enough. Also, if the property ownership is going to be joint ownership, get the legalities out of the way first up without rushing into it at the last moment.

Surroundings matter
It not just how the house is on the inside, but the approach and surroundings also matter. Often builders lay out a lawn, a pool surrounded by a jogging track and greenery to attract buyers. But if the project is nearby to a waste land or a swamp it is going to be a tricky place to live in!
In the same way, if the approach roads are not well laid or if there are slums nearby, if will be a problem in the longer run. Residential apartments near to industries that pollute are highly not recommended. Research around and see and ask opinions about the locality.

Builder History
There is nothing wrong in trusting a new builder but it is always a safe bet to invest your hard earnt money with a property developer who is well established in the real estate market. With experience comes better quality. Also, visit old projects to see how the construction holds up. Do check on how long the builder supports maintenance for the building after handing over for occupation. The longer the warranty, the more confidence the builder has on his own project!
