Purchasing a Resale Flat – Here is a Checklist for you

It is never easy to have the best of both worlds. When you are buying a resale property you are primarily listening to your wallet and going for a purchase that is easy on it. Plus, there are other advantages coming bundled up: The infrastructure in the locality is almost always in place, already. The waiting time for construction completion is zero, which means you can take immediate possession and get yourself a tax benefit from the first EMI itself. And, there are no sugar-coated or cloaked features for this market. Whatever you see in front of your eyes is yours once you own it. But hold on! Is that all that you see on the surface? What about the tricky thing called “quality” that lies somewhere underneath? Can home inspection help you get a true picture of it?

Here is a guide to help you unearth the quality issues in a resale property:

1. What is the age of the property?

A resale real estate property is considered as a good investment option when it is between 1 to 5 years of age. A property of a maximum of 10 years can still be considered for buying if it is found to be really well maintained. But then, how can you be sure about its maintenance status? The best way is to demand an inspection report showing clearance of the property against various parameters or at least, the documents showing the building’s repair history. If the seller/ broker fails to show any of the documents, go for an inspection yourself. Yes, the service will cost you a little more in addition to the property’s quoted price but will save you from bigger expenses and hassles in the long run.

2. Try to understand the reason behind selling

It may help you uncover the hidden problems and assess whether the issues can be addressed permanently. Some of the reasons are construction defects, hidden issues such as damp, leakage, etc.

3. Know the surroundings well

By surroundings, we do not mean only the neighbourhood and the amenities available in the vicinity but the landscape of the place. For example, if it is a low-lying area and water-logging is a problem there, then you can expect dampness or logistics of commuting to be the issues in the property. The same issue will be there if the place where the property is located is built on reclaimed swampland. In a township where the groundwater is too saline or ‘hard,’ salt corrosion and ugly stains will be usual problems, respectively. Try to know these details before deciding to buy the property.

4. Potential problem areas to look for in a resale property

While a professional home inspection is always advisable before investing in a property, you, as an aware homebuyer, can do this DIY visual inspection:

A. Interiors

Do you see paint-swellings or water patches on the ceiling?

Paint swellings are the most common visible signs of water damage on the ceiling. If you come across any such sign or see a watery patch, do not rule out the possibility of a plumbing system error. But, if your apartment is on the top floor and you are having this problem then it must be the roofing system that needs your attention. Nonetheless, you cannot think of a remedy unless you are sure about the reason behind the seepage. Only a professional home inspection can identify the root cause of such problems and help you make a decision regarding the best repair method.

Does the wall-paint appear uneven and flaky?

There can be multiple causes behind flaky or peeling paint: high humidity, excessive condensation, poor surface preparation, dirty wall surface, intense sunlight and high temperatures, use of surface-incompatible paint solution, and too many coats on the same surface. A repaint job can help you get rid of the flakiness but will it solve the underlying problems? How about considering a home inspection that guides you to a permanent solution?

Watch out for hollow tiles on the floor

Hollow tiles can be an indicator of tiles getting debonded which can lead to loosening and cracking of tiles. This can lead to water intrusion through cracks and which can create further problems in other associated or attached areas and damp/ seepage issues, thereby increasing maintenance cost and hassles to residents. If you come across tiles that emit a hollow sound by simple tapping,contact your builder or tile expert and get them replaced immediately.

Be careful with water stagnancy – an indication of wrong sloping

Floor slope cannot be checked without proper equipment but stagnant water can tell a lot about sloping. If you find water stagnation in any part of your home get the floor slope checked professionally. The best places to look for stagnant water are the kitchen, bathrooms, and balconies.

Doors and windows must open and close properly

This can be tedious but not a difficult task to perform – check all the doors and windows of the flat. See if the doors are squeaking, making contact with the floor while closing and opening, if the latches are in place, and windowpanes and frames are not leaving gaps when closed. This will ensure the quality of air inside the home and also check intrusion of water from outside.

Check plumbing fittings and faucets for leakage

Water leakage is an all-time nightmare for everyone. It has a multiplier effect. Leakage causes wastage of water forcing us to switch on the pump more frequently. Moreover, the addition of excess moisture to the indoor air leads to dampness which affects both the aesthetics of our home as well as our health in a slow but severe way. So, detect leaks carefully. Basin pipes and faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms are still easy to check but if there is a leakage in the basement area and crawl spaces? Get a professional home inspection done and fix the leakage permanently. Who knows- your home may need remedial waterproofing. It is better to get it done before you move in with your family.

Check for the switches and MCB box

A comprehensive electrical inspection is much needed for any home. Check for the switches if they are ISI marked and in working condition or not. The MCB box should be also checked if all its parts are fitted properly. Visual inspection helps but to be sure that there is no internal problem in your electrical wiring system, opt for an electrical & safety inspection.

If it is a semi-furnished flat look for decay in the woodwork

Damaged timber, patches of spore dust, fine strands on timber, mushroom-like fruiting bodies, and damp smell are the basic symptoms that your furnished flat has wood decay. Remove the particular piece of furniture right away and get the rest of it polished once again to breathe new life into them.

Give ventilation – The topmost priority

A well-ventilated house is at the core of a happy, healthy life. So, make sure your new home has enough windows and open space and nothing is obstructing the daylight from entering the rooms. Adequate ventilation keeps damp issues at bay extending the life of the property for years.

B. Exteriors

The exterior of a house is the part exposed to the scorching sun, rain, dust, humidity, and other pollutants. Its construction, durability, and maintenance play a crucial role in determining the health and condition of the interior. So, while inspecting the property, you must give special importance to the exterior, especially to the following areas:

Exterior wall paint

Opt for weatherproof emulsion paint1 for better protection of your house.

Piping system

If it is a standalone property and an old one, check if the plumbing system is done with PVC pipes or not. If you come across any cast iron or galvanized iron pipe, consider replacing it immediately for they tend to rust over the years and clog up easily.

Roof/ Terrace

Try to find out if waterproofing has been done. If not, you can consider doing it or covering it with a roof covering sheet. The best sheets for roofing are bitumen roof sheets, weather-resistant PVC composite panels, plastic material synthetic resin tile sheets, and cellular plastic sheets, etc.

Common spaces

You cannot make any change in the common spaces; still before making the purchase, look for the lobby, staircase, landing areas, garage space, boundary wall, and the main gate to be sure about the building security.

Nearness to any big tree or overhead cable line

If you spot any of these two things alert the builder and if possible, the civic authority for both can lead to accidents.

5. Why invest in a home inspection while purchasing a resale flat?

Home inspection is not merely a process of confirming the wellness of your property; it helps you understand your home better. When you purchase a resale property2 you invariably consider three things before moving in- repair, renovation, and making changes in the layout (sometimes). In all the three cases, a prior home inspection helps you get an idea on how to go about things keeping cost under control.

Let us try to understand this with examples from the real-life situation:

Repair

You purchase a resale flat where you see the wall paint is coming out at places. There is no visible damp effect anywhere in the apartment. You consider this as normal and after removing the old paint you paint the walls anew. After a year or so, the same thing starts happening and then, you discover the building is damp. If you had done a damp/ seepage inspection before, you would have been able to understand the real source of problem for repairs and invest in waterproofing the wall before repainting it.

Renovation

Renovation gives a completely new look to an old (or resale) property through needful changes. You may consider replacing mosaic or marble flooring with floor tiles, iron-framed glass windows with the windows with aluminium or stainless steel profiles, wooden bathroom doors of with uPVC doors and so on as per your taste but the money spent becomes worthwhile only when the renovation done is guided by a proper home inspection report. For instance, you can put up wallpaper on a wall shared by a bathroom not knowing it is damp but it will invariably start peeling within a few months.

Layout changes

A layout change gone wrong is a common thing in resale properties. It could be like poor space allocation to corridors and walkways, neglecting the need to create adequate storage, treating installation and furniture as an afterthought, changing the plumbing / electrical layouts or mismatching the floor plan and your lifestyle. Think wisely or hire a home inspector to guide you well in this venture. Even interior designers are not qualified enough to do a deep dive in most cases.

Nothing can be more profitable than buying a flat at a price lower than its market value! But it does not end with bagging a good deal. After all, a home is a home, whether it is resale or new. You are putting your hard-earned money into it, and in most likelihood, you will be living there with your family for a good number of years. So, you must not leave any doubt area unaddressed before moving into it. Get a home inspection done to identify the masked hazards and make your stay as hassle-free and happy as possible.

Over and above these, you should also go about protecting your property from the routine issues that may crop up while buying your home. Read through for these in detail…… www.macj-abuyerschoice.com/avoid-13-unlucky-mistakes-as-a-first-time-home-buyer.

UP-RERA to propose stress fund to complete pending realty projects

Noida

In the first step towards providing some relief to homebuyers, the Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP-Rera) is set to propose the creation of a stress fund to complete pending real estate projects.

After tabling the proposal at its board meeting in Lucknow, the regulator will open it for suggestions and discussion, after which it is likely to send it to the UP government.

Homebuyers who invested in several projects have been demanding a stress fund to help cash-strapped builders with initial liquidity.

However, their demand has so far not received any response from the state or central government.

UP-Rera members told TOI that given the abysmal financial state of some of the projects in Noida and Greater Noida, it could be difficult for any agency to come on board to help complete construction without financial backing from the government.

“We have created a proposal. However, it will be weighed unanimously by the entire board in Lucknow. While the law takes its course to deal with the injustice by the builders towards the buyers, we, as a real estate regulator, will take a balanced and poised stance. Our objective is to help buyers get their flats. Wherever we can, we will mediate to help completion,” UP-Rera member Balwinder Kumar told TOI.

“Given the huge count of flats that are pending here where builders are in a financial mess, we now want to see if a financial package for completing these flats can be created,” he added. Kumar, however, did not divulge the fine print of the proposal.

Homebuyers cannot start making payments and banks do not offer loans in projects which are in a stalled condition, some have argued.

“The builders have to show at least some sign of construction before buyers can start paying their pending dues on projects, which have come to an absolute standstill. Whichever agency comes forth for the task of completion would need seeding liquidity which the government ought to provide through a stress fund,” Abhishek Kumar, president of the Noida Extension Flat Owners Welfare Association (Nefowa) and also a member of the UP-Rera Conciliatory Committee, said.

In June, the Forum For People’s Collective Efforts, an apex body of homebuyers, had urged the state government to set up a Rs 10,000-crore stress fund for completing pending projects in the next five years. The forum had suggested that the government should strip off personal and company assets of promoters of delayed projects to recover the amount spent for completing the works using this fund.

9 Essential Tips for Plumbing Maintenance

  • Fix leaky faucets & showerhead
  • Unclog slow drains
  • Check all exposed pipes for water leaks
  • Be careful what you flush or pour down the drain
  • Check the water pressure
  • Fix leaking toilets
  • Clean Cistern tank
  • Cleaning of Plumbing trap
  • Clean Faucet Aerator

What do you do when you have your bathroom/ kitchen faucet leaking or rusted pipes? Wouldn’t you prefer to avoid these plumbing problems? Understanding the problems and performing preventative maintenance can help you avoid plumbing problems and its dangerous repercussions on the health of your home.

Plumbing1 systems can develop issues in all sorts of ways, most of which are quite difficult to detect. By the time a plumbing problem does advance far enough to start causing some obvious symptoms, it is probably already done considerable damage. You obviously don’t want that to happen, so what do you do?

Taking care of your home’s plumbing is essential to keeping the clean water flowing in and flushing your home’s waste out. Most people don’t think about their plumbing until a problem arises. By then, however, they are left with a huge mess and, ultimately a high repair cost and water damage to your home. It is important to have periodical maintenance of your plumbing system.

Plumbing maintenance is something you should do regularly to catch small problems that can turn into large, expensive problems later. Maintenance also helps you conserve water and save you from further problems.

Here, are 9 essential maintenance tips for your maintaining your plumbing system:

1. Fix leaky faucets & showerhead

Leaky faucets can waste a lot of water. And if you don’t fix a dripping faucet or showerhead, the drip can get worse over time. They aren’t just a nuisance – they could be costing you more money on your bills. Those problems can cause water damage. To prevent problems, check your faucets regularly for leaks and make repairs as needed.

2. Unclog slow drains

When the water is slow to drain there may be a problem. If water takes a long time to drain, there could be a build-up of debris in your pipes. Dirt, dust & other debris — all of this nasty stuff can cause blockage in your drain. Before it gets out of hand, unclog any debris. You can read the blog by Wiki how to know how to unclog the drain2. This preventative maintenance tip can be done every few months and will get the drain flowing again.

3. Check all exposed pipes for water leaks

You can visually check exposed pipes for leakage at some intervals of time. Also Watch for visible signs of a leak such as water stains on walls and ceilings, or puddles of water. If there is any cracked or broken pipe, then get it repaired to avoid further problem.

4. Be careful what you flush or pour down the drain

The problem with drains and toilets is that so many things can get flushed down them. The easiest way to prevent problems with your pipes is to be careful what you flush or pour down them. Don’t flush anything other than toilet paper and human waste down the toilet. Don’t pour anything that can create problem down the drain.

Flour or other related food stuff – these are just some of the things people pour down their sink. The problem is, items like these will block your drains and cause problems with your water supply. Instead, put these items in a waste bin.

5. Check the water pressure

Water pressure is how much force with which it is coming out of your faucets and shower heads. When water pressure is on a higher side, then there are chances of water leakage. If water is splashing too much due to pressure, you can regulate the flow of water with the help of main valve of the area (like bathroom).

6. Fix leaking toilets

If your toilet is leaking, then it is very important to check the cause of the leakage. This can happen due to absence of gasket or improper installation of WC etc. In case of leakage, get it checked or repaired by a skilled plumber.

7. Clean Cistern tank

Cistern tanks need periodic cleaning to prevent unwanted odour and the build up of bacteria.Cisterns can develop leaks which are caused by blockages. So it is important to clean them depending on the type of cistern. If it is a general type cistern, then it can be cleaned easily. To know about it, you can read blog by Wiki How3. But if it is a concealed cistern, then servicing to be done by the authorized vendor.

8. Cleaning of Plumbing trap

Plumbing trap is a part of the drainage system. It is developed or designed in such a way that it retains a small quantity of waste water from the discharge, of fitting to which, it is attached, as a barrier to prevent foul gases or air entering in the building. This includes cleaning of floor trap at outlet, bottle trap at sink, etc. So cleaning them is required for proper maintenance of plumbing.

9. Clean Faucet Aerator

Faucet aerators4 are small, but they actually serve a pretty significant purpose. They break up your faucets’ water streams into a bunch of smaller streams, and by doing so, greatly reduce the amount of water that pours out of spouts — all without sacrificing the water pressure.

Aerators are designed in such a way to act as filters as well as water savers. This means faucet aerators catch a lot of the silt, minerals, and other debris that flow through your tap water. Over time, debris builds up and can cause the flow from your faucet to decrease in strength. It is important to clean faucet aerators and screens to remove any debris from them.

Conclusion

Don’t let poorly maintained home plumbing prevent you from getting the best water available!

Performing preventative maintenance for plumbing system of your home, can help you avoid a major plumbing problem and can save your money. Sometimes you may need a repair after checking issues to keep them maintained. Although some repairs can be do-it-yourself, others may require more expertise. If you feel any point of time, to have an inspection of your plumbing system, you can contact professional home inspection services.

Centre plans to set up common online platform for RERA of all states, UTs

NEW DELHI

The Centre has planned to set up a common online platform for the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) of all states and UTs, a move which will provide an opportunity to home-buyers, builders and authorities to exchange views. Announcing the government’s plan here, Housing and Urban Affairs Secretary Durga Shanker Mishra said that with this platform, the real estate law will become “more strong”.

Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, all states are mandated to constitute their respective real estate regulator RERA which provides proper protection to home buyers.

“We are working to introduce a common platform where RERA of all states and Union Territories (UTs) can exchange their views. With this, RERA will be more strong,” he said.

According to the ministry, as per the norms of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban), home-buyers will not be able to avail Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) under the mission if real estate project is not registered under RERA.

Under PMAY (U), home-buyers can avail an interest subsidy of upto 2.67 lakh.

Later, Mishra told reporters that on the online platform, any state RERA can study an order of other states in a particular matter. Also, home-buyers and builders can give their views on this issue.

Giving details about real estate projects on the fourth anniversary of PMAY (U), AMRUT and Smart Cities Mission, the secretary said that till now, over 42,000 projects have been registered under RERA while more than 32,000 real estate agents have been registered.

On his part, Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that wherever the central real estate law has been implemented, it has made a “very big difference”.

RERA is a real estate regulator and it gives an opportunity to home-buyers to register their complaint against builders, Puri also said.

Mishra said that 30 states and UTs have notified RERA, but West Bengal has notified its own real estate regulator – Housing and Industrial Regulation Act, 2017 (HIRA).

In July last year, the ministry had sought the opinion of the Law Ministry over West Bengal notifying its own real estate law instead of implementing the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act enacted by Parliament.

Home Inspection: A New Lucrative Career in India

Although the concept of home inspection is new in India, the demand for the service has been on a steady rise. A large number of Indians, as well as NRI homebuyers, are opting for home inspection before investing in a property, new or resale. And interestingly, it is not the homebuyers only who are getting benefitted from it; all the stakeholders in the real estate space including sellers, resellers, builders and developers, and interior designers are reaping benefits from home inspection. It is turning out to be a win-win proposition for all. This remarkable end-user response is drawing support from the government as well. Recently introduced RERA also encourages quality check of the real estate property purchased by an individual. So, clearly, home inspection as a service has a bright future, which means, one can consider it as a lucrative field to build a successful career.

The job of a home inspector

To know if you have a career in home inspection, you must first try to understand what all the job of a home inspector covers:

  • Studying the property details:
    1. Whether a property is under construction, newly built and ready to move-in, new but second hand, or old; an apartment in a housing society or a standalone house, etc.
    2. Construction and repair history
    3. Location details: Proximity to a water body, low-lying area, elevated area, the climatic condition of the place, etc.
  • Visiting the site
  • Inspecting each and every component of the property – exterior as well as the interior: walls, ceilings, floors, doors and windows, plumbing system, electrical wiring system, furniture, appliance outlets, driveway, roofs etc. Learning how to use advance scanning devices.
  • Documenting the observations made.
  • Producing a report combining text and images.
  • Advising the best possible solutions to the damages detected.

Who can be a home inspector?

To become a Home Inspector, the requirement and qualification are not too difficult. Even a graduate, the diploma holder, retired professional, educated housewives or non-technical people can become home inspectors. They need to be smart & intelligent enough to run & manage their business. They have to do a home inspection certification course along with related practical training. They can enrol in an online or offline home inspection certificate course1 and learn the nitty-gritty of the job.

This is also a good career option for engineers and interior designers. Home inspector is a new career option for them. For the core job, people from streams like civil, mechanical, electrical are better suited.

What are the skills needed to become a successful home inspector?

More than a degree it is the following skills that are needed to become a successful home inspector:

  • Observing skills – the person must have an eye for detail.
  • Well conversant with the construction processes and materials used.
  • Highly diligent, non-tiring
  • Analytical
  • Moderate risk-taking ability

A basic sense of aesthetics is a must if you want to join this profession because without that you may not be able to read some subtle signs of damage in a home.

Career prospects in home inspection: An outlook

The sky is the limit for students qualified in home inspection. There are huge, untapped skill development and business opportunity waiting there for them to explore. They must go for it before the competition rises and the field becomes saturated just like the way it has happened in many other sectors. Instead of waiting for a conventional job or landing a not-so-satisfactory job after completing graduation / post-graduation, they must educate themselves in a new subject like a home inspection. After completing the home inspection course2, they can kick-start their career by interning with one of the premier home inspection companies like MACJ – A Buyers Choice in India and then choose to go for a full-time job. The median annual salary for inspectors in 2019 is around Rupees 3 to 4 lakhs. The projected growth rate for home inspectors in India is almost similar to the average of all the emerging occupations in India.

However, there is nothing like starting your own venture in home inspection. You can be your own boss from Day 1 and start earning around Rupees 50,000 or much more per month!

Here’s how you do it:

Franchise opportunity in home inspection

The concept of franchising in home inspection is gaining popularity in India. Entrepreneurs who once used to run their own standalone businesses are now considering a shift to the franchise model for growing their business. The reasons are pretty simple. Buying a franchise reduces the risk of going through the entire process business set-up to a large extent. The franchisor provides a franchisee with an already established business model, all the necessary guidance on an ongoing basis, and assistance in terms of systems and instruments (in some cases), inspection/marketing, etc – everything in return for a fee that can be one-time or periodic in nature. Other general advantages of buying a franchise3 are:

  • Independence of doing business supported by an already established brand
  • You don’t need any prior business experience. You are trained by your franchisor.
  • Higher rate of success than any start-up business
  • Pre-established processes & systems in place.
  • Securing finance is easier in a franchise business
  • You can build on the brand’s reputation, brand image, and proven work tactics

Entrepreneurs with prior experience in construction and home remodelling or interior design may find this business model suitable as they already have a working knowledge of the same. With a perfect team of professionals, a couple of licenses, training, and a proper business plan they can start earning handsomely from it from the first year itself.

Viability of the franchise model in this sunshine industry in India

Home inspection is still largely an unorganized sector in India with only a few big names like e-Ghar, MACJ – A Buyer’s Choice, HomeInspektor, measurement, check prop, Nemmadi, etc making an impact. The industry is a sunrise sector with little competition at this stage, leaves good scope for promising entrepreneurs to make headway and succeed. Before the socio-economic scenario changes and the sector reorients itself, these entrepreneurs must take the plunge and leverage the success of these brands by becoming their franchisee or start on their own.

If you see yourself as one of these entrepreneurs here are the three reasons why you must not delay any longer:

  1. The sector is new, which means there is a lot of potential in it
  2. The sector serves the heart of the Indian economy – Real Estate
  3. Over 100% ROI potential on an annualized basis

India’s startup scene4 is looking brighter than ever. The ecosystem, which is the world’s 2nd largest, is estimated to grow at the rate of 10-12% year-over-year. In H1 20195 alone, Indian startups raised US$4.88 billion, an increase of 8.7% YoY. You must cash on this buoyancy. Ride the wave and build a successful career in home inspection.
