Maha RERA
RERA does not apply to projects where units are meant for leasing only, and not for any sale. Only leases which have benefits of sale rights can be covered at the time of sale by RERA. RERA is an act for private developments, Government undertakings do not fall under the Act.
Availability of layout plans by RERA registered projects would lead to the process of space standardization. The pre-lease deals in commercial real estate are likely to close faster as under RERA, commercial real estate transactions would become more structured, transparent and streamlined.
The biggest benefit transpiring out of RERA that will interest buyers is the carpet area based pricing module. RERA will empower buyers with a standardized carpet area value comparable with various other offerings from different developers in the same locality. The new pricing model will offer a level playing ground to both buyers & developers
Retail Investors
Retail investors, the major takers of under-construction projects for the purpose of assured returns, now have undisputed access to comprehensive and transparent information about the developer, their track record and financial stability.Availability of authentic information has made it easier for various investors to gauge the financial strength and past performance of the developer. Even the cost and time required to perform preliminary research and to some extent due diligence will reduce.
Office Space
In the case of office space occupiers, RERA will provide the much-required clarity in terms of building layout plans, available services and statutory approvals. The enhanced organisation in the industry has also lead to space standardisation.
Further, it is mandatory for all developers, including the Grade B commercial developers, to provide all facilities, amenities and occupancy services marketed by them to the customer. Moreover, under the legal veracity of RERA, it is mandatory to disclose the land title of the project. Hence, clarity on the ownership and type of land, which is imperative in any real estate transaction, would be easily available to the prospective customers.
