When thinking of
real estate as an investment, the first thought that comes to the mind is to
buy a flat apartment or a villa. How many of us actually think of plots as an
investment? Plots can be a profitable investment when it comes to long term
investment. Bangalore as a city is
growing and has many plots and open land available for construction and
development purposes. The prices of flats and apartments are fixed by the
prevailing markets. Investing in plots is a different game all together.

Real estate is a
growth sector and new market influences keep coming in, and a owning a plot of
a reasonable size with desired authorities can prove really profitable. The
plot can be used for varied purposes not just residential purposes. Retail,
commercial, hospitality, healthcare and office real estate developers will also
be the ones to take interest in plots. As an when areas develop, after a point
the market starts shifting and plots gain interest. Land can then be sold in
not just a seller’s market but a buyer's market also. As an individual buying
land could prove cheap and result in a lucrative capital investment.
When buying a
plot you also need to consider many legal factors, like whether the land is Agricultural
or Non-Agricultural (NA), as you are not allowed to do any kind of construction
on agricultural land. Even if the land is non agricultural, there are certain
formalities and clearances that need to be availed from the local authorities
to use it for construction. Also before purchasing any properties, one should also ensure that it is not part of any area
plan.
Plots in Bangalore are available at the outskirts of the city and in
newly developing areas. Some of the
popular areas are:
- Devanahalli International Airpo
- IVC Road
- Chikkaballapur
- Yellahanka
These areas are
developing and are soon to see major developments in terms on infrastructure. Being
a part of the new upcoming areas of Bangalore, they can prove to be a
profitable place to buy a plot in Bangalore.
