 started my project on 20th may 2009 in Apeksha Group (A Real Estate Consultancy
Company) and was asked to study µThe consumer¶s perception and Expectations while he
goes to buy a house¶.

 was asked to collect the information related to real estate and the information needed to
buy or search property from the educated people who can really have experience of
purchasing property or want to buy house or property. For that  targeted to meet people
who were doing jobs at top levels in various organizations.  collected data from Delhi
and NCR region.

First of all  prepared the questionnaire according to the job given to me. The objectives
of my questionnaire are as follows ±

Finding the consumer¶s perception while he goes to buy a house.

Finding the expectations of a consumer when he goes to buy a house.

Finding all the solution to their perceptions and expectations.

A secondary objective was to gather information about what customers want from real
estate developer and Regulatory body working in Real estate sector.

 started my survey from PRAGAT MADAN New Delhi.  collected the data of 300
people which has helped me to find out their perception and expectations. Few of them
are as follows -

People do not have a well defined expectation from the Developers.

People are not aware about the process of buying a house /property.

People are not aware of the legal and technical documents which they shouldcheck while
buying or searching house/property.

Whatever information builder provide to customer in there broachers are condition based
and customer does not understand it in same way.

Builders not selling their project directly to END User.

People do not know much about the Real Estate sector.

The future of the real estate sector in ndia is going to be guided by two important
factors, namely suitable amendments in the Foreign Direct nvestment (FD)
guidelines in townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction ±
development projects as well as abolition of Service Tax on the construction
industry especially the housing sector. Conversely, if the abolition per se is not
possible then drastic modifications in the existing Service Tax norms is the need of
the hour. This Sector is already overburdened with taxes; any further imposition of
taxes in any form would adversely affect the growth of this sector of the economy.

The importance of the Real Estate sector, as an engine of the nation¶s growth, can
be gauged from the fact that it is the second largest employer next only to
agriculture and its size is close to US $ 12 billion and grows at about 30% per
annum. Five per cent of the country¶s GDP is contributed by the housing sector. n
the next three or four or five years this contribution to the GDP is expected to rise
to 6%. The Real Estate ndustry has significant linkages with several other sectors
of the economy and over 250 associated industries. One Rupee invested in this
sector results in 78 paise being added to the GDP of the State. A unit increase in
expenditure in this sector has a multiplier effect and the capacity to generate
income as high as five times. f the economy grows at the rate of 10% the housing
sector has the capacity to grow at 14% and generate 3.2 million new jobs over a
decade.

Furthermore, this sector has witnessed a spurt in demand not just in residential
property but also in commercial property. A fast growing area is the .T. and .T.-
enabled services along with the BPO boom. Estimates worked out show that 42
million sq. ft. of space will be required every year till 2008, only in .T. and .T.-
enabled services especially in the cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and
Pune, which is also now gradually shifting to North ndia.

To achieve the much desired growth and development in the Real Estate Segment,
FCC would like to submit the following 10 points for consideration:
 2 A 
 2

 2!*#
nfrastructure status should be provided to
housing sector. This will enable easier access to low cost institutional funds as also
allow the sector to tap long term funds.



2
 
 "2#
The Government should consider setting up of Real
Estate Mutual Funds/ nvestment Trusts to provide the much needed support to the
cash starved housing sector, similar to the structures adopted for Estate Mutual
Funds/ nvestment Trusts in developed real estate markets such as, USA,
Singapore. Hong Kong, etc. Real Estate Mutual Funds/ nvestment Trusts would
be an efficient mode for providing equity financing as against debt, which is
currently the norm for financing real estate developments in ndia.

&5
 )#
n some States the Stamp Duty is as high as 14- 15 % of the value of
the transaction. Astonishingly in the ndian context, not only are the rates high, but
also the levy of Stamp Duty is applicable in every subsequent transaction, be it the
initial transfer purchase of land or on further sale of the same land after
development or any other succeeding transaction. Opportunely some states have
brought the Stamp Duty down to between 6-8 %, this should ideally be further
brought down to 2-3 % and made uniformly applicable across all states. However,
if the above suggestion is not acceptable then if stamp duty has already been paid
on one transaction, there should be a mechanism in the law, whereby there is a
provision for concession or a system of credit for any subsequent transactions. This
would avoid the resultant cascading effect of Stamp Duty, thereby reducing the
cost of a property. The concept of credit for taxes paid on subsequent transactions
already exists in other statutes such as CENVAT, VAT, Minimum Alternate Tax
(MAT), etc.
 3!A

2$!5#
There is a need to evolve a regulatory framework
that encourages participation of the private sector in bringing technical and
managerial expertise in formulating and delivery of basic amenities like water,
sanitation, sewerage, transport and electricity.

A$!A
B2#
Availability of land for housing projects has been constrained by a

variety of laws like the Rent Control Act and Urban Land Ceiling and Regulation
Act, which must be repealed in all the States. A necessary legal and policy
framework has to be put in place to restrict growth of slums and at the same time to
re-develop the slums into hygienic and livable.

A2 
B2#
The existing foreclosure laws are cumbersome as well as time
consuming and make it practically impossible for Housing Finance nstitutions
(HFs) to repossess a dwelling unit financed. HFs are reluctant to take risk and
continue to land primarily on salaried urban borrowers. Amendment of (National
Housing Board) NHB Act has already been initiated. The implementation process
needs to be expedited to bring in the required changes.

The notification specifies that

no construction activity to be taken up, inspite of the approval of plans by the
Competent Authority, till the environmental clearance has been sought. n cases
where approval has already been granted it is suggested that construction activities
should be allowed. n the intervening period the builder / developer can obtain the
environmental clearance certificate. n the case of the environmental clearance
certificate being denied then appropriate action if necessary and warranted can be
taken against the developer / builder and builder be given time to get clearance
before he applies for completion certificate, otherwise the completion certificate
will not be given Furthermore, in the case of future proposed projects the
environmental clearances should be taken by the States themselves or by the
planning bodies and not b individual builders.

"
AC !2!!#
The Land Acquisition Act of 1894, still, to a large extent,
governs the procurement of raw land. With the changing investment scenario it has
become necessary to review the existing law, in order to ensure that private
developers and colonizers procure the land directly from farmers and land owners
without putting undue financial burden on State/ Central Governments on land
acquisition for public purposes. Today, a builder is governed by ³Agriculture Land
Ceiling Act´ even after the land have been urbanized in the zonal plans / master
plans. This makes builders to create several companies in order to circumvent the
archaic laws. t is submitted that once the land has been urbanized and
incorporated in the master plan, then Agriculture Land Ceiling Act should not
apply and builders should be permitted to acquire lands as per their requirements,
for the development of townships.

!*
!A
42&
-.#
Suitable modifications in the FD guidelines
are required, particularly in repatriation of funds, clarification on the basic
definition of ³built-up area´, streamlining of Clearance procedures as well as the
opening up of the Retail Segment to FD. This aspect has been discussed in detail
in Section  of this paper.

4!A
'#
Service tax in relation to construction of residential complexes

having more than 12 houses have been proposed to be introduced as a new service.
However, no rationale has been provided for exclusion of services in relation to
construction of residential bungalows, which may not form part of µresidential
complexes¶.

Whenever a person goes to buy a house, he is very confused. At that time he

doesn¶t have a clear cut vision of, whether to go for this builder, that builder,
which place, genuine price and various other factors. So at that time what is there
in the mind of the consumer and what all things he is expecting from the builders,
etc.

Real estate sector is a vital section of ndian market structure. Since a lot of
opportunities are available in the real estate sector so there are a lot of companies
and Project developer are operating in ndian real estate sector. Then at this
junction the understanding of perception and knowing the expectations become
very much important.

So after finding the reason of all these we can provide maximum satisfaction
to customer.

Now a days many people are cheated by builder, and since builder are big gun so
very few people get justices against builder. t Raises a question - Does our
constitution really needs the law. NO!! We already have unlawful Activities
(Prevention) Act 1967 and TADA in 1987.

`Similarly we have laws but........the same story. Nobody cares/dares it. A question
arises that- Do we need RB or SEB. How many people (individuals) participate
in investing or reaping money from shares/bonds/MF, etc. may be 40% maximum.
t¶s a different issue that 70% of the people get affected due to share market result.
Similarly in today's real estate may be 50% of ndians get affected directly but
90% indirectly. You know the real cause of recession. t¶s again the same real-
estate sector in The US and of course some mortgage problem.

Actually we need to understand where a regulator is needed and where not. Three
basic needs ± Food, Clothing & shelter - Roti, Kapda and Maakan. Now everybody
knows Regulatory body in Food and Beverage is really important (not in ndia - so
Pepsi and Coke are doing business - poor us, 1st world countries do have). We
don't have as such a proper regulatory authority for Clothing (as it is cheaper here -
look at any 1st world country, they have). About home....... a dream of every man -
whether rich/poor black/fair.... it takes whole life to get a home.
65% of ndians have their own home at age of 62. Comparing with a shirt or a
burger........... This is really  t doesn't mean that earlier two is less
important....... what  mean to say is that MAKAAN is no lesser important. You
invest once and that¶s huge.

Govt. advertises about checking food quality, prices of a commodity, and problems
with auto, electrical equipments, and credit cards and........... But  haven't seen this
effort to educate people about real-estate aggressively.

What to do if you are at problem with your builder, what is map approval, how can
a common man get it, what is mutation, why is it important, - really more
important to any man than running after some credit card inflated bill or some
inflated charges taken by Big Bazaar - sort of problems. Money market is needed
to be regulated because it is the backbone of our economic system.
The amount of business real-estate industry is generating can't be no-longer
ignored. After 2001, probably everyman directly or indirectly is associated with
real-estate sector (see the investments in nfrastructure bonds only). After T and
TES industry, real-estate sector comes next in terms of people employed. The
value of stake holders in this sector is no lesser than 90%.

The involvement of more than 50% of the population (public representatives)

makes a govt. Why not a industry. People within (i.e. employees) and outside
(investors, buyers, and share-holders) if moderated by a central agency like RB (
name it RERB - Real Estate Regulatory Body of ndia), then life for everybody in
NDA might be safer.

The boom in the real estate saw emergence of many builders, who played upon the
emotional side of human nature to own one's own dream house, commercial space
etc. Besides the ever rising prices of the houses/flats etc attracted many to invest in
the real estate with a hope that their money will give the best returns if invested in
the real estate sector. The interest of the consumer in the real estate lead to heavy
bookings of the buildings, innovation of the concept of pre-launch bookings, the
flats/commercial space were sold while at the drawing board stage. The consumer
never bothered to check the credentials of the builder, sanctions by the competent
offices etc. nstead the consumers were led by alluring advertisements issued by
the builders, promising delivery of possession of constructed building/flat within
the stipulated time. The builders promised refund of money immediately on
cancellation, some of them also promised assured returns by way of rent.

After the bubble has burst, needless to say, the promises of the builders have gone
for six. The purchaser/consumers have paid the entire sale price/major
consideration and they are under debt of bank/financial institutions, savings have
evaporated and there is no sight of completed building. The promising builder has
vanished or has started avoiding calls; request for refunds, delivery of possession is
unheeded. nstead some builders have the audacity to demand more money on
account of alleged escalation cost with a remote possibility of possession being
handed over to them. What do poor and harassed consumers do in such
circumstances.

 need to emphasize consumer is not helpless and should not allow the builder to
run over him. He should fight for his right, the law of land supports him in this
regard. The Consumer Protection Act, 1986, will come to the rescue of such erring
builders and will force the builders to pay compensation to the consumer, hand
over the possession of the flat booked/alternative flat in the same locality and will
ask to builder to bear the cost of escalation, if any, on account of rise in price of
constructing a building. The purchaser/buyer is a consumer within the meaning of
the above mentioned Act and failure of the builder to hold on to the promise made
at the time of booking in delivering possession etc would constitute deficiency of
service.

A cheated customer can lodge a complaint with the consumer forums pointing out
the deficiency of services by the builder. A consumer court is divided into three
forums namely, district forum, state commission and National Commission. Where
the value of the property is less than twenty lakhs, the complaint will be filed in the
District Forum. Where the value of the property is more than twenty lakhs but less
than One Crore the complaint will be filed before the State Commission and where
the value of the property is in excess of Rs. One Crore the complaint will have to
be filed in the National Commission.

n the matter of DLF Universal Ltd Vs Brig (Retd)Kamal Sood, the National
Commission, reported as MANU/CF/0069/2007 was faced with a situation,
wherein the consumer was led by the advertisement of the builder of delivery
within stipulated time and consequently on the failure to deliver, the builder
contended that government permissions, such as approval of zoning plan, layout
plan and schematic building plan were not given, thus the delay in construction
should not be a ground for grant of compensation to the consumer. The consumer
was further burdened with the escalation cost due to such delay. The Honorable
National Commission observed that it is unfair trade practice on the part of the
builder to collect money from the prospective buyers without obtaining the
required permissions such as zoning plan, layout plan etc. t was further held that it
is the duty of the builder to obtain the requisite permissions or sanctions for
construction etc in the first instance, and thereafter recover the consideration
money from the purchaser of the flat/buildings. The National Commission further
observed that if there is any express promise that the premises would be delivered
within the stipulated time and if it is not done so, escalation cost is required to be
borne by the builder.

n another matter titled as Veena Khanna Vs Ansal Properties and ndustries

limited, reported as  (2007) CPJ 185(NC), the National Commission set aside an
order of the State Commission, wherein the builder was directed to refund the
money to the consumer along with the interest @ 13%. n the alternative, it was
directed that if the builder chooses to hand over the possession of the flat, the order
of refund with interest will not come in operation. The builder taking advantage of
the order refunded the money, because of the rise in the prices of the immovable
properties. The National Commission observed that refund of money with interest
at bank rate does not mean that the complainant is adequately compensated for
delay in construction of flat by the builder and not delivering the possession of the
flat. t was noted that because of the delay in construction and delay in deciding the
matter it is practically impossible for a consumer to purchase a flat at the market
price.

t was held that it was the duty of the state commission to direct the builder to
deliver the possession of the same flat or flat of similar size to the consumer with
compensation for delay in delivering the possession. Or in any circumstances,
adequate compensation ought to have been given so that the complaint could
purchase a new flat of the same size at the prevailing market rate. Mere payment of
interest is not an adequate compensation.

Be an informed consumer; buying a house is one of the most complicated and

expensive purchases you will ever make. As with most other things, you get what
you pay for. Look at and compare many houses in different areas. Once you have
seen something you like, assess its location. How far will you have to commuteš
What is the traffic likeš How does the neighborhood lookš What services are
availableš How good are the local schoolsš Will you be able to get your children
into themš What is the crime rate in the area, and what types of crimes have
occurred in the past couple of yearsš Visit the home on multiple occasions and at
different times of the day. Remember: location, location, location. t's one of the
biggest factors in setting the price of the home.

Before you make a written offer, know exactly what you are buying and what
the costs will be after you own it. For example, in addition to the monthly
principal and interest payments that you will have to finance the purchase of
your home, you will need to budget for utility bills, property taxes, and
insurance and maintenance costs. f you buy a home that has a homeowner's
association, you will also have to pay association fees. Some homes have
special assessments in addition to the regular property taxes. Make sure that
you ask the seller for copies of the past years" bills for these services, and that
you inquire as to whether there are any assessments scheduled to be placed on
the property in the future.
Also, check the condition of the house and any appliances, window
coverings and other items that you want included in the sale. Consider
purchasing a home warranty. For a minimum fee, the home warranty
company will insure that the house and the appliances are in working
condition. Many companies will provide coverage for washers, dryers, pools
and pool equipment, air conditioning, and some roof repairs. Your agent or
escrow holder can provide you with information on these policies.

An experienced local real estate agent can assist you in finding a home that
meets your particular needs. He or she will also have information about the
home and area that an outsider would never find just by looking at the
particular home. Most homes are listed for sale by a real estate broker who is
referred to as the 2G2
*. The seller's agent represents the seller. The
agent who helps you find the home is called the buyer's agent. Usually you
will not have to pay your agent a fee for the time and energy he or she
spends in finding the home and assisting you in closing the sale. The buyer's
agent's fee will be paid by the seller when you complete the purchase of the
home.

Your real estate agent will also assist you in negotiating the price, learning
about the community, obtaining a loan, inspecting the home, and in closing
the escrow. n some instances, a real estate agent can represent both the
buyer and the seller. This is referred to as a " 
*A) This must be
disclosed to you before you make an offer. t is advised that you proceed
carefully in this situation, since your agent will be working for both the seller
and you at the same time.

f you are not sure that you understand all of your rights and responsibilities,
it is advisable to see an attorney who is experienced in the purchase of
residential real estate. An attorney can help you with legal and tax questions
that come up during the purchase of the home, and can assist you in
reviewing all of the documents and reports that will be provided to you in the
process of purchasing the home. For more information on how to locate a
qualified attorney, order a free copy of the State Bar pamphlet How Can 
Find and Hire the Right Lawyerš To find out how to order a free copy of this
pamphlet and other State Bar consumer education pamphlets, call 415-538-
2280. Or visit the State Bar's web site(www.calbar.ca.gov) where you'll find
the bar's consumer education pamphlets, as well as information on ordering
them. The pamphlets also can be ordered in bulk.

n most cases, when you are preparing to buy a home, the seller must provide
you with a Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement. This is a pre-printed
form that lists many features or conditions about the home, the land, and the
area where the home is located. The seller must list on this form any possible
problems he or she is aware of that might affect your willingness to purchase
the home. This includes, for example, easements, rights of others to control
how you use the property, environmental problems, nonfunctioning
equipment, zoning and building violations, and special assessments. The
seller's agent must visually inspect the home and report all facts that he or
she feels might affect your decision to buy this property. f you want
information that is not covered in the Real Estate Disclosure Statement or
additional information that is disclosed, put your questions in writing and ask
the seller to respond in writing.

You should review the Disclosure Statement immediately and carefully. n

most instances, you will have a limited period of time to decide whether you
wish to proceed with the purchase despite the stated disclosures. Depending
upon your purchase agreement, some sellers will require a written
acceptance of the conditions contained in the statement. Other sellers will
consider your silence as acceptance of all of the conditions contained in the
Disclosure Statement.
f you buy a condominium, the seller must give you copies of the
homeowners association's rules and bylaws, and financial statements, and
must inform you if there are any unpaid assessments. You should also ask to
see the past minutes of the association board meetings. You might find that
there are pending or future lawsuits or defects in the construction of the
complex being discussed in these meetings. All of which would affect the
value of what you are buying.

Before buying any property, it is advisable to have it inspected by trained

specialists. The kinds of inspections you need depend on the location and
condition of the property. For example, in a hillside area, you might want a
soil stability inspection. f you are buying a home built before 1978, you
should seriously consider an inspection for lead-based paint. At a minimum,
you should have the home inspected to determine if it is structurally sound, a
pest control inspection to see if the house has been infected by termites or
dry rot, and a natural hazards inspection to see if the home is located in an
area subject to fire, earthquakes or flooding. The real estate agent can advise
you about additional inspections that might be warranted under the
circumstances.

Keep in mind that while the seller has to tell you about anything he is aware
of that is wrong with the house, he is not insuring the quality of the house;
for this reason, and an inspection is a good idea.

Most homes are sold through real estate agents who have expertise in
valuing homes. You can also get information on home sales in your area by
visiting a host of nternet sites provided by professionals in the industry, or
by reading the real estate section of your local newspaper. Once you have
found the home of your choice and have determined how much you are
willing to pay, you need to make a deposit (called earnest money) to show
the seller that you are serious about buying the house. The deposit is
considered a down payment on the price of the home. n some instances you
may have to increase your deposit or increase your offer, especially if there
are multiple offers on the home.

The deposit is usually deposited in escrow upon the acceptance of your offer.
You submit a written offer on a form known as the Residential Purchase
Agreement and Receipt for Deposit. This form sets out the terms upon which
you are willing to purchase the property. The price you offer on a home will,
in most cases, be less than the amount you will need to purchase the home.
There will be expenses incurred in purchasing the home that will have to be
paid by either the buyer or the seller. These include, for example, title
reports, document preparation, recording fees, local taxes, fees for
inspections, escrow fees, homeowner's insurance, and notary fees. Ask your
agent or escrow officer to provide you with an estimated closing statement.
This will give you an idea of some of the additional costs you will incur in
purchasing your home. You do not want any surprises.

This agreement is an offer which, upon acceptance by the seller, results in a

binding contract. t should cover all of the important terms of the sale. For
example, it should include a complete description of the property and of any
personal property that will be sold with the house, such as window
coverings, kitchen appliances, washers and dryers. t should state the exact
purchase price, including the amount of your initial deposit, any increases in
that deposit, the amount you will pay in cash, check or wire transfer, and the
amount you will need to finance to complete the purchase price. This
agreement should also list any conditions that may allow you to back out of
the contract. You will want a condition that allows you to cancel the contract
if you cannot obtain a loan on favorable terms or if the inspections reveal
substantial defects or problems with the home. You may also need a
condition that allows you to cancel the sale if you cannot sell your current
home. Please understand, however, the more conditions you have, the less
likely the seller is to accept your offer.

This agreement should also set forth what will happen to your deposit if you
cancel the sale, what will happen if you and the seller have a disagreement
over the terms of the sale, and how the brokers will be paid. The agreement
should also indicate whether you are purchasing the property in "as is
condition" or the seller is warranting the condition of the property. Take the
time to go over each and every term of the agreement with your agent before
you sign the agreement.

You should not make an offer to purchase a house unless you are serious
about buying it. You can, however, revoke your offer before it is accepted by
the seller. This revocation should be in writing. f your offer has already
been accepted by the seller, you may be able to terminate or revise your offer
if you are unhappy with what your inspections reveal or if other conditions
of the offer are not met.

The Residential Purchase Agreement and Receipt for Deposit contains

several provisions that discuss what will happen in the event the sale does
not go through. There is a mediation provision, an arbitration provision and
a !C !""

result in you losing most if not all of your deposit (up to 3 percent of the
contract price) in the event you elect not to complete the purchase price, and
your election is without good cause. There is no provision in the standard
contract for liquidated damages in favor of the buyer in the event the seller
wrongfully refuses to go through with the sale. You do not have to agree to
this provision. Carefully discuss the pros and cons of initialing this provision
with your agent or attorney.

Most home loans are made by financial institutions such as banks, savings
and loan associations, and credit unions. Other sources of loans are insurance
companies, mortgage bankers, finance lenders, mortgage loan brokers,
pension funds and investment trusts. Lenders charge different fees and offer
different interest rates so it pays to shop around. Your agent will be able to
recommend lenders in your area.

When you apply for a home loan, the lender will check your credit rating and
review your past employment, income history, and credit and debt
obligations. t will also obtain information about the property that will be
security for the loan. This will include an 55!2 or estimate of the

by the title insurance company to determine what liens, easements and other
conditions will be superior to its loan, and a review of any taxes, assessments
and zoning regulations that affect the property. Some lenders will charge you
a loan application fee, document preparation fee, appraisal fee and other fees
to consider or close the sale. You should discuss these fees with your lender
before you submit your application.

This financing method is often used when a seller wants to receive
income over a period of time or when lenders are stringent in their loan

and agreement meet all legal requirements.

Occasionally, you can H22 &

been paying off. You should be careful in assuming any loan. Most loans

wish to assume a loan, you should have your agent or attorney review all of

Most home loans that are available to Californians offer one of two interest

 offers a set interest rate, so that your
monthly payment never changes. Some fixed rate loans are federally insured
or guaranteed, such as a Veteran's loan or an FHA loan. These loans usually
have a lower interest rate and require smaller down payments. For more
information on these loans, get in touch with a local office of the California
Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Veterans Administration or the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Another type of loan that is available is an "( 23

  An ARM is a mortgage loan which provides for
adjustment of its interest rate as market rate interest rates change. The
ARM's interest rate is tied to an index that reflects changes in the market
rates of interest. Some indexes used are the Cost-of-Funds ndex published
by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Reserve Discount Rate.
These loans usually have interest rates that are lower than the fixed rate loan
interest. ARMs can be complicated. Make sure that you understand all of the
terms of these loans before you agree to accept one.

Occasionally, new mortgage plans become available that are intended to

meet specific needs of a community. These include loans for first-time
homebuyers, and loans for teachers. Check with your local consumer affairs
office and housing departments for up-to-date information on these types of
loans.

For the protection of the seller and the buyer, a person or company that has
no connection with you or the seller holds the money and papers involved in
the purchase. This procedure is called escrow. The escrow holder's job is to
make sure that all of the terms and conditions of the agreement are met. He
or she will also coordinate all of the activities of the broker, the lender and
the title insurance company. The escrow holder will deliver the deed to the
county for recording when it can pay the seller the money. Escrow services
can be provided by title companies, banks, savings and loan associations,
independent escrow companies, realtors or lawyers.

The escrow holder does not act as a mediator, a lawyer or an advisor. The
escrow holder is required by law to remain neutral. ts only job is to carry
out the terms of the escrow instructions. n Southern California, escrow
instructions are signed when the escrow is opened. They are modified
throughout the course of the escrow as the agreement between the buyer and
seller change. n Northern California, escrow instructions are executed just
prior to the close of escrow. These instructions should be clear and certain as
to the intentions of the parties and the duties of the escrow holder. Make sure
your Purchase Agreement does not conflict with your escrow instructions. f
they do conflict, the escrow instructions may be considered your final
agreement as to the terms of the purchase. f you are uncertain as to what the
instructions say, discuss them with your agent, your lawyer, and the escrow
holder.

After the close of escrow, the escrow holder will provide you with
a &
& This document will show you, as the buyer, all of
the costs incurred by you in purchasing the property. You should review this
document carefully and save this statement for later. Many of these costs
may be deductible from either your state or federal taxes. f you have any
questions or concerns about the charges you incurred, contact the escrow
holder immediately and ask for an explanation.

Prior to the close of escrow, the escrow holder will ask you how you wish to
hold title to your new home. How someone holds title will affect what will
happen to the property in the event of the death of one of the owners. t also
will affect whether certain taxes will be incurred or whether a probate of the
estate will be necessary. You should discuss your options with a tax
specialist and your agent before you make your selection.

You can hold title to the home by yourself, as separate property, with your
spouse, as community property, or with your spouse or a third party, as joint
tenants or tenants in common. You can also hold title to the property in a
family trust. For more information on the different forms of ownership, see

Title insurance is necessary for your protection when you buy a home. t is,
however, not a guarantee that problems will not arise after the close of
escrow. When you make an offer to buy a home, you, as the buyer, have the
right to choose the title company. This decision should be based on the local
office's expertise, and the company's record for fairly handling claims under
its policies. You should discuss these issues with your agent.

Once you have chosen a company, you should make one of the conditions of
the close of escrow A
!
to the property. "Clear title" means that when
the sale to you is completed, the title to the property will be free from liens,
judgments and other claims that you have not agreed to accept. You should
also discuss with your agent the need for a survey of the property and title
insurance coverage for boundary line disputes. n many instances, especially
in rural areas, boundary lines are not where they should be. A survey and
survey coverage can help eliminate future disputes with your new neighbors.

Before a title company issues an insurance policy, it will make an

investigation to find out if anyone besides the seller claims to own the
property. t will also search the public records for claims against the
property. The title company will provide you with a report, called
p!&!)
5. You should carefully review this report to determine if
it describes all of the property you are interested in buying. You should also
review this report and determine what items you are willing to accept when
you purchase the property and what items you wish removed or taken care of
as a condition of the close of escrow. f you are uncertain as to what the
report says, you should discuss the matter with your agent, the escrow holder
and/or your attorney.

There are different kinds of title insurance available. Often the difference in
cost for the better policies is nominal. "Basic" or "Standard" coverage is, in
most instances, not the best policy available. For an additional one-time cost
or no charge at all, you can obtain protection for losses resulting from illegal
construction, zoning violations, unrecorded liens, prescriptive easement
claims, and post policy forgeries. Be aware that different companies charge
different rates. Discuss with your agent and the escrow holder what policies
are available in your area and the differences in prices on each of the
policies.

* !2I

Whether you are purchasing a home for the first time or for the fourth time,
the day of closing should be a cause for celebration. And since a portion of
your purchase price is paying for the agents and the escrow holder's
expertise, utilize their services throughout the process leading up to the day
of closing. Ask questions; ask for an explanation of any item you do not
understand. Request copies of any documents you do not understand; keep
copies of all documents relating to the purchase of your home. And, if
necessary, seek advice from a qualified real estate attorney or tax advisor.
Asking questions during the purchase of your home will help insure that you
and your family will enjoy your new home for many years to come.

With the help of above pie chat and table it is clear that majority (42%) of people
are dissatisfied and very less proportion (1%) of people are highly-satisfied with
the marketing information provided by the real estate companies . Many people
who are satisfied with the marketing information provided by developer ,they were
saying that Real estate companies does not want to share each marketing detail but
also some real estate companies does not want to hide any marketing detail if
customers asking about them. 21.3% people are neutral, 31 % people are satisfied
and 4.3 % people are strongly dissatisfied from the marketing details provided by
the real estate companies. The reason of this strange result in simple languages is
as follows-

|? Builders do not give complete marketing information in their broacher.

|? Marketing information provided by real estate developers is condition based.
|? n the marketing information broacher, developers do not share the negative
side of project.
|? The paper work is a bit different from that of the actual work.

We can make most of the customers satisfied by ±

1.? Creating awareness about all the marketing details.
2.? By asking the developers to provide each (negative and positive) marketing
detail without any terms and conditions in their broacher.
3.? By making the people aware of all the legal and technical documents which
are needed while going to buy a house.

The above Table and chart shows that most of the people prefer Print media (41.3
%) and personal reference (28.7 %) for searching house or property. And other
sources like nternet, Broker, TV & Radio, Outdoor advertisement are having 5.3
%, 15.3%, 7%, and 2.3% respectively.

Many people say that search of property through internet is very comfortable.
Because in a single click they can reach to a number of builders and their projects.
They were saying that mostly internet property web portal shows only marketing
detail of projects but if they will show legal and technical document of project so
searching property through internet become more beneficial.

Some people say that print media is better way of searching property because it is
easily available at every where any time and also gives information about current
status of project with marketing details.
Many people were saying that buying or searching house or property through
broker is not safe because of their dual nature .Generally they are making hype of
the developers¶ project and hide negative side of the project.

Peoples are now very conscious about property document. They were saying that
while buying or searching property they check property document, but since most
of them do not know the all property document required to check that¶s why there
is need to create awareness about property document and builders should show the
entire property document to customers themselves.

While survey generally people gave name of fallowing property document ±

|? Link chain ownership document.

|? Registry

Now a day¶s people who go for buying a house have become more aware about
what they should look for and the information they should seek, and are more
concerned about the selection of the right type of house for them. But majority of
the people are still unaware of the documents which they should look for before
going to buying a house. Here  have collected the perception and analyzed the
expectations of the general public as a whole. The conclusion thus is that people
need to be more aware of all the documents, the total legalities, and collect as
much as information from the builders, and then only they can do their investment
with a free mind.

Thus because of the above reasons there is a need to create awareness among the
customers as well as project developers to give the customers the complete
information and the role of µTRUSTED PROPERTY¶ to educate people is
appreciated in this regard.

>

On the basis of my findings,  want to make certain recommendations as follows ±

" 




 #$%
&'
&(

|? First and foremost, the database generated through the project should be put
to effective use through continuous follow-ups to the potential customers. A
follow-up should be made on the industry potential as a whole as well.
|? Company should provide information according to people¶s need and
necessity. And for that they can open daily polling on their web portal.
|? Company should not always try to attract the new customers only, but
should also take feedbacks from existing once, and try to remove their
problems and learn from their experience.
|? Company should make more contact with contractors and Architects to tap
more builders.

" 




 
(

|? Customers should check all the legal and technical documents and not only
the marketing details of the builders/project, before buying or searching
house.
|? Customers should go through all the terms and conditions of the project
developed.
|? Customer should be aware of the government¶s policy related to µReal
Estate¶.

" 




$)
*%+,( 

|? Builders should show their legal and technical documents to the customers,
to make them satisfied because most of the customers want to check it and
this also helps in creating a unique identity of the developers.



 ë#

|? Un-availability of the desired personnel was the biggest constraint to this

study. Although appointments were made and followed up where possible
but still there were instances where the desired people were either
unavailable or unwilling to meet.

|? No prior information regarding the addresses or other details of the offices to
be visited was provided, thus a few target persons were left uncovered.

|? This project is completed in six weeks, so due to time constraints it was not
possible to cover all the area of Delhi and NCR region and mainly Delhi
area was covered followed by Noida , Ghaziabad and Gurgaon.

|? Some dealers were hesitating to give supportive data. Some of them ignored
the questions which were supposed to be filled by them. Thus affecting the
scientific accuracy.
|? Since the data is not evenly collected from the NCR region hence there is a
chance of biasness.
