Hyderabad has long been a magnet for property investment, thanks to its stable infrastructure development, growth of the IT industry, and comparatively lower cost of property. But with recent threats of regulatory changes, infrastructure delays, and title disputes regarding land, most prospective investors are asking themselves: Is it all right to invest in property in Hyderabad now? says Hydraa, a real estate consultancy firm, it is a cautiously optimistic yes-with some significant precautions.
Hydra notes that residential and commercial property demand in Hyderabad remains strong, especially in areas like Gachibowli, Kondapur, and Miyapur. The city is still attracting IT professionals, investors, and NRIs. But purchasers must be cautious in the face of legal and regulatory complexities, including recent government moves against unauthorized layouts and encroachments.
Clear Title and RERA Registration Are Musts
One of the key tips of Hydra is to ensure the property is freehold with a clear title and RERA registration. This can reduce the risk of legal disputes and project delays. The projects approved under RERA are transparent with the right timelines, pricing, and legal commitments—providing buyers with more security.
Avoid Undervalued Deals
Hydra cautions consumers to be wary of price offers that are way below the normal, especially in border areas. These are normally land with questionable legal status or subject to lawsuits. It is worth verifying the land records and approvals by local authorities before one goes ahead to purchase, especially in underdeveloped regions.
Promises and Reality
Although Hyderabad has ambitious infrastructures like the Regional Ring Road and Metro Rail expansions, Hydraa recommends that potential buyers should look at existing developments rather than expecting them to get completed. Some infrastructural developments were delayed, thereby affecting the expected appreciation of nearby properties.
Buyer Recommendations
Hydra recommends buyers to employ reputable builders, seek legal counsel before buying, and employ bank drafts rather than cash. In addition, resale apartments with full occupation often offer safer investments than new developments that are still being built.
