Q: I am looking for my family's financial security, long-term growth and a comfortable lifestyle in an upcoming residential locality. Of late, I have come across many reviews about Thane. Please share your views.
Atul: Thane has an abundance of greenery and clean air. It also shares a deep-rooted connect with various art festivals. With 33 lakes, 9 malls, 5 hospitals and more than 50 gardens, the place has been attracting buyers who seek an enriching lifestyle. Statistical data proves that certain areas in Thane have recorded more than 400% hike in the last eight years.
Thane is an integral part of MMR - Mumbai Metropolitan Region, and Maharashtra Government's blueprint for further developing the MMR includes a slew of major infrastructure development plans.

Q: Could you throw light on the locality factor?
Atul: Select a location that is easily accessible and has moderate to high potential for growth in the future. Ensure the place has superb infrastructure like connecting highways, broad roads and well-planned commercial and residential complexes. Look for convenient shopping, good healthcare facilities, educational institutes and cultural auditoriums. For a budget of roughly a crore, I would say Ghodbunder Road is a wise choice.

Q. Is Ghodbunder Road really a good option? What about its Past, Present and Future situation?
Atul: Ghodbunder Road has undergone a major revamp in the past five years. From a secluded stretch comprising of forestland, this 20-km road has gone on to become a crucial link between Mumbai's Eastern and Western Express highways. At present, Ghodbunder Road or GB Road as it is called, is a hub for residential and commercial property development. From the budget-conscious to the high-end property buyers, GB road is the go-to destination for a lucrative real estate investment.
Consecutive flyovers and major infrastructural developments ensure seamless connectivity. An upcoming metro railway line will further enhance this connectivity. This metro line is predicted to cut the current travel time into half and play a crucial role in the area's property appreciation in the coming years.

Q: Should I opt for an under-construction property or go for a ready-to-move-in flat?
Atul: Both have their pros and cons. Booking an under construction property gives you the advantage of entering at a lower price point. The payment cycle is spread over years and you get more flats to choose from. Ensure to opt for a reputed builder, as they are clear with their dealings and give the possession as promised.
In case of ready-to-move-in properties, you can save money paid as rent by moving in your new home immediately. While visiting a ready property, you can have a better idea of your immediate neighbors and the vicinity.
Q: Can you guide me in selecting the best residential project?
Atul: Shortlist projects promoted by renowned developers with a good track record regarding construction quality and timely completion. Select projects only if the building layout offers ample ventilation and if the project plan includes essential and practical amenities. Other factors to watch out for include parking for guests, community hall, kids' play area and vehicle-free recreation levels. Look for accessibility of markets, schools, colleges and places of worship nearby to have a smooth transition. Ensure that your family's needs can be fulfilled before immediately moving into a new area.
For example, one of my clients booked a 2 BHK home in Thane's Orovia on the auspicious occasion of Gudi Padwa. The project has been launched by Vijay Group and Suraksha Realty - a leading Thane-based real estate joint venture. As a father of two toddlers, my client had been searching for a place that had exclusive facilities designed for children. We recommended Orovia as our research team was impressed with the project's kid-specific amenities and artful essence. The key is to assess your current and future needs before selecting any project.
