Dear Mr. Shah, In our opinion, the tourism business will take an appreciable curve in the areas extending upwards of the Mughal Gardens. The upper reaches of Syedpora, Thied, Dara have an excellent view to offer and are relatively sparsely populated at this stage. Considering the reputation of the area with regards to natural beauty, which in fact all of the tourists come to Kashmir, the area promises a lot. Besides the land cost is relatively lower.Any where around 25 to 30 lacs will get you a good picturesque 1 Kanal land in Dara. Regarding residential apartments, the trend is yet to set in Kashmir. However, a location closer to the city and devoid of traffic congestion will eventually see a mushroom growth of apartment building. In our opinion, the areas, adjoining the bye pass, Pantha Chowk to Narbal, will be excellent for apartments.

Dear Imtiyaz, While buying land for residential properties the nature of the day to day activities and the make up of your family decides whether a 'closer to the road, farther from city' site or a 'closer to city, farther from road' suits you. For instance if you have kids who need to catch a bus at the main road every morning, you will rather settle at a distant location that a near one, considering that your kids will benefit from the proximity of the bus stop. Similarly if other members of your family needs to go out regularly and you do not have private transport available it makes no sense to buy property deep inside any colony. Regarding the budget, you should look anywhere from 35 to 50 lacs to buy one Kanal of land at any of these places. Construction of a two storey house will also cost you somewhere around the same amount. Together let us say 70 lacs in the pocket will get you a good two storey house. Plus, minus expected. To buy land you need some paperwork to be done which by no means is a rocket science to learn. Once you take a dive into the system, you will easily get a hang of the things that need to be done. If you need a detailed list of steps to be taken, we at KB shall be glad to revert.

Burhan, Since your budget is low, you will have to prioritize your needs. You can either go for a piece of land relatively close to the city but deep inside a colony, say a kilometer from the road, or, farther from the city but closer to the road. In the first case, you can go areas like Lalbazaar, Hyderpora etc. You will find a good plot half kanal plot there for 16 lakhs but it will be at least 1 km from main road. Or you can find land near Harwan, Gulab Bagh, Zakura, Rangreth. The distance from the road will not be that much in this case. Hope you find your dream plot.

Mudasir, I would advise you to configure an alert for the property type as house and deal type as Sale in Kashmir Bricks. Subsequently if a house is listed with KB for sale, you will receive an email. I have personally subscribed for alerts and they work quite well.

First and the foremost, how good a deal is depends on how much you are paying for it. The average rate of the land in question (around 1 km inside and more from byepass Sanat Nagar) is around 20 Lacs / Kanal. At this rate, your deal seems to be a good buy, assuming that your main aim is long term investment. However if you are planning to construct a house, you must take into account the cost of earth filling and the fact that you and your family may have to walk in a kilometer everyday!

Getting an Intikhaab is the first step if you want to sell your land. There are two types of Intikhaab. One, that the owner procures in his own name and other, which is procured in the name of the person who is going to buy your land. In case you want to get the first one (commonly called 'plain intikhaab', in Kashmiri jargon), you need to pay a fee of Rs. 50 at the Govt. treasury for the area in which your land is, under head 29. Anybody wishing to get an intikhaab for land at Dalgate, say needs to pay Rs. 50 at the Saddar Treasury (Residency Road). The treasury receipt is then to be taken to the local Pathwari who drafts and gives you the Intikhaab, according to the records available with him. For the other kind of Intikhaab (commonly called, Nakshai Intikhaab) a greater fee is charges (I guess 500 bucks) and also the State Subject of the buyer has to be produced.

Nazir, a very good question. In Kashmir, planning before you build a house is a rare goose. Very few people take professional advice before constructing, what usually happens to be the house they spend rest of their lives in. Others, simply go by the advice their mason, carpenter and blacksmith provides. It is not a bad idea to pay a few bucks to a professional architect to get a plan. In kashmir, for some reason, you will spend lacs on construction, dismantling and reconstruction till you get the design right, but shy away from paying an architect a few thousands at the start to get the design right straight away. A thought process I could never really understand.

I am afraid no (assuming you do not possess a J&K state subject certificate). Only folks who are state subjects of J&K (or have a certificate to show for it anyway) are allowed to buy land/house/property in J&K. This is in accordance with article 370 of the Indian constitution which has granted a special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. While many quarters view this as undesirable and have rallied against it, the article really has proved to be a boon for the native Kashmiri`s. With the kind of beauty that Kashmir boasts of, the kind of property prices (which weren`t huge, by any stretches of imagination, till recently), and the kind of bucks that the Industrialists of India have in their pockets, J&K would long have become another cement and brick city and lost it`s natural demeanor. Cutting the long story short, no you cannot buy land here.

Buying a home is a once in a lifetime deal and you want to spend your hard earned money wisely. Effectively there are a few 'rule of the thumb' points you must check before you decide that you want to buy a particular house. Availability of electricity leads that lot, especially in Kashmir where power is a choppy commodity. I personally know people who sold off their dream homes just because electricity was a no show more often than not. Connectivity also assumes telling proportions. Personally I feel it is better to be farther from the city but near to the main road, with bus service, rather than be closer to the city and farther from the road. An example of this would be Lal Bazaar and the insides. Sometimes you roam for hours and yet reach nowhere. Zakura, a house by the road, for me, is a much better option that the intestinal Lal Bazaar. Future development plans is yet another important factor. While it is difficult to get your hands on this info, it will prove to be precious knowledge, if you do. Neighborhood quality is important. A mosque nearby could be an added advantage. Markets etc. For some tech savvy people, network coverage in the area could be a point to ponder on. However, this thing can change overnight, it does have some effect. For example, for a person living in Buchpora, using a Tata Photon, with a promised speed of 3MBPS is a joke. Over ther it seldom touches 256kbps. Apart from these fingertip rules, the kind of home you are looking for and your budget are the most important factors. Wish you great luck with your home search!

The buyer always pays the cost. Since the norm has been in vogue for quite a while, the owner would have paid the price when he bought the land. So he does not need to. In effect, you are paying the full transaction price for a buy sell deal at the time of buying only.

Brokers usually ask for 2 percent of the total deal value. This typically is paid by the seller only. However this is negotiable as experience will tell you and an amount in the vicinity of 25,000 rupees is usually paid. This again can change with bigger deal amounts.

38 lacs seems a good enough price. Auqaf land is no milkiat land and the ownership cannot be transferred fully. What you are doing is transferring the power of attorney. Since some hassles are involved and nobody is sure what will be the future of the Auqaf land, it`s cost is always affected.

In case of a dispute, the parties will obviously head for the court of law for justice. If the sale deed/agreement is registered with the court of law, i.e. it has been endorsed by the court, the court knows that the deal is right. In short the registration with the court adds weight to your sale deed.

Depends, which area of soura you are talking about and what kind of land. Government rates change with the kind of land as well. If it is dry land then the rate will be less, for agricultural land the govt. rates are usually more.

Whenever someone buys property, he/she typically wishes to get the deal registered in the court of law, to substantiate his claim over the land he/she has bought. The court levies a charge on this endorsement, around 7%. To avoid paying huge amounts for court registration, people used to quote lesser, much lesser prices for their land deals in the papers. However, the government woke up to the situation, did a survey and fixed land prices. This means that your registration fee will now be calculated on the area price of your property rather than the amount you are showing in your papers. This fixation of prices in various areas has been named zoning.

Pathwari is the guy who has access to all land records in his jurisdiction. All land plots have a unique identification code divided into two parts; the Khasra number and the Khewat number (homework for you, find UID of your home land, assuming you are from Kashmir). Every UID (khasra + Khewat number) has a current owner, which for your land, should be you. This information is updated in land and revenue records everytime there is a deal. Pathwari is someone who facilitates this updation and subsequent or prior retreival of such information. Hope I am clear.

An Intikhaab is a document that substantiates your claim over a peice of land. If you possess one, it invariably means that the piece of land in question is registered in your name in the land revenue records. An intikhaab is an instrument that buyers seek, first thing, before making a deal.
