For those complaining about the increase in property prices in Tiruvannamalai, I thought it might be interesting to check out the property value revision of various areas in Chennai – which makes the prices at Tiruvannamalai seem comparatively modest!
An extract from the property pages of a Tamil Nadu paper reads:
“The real estate scenario is set to witness a sea change across the State with a property guideline value revision set to take effect from April.
The proposed guideline revision, after the previous revision in 2007, envisages a steep increase in land costs in South Chennai with a seven-fold increase in several upmarket areas, while North Chennai areas will witness only a moderate two to threefold increase in their guideline values.
For instance, a square foot of land costs Rs.2,365/- in Abhiramapuram 1st Street, a South Chennai locality, which, as per draft guideline value, has shot up to Rs.15,000/-, which is nearly seven times its present value.
After the release of the draft guideline values, there was a mad rush in registration offices, with property buyers mulling to register their properties as early as possible anticipating a drastic increase in documentation charges. On the other hand, property developers have been luring the buyers offering attractive terms resulting in State Government’s kitty swelling by several hundred crore rupees”.
