Coimbatore builders participate in Property show at Muscat

Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC), India’s premier housing finance company is for the first time organising ‘India Homes Fair’, a two-day property show in Muscat on September 26 and 27.

This unique property fair will exclusively showcase the finest properties promoted by leading developers from Chennai and Coimbatore. The exhibition will be held at the Nizwa Ballroom, Sheraton Oman Hotel, Ruwi and will be open to visitors from 10am to 2pm and 4pm to 9pm.

Commenting on the exhibition Renu Sud Karnad, executive director, HDFC said: “HDFC is organising this event given the buoyant Indian real estate market and the inherent need for a large number of NRI’s based in the Middle East to invest in a property back home.

Through this event we are bringing the NRI home-seekers and leading developers from Chennai and Coimbatore together in Muscat under one roof. We hope to provide a platform where both of them can interact freely so that the developers are exposed to the NRIs, their needs and preferences. Similarly the NRIs can freely discuss their dreams, plans and concerns with the developers while having a look at the properties.”

Almost all the leading developers of Chennai and Coimbatore are participating in this unique exhibition. There are 14 developers showcasing over 50 projects and visitors can choose from properties having a value range of between Rs2.5 million to Rs10 million, varying from an area of 850 sqft up to 2,000 sqft, which will cater to customers looking for modest to deluxe homes. Over 2,000 units of 1/2/3 bedroom apartments, row houses and plots, will be on display and these are well-built, spacious and provide all the amenities, making it perfect for the whole family.

Visitors at the exhibition can also look forward to easy home loans at comfortable terms from HDFC. Besides providing the home-seekers an opportunity to select from the widest range of properties, the exhibition will also offer free home loan counselling, legal and technical advice on all property related issues and more.

The participating developers from Chennai include, Chettinad Housing, Doshi Housing Ltd, Deluxe Apartments & Buildings Co. (DABC), KGEYES Residency Pvt Ltd, Lancor G-Corp Properties Ltd, Navin Builders, Pace Builders (Madras) Pvt Ltd, Real Value Promoters Pvt Ltd, True Value Homes (India) Pvt Ltd and Vishranthi Sabari. The Coimbatore developers include Mayflower Enterprises Pvt Ltd, Ramani Realtors Pvt Ltd, Sreevastsa Real Estates Pvt Ltd and Covai Property Centre (India) Pvt Ltd.

HDFC has had a presence in the Middle East for over ten years with eight offices located at all major business hubs in the Middle East. It also has a wide network of over 219 outlets (inclusive of outlets of wholly owned distribution company) and 90 outreach locations, reaching out to over 2,400 towns and cities all over India.

HDFC believes in assisting its customers and the office in Muscat was specifically set up to service the NRIs and help them to buy their dream homes back in India.

The Sultanate of Oman has a population of 2.3 million people out of which the NRI population is about 0.31 million.

The ‘India Homes Fair’ is exclusively showcasing properties from Chennai and Coimbatore as there is a significant demand among the NRI’s in the Middle East to invest in these two cities.

HDFC’s direct dealings with customers have helped it keep in touch with the changing trends and customer expectations. HDFC’s 29 years of experience in the real estate industry and business relations with the developers has given it a thorough understanding of the market.

It has developed strong in-house systems to assist customers in terms of determining real estate prices, title issues, legal and technical aspects, etc.
