Bank financing of ongoing construction projects allowed

Bank financing of ongoing construction projects allowed

Bank financing of ongoing construction projects allowed. SBP has permitted buyers to obtain bank financing for under-construction housing units to stimulate growth in the construction and housing sectors following government strategy.

“To assist purchasers of under-construction housing units in securing housing finance, the central bank released guidelines allowing banks and DFIs to grant loans for under-construction projects,” the SBP stated on Thursday.

According to the SBP, banks are currently hesitant to provide such bank financing, limiting home buyers’ options for funding of completed units. “The SBP’s new guidelines provide a comprehensive framework with appropriate risk mitigation measures for the banking industry to support this area of housing finance,” the statement continued.

Essentially, bank financing risk will be mitigated by mortgages secured against project land under special agreements with builders. “Payments to builders will be made via a specifically formed account (referred to as an escrow account) with no direct access to the seller until the completion of building milestones agreed upon between financing banks and builders,” the SBP stated.

The SBP stated that purchasers of housing units who finance their purchase would be able to take advantage of several perks, including access to housing units in under-construction projects at a lower cost than entirely constructed ones. While housing units are new, the banks’ rigorous monitoring and management will ensure that they are completed on time and that purchasers receive possession. For the first few years, purchasers may incur reduced maintenance and renovation costs.

“These benefits are projected to incentivize the purchase of pre-construction housing, resulting in increased demand for the construction industry,” the SBP stated.

In comparison to completed projects, banks are hesitant to lend money to acquire housing units in under-construction developments. Therefore, the typical market practice is for builders to allow purchasers of housing units to make periodic payments against allotment letters once the building begins, which is a handy way to facilitate homeownership.

Banks, on the other side, do not lend based on allotment letters. As a result, buyers cannot obtain mortgage financing from banks, preventing them from purchasing affordable housing units during the under-construction phase of developments.

Additionally, builders claim that the inability of banks to finance home projects currently under construction diminishes demand and slows the creation of new projects. The SBP stated that it would address such issues with increased funds following the publication of these recommendations.

THE STATEMENT NOTED THAT the SBP guidelines represent a significant step forward and are consistent with the State Bank’s continuous efforts to stimulate economic development through the encouragement of activities in the housing and construction sectors. Bank financing of ongoing construction projects allowed by SBP.

“It is anticipated that banks’ housing finance would expand significantly in the coming years. Apart from enabling borrowers to access housing loans under the ‘Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar’ scheme for under-construction projects, this will also assist builders in increasing the stock of new apartments or flats across the country,” the SBP stated.

Top 10 Most Popular Types of Houses in 2021

Top 10 Most Popular Types of Houses in 2021

Most Popular Types of Houses

Do you already know what kind of home you want if you’re in the market to buy one? The country’s rich multicultural background has impacted design and architecture in the Pakistan. As a result, house hunters have a wide choice of possibilities to choose from. With so many types of houses styles to choose from, it might not be easy to narrow down your choices. We’ll demonstrate to you the top 10 most popular types of houses in 2021.

1- Single Family Detached

As the name implies, a detached single-family home has no shared walls or land with other houses. Instead, these types of houses are typically intended to accommodate one family comfortably and have a lawn, garage, driveway, and garden. According to Builder, this is the style of home that is most popular among 80 percent of people. A common justification is a desire for privacy from one’s neighbours.

2-Apartment

Apartment complexes are made up of several comparable apartments that are all housed in the same building. Each renter pays rent, which usually includes payments for extra services like laundry, housekeeping, and on-site amenities. Apartments are generally cheaper than houses, but residents share walls and have less seclusion. For example, Blue World City provides magnificent residences with all the features mentioned above, which is extremely popular.

3- Condominium

Condominiums, or condos for reference, are comparable in size and design to apartments. It is widely popular because condos, on the other hand, are purchased rather than rented. You wouldn’t buy the entire facility, but you will own your apartment. The building’s condo owners establish a Homeowners Association (HOA) and part-owner of the shared spaces. On issues like upkeep & maintenance, appointed individuals of the HOA decide things in the community’s interests. Condos are a terrific choice for folks who want to be homeowners but can’t afford a single-family home.

4- Town-House

A townhouse, like a flat or a condominium, is surrounded by other units. However, you’ll just have to share either one of two walls with your neighbors. Because the apartments in townhomes are multilayered, you won’t have any upstairs or downstairs neighbors. Instead of a communal door, townhomes have their very own access from the street. Townhomes are presented for rent or purchase which is why they made up to our list of the top 10 most popular types of houses in 2021.

5- Co-Op

A co-op is similar in appearance to apartments and condos, but it has its own economic and accounting structure. You are purchasing a portion of the firm that owns the property rather than a unit. In other words, instead of being a property owner, you become a corporate stakeholder. The amount of room you’re given is usually determined according to how many co-op shares you hold. This could be a matter of size or luxury. As a co-op member, you can participate in common area choices and the approval or refusal of new purchases.

6- Tiny Home

Tiny-home living became fashionable during the Recession. Americans used adversity as an opening to reconsider their allegiance to material possessions. Even in 2020, 56% of Americans said they would think about residing in a tiny house. So, what would it imply to live in a small space? Tiny homes range in size from 60 to 400 square feet, with some being transportable. Residents are compelled to keep the number and quantity of their own things to a minimum. They frequently have to get inventive when it relates to storage, although some would say that this is part of the pleasure. Tiny house inhabitants get more psychological and financial independence in compensation for their compromises.

7- Multifamily Home

Multifamily housing encompasses any property with two or more dwellings. Multifamily housing might be an apartment building, a condominium development, or a series of town houses. Multifamily complexes are popular among property investors because they provide several rental revenue sources. If you’re seeking to broaden your investment portfolio, consider engaging in the residential housing market in Capital Smart City.

8- Mobile Home

Before being transported to a lot, mobile homes are constructed in a factory. Even though these homes may be relocated if necessary, they are not designed to be towed frequently. The owner owns the house, but the ground or pad on which it sits is rented. Trailer homes range in price from affordable to wealthy, and they cost a quarter of the price of a traditional detached house. Mobile homes, contrary to widespread belief, is actually very popular and may provide comfortable living in desirable places.

9- Bungalow

Bungalows are modest, cheap residences that were designed with elegance and artistry in mind. They usually have one level, with a half-story inserted into the attic sometimes. Much like in Nova City, a front porch is nearly always a key component. Bungalows are rarely created these days since people prefer larger residences. They were a delightful survivor from the first part of the twentieth century when Americans looked for a practical, comfortable home at a reasonable price. They’re still preferred, particularly among first-time buyers looking for a starter house they can manage to refurbish.

10- Mansion

The ordinary dwelling is substantially smaller than a mansion. These are the types of houses usually created and maintained by privileged families and individuals, generally more prominent than 8,000 square feet. While there is no formal specification of how many rooms or sq ft a house must have to be considered a mansion, you will recognize one whenever you see one. They’re big, bold, extremely popular and create a big impression.

Summary

It’s critical to choose the correct home type and style. The types of houses you prefer your home not only represent your taste but also has to suit your functional requirements. Given the wide range of housing options accessible in Pakistan’s property market, this is no simple task. However, Estate Land Marketing has compiled a list of the top 10 most popular types of houses in 2021, which serves as a good reminder of the diversity of our cultural influences.

Foolproof real estate marketing plan

Experienced investors have one thing in common: they know how to market their properties. As the link between a company and its customers, marketing determines the speed and tenor of a company; it’s how individuals get to recognize, appreciate and trust a company. Investing in real estate, a foolproof real estate marketing plan is essential. In today’s challenging market, a real estate marketing plan is the best opportunity for growing and maintaining a successful firm.

What Exactly Is A Real Estate Marketing Strategy?

A real estate marketing plan is a formal document that outlines how investors can advertise themselves and their companies. It describes what they’ll do, how they’ll do it, and who’ll do it—and it’s the most critical reason companies succeed in this profession; it’s also the key source of real estate prospects.

Word-of-mouth promotion, often defined as real estate referrals, is the most common source of leads. The majority of today’s most influential real estate investors get their prospects from referrals, as many of them have a track record of accomplishment. For example, pleased clients account for around 75% of a real estate agent’s revenue.

The ambitious world of the real estate sector is well known. Unfortunately, it’s a highly saturated business, making it difficult for real estate companies to prosper. To do well in the competition, you’ll need a great marketing strategy. But what makes up an effective, well-thought-out real estate marketing strategy?

Knowing these qualities about your target demographic will, at the absolute least, significantly enhance your real estate marketing strategy.

2- Create a professional-looking website

Regardless of your sector, having a website and keeping a high activity level is now a must. However, there is a massive variance between a regular website and one that is professionally designed. When creating your website, put appearance and functionality first. Before publishing the website to the audience, be sure to cover the following elements and check off the preceding checklist items.

  • Your website is mobile-friendly.
  • The loading time is short.
  • The website is simple to use.
  • It has high-quality photographs and content.
  • You’ve put up a virtual tour.

You comprehend the importance of a website if you have a basic awareness of essential digital marketing ideas. Make sure your site is SEO-friendly to attract visitors and build relationships with potential clients.

3- Examine the Competition

A segment on what the competitor is doing should be included in every marketing plan blueprint. Start by looking at what the other businesses are performing in your area, more particularly. Is it true that their marketing initiatives are paying off? What is effective and what isn’t for your real estate rivals? You’ll not just have a clearer sense of where to begin, but you’ll also know which strategies to avoid if you look at what the competitors are doing. For example, if bandit signals don’t show any potential in a specific region, it could mean that buyers and sellers aren’t interested in that content. Knowing what your competitors are doing, at the very least, can help you sidestep the outmoded trial and error method.

4- Make use of social media

Because social media marketing is around to stay, you’ll need to come on board or risk missing out. Apart from increasing brand awareness, social media is an excellent tool for real estate brokers to communicate with and communicate with prospective customers. Therefore, develop a solid social media plan for your real estate agent to maximize social media channels. At the very least, this plan must include the following:

  • Objectives
  • The intended audience
  • The social media networks to which you’ll devote time and money
  • Content-type and frequency

Because staying on top of social media trends isn’t easy, employ social media surveillance tools to make it easier. In addition, your social media material should be interesting, inspiring, and educational, according to your digital marketing team. Otherwise, you will lose your fabric among the hundreds of other posts that are published every second.

5- Video marketing

Yes, photographs are appealing, but the power of video marketing is unrivalled. Videos are captivating and a sure way to gain the attention of your target audience. The most significant benefit of investing in video marketing is using the material on multiple channels. You can share videos via your homepage, social media accounts, and weblog. You can also distribute these property tours, advertising movies, and short video reviews to current and new clients by email.

6- Make a Budget Plan

Aside from your objectives, your budget has a significant impact on your property marketing strategy. This is the portion where you’ll need to coordinate your cost and positioning strategies, and investors shouldn’t expect that the lowest price prevails. Your price should correspond to your product portfolio and target market. When you discount quality, it loses credibility from the perspective of potential clients. Finally, like a real estate investor, you must know how to manage your money.

The marketing expense is crucial for any real estate marketing plan since it ensures you don’t overdo it. It is the spark for success or loss. Focus your efforts as a new investor on collecting your financial data, determining where to put marketing money, and making modifications. A good marketing strategy should incorporate a budget for spending as well as sales generated by various activities. One thing is definite: you must first create a budget before proceeding to the next phase.

7- Content marketing

High-quality, never-before-seen material wins hands down in today’s marketing industry. Visitors are drawn to your website by informative content. To succeed, though, you must maintain your material fresh, relevant, and motivating. Contrary to popular belief, poor material isn’t necessarily preferable to none at all. Your digital marketing plan will not be served by overloading your website with badly authored and unenlightening articles or blog entries. Remember that having no material is worse than having dull or uninteresting content. So, if you don’t have the time to devote to creating search engine optimized content, don’t bother.

8- Marketing via email

Email is a great marketing tool in addition to streamlining interaction. Classify ways to gather email addresses & market the real estate business to clients using well-known email marketing devices. Keep your material inspiring and include a clear call to action in such social media threads and blog posts to guarantee that the email marketing performs its purpose. Email marketing can be difficult at first, but it will generate revenue for your company if you get the swing of it.

Tarbela Dam reaches the maximum level of conservation

Tarbela Dam reaches the maximum level of conservation

Tarbela Dam reaches the maximum level of conservation. Tarbela Dam reached its maximum conservation level of 1,550 feet, but Mangla Dam is unlikely to arrive at capacity this year.

This means that the entire river flow of around 125,000 cubic seconds will be permitted to flow downstream as run of the river because Tarbela has reached its maximum live storage capacity of 5.882 million acre-feet (MAF).

It would mean that Sindh’s command region would have sufficient water storage for the forthcoming Rabi season in October but would fill Mangla dam to its maximum conservation level of 1,242 feet. On Wednesday, the water level at Mangla dam was 1,198 feet or 44 feet below its capacity. Therefore, it would imply that the Jhelum-Chenab stretch would be water scarcity during the Rabi season.

Mangla dam’s latest live storage capacity was 4.211MAF, more than 2MAF below its peak. On Wednesday, the country’s total live storage capacity, including the Chashma barrage, was 10.137MAF.

OICCI criticizes poor progress on IP regime development

OICCI criticizes poor progress on IP regime development

OICCI criticizes poor progress on IP regime development. Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) has complained that progress on building an effective regime for intellectual property rights (IPR) like trademarks, patents, and copyrights has been “well below the desired level”.

The group of over 200 foreign investors reminded Commerce Advisor Abdul Razak Dawood that “top government authorities” must “focus on this issue” if the country wants to attract foreign direct investment.

The letter OF OICCI criticized the government for its lack of responsiveness to OICCI members’ pooled feedback on proposed changes to IP legislation in 2019. Nothing on whether the IP laws have been approved,” it said.

The word “trade secret” is recognized as an intellectual right in the IPO Act 2012 preamble, but not in the actual statute, the letter noted. “Our view is that this issue restricts foreign investment… Due to the deficit of legal protection for trade secrets, international companies don’t shop in Pakistan or partner with Pakistani firms.

The Intellectual Property Organization of Pakistan (IPOP) has “digitalized” its database, but its technology is “prolonged” and exhibits several errors while looking for trademarks. The website goes down frequently, and searches yield no results. Online applications are “one month later, which defies the purpose of digital filing,” it says, noting no information on opposition hearings. “This is a huge setback that delays IP processes.”

OICCI members said IPOP should do its due diligence on new IP filings to see if they are materially similar to others. Currently, IPOP appears to be posting all applications. Companies must pay a lawyer each time a new application is filed to object to an IPR substantially identical to a previous IPR.

A Company, Direct Access function, should be added to the IPOP online system, OICCI advised.
