Picture this. It has been raining relentlessly for two days. The weather forecasters look genuinely worried, and your WhatsApp groups are flooded with videos of submerged roads. You wake up on the third morning, the sky has finally cleared, and you grab your car keys to head to the office. You take the elevator down to the basement, the doors slide open, and your heart completely stops. The basement isn't...

I was sitting in our office last Tuesday. Flipping through the morning papers, I sipped my filter coffee. Suddenly, my phone started blowing up. Clients sent screenshots of this exact headline. "Should we wait?" they asked. "Is the market crashing?" "Are we making a mistake?" Honestly, I completely get it. When you read words like "global economic uncertainty," your stomach does a little flip. After...

There is a quiet revolution happening in wealth building. Traditionally, the ultimate dream was buying a house, renting it out, and forgetting it. You just held on for decades until the mortgage cleared. It was a simple vision of financial freedom. However, that dream is cracking. The title of our discussion—“Why cyclical real estate investing is replacing passive holding among investors”—isn’t...

I saw this headline—"Bengaluru housing: Are landlords allowed to raise rent by 15%? Key rules every tenant should be aware of."—and honestly, I just let out a heavy sigh. Because if you are clicking on an article with that title, I know exactly what kind of morning you’ve had. You were probably sitting at your desk, trying to work, maybe sipping that terrible office coffee, when your phone...

I was sitting in my office last evening, scrolling through the day’s real estate news, when a headline practically jumped off my screen and slapped me in the face. "Up to 5% of the project cost has been imposed as a penalty by KRERA on a Bengaluru developer for ignoring a prior refund instruction." I immediately leaned forward and read it twice. If you are even remotely thinking about buying a home...

If you spend any time scrolling through Bengaluru’s Reddit, X (yeah, Twitter’s new name), or local Facebook groups, there’s no escaping the daily whirlwind: tenants versus landlords, arguing over security deposits. Not long ago, a single headline blew up across feeds: “Bengaluru renter’s claim of losing full deposit to repair and painting charges fuels discussion online.” One post, and...

When you buy a home, you’re really signing up for more than just walls and a roof. You’re buying into a neighborhood, a lifestyle, and the kind of community you want to come home to. There’s been a pretty shocking story circulating around Karnataka lately—a residential society decided that people living in 1BHK apartments couldn’t use the pool, clubhouse, or gym. Why? The management says 1BHK...

Bengaluru’s real estate market is buzzing—it draws in thousands of buyers every year. Are you a first-timer hunting for something affordable, or an investor eyeing a premium project? Either way, buying a home here is tricky. The legal stuff gets confusing fast, especially when people ask us at Globes Properties: “Can I get compensation from a developer if they delay handing over a resale...

Thinking about selling your house? Then you’ve probably started worrying about capital gains tax. It’s hard not to—selling property is one of the biggest financial moves most people ever make. Whether you’re moving into a bigger place, downsizing, or just cashing out an investment, you’re facing a big payout. But right there with the thrill of that windfall is the looming shadow of capital gains...

If you’ve been in Bengaluru for even a few months, you’ve probably felt the city’s strange tango with real estate. Just recently, a headline caught everyone off guard: "Tiny homes, huge rents: Bengaluru tenants struggle with ₹80K for 200 sq ft 2BHK flats." Let’s be honest—at first, that sounds like someone made a typo. How does a so-called 2BHK fit in 200 square feet, and who’s actually...
