Comparison of flats and plots in Hyderabad
Though arranging funds for open plots in Hyderabad is a little difficult as Loan-to-Value (LTV) for plots is less when compared to flats, plots give freedom of building dream houses as per persons’ preferences.
Moreover, the returns are higher in the case of open plots. As per experts, plots appreciate faster than apartments due to limited supply.
With age, the value of a flat may decrease, the same is not true in the case of a plot. The value of plots appreciates and the rate of appreciation depends on various factors including location and proximity to big infrastructure projects.
