Redevelopment or repairs ........ confused ???



WHAT IS REDEVELOPMENT?

Redevelopment is the process of demolishing existing old society building and reconstructing it by appointing a good developer who can construct and handover new flats to the society members free of cost with some additional benefits and make profit by utilizing balance plot potential by constructing additional flats and shops as per approval from M.C.G.M.


ADVANTAGES OF GOING FOR REDEVELOPMENT OVER REPAIRS

Today the societies are opting to go for redevelopment than repair for the following reasons :

Repairs                                                  Redevelopment
1) The repair work can increase life     Redevelopment gives a new  building
of the building by 3 to 4 years and       for which no major repairs required for
the problems can reoccur after few      longer period.

2) The old buildings are designed         New building is constructed with new

3) For repairs members have to            In redevelopment, members get

4) In old building the steel inside           As the building is new this issue does

cannot be treated in repairs.

Thus in redevelopment, the members get new fresh building + additional area + monitory benefits without spending any money from their own pockets

leakages in building is a common problem and if not attended properly it starts eating the structure from within, hence i advice all those buildings which are built more than 30-40 years back, must contemplate the idea of Redevelopment only rather than wasting time and money on repairs... somethings are beyond repairs, be it stubborn woman or old dilapidated building ..

Redevelopment simplified....Bombay times dated 06/07/13 (page.no.11)

Redevelopment simplified
Question 
We are a housing society going for redevelopment, but we are confused about which individual carpet areas to be considered, given in the agreement or as per physical measurements of flats?
Utkarsh simplifies  
Freezing individual carpet area is the most important and first step towards Redevelopment, as all the calculations are based on the area consumed by society members viz a viz plot area. Also the existing member’s fungible F.S.I. calculation is based on existing carpet area.  The carpet areas have to be worked out from approved plan copy of BMC by a licensed Architect. In case, Approved BMC plan is not available then the area as per assessment records is considered and if both records are not available then only physical survey of typical flat  (unmodified- original ) should be carried out and that carpet area should be considered.

Question
What is fungible FSI?

Utkarsh simplifies  
Fungible F.S.I. is additional F.S.I. allotted over and above the proposed principle F.S.I. The fungible F.S.I. is maximum 35% over principle F.S.I. in case of residential units and 20% over principle F.S.I. in case of commercial units. The said fungible F.S.I. can be utilized as a balcony, dry balcony, flower bed or can be utilized as part of area inside flat or shop


Question
If any member is in possession of Terrace or Garage then How to compensate such Private terrace areas and Garages.

Utkarsh simplifies  
As per previous policy of development, the terraces and garages were not counted in F.S.I. The terraces are meant to be the common areas or non accessible areas and garages were meant only for parking. However in old days developers used to sale those areas to the members. In case of garages the same used to get converted into shops and offices and used for commercial purpose. Now as per new policy covered garages and terraces attached to the flats are counted in F.S.I. and hence if the members are to be given alternate terraces and garages the same are to be counted in F.S.I. which will be loss to the society. Against all odd once in possession of garages or terraces members are always reluctant to give away the benefit of the same.
    There is no rule as such to compensate garages or terraces, however as a market practice to compensate terrace area, 1/3rd of the terrace area is given against terrace and for garages, and alternate parking space in stilt area is given or monetary compensation is offered.
