Pros and cons of flats and plots in Hyderabad

To understand the pros and cons of flats and plots in Hyderabad, it is necessary to analyze the options based on certain parameters.

Flexibility: Plots give a lot of flexibility when compared to flats.

Plots allow persons to build their dream house as per their preferences and taste. In the case of flats, there is no complete freedom in deciding the structure of the house.

Appreciation rate: The returns are higher in the case of open plots. Due to the fact that there is limited supply of land, plots appreciate faster than apartments.

Apart from it, as flats are prone to deteriorate over time, their values are also likely to decrease.

Financial assistance: As Loan-to-Value (LTV) for plots is less when compared to flats in Hyderabad, arranging funds for open plots is little difficult.

On the hand, financial assistance are easily available for purchasing flats.

Income: If someone is looking for rental income, then flats will be a better option as in the case of plots, income will not be generated immediately.
