Puravankara offers managed residences plan for customers

Online marketplace Snapdeal and Puravankara, one of the country’s top five listed real estate developers, in association with leading international property consultancy JLL India on Thursday announced the launch of a managed residences plan for their customers.

According to a press release, the managed residences plan functions as a dedicated long-term asset management programme for leased residential real estate, supporting customers with different risk capacities to drive better value from their investment.

The release said the three-way partnership between Snapdeal, Puravankara projects ltd and JLL India will enable customers to purchase a ready-to-occupy apartment from Puravankara across Bengaluru, Chennai, Coimbatore and Kochi and lease it back to  Puravankara for a contracted term of seven years.

As a part of the contract, Puravankara will secure pre-agreed monthly rentals to the customer and pay the common area maintenance amount to the building association. This ensures that the purchaser enjoys a hassle-free, uninterrupted rental returns for seven years, along with an additional rental appreciation benefit of 8 per cent every year.

Purchasers, however, have an option for premature withdrawal from the lease agreement in case they choose to occupy the apartment or manage the rental process themselves. Puravankara has appointed JLL as the lease manager to assist it in further sub-leasing the residential apartments to tenants and provide leasing related services.
