Investors Clinic witnesses 20% 
demand rise 
for Indian properties

DUBAI — Investors Clinic Infratech, a leading real estate marketing and brokerage firm operating under the brand name of “Investors Clinic”, has successfully marked its footprint in the UAE within just six months of starting Dubai operations.

In a short span, the company has successfully served over 1,000 NRI families and have witnessed a strong 20 per cent increase in demand from Indian expats in the second quarter of 2012. The UAE-based NRIs are generally looking for investment property back home (rather than end use) within a price range of Rs7.5 million to Rs15 million with an assured return.

In the GCC alone, an estimated 5.5 million to six million NRIs are working today including semi-skilled and unskilled labourers. According to banks in the Gulf, the average home loan size is Rs3-7 million and the predominant demand revolves around apartments. The overall home loan business in Dubai alone ranges from Rs7.2-8 billion, according to an Economic Times report.

Honey Katiyal, CEO, Investors Clinic, said: “Rupee falling might be a bad news for India but real estate tends to gain from the development. It is the time when Non Resident Indians will benefit the most in Indian real estate market. The real estate market especially in Delhi NCR is vibrant with offerings for every segment. The NCR is the largest residential market in the country by sheer volume of residential units launched. Currently, it has more units than the combined tally of the other five metropolitan cities of Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Hyderabad.”
