Finding a Home In Bangalore
If you plan to rent or buy a property in Bangalore, finding your property will be a major step in your relocation to Bangalore. If you have not lived in Bangalore, you should rent rather than buy your property in Bangalore, at least for six months.

It is the best way to know not only if Bangalore is the place you want to live or retire for the next few years, but also if Bangalore is suited for you.

Apartments & Houses in Bangalore
If you are planning on living in Bangalore, it is likely that you will be living in an apartment/condo versus a house.

Please make sure that modern equipments, such as electricity and water should function to the maximum. Please double-check and make sure electrical outlets are located in every room and functioning.

Make sure you turn on the water and make sure that hot and cold water is functioning and flush the toilet, turn on the shower. Don’t count on real-estate agents in Bangalore to point out the negatives of a place they’re trying to rent or sell you.

Bangalore Agencies
Real-estate agencies in Bangalore advertise in local Bangalore newspapers and as well on their office windows.

You should be able to notice a real estate agency in Bangalore by the window full of ads for the different apartments or houses they have available for rent or sell in Bangalore.

After coming to an agreement on a rental or purchase, both parties in Bangalore sign the contract. However, it is not a legal agreement until the appropriate seals of the city of Bangalore with a tax stamp has been purchased and affixed to ther agreement. You have to make sure before finalising the lease or purchase that the official seal of Bangalore will be affixed to the agreement.

Renting
Real estate agencies in Bangalore are the safest way if you want to rent or buy a property in Bangalore. Please make sure they are a licensed agent in Bangalore and very familiar with the Bangalore property market.

Local newspapers in Bangalore also advertise apartments and houses for rent, but word of mouth is the best way in Bangalore. If you are currently an academic in Bangalore, you could check local at local universities in Bangalore, where apartments or rooms for rent are commonly posted.

In general rental rates in Bangalore, increase by a small percentage each year in accordance with the government’s annual cost of living reports in Bangalore. You can find yearly leases in Bangalore, and more short-term housing is available near academic institutes or around tourism areas within Bangalore.

Short-term tourist housing in Bangalore is fully furnished and most of the time fully equipped. If you have the budget, you could rent a serviced apartment in Bangalore.

If you want to buy a property in Bangalore, I would highly suggest you to have the property checked out by yourself and hire a lawyer in Bangalore to check how much debts the property has currently registered and if those numbers matched with the seller of the property in Bangalore.

If you are buying a brand new property, you’ll need to pay property tax in Bangalore. If your purchase is a luxury property, you may have to pay local taxes in Bangalore and possible stamp duty.

Even as a non-resident homeowner in Bangalore, you may become liable for all kind of taxes in Bangalore, including income tax.

Bangalore Mortgages
If you plan to take a mortgage in Bangalore you need at least a 20% downpayment of the purchase price of the property in Bangalore. Even if you generate rental-income from renting your Bangalore property out, it is not considered by most lenders as you may decide to move in, at a later time.

The Bangalore Real Estate calculator will help you to compare the costs of renting a house or condo in Bangalore to the costs of buying a house or condo in Bangalore. Since there are all kinds of forces at work behind the scenes such as the current interest in Bangalore, Bangalore property taxes, tax savings, appreciation in general to investments in Bangalore, comparing the cost of renting to the cost of buying in Bangalore is a lot more complicated than just comparing the monthly mortgage payment to the monthly rent payment.

The Bangalore Calculator attempts to forecast the net effects of all the hidden forces so you can make an informed decision before buying or renting a property in Bangalore.
