Land now being ‘coldsold’ over phones !!
June 22nd, 2008
Yesterday morning I had a surprise phone call from an agency that was arranging to take people on a site visit to some place near the Mahindra World City SEZ in Chennai. They said they had gotten my number from justdial.
I certainly hadn’t given justdial permission to share my mobile number with 3rd parties, but I couldn’t resist listening to the pitch nevertheless, considering my posts on aavaas. Seems like the price there is already 650 per square feet. Mind you, this is at least 7 km from the large 1400 acre SEZ and 3.5 km into the interior from the main GST road.
On my enquiry as to why the price was so high (what else would a potential buyer say
), they gave the usual spiel about the plots being DTCP approved and that it is fenced etc. Thought it worth putting up here, since we were discussing about finding lands in areas that are about to be urbanised. Am sure any real estate agent would know of dozens of these layouts and there are several online portals also.
But Caveat emptor.. buyer beware..
