Completed Commercial in Hyderabad

The western office belt

Every building here sits in the west of Hyderabad, where the city's IT and services offices are concentrated. Gachibowli, Hitech City and Nanakaramguda form one continuous office district, and the Financial District lies just beyond. The Blue Line metro reaches Hitech City, and the Outer Ring Road passes the southern side of this belt. Hafeezpet is a little to the north, towards Miyapur.

The units on offer

• Purva Summit by Puravankara in Hitech City has the lowest entry price, Rs. 63 Lakhs.
• Sreenidhi Commercial Project in Hafeezpet, by Sreenidhi Builders, is listed at Rs. 90 Lakhs.
• Mahaveer Gateway in Nanakaramguda, by Mahaveer Group, starts at Rs. 95 Lakhs.
• SAS iTower in Gachibowli, by SAS Infra, is the costliest at Rs. 1.12 Cr.

Ask each seller what the price covers: carpet area, super built-up area, the number of car parks and any fit-out already done.

Checks that matter for commercial property

A commercial unit is judged differently from a flat. Work through these before you sign:

• Confirm the occupancy certificate covers commercial use for the floor you are buying.
• If the unit is already leased, read the lease: tenant name, lock-in period, escalation clause and security deposit.
• Find out the monthly maintenance charge per square foot and what it covers, such as air conditioning, security and power backup.
• Check the property tax assessment and whether it is paid up to date.
• Ask whether fire safety approvals are current, as offices are inspected for this.

Who should look here

These units suit a firm that wants to stop paying rent, a professional setting up a practice, or a buyer willing to hold a unit for many years. Rental income from offices is never guaranteed, so do your own checks. For every commercial listing in the city, at any stage, see commercial for sale in Hyderabad.
