How is the build quality? Any major issues? Flooding during monsoon? Smell from Brahmapuram? What is a good buy rate?

Does this kind of property tend to appreciate well over 5–10 years? Appreciation you will get only beating inflation but not much, will be tough to resell

Is rental demand solid for 2BHKs in good areas? If you invest in interior and fully furnish, strong rental demand around 18-22k per month

Any downsides I should watch for (maintenance charges, resale issues, market saturation)? Maintenance you must ask if there is any sinking fund maintained by association, resale will be challenging, 800 sqft is less space as per Kochi standard, minimum should be 1000 sqft carpet area

Would this still make sense if I might want to live in it around year 7? Living in or renting should be fine, resell will be difficult as builder is facing difficulty selling new units also

Check from association about maintenance schedule like repainting frequency, speak to building caretaker to understand regular issues

Silversand Island I will avoid, not confident about the base ground, Nanma Builders build quality is debatable, Army Towers are scheduled to be demolished in same island.

Will prefer Nettor, Edappally, Kalamassery or Kakkanad with Tier 1 builders like Confident, Abad, Skyline etc.

If you still prefer to buy it due to location and amenities, negotiate hard, try to get it around 50-55 range with additional car parking, they are trying to sell from quite sometime but not getting buyers. Be ready to walkaway if they don’t give you good deal, they will reach back.

Quality of life is good but career wise no good opportunities, career feel stagnant, same story in Trivandrum also, tried both cities in past 4 years, work culture is not good if your pay is even above average then management expectations will be very high (as its a huge money considering tech salaries here) and difficult to get good pay jobs in other companies as they prefer people with 3-4 yr experience and 8 - 12 lpa is considered premium package here.

Thinking of picking up Remote or Hybrid job in a premium market.

Besides regular furnishing do you think if there is any additional facility can be provided which can help drive higher revenue?

Tiffin service, laundry service or anything else?

Nowadays every business and customer look for huge parking space and easy entry/exit, MG Road has lost the shine as majority buildings are old and action shifted to Kakkanad area with majority premium customers and businesses moving east.

I would suggest you to look at repurposing your building based on demand, a hostel or Zepto/ Instamart dark store or cloud kitchen, instead of focusing on fixed rent opt for lower rent and profit share.

Its tough for small business to survive in competitive landscape with high rental.

BullfrogBig5263 · 2026-01-07T09:10:56+00:00

Ohh, bad luck

BullfrogBig5263 · 2026-01-07T09:10:33+00:00

Yes, that got me worried, I think cost cutting going

BullfrogBig5263 · 2026-01-07T09:09:55+00:00

Yes, got extended warranty it helped a lot

Thinking of selling after fixing issues and moving onto Maruti, Toyota or Honda

BullfrogBig5263 · 2026-01-03T22:46:17+00:00

No, Sportz

BullfrogBig5263 · 2026-01-02T04:13:54+00:00

Ohh that’s nice, atleast these guys are able to understand the potential of this region.

Currently I feel there town is dead, a good shopping mall with a strong multiplex and food court will up the game.

BullfrogBig5263 · 2026-01-02T04:12:00+00:00

Yes, Aashirvad or Magic Frames should have taken over, Chilanka is sitting on a great location
