Chennai’s real estate market is full of opportunities, and joint venture (JV) deals are one of the smartest ways for landowners to capitalize on their property without selling it. But not every land parcel is suitable for a JV. Builders evaluate several factors before entering into a joint venture agreement.
So, what makes a piece of land “JV-ready”? Let’s explore.
1. Location, Location, Location
Builders are always on the lookout for plots in prime or emerging areas. Locations with good connectivity to roads, schools, offices, and markets have higher JV potential.
Top Picks:
– Near metro stations or highways
– Close to IT parks (OMR, Porur, Sholinganallur)
– Residential hubs (Anna Nagar, Adyar, Tambaram)
2. Clear Title and Legal Documentation
The most important requirement for any JV is clean legal documentation. Builders will avoid properties with unclear titles, boundary disputes, or encumbrances.
Ensure:
– Patta is in order
– Encumbrance certificate is clear
– No legal heirs are pending or disputed
3. Minimum Plot Size
For an economically viable project, most builders prefer a minimum plot size—generally above 2,000 sq.ft. However, in high-demand areas, even smaller plots may work.
4. Zoning and FSI Rules
Your land must conform to local development regulations. Builders check Floor Space Index (FSI) rules to understand how much construction is allowed.
Example:
A plot in a residential zone with an FSI of 2 means a 2-storey building can be constructed for every 1 storey of land area.
5. Access Roads
Land with at least 20 feet road access is usually preferred, especially for apartment or commercial developments. Wider roads allow easier construction and approvals.
6. No Pending Loans or Litigation
A JV project cannot begin if the land is under dispute or mortgaged. Always settle bank loans or pending litigations before approaching a builder.
