Need two-bedroom house on rent

Magicbricks.com Moderator says: A surfer has requested us to post his requirement here. He is relocating to Gurgaon for better job prospects and is looking for a two- bedroom house. He needs this accommodation on rent and should be somewhere near to Udyog Vihar. He wants a safe place that is well connected by transport links.

Can anybody help him? Do you know of any brokers in Gurgaon? Do you know of vacant houses in Gurgaon? How much will a two-bedroom house cost there?

Land rates hiked in Noida. Will you still buy property there?

Magicbricks.com moderator says: Today’s newspaper confirmed my worst fears. Property prices in Noida have been hiked again. The Noida authority has decided to raise prices by 20-25% for all residential, commercial and institutional land auctioned by it. The new rates would be announced in a day or two.

- Will people rethink before buying property there?
- Will less transactions happen?
- Will home seekers shy away from buying property in Noida?

Affordable homes: Can they be a reality?

Magicbricks.com moderator says: At a recent seminar on affordable homes, I heard many people speak on the subject. Many speakers said that the government needs to draft policies for affordable homes. Other speakers mentioned that private developers need to take a lead there?

How do we begin on this concept? Who should take a lead here? Govt or private developers or both of them (Public-Private-Participation model). Any idea, any suggestions? Please paste your answers in the ‘comments’ section. Else, mail them to
