Luxury Habitat is a luxury real estate advisory and brokerage firm based in New Delhi, with an active focus on Gurgaon, Delhi (Lutyens, South Delhi, and the major farmhouse zones), Dubai, and Goa. We work with a private client base of HNIs, NRIs, and family offices to identify, acquire, and manage high-end residential and commercial real estate.

Our work spans luxury residential acquisition, investment advisory, off-plan and pre-launch access, holiday home sourcing (primarily Goa and Dubai), real estate portfolio management, and pre-leased commercial investments. We act as a single point of contact for the full lifecycle of a luxury property investment.

We are actively transacting in Gurgaon, Delhi (Lutyens, South Delhi, and the major farmhouse zones including Chattarpur, Westend Greens, and Satbari), Dubai, and Goa. Each market has its own dedicated advisor.

Most brokers work transaction to transaction. We operate as a long-term advisory partner, which means we also take responsibility for portfolio strategy, off-market sourcing, and post-purchase management. A meaningful share of the deals we close never appear on any public listing.

We focus on the premium and super-luxury segment. In Delhi-NCR, our typical engagement begins around the ₹5 crore mark for apartments and significantly higher for farmhouses and bungalows. Dubai and Goa engagements start at roughly equivalent levels.

DLF Phase 5, and specifically the Golf Links cluster — DLF Camellias, DLF Magnolias, DLF Aralias, and DLF Crest — remains the core super-luxury address. Golf Course Road more broadly, Golf Course Extension Road, and select sectors along Dwarka Expressway make up the rest of the Grade-A residential market.

Apartments in this cluster currently transact between roughly ₹40 crore and ₹200 crore depending on tower, floor, view, and configuration. Camellias commands the highest per-square-foot pricing, followed by Magnolias, then Aralias. These numbers shift with market cycles, so we recommend asking for current quotes before any decision.

For prime Gurgaon luxury apartments, gross yields typically run between 3% and 5%. Well-positioned units with strong corporate leasing potential sit at the upper end of that range. Capital appreciation is generally the larger component of total return in this market.

For long-horizon investors focused on Grade-A, ready-to-move inventory, the thesis continues to hold. Supply is tight and infrastructure keeps improving. Short-term speculative entries at peak pricing carry more risk, and we usually recommend discussing specific projects before committing.

Golf Course Road is the older, more established corridor with the DLF flagship developments and deeper resale liquidity. Golf Course Extension is the newer luxury corridor, with slightly lower entry pricing, higher transaction velocity today, and strong appreciation potential as infrastructure matures. Most balanced portfolios hold exposure to both.

In principle yes, but supply is extremely limited. Most Lutyens bungalows sit on leasehold land governed by specific regulations, and transactions require careful legal structuring. Genuine Lutyens sales are rare events, and the majority are completed privately rather than through public listings.

Farmhouse pricing in Delhi varies widely based on zone, plot size, construction quality, and legal status. DLF Chattarpur Farms and Westend Greens command the highest prices. Current benchmarks are typically quoted per acre and depend heavily on whether the plot is inside a gated community and what the built-up structure is like.

DLF Chattarpur Farms and Westend Greens are the two most premium, professionally managed farmhouse clusters in Delhi. Residents include industrialists, political families, and senior professionals. Pushpanjali and Radhe Mohan Drive sit in a similar price band with slightly different buyer profiles. Ansal Satbari and Asola Farms offer larger plots at relatively lower entry points.

Yes, particularly for buyers focused on legacy and land value rather than rental yield. South Delhi pockets like Jor Bagh, Sundar Nagar, Golf Links, Vasant Vihar, and Shanti Niketan attract old-money families and senior industrialists who prefer bungalow-format living to high-rise apartments. Appreciation is steady; rental yields are modest.

Yes. Indian citizens can buy freehold property in designated areas of Dubai, including Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Emaar Dubai Hills, and Sobha Heartland. The process is relatively straightforward and typically faster than Indian real estate transactions.

Under the RBI's LRS, each Indian resident can remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year. Families commonly pool LRS allowances across members to fund larger purchases, and payment plans from Dubai developers are structured to match this rhythm. Your chartered accountant and our team can walk you through a compliant structure.

Property investment of AED 2 million or more currently qualifies a buyer for the UAE Golden Visa, a 10-year renewable residency. This has become a significant driver of Indian HNI interest in Dubai real estate over the past three years.

Dubai typically delivers higher gross yields than Indian luxury markets, commonly 5% to 8% for prime residential depending on location, specification, and whether the unit is offered furnished for short-term letting. Palm Jumeirah and Downtown Dubai sit at the premium end; Business Bay and Marina often offer the best yield balance.

It can be, but Goa has unique title and land-use complexities rooted in Portuguese-era law, agricultural land restrictions, and Coastal Regulation Zone rules. Clean-title inventory does exist but requires careful legal diligence. We transact only in properties where title has been independently verified.

Well-managed luxury villas in North Goa typically generate 8% to 12% gross yields through short-term rentals, depending on location, specification, and management quality. Villas in Assagao, Siolim, and Vagator command the strongest rates. Owner-used months should be factored into realistic yield projections.

Yes. We work with vetted villa management partners who handle guest bookings, pricing, housekeeping, and preventive maintenance. Most of our Goa clients use a combination of personal stays and professional rental management to make the property self-sustaining.

Prime residential in Delhi-NCR typically yields 2.5% to 4% gross. Commercial and pre-leased office investments deliver 5% to 9%. Holiday homes in Goa can reach 8% to 12%. These ranges are gross — net yields after maintenance and management are lower.

Commercial, particularly pre-leased, delivers higher cash yield. Luxury residential delivers stronger capital appreciation and better tenant quality. Most well-structured HNI portfolios hold both, in proportions that match the investor's cash flow needs and risk appetite.

Off-market transactions are property sales that never appear on public listing platforms or aggregators. They typically involve sellers who prefer discretion — family offices, high-profile individuals, and institutional owners — and buyers who are given exclusive access through trusted advisors. A meaningful share of genuine super-luxury transactions in India happens this way.

We map your financial objectives, time horizons, and cash flow needs against the right asset mix across Delhi-NCR, Dubai, Goa, and commercial holdings. The goal is a portfolio that balances yield, appreciation, and liquidity, with a clear view on entry and exit timing.

Yes. NRIs and OCI cardholders can freely purchase residential and commercial property in India under FEMA regulations. Funds must be routed through proper banking channels such as NRE, NRO, or FCNR accounts.

This is nuanced. NRIs and OCIs generally cannot purchase agricultural land, plantation property, or farmhouses directly under FEMA. Inheritance is permitted, and farmhouse structures within gated residential communities may have different classifications depending on land records. Each case requires legal review before proceeding.

Sale proceeds can be repatriated subject to FEMA limits, generally up to USD 1 million per financial year from the NRO account, with specific rules for properties originally purchased with foreign funds. Proper documentation from the original purchase onward makes the repatriation process much smoother.

Yes, most NRI clients purchase remotely. A registered Power of Attorney granted to a trusted representative, often a family member, is the standard mechanism for signing documents, completing registration, and managing post-purchase formalities.

Pre-leased property is commercial real estate that already has a tenant in place, usually on a long-term lease. The investor buys both the asset and the rental cash flow from day one. Yields typically range from 5% to 9% depending on tenant credit, lock-in tenor, and location.

Three factors matter most: tenant credit quality (who is paying the rent), lock-in period and escalation clauses (how predictable the income is), and underlying asset quality (whether the building will still be leasable in ten years). We evaluate all three before recommending any pre-leased deal.

Yes. We source and advise on commercial and retail space for occupier clients, whether the requirement is a corporate office, a retail flagship, or a business expansion into a new market.

It depends on the developer. With top-tier names like DLF, Godrej, Tata, M3M, and Emaar, off-plan investment has historically delivered strong returns with manageable risk. With less established developers, risks include delays, specification changes, and financial distress. We only work with developers who have a consistent delivery record.

Assured return schemes commit the developer to paying the investor a fixed percentage of the investment amount annually until possession, sometimes extending as a lease guarantee beyond possession. These structures need to be read carefully — the underlying project economics have to support the assurance for it to hold up over time.

Flagship projects from top developers are often allocated through preference lists before the public launch. Access to these lists typically comes through long-standing advisor relationships. Pricing at pre-launch is usually lower than at public launch, and the best inventory is often locked up before the project opens officially.

Most engagements start with a confidential consultation, either in person, by video, or on a call, where we understand your requirements, timeline, and budget. We then build a tailored shortlist rather than sending generic options. You can reach us at +91-98188-18000 or info@luxuryhabitat.in.

Brokerage fees are structured in line with industry standards for the relevant market and the type of transaction. For advisory and portfolio management engagements, we discuss fee structures upfront before any work begins. There is no charge for an initial consultation.

Yes. Client confidentiality is central to how we operate, particularly for high-profile individuals and family offices. Information shared with us is not disclosed to third parties without explicit consent, and many of our transactions are completed under formal confidentiality arrangements.

For ready-to-move residential, a typical transaction from first site visit to registration runs 45 to 90 days, depending on how quickly documentation, valuation, and financing come together. Off-market and cross-border deals can take longer. We provide clear timeline estimates upfront for every engagement.
