Big Mistakes Mumbai Home Buyers Make in Real Estate | Hussain S. Lalani | Spotlight with Chirag

Описание: Mumbai real estate is often discussed in headlines — prices, launches, and trends.

But the real story lies beneath the surface.

In this episode of Spotlight with Chirag, I sit down with Mr. Hussain S. Lalani, Director at the Lalani Group, for an in-depth and honest conversation on the present and future of Mumbai’s real estate market — from investment potential to legal realities and lifestyle-driven decisions.

With years of experience in developing and managing real estate projects across Mumbai, Mr. Lalani shares practical insights that are extremely relevant for homebuyers, investors, and anyone planning to enter the Mumbai property market.

🎙️ Topics covered in this episode include:

⚖️ Real Estate Litigation
Why projects get stuck, where buyers go wrong, and what to be cautious about before investing.

💰 Can Real Estate Really 2X Your Investment?
Understanding returns, timelines, and expectations versus reality.

📍 Bandra — The Vibe & Value

Why Bandra continues to command a premium, not just as a location but as a lifestyle and long-term investment.

🚦 Mumbai Traffic & Connectivity
How infrastructure, daily commute, and accessibility directly impact property prices and buyer demand.

🛣️ Coastal Road & Infrastructure Impact
How major infrastructure projects like the Coastal Road will benefit Mumbai suburbs such as Goregaon, Malad, Kandivali, and Borivali, and what it means for future growth.

🏙️ Suburban Mumbai Growth Story
Why the western suburbs are becoming increasingly important for both end-users and investors.

📉 Is a Mumbai Market Crash Coming?
A realistic discussion on market corrections, cycles, and whether the coming phase could become a buyer’s market.

🧠 Advice for Homebuyers & Investors
What to evaluate beyond brochures — location, legality, infrastructure, and long-term livability.

As the host, I steer the conversation toward real, on-ground insights — cutting through hype and focusing on what truly matters when making property decisions in Mumbai.
