Why rents vary so much
- Building age and condition. Flats in Kestopur for rent in a newer building with a lift and a gated entrance rents for more than an old walk-up.
- Floor. A ground floor can be cheaper but is more exposed to noise and, in the monsoon, to water.
- Furnishing. Furnished and semi-furnished flats cost more than unfurnished ones.
- Distance from VIP Road and Sector V. Flats that are a short walk from main roads and transport are priced higher.
- Carpet area. Listings quote built-up or super built-up area, so ask for the carpet area before comparing.
What a rental agreement usually looks like
- 11 months. Many listings offer an 11-month agreement with a month’s notice. Leases longer than a year generally have to be registered, which is one reason 11 months is common.
- A security deposit. Listings mention a deposit of one month’s rent or more, so confirm the amount, when it is refunded and what can be deducted, in writing.
- Brokerage. Some listings are flats for rent in Kestopur, Kolkata without brokerage, posted directly by owners, while agents usually charge a fee. Ask before you visit.
- Maintenance and bills. Confirm who pays the building maintenance, the water charges and the electricity, and whether the meter is in the owner’s name.
Before you pay a deposit
- Ask for proof of ownership, such as a recent property tax receipt, and make sure the person you deal with is the owner or an authorised agent.
- Inspect the flat for damp, leaks, wiring and water supply using our flat inspection checklist, and visit after rain if you can.
- Test the commute from the flat to your workplace at your usual hours.
- Get everything in writing: the rent, the deposit, the increase each year, the notice period and a list of what is in the flat.
- Keep receipts for every payment.
Rent or buy: what the numbers say
Here is a typical rent next to the EMI on the lowest-priced Krishna Group flat of the same size, with the maximum loan at 9% over 20 years:
| Size | Typical rent | Krishna Group flat | EMI | EMI compared with rent | Cash needed upfront |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 BHK | ₹6,000–9,600 | Krishna Lakeview at ₹26 lakh | ₹21,054 | 2.2–3.5 times | ₹4,42,000 |
2 BHK | ₹14,000 | Krishna Heights at ₹32 lakh | ₹25,912 | 1.9 times | ₹5,44,000 |
3 BHK | ₹19,000–22,000 | Krishna Paradise at ₹50 lakh | ₹35,989 | 1.6–1.9 times | ₹13,50,000 |
Estimates only. The cash upfront is the minimum down payment plus stamp duty and registration at about 7%. Your lender’s rate and limits will differ. See our guide to rent vs buy in Kestopur for how to weigh the two.
Rent is clearly cheaper each month, and a tenant also needs far less cash upfront than a buyer. The difference is what you get for the money. In the first year of the ₹28,80,000 loan on a Krishna Heights 2 BHK, about ₹53,934 of your payments, roughly 17%, repays the loan, and that share grows every year until you own the flat outright. A rent payment builds nothing. Nobody can predict future rents or flat prices, so the honest question is how long you plan to stay and whether you can afford the EMI comfortably.
