Rajasthan’s City of Lakes Udaipur is seeing a serious boost in real estate investment opportunities and holiday homes, and it’s left many wondering if the city can keep up with demand.
Famously known as the City of Life and dubbed the Capital City of the Royal Lifestyle in Rajasthan, Udaipur has evolved into a peaceful abode for peace loving families and a lucrative investment proposition for prospective investors. With realty sector in the city rising at a fast pace, one can’t help but wonder whether it would be a better option to opt for an independent home or a luxurious villa in Udaipur.
People buy extra lots for many reasons. Whether it be to create a privacy lot or just to have extra space whether you are looking to own more land to have a bigger yard for a garden or to park an RV in, there are many reasons why lots are bought and sold. Both developed and undeveloped lots offer privacy, space and ownership but can offer vastly different lifestyles, price tags and returns on investment. Here is a guide to help you determine what purchasing an extra lot can mean to you.
What is an Independent House?
We list Independent Houses on plots of land where owner has complete control on the land as well as on the building. These Independent Houses are listed in Udaipur in areas like Hiran Magri (Near Swarup Nagar and Swarup Nagar Road), Sector 14, Udaipur Old city and other areas of the city.
One of the biggest benefits to me owning this house is that I fully own the house 100%, I can take care of and fix the house as I deem necessary and I could even potentially add on to the house in the future.
What is a Villa?
Villa stands for a high end residence in a township / gated community developed by builders of India offering modern architecture with beautiful landscaping and many more features to fulfill the dreams of luxurious life.
Villas in Udaipur are either being constructed in areas like Bhuwana, Shobhagpura and other out-skirts of the city where big townships are being set up.
Key Differences: Independent House vs Villa
1. Ownership & Control
This property has full potential and is positioned on a 426m2 block, there’s lots of room to add a double storey extension or simply build your own dream home. Currently, it’s a shared house with land owned by the owner of the property, but you would have full ownership of the property, there may be some restrictions and renovations would need
Villa: You generally have very little control as you are purchasing a single unit and usually are not granted exclusive use or grounds.

Independent Houses give you the complete control and independence as you handle the maintenance, repairs and security of your house as you deem fit. In addition to these advantages Independent Houses also have the scope for huge returns on your investment when you decide to sell as the buyer has maximum flexibility in terms of designing the property.

Having a connection in your villa is one of the biggest blessings especially for busy bees!

“If you want to build your dream home your way, independent houses are the way forward. Whatever your ideal home, there’s an independent housing option to suit your budget and lifestyle – the choice is yours.
6. Cost & Budget
Initially these individual homes may be cheaper to purchase, however as the suburb grows and becomes more established, townhouses can greatly increase in value.
These luxury holiday homes are known as ‘Villas’ and are more expensive because of their premium design, additional amenities and superior locations.
Whilst we are accustomed to thinking of the price of a villa when we are purchasing a new home, it is also important to take into account the annual maintenance fee, which is normally payable on all properties. For many of our clients, this is an important consideration when they are determining their overall budget for their new home. The annual maintenance fee is usually a fixed percentage of the purchase price, and is used by the management company to maintain the property, pay the fees of the lawyers
7. Investment & Appreciation
Independent House: Higher land value appreciation over time.
Villas have Good resale value. Their Appreciation depends on Builder, Project, Location.
Due to the size of city Udaipur; it is getting difficult to find open space therefore investing in independent houses is a better long term proposition.
