Our minimum investment size varies depending on the property. We offer properties with a minimum investment ticket size starting from Rs. 1 Lakh.

Question 6

How is Claravest different from a REIT?

Accepted Answer

REITs are publicly listed instruments traded on the stock market. They also require a minimum value of Rs. 500 crores. Investors in REITs earn dividends based on the rents received from the properties included in the REITs.
Claravest is a Fractional Ownership Platform that allows you to invest in selected properties and gain returns through property rent and appreciation upon sale.
SEBI has recently introduced Small and Medium REIT regulations, enabling fractional ownership platforms with a minimum AUM of Rs. 50 crores to register as SM REITs. Claravest intends to apply for SM registration once we meet the minimum AUM requirement. In the meantime, we are committed to adhering to SEBI's best practices.

Question 9

When is the property going to be sold?

Accepted Answer

Every property on the platform has a different investment period. Certain properties have a shorter, fixed investment period, after which the property will be sold at a pre-determined price.

Other properties are intended for long-term investment, with their sale projected to occur anywhere between 5 to 7 years after the property is bought. In such cases, we take a vote from existing shareholders. We will proceed with the sale once we receive a 75% vote from shareholders to sell the property.
