During travels and interacting with people, you fall in love with particular places. And there are a few that make a place in your heart, never to lose their importance. And at times, you feel that it would be great to have a home in your favourite place and probably retire there? Tell us that it has never happened that you wanted to buy properties at your favourite holiday destinations. The real estate game is solid at international destinations, with people buying and selling properties constantly, but it is less of a tradition in India. However, buying properties here can be tricky, considering our lifestyles. And a few places do not allow you to buy properties at all. Find out below –
1. Kashmir
Travellers’ paradise and everyone’s dream: Kashmir is where you’d want to buy properties or at least have a home when you wish to unwind from the hectic city life.
