Noida flat buyers, what's your builder horror story?

Since selling the old house, I'm looking at Amrapali Eden Park. Their old reputation scares me though. Heard so many horror stories about possession delays. Pride India Regal Residency is another option, but not sure about the construction quality. Anyone faced hidden charges with either? My budget is tight after the resale of existing property, so extra costs are a big no. Matlab, is it worth the risk? What are your experiences?

Honestly, after reading all these comments, I'm even more scared to buy property in Noida. Maybe I'll just stick to renting.

What's the possession status for Amrapali Eden Park right now? Has anyone actually received possession recently?

Vivek Ahuja30 Mar

My advice: avoid both Amrapali and Pride India. Look for smaller, more reliable builders. Or consider resale options in established societies.

I'm thinking of renting for a while longer and waiting for the market to cool down. These prices are insane.

Which floor are you looking at? Corner units usually command a premium.

So, OP, what did you decide? Did you go with either Amrapali or Pride India, or are you exploring other options?

Be careful with Pride India. I heard they're facing some financial issues. Might delay projects even further.

Where did you hear that, U18? Do you have any proof?

a
archana.dwivedi30 Mar

Just whispers in the market, U19. But better to be cautious, right? Always do your due diligence.

Check amenities completion before booking, I made that mistake with Supertech. Promised swimming pool, club house, everything. 5 years later, only the swimming pool is half-built.

So, basically, Noida mein property lena matlab lottery hai. Either you get lucky, or you get screwed. Good luck, OP!

Don't forget to factor in the registry charges and stamp duty. That can add a significant amount to your overall cost.

I'm an NRI looking to invest in Noida. Is it a good time to buy considering the current market conditions?

Rates are high, but Noida is still a good investment in the long term. The infrastructure is improving, and there's a lot of development happening. But do your research!

Thanks U16! Any specific sectors you'd recommend?

Builder ne phir se date extend kar diya lol. Ab toh aadat ho gayi hai. At least they sent a 'sincere apology' email. As if that makes a difference.

Bhai, RERA registration number check karo before you even think about booking. It's the first thing you should do. And read the fine print! Sab kuch likha hota hai wahan.

vivek.ahuja78930 Mar

Exactly! RERA website is your best friend. Search for complaints against the builder too.

RERA is good, but enforcement is still weak. I filed a complaint 2 years ago and still waiting for a resolution. But still, better to be safe than sorry.

True U10, but at least it's *something*. Before RERA, builders used to do whatever they wanted. Now there's at least some accountability.

I bought in Amrapali Dream Valley back in 2014. Promised possession was 2017. Still waiting. Court cases are going on. Lost all my savings. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Sector 75 mein kya rate chal raha hai aaj kal? I'm planning to sell my 3BHK.

s
swati.malhotra45630 Mar

Rates are going up because of the new metro line extension. Good time to sell!

gurpreet.singh198830 Mar

Sector 75 mein depends on the society and the floor. But generally, around 6500-7500 per sqft. Check Magicbricks and 99acres for recent transactions.

Suraj Varma30 Mar

Amrapali Eden Park... bhai, run! Just run! My cousin bought there years ago, still fighting for possession. Pride India, never heard much good about them either. Hidden charges toh pakka milenge, be ready for 'development fees' and 'maintenance deposit' jo kabhi wapas nahi aate.

K
Karan Gupta30 Mar

Totally agree with U1. Amrapali is a big no-no. I'd suggest looking at projects by Godrej or ATS, slightly more expensive but at least you get what you pay for. Peace of mind is worth something, right?

Javed Akhtar30 Mar

Pride India Regal Residency... Sector 150 mein hai na? I heard their construction quality is okayish, nothing great. But Amrapali is definitely worse. Have you checked out Mahagun Moderne? Thoda purana hai, but resale mein decent deals mil jaate hain.

a
arjun_singh_delhi30 Mar

Mahagun Moderne is good but parking is a nightmare! And the maintenance charges are insane.

v
vaibhav.tandon.203230 Mar

Haan, U4 is right about the parking. My friend lives there and he's always complaining. But the location is prime, right next to the metro.

a
archana.dwivedi30 Mar

Metro toh ab sab jagah aa gaya hai! Sector 137 mein bhi options dekh lo, connectivity is great now.

Elias Thomas30 Mar

Hidden charges are a real pain. Always get everything in writing, even the parking charges. I learned that the hard way. Builder ne bola tha free hai, baad mein bola 'lifetime maintenance' ka charge hai.
