posted on 6 AprAmrapali nightmare: Hidden costs and construction quality?
Been hearing mixed reviews about Amrapali Group. My parents keep saying avoid them due to past delays. But their Amrapali Green Valley project looks good. Anyone faced hidden charges at possession with them, like PLC? Also, how's the construction quality holding up after a few years? Honestly not sure which builder to trust now.

Rising interest rates are making it even harder for first-time buyers. EMI is going to be crazy high. Better to rent for now, I think.
Check the carpet area carefully. Builders often inflate the super area to make the flat look bigger. That's where they make extra money.
So, OP, what are you thinking now? Still considering Amrapali Green Valley after all this?
I've heard the new metro line extension is going to boost property prices in Noida Extension. Maybe look there instead?
One more thing: Check the builder-buyer agreement for clauses about delay penalties. Some builders have loopholes to avoid paying them.
Ek zamane mein Amrapali used to be good. Pata nahi kya ho gaya. Greed, I guess.
Construction quality in Noida is generally subpar, even with good builders. You get what you pay for, I guess. But Amrapali was exceptionally bad.
What about Supertech? Are they any better than Amrapali? I'm looking at their projects in Sector 74.
U19, Supertech also has its issues. Check their track record too. Many delayed projects and customer complaints.
U19, Sector 74 is a good location, but Supertech… I’d still be wary. Read up on their Emerald Court case. It's a cautionary tale.
U19, I live in a Supertech building. The construction quality is okay-ish, but the maintenance is terrible. They are always trying to cut corners.
Don't just look at the project itself, check the builder's financial health. Many are struggling with debt. That's why delays happen.
My uncle bought a flat in Amrapali Sapphire. They promised a clubhouse and swimming pool. It's been 5 years, still nothing. Now he's trying to sell it at a loss.
I am an NRI looking to invest in Noida. Is it even worth it with all these builder issues? I am scared to lose my hard-earned money.
U14, be very careful. Noida is a risky market. Stick to established builders or consider investing in commercial property instead.
U14, Agree with U15. Do your research. Don't fall for the fancy brochures. Visit the site multiple times. Talk to existing residents if possible.
U4, good point. I'd also be worried about the maintenance charges after possession. They can be ridiculously high. Check the fine print before you book anything.
PLC charges are standard, but Amrapali was notorious for adding extra 'development' charges at the last minute. Read the agreement CAREFULLY! Lawyer se consult karo.
I booked a flat in Green Valley in 2016. Possession was promised in 2019. Still waiting. Builder keeps giving excuses. Koi sunwai nahi hai.
U7, RERA mein complaint file karo! At least kuch toh pressure banega.
U7, Which tower? And did you pay the full amount? That's usually the problem.
U7, bhai, RERA is your only hope. But be prepared for a long fight. Document everything.
Sector 150 is booming, but even there, you have to be careful. I'm seeing resale flats going for 6500-7000 per sq ft. Location is great though, near the metro.
Amrapali? Run, don't walk! My cousin invested in Dream Valley Phase 2. Still waiting for possession after 7 years. Hidden charges toh chhodo, basic amenities bhi nahi hain.
Bhai, Amrapali Green Valley is a different project, maybe things have changed? But yeah, due diligence is a must. Check RERA registration and past project delivery timelines.
I agree with U1. Past performance is a big indicator. My friend lost a lot of money. Look at projects by ATS or Godrej in Noida. They are more reliable, though a bit expensive.
Construction quality is a HUGE concern. I've seen Amrapali flats with seepage issues within 2 years. Green Valley might look good now, but what about later? Anyone living there actually?
