posted on 11 MayBaner buyers: What hidden issues did you find?
Okay, I'll be honest — moving into Baner last month was a bit of a reality check. Everyone talks about the connectivity and vibe, but I'm seeing hidden risks nobody really warned me about. The water pressure in our society, even with OC, is surprisingly low sometimes. Also, the constant construction noise from new projects nearby is way worse than I expected. Are others facing similar issues here? What else should new buyers look out for beyond the brochure claims? Hope this helps someone avoid my blind spots.

It's true, Baner has its challenges, but let's not completely write it off. Every developing area in Pune has some issues. The key is thorough due diligence. Don't just look at the show flat; talk to current residents, check RERA for project status, and verify builder reputation. What specific things do you guys check before finalizing a property?
U11, definitely check the builder's past projects. If they have '0' projects delivered like Shree Krishna Associates, that's a huge red flag. Also, get a lawyer to review all documents, not just the sale agreement. Property title and all approvals are crucial.
U10, due diligence mein aur kya kya dekhein exactly?
My biggest regret was not scrutinizing the OC (Occupancy Certificate) process and what it *actually* means for services. We got possession, OC was supposed to be in place, but then we found out about pending utility connections or approvals for certain amenities. It added so many hidden costs and delays. Builders sometimes rush to get the OC to hand over, but the ground reality is different. Always check the fine print, and don't just rely on the builder's word about OC completion.
Sach mein, Baner ka hype bohot hai but ground reality different hai. I'm a first-time buyer and my budget is already stretched. I'm worried about these hidden issues affecting future property value. Kya lagta hai, Baner mein investment kitna appreciate hoga next 5 years mein, considering all these problems?
U6, as someone who bought in Baner 3 years ago, I can tell you the appreciation has been decent, but not what I expected. The constant construction and traffic are deterrents. Maybe look at areas like Sinhagad Road or even Ambegaon Budruk if you're purely looking for investment with better growth potential and slightly less chaos, though they have their own set of issues too.
U6, appreciation depends a lot on the specific micro-market. Baner ke prime areas mein abhi bhi demand hai, but these infrastructure issues can definitely slow down growth. Plus, current market conditions with high interest rates are also a factor.
Oh my god, so glad someone finally said it! The construction noise is unbearable. We bought into a project that was supposed to be quiet, but now there's a new one coming up right next to us. And not just that, I've heard stories about builders here. Like, Shree Krishna Associates, they have zero projects delivered according to their RERA profile, yet they keep popping up in ads. It makes me so nervous about my own investment. What if my builder also pulls a fast one?
Darr lag raha hai ab toh. Hum bhi Baner mein dekh rahe the.
U3, unka track record toh sabko pata hai. They launch projects, take bookings, then nothing moves for years. My friend booked with them near Akurdi and is still waiting for possession from 2019. Baner mein bhi unke kuch land parcels hain, be careful.
Shree Krishna Associates ka kya issue hai exactly? Please elaborate.
Yaar, totally relate! Hum bhi Baner shift hue hain recently and water pressure is a real headache sometimes. Lagta hai sabko yahi problem hai.
