It's so frustrating being a first-time buyer. Everywhere you look, prices are skyrocketing, and then you have to deal with these carpet area discrepancies. ₹1.4 Cr is a huge investment, and feeling shortchanged on space is the worst. With possession in 2025-11-01, I wonder if the prices will go even higher by then.
Toh kya karein ab? Should we still consider Soho By Bren or look for other options with clearer carpet area claims?
True that. The Bengaluru real estate market has been crazy lately. Demand is high, especially for projects with good connectivity, which Soho By Bren claims to have. Builders often bank on this appreciation. My friend was looking at a similar project last year, and by the time he decided, the price had jumped almost 10%. It's a tough call, whether to wait for better deals or jump in now. But always prioritize usable space over just the number on paper, especially for long-term living.
The best way to verify layout efficiency is to carry a measuring tape and floor plans when you visit. Don't just eyeball it. Imagine your furniture in each room. For example, if you're looking at a 2BHK, check if a king-size bed fits comfortably in the master bedroom with enough walking space. Look at the kitchen counter space, storage options, and balcony depth. Sometimes, even if the carpet area is technically correct, the layout can be so inefficient with odd corners or narrow passages that it reduces usability. I saw a project near Aavalahalli where the living room was so oddly shaped, it was impossible to arrange furniture properly.
Good question! On the floor plan, look for dead spaces – long corridors that lead nowhere, large pillars inside rooms, or very small utility areas. Also, check door swings; sometimes they clash with furniture placement. For example, in our old flat in Adigara Kallahalli, the main door opened right into the dining area, making it super cramped. These small details add up and eat into the usable space, even if the carpet area seems fine.
That's a smart tip! But what specifically should one look for in a floor plan to spot inefficiencies before even visiting?
Yaar, I've heard similar feedback about Soho By Bren. For ₹1.4 Cr – ₹2.0 Cr, you expect proper space, not just 'on paper' carpet area. Yeh log carpet area calculate kaise karte hain, I wonder? Feels like they include every inch of wall too.
Exactly! My friend booked a flat in Akshayanagar recently, and he faced the same issue. Brochure mein 1200 sqft dikhaya, but jab actual carpet area dekha toh hardly 850 sqft tha. It’s a common trick, unfortunately. Always check the RERA documents for carpet area, not just the marketing material.
Sahi kaha bhai. Actually, RERA rules mandate how carpet area is calculated – it's the net usable floor area of the apartment, excluding external walls, service shafts, exclusive balconies, or open terrace areas. But often, builders add super built-up area or even built-up area in their marketing, which is confusing. For Soho By Bren, the RERA number is PRM/KA/RERA/1251/310/PR/200622/005011, you can check their filings for the exact carpet area mentioned there. But even with RERA, the 'feel' of the space is subjective, aur that's where the problem arises.
Totally agree with you! I felt the same way about the space. Brochures always make it look bigger, but on site, it's a different story. Bahut confusion hai yaar.
