Carpet area promises for ongoing projects are a total gamble, especially in Sohna.
I'm fed up of renting, landlord raised rent again, so finally taking the plunge for Big Block Floors. Trying to figure out actual usable space, not just super built-up. It's listed at ₹1.20 Cr–₹1.60 Cr, but what's the real living space feeling like there? Anyone have tips for really verifying carpet area before possession in an ongoing project? Hope this helps someone else trying to avoid surprises.

Wait, RERA Not Applicable? For an ongoing project? That's really strange and makes me super uncomfortable. How are they even selling without a RERA number? Is this some loophole or is the project not approved yet?
Could be they started before RERA came into full effect, but even then, many projects got registered retrospectively. Or it's a very small project. But for ₹1.2 Cr, it's a huge gamble. The current market conditions in Gurugram are already tough, don't add more risk.
Haan, RERA Not Applicable is a big problem. It might mean they are selling plots or smaller independent floors that sometimes fall outside RERA's purview, but for a 'Big Block Floors' project, it's highly suspicious. Be very careful.
Carpet area verification is a nightmare for ongoing projects. My cousin bought a place near Airport Road, Gurgaon side, and they changed the layout slightly during construction, impacting the actual usable space. Best bet is to get it in writing with clear penalties if the carpet area differs. Also, check if they have any RERA disputes against them. What's the listed RERA number for Big Block Floors?
I heard sometimes projects below a certain size don't need RERA, but for flats at 1.2 Cr, that sounds shady. Always cross-check with the RERA website directly, don't just trust what the builder says.
Exactly! No RERA means no official recourse if they mess with the carpet area or possession date. This is a huge concern. Builders can get away with a lot without RERA.
RERA number is 'Not Applicable' as per the post. That itself is a red flag for me. How can an ongoing project not have a RERA number? That's very risky.
Good luck with your home search! Renting is such a drain. I'm also looking in Sohna, but the prices are making me nervous. ₹1.2 Cr minimum for an ongoing project feels like a big commitment.
Big Block Floors? Sohna mein? Bhai, carpet area ka toh sabse bada jhol hota hai ongoing projects mein, especially in that belt. Builders bas bol dete hain, baad mein kuch aur nikalta hai. ₹1.2 Cr mein bhi, you need to be very careful. Did you check their previous projects for this kind of issue?
Haan, pichle projects ka track record dekhna bahut zaroori hai. Builders often inflate carpet area on paper. It's a common trick. Try to find someone who has already taken possession from them.
Totally agree. My friend booked a flat near Badshahpur, same issue. Carpet area was almost 15% less than promised. Ab case chal raha hai uska. Be very, very cautious.
