posted on 12 MayHigh investor ratio in upcoming projects can kill long-term value
Researched Sattva Lake Ridge quite a bit last month, honestly thought it was a great investment at first. But I'm now really worried about the investor-to-end-user ratio there. It felt like almost everyone I spoke to at the sales office was looking purely for ROI, not to live there. Is it just me, or does a high investor ratio often lead to ghost societies? I'm talking about long-term maintenance issues, lower community engagement, and eventually, a tougher resale market. Sattva's track record is decent, but does that even matter if nobody actually lives in the building? What's the exit strategy for properties like these after 5-7 years? Would love to hear if anyone has experience with such projects in Hyderabad.

Thanks for sharing your experience. My question is, how do we even find out the investor-to-end-user ratio *before* booking? Is there any RERA data or something official? Or are we just supposed to guess from sales office vibes? Also, what's the typical maintenance cost for projects like Sattva Lake Ridge once possession starts in 2028, especially if occupancy is low?
RERA data isn't available for investor-end-user ratio, that's the tricky part. You have
This is a real issue, trust me. My cousin booked in a project in Attapur 6 years ago, and it was pitched as premium living. Fast forward to possession, and barely 30% occupancy. The gym is never open, swimming pool is a mess, and security is lax because nobody wants to pay maintenance. Resale value has also stagnated because who wants to buy into a project where no one lives? Builder ne toh units sell kar diye, but end-users suffer. Sattva Lake Ridge ka 2028 possession hai, but I'd be very careful.
Exactly my concern for Sattva Lake Ridge. The pricing for 2028 possession seems okay on paper, but if it becomes a ghost town, what's the point? My budget is tight, and I need a place to actually live, not just a paper asset. Is it worth stretching the budget for a ready-to-move just to avoid this?
But ready-to-move ka premium bahut zyada hai aajkal. Sattva ka track record generally acha hai, even with 897 units in this project, I doubt it'll be completely empty. Maybe a mix of investors and end-users is normal now? Just need to ensure the amenities get maintained properly.
Sahi baat hai, ready-to-move mein bhi options dekh lo. Ghost society mein kon rahega?
Totally agree yaar! I visited a project near Ameerpet a few years back, same vibe. Sab bas rent ya resale ki baat kar rahe the. Bahut darr lagta hai aise mein.
