Just moved into Mahira Homes 88B, some things surprising me

It's a tough spot, U1. While affordable housing comes with its compromises, basic necessities like consistent water and power backup shouldn't be among them. It's the reality for many projects, especially in newer development zones like sector 88B, which might still be getting integrated into the main civic infrastructure. Did you check the builder-buyer agreement for specific clauses on these amenities? What are your next steps now that you've identified these issues?

Absolutely, tanker dependency and limited power backup are huge red flags for both tenants and future buyers. For investors, this translates directly into lower rental yields and slower appreciation. Why would someone pay good rent for a place where basic utilities are a constant struggle? It's not just about the price point, it's about livability.

Coming to the power backup, U1, unfortunately, non-full backup is quite standard for many affordable and even some mid-segment projects in Gurgaon. Full backup for the entire flat is usually a premium feature you find in higher-end societies. But yes, it *does* affect tenant attraction. In this scorching Gurugram summer, no one wants to live without AC or fridge backup. Current market conditions are already tough for landlords, so any amenity gap makes it harder to find good tenants.

U3 is right, I checked the RERA site too, Mahira 88B ka possession toh 2026 mein hai. U1, maybe you got possession of another Mahira project? Regardless, the water issue you mentioned is very common, especially in areas like Badshahpur and some parts of New Gurgaon. Tanker dependency is a huge pain for tenants, they usually move out for better options if it's too frequent. It definitely impacts rentability and sometimes even property value in the long run.

My possession for Mahira Homes 88B was in March and I'm still figuring out a lot for my tenant. The power backup here is... not full flat, just common areas and a couple of points. Is this normal for Gurgaon projects? Honestly, I thought full backup was standard. Also, the water supply sometimes feels iffy. Does tanker dependency really impact tenant attraction or future ROI for investors? Should I expect these issues to improve, or is this the reality?
