Minerva possession: Facing unexpected quality issues
Okay I'll be honest — I completely underestimated how much difference a few months makes. Just got possession of my 2BHK in Minerva, Pune back in March. On paper, the amenities looked amazing, but now... the clubhouse is barely functional, and the swimming pool is always 'under maintenance'. Plus, noticed some hairline cracks already. Not sure if this is normal or if I should push the builder. What's been your experience with new projects and quality after a few months?

This is exactly why due diligence is so important. Minerva (RERA: P52100049203) actually has a possession date of 2028-03-01. Are you sure you're talking about the same project? If yes, then getting possession so early and facing issues is a HUGE red flag. You should check your agreement papers carefully. Builders often cut corners to finish early or they're delivering a different phase. Don't let them push you around.
Exactly! This RERA number P52100049203 is what I saw too. If OP got possession in March,
Totally relate! My cousin booked in a project near Akurdi, same story. Promises on paper, reality is a nightmare. They had issues with water pressure and lift breakdowns within months. Builders just want to sell and move on.
Oh no! This is my biggest fear. Builder quality is such a gamble these days. Which Minerva are you talking about though? I thought its possession is in 2028, as per RERA. Confused.
Dekho, 'different phase' ya 'early completion' sounds like a way to bypass RERA for new projects. You need to check if your specific building/phase is registered and what its actual RERA possession date was. Otherwise, you have very little recourse. This is a common builder tactic to avoid penalties for delays on the main project or to sell sub-standard units quickly. Don't fall for it.
Oh, builder tricks! Happens all the time. 'Different phase' is their go-to excuse to bypass rules, I tell you.
Haan, I know. Woh Minerva (RERA P52100049203) toh 2028 wali hai. But my project was also called Minerva, near Sinhagad Road. Builder said it's a different phase, completed early. Ab lag raha hai phans gaya, yaar. So much stress.
