Moved into Kaanha Homes, new realities hitting hard
Kaanha Homes ka maintenance charge bilkul unexpected hai. Abhi 3 mahine hi hue hain move in kiye, aur jo bola tha, usse kaafi zyada lag raha hai monthly, around ₹4000 for a 2BHK. Yeh normal hai kya for a completed project in Delhi? Honestly, living experience thoda mixed hai. Noise levels kaafi hain, especially subah shaam, roads se bahut shor aata hai. Air quality bhi utni achhi nahi lagti. Society ka vibe theek hai, neighbours friendly hain but bahut events ya interaction nahi dikhta. Jo amenities dikhayi thi, woh bhi utni use nahi ho rahi. Should I just adjust ya kuch complain karna chahiye? Kya aap log bhi aise issues face kar rahe ho Kaanha Homes mein?

This is a classic case, U1. Many builders promise the moon and deliver concrete. My advice would be to first gather all your documents – sale agreement, RERA filings, any communication from the builder about maintenance. Then, try to form a strong RWA or join an existing one. A collective voice has more power than an individual complaint. You can collectively demand an audit of maintenance expenses or push for better noise insulation if possible. But honestly, for noise and air quality, sometimes it's just the location you have to live with. What are your next steps?
But U12, after all this effort, do you think it's worth it in the long run? Ya phir regret hi rahega ki yahan le liya?
U12 is right, RWA is the only way forward. Humare project mein bhi aise hi issues the. Jab RWA ne builder ko legal notice bheja, tab jaake thoda action hua. Alone, you're just one voice.
U1, have you checked the RERA documents for Kaanha Homes? Sometimes the maintenance breakdown or initial estimates are mentioned there. Also, regarding the noise, is your flat facing the main road directly? I viewed a flat in Anand Vihar once, and the highway noise was unbearable, even on higher floors. It's a deal-breaker for me.
U10, Kaanha Homes is quite close to the NH24 extension. That's why the noise from traffic is a constant issue. Air quality is also affected by the pollution from that highway. It's a trade-off for connectivity, I guess.
Exactly, U8. Which road is it near? Is it like a service road or a proper highway? That makes a big difference to noise levels and air quality.
U8, I also live in Kaanha Homes, different tower though. My 2BHK also faces the road and the noise is real. Subah 6 baje se traffic shuru ho jaata hai. Maintenance charge is indeed ₹4000 for me too. We tried talking to the builder's office but they just say 'cost of living has increased'. Amenities ke liye, humne recently ek WhatsApp group banaya hai, trying to get people together for some activities. Maybe you can join if you haven't already?
I was considering Kaanha Homes last year but dropped it because of some red flags during my research. The price range (₹32 L – ₹85 L) seemed good for a completed project in Delhi, but their past projects had a reputation for poor post-possession service and high maintenance. Noise levels and air quality are major concerns in many new developments too, especially if they're close to main arterial roads. If the amenities aren't being used, try to talk to the RWA (Resident Welfare Association) if one has been formed. They can push for better engagement or even re-evaluate the utility.
U4, usually maintenance mein sirf society ke operational charges hote hain – common area electricity, security, cleaning, lift maintenance, etc. Property tax toh MCD ko alag se jata hai. If they're clubbing it, that's misleading. You should ask for a detailed breakdown.
U5, you dodged a bullet then! Delhi mein toh ab aise hi rates hain, demand high hai toh builders bhi apni manmaani karte hain. Current market conditions make it tough for us first-time buyers to find genuinely good deals.
Bhai, ₹4000 for a 2BHK is definitely on the higher side for maintenance, especially if it was quoted much lower initially. Builders often do this – quote low to attract buyers, then hike it up once possession is given. Happened with a friend in a project near Alaknanda too. Did you check your sale agreement for a clause about maintenance charges?
Sahi baat hai, U2. But is this ₹4000 including property tax or just the society's operational charges? Sometimes they club everything and call it 'maintenance'. That makes a huge difference.
Exactly! Yeh toh common trick hai. Humare saath bhi hua tha, hidden charges baad mein nikalte hain. It's so frustrating for first-time buyers.
