My post-possession shock: Are premium builders overrated?
Okay I'll say what no one says — these builders ki marketing aur actual delivery mein zameen-aasman ka fark hai. Just moved into my 3BHK in Vasant Kunj (DLF project), which cost me around ₹3.5Cr, and yaar, the finishing issues are real. Everyone glorifies DLF ki premium quality but plaster cracks and seepage already? Seriously? My friend who got a Godrej flat in Dwarka also faced similar issues, especially with hidden charges like PLC and maintenance deposits. They charged him a bomb at possession. Matlab, brochure mein toh sab chamakta hai, but after you pay the full EMI, you see the true picture. Is it just me, or do all these big names like Tata Housing and Birla Estate also have these post-possession quality problems and opaque charges? What's your experience? Change my mind if I'm wrong.
