Noida property upgrade - Lotus Panache ya Shivkala?
Currently in a 2BHK in Sector 75, thinking of upgrading. The 3C Lotus Panache looks good, but that price jump! Almost double what I paid earlier. Shivkala Apartment is less expensive. Is the extra space and 'luxury' in Lotus Panache worth it? Matlab, amenities wise, Lotus Panache mein zyada dikhta hai brochure mein, but kitna actually use hota hai? Carpet area efficiency bhi dekhna hai. I don't want to pay for space I can't use. Also, resale market mein kaunsa better rahega after 5 years? Already have a home loan, so EMI bhi dekhna hai. Anyone has experience with either project? Tell me your thoughts.

Did you check the builder's background? How many projects have they delivered on time? That's a crucial factor.
Lotus Panache is good for investment purpose. Rent will be high
Ultimately, it depends on your priorities. What's more important to you - space, luxury, location, or budget? Make a list of pros and cons for each project.
So, what did you decide? Lotus Panache ya Shivkala? We're all curious!
Don't forget to factor in the cost of interiors! A bare shell flat in Lotus Panache will require a significant investment to make it livable.
True that! Interiors can easily cost 10-15 lakhs extra, depending on the quality you choose.
Haan yaar, that's where builders make extra money. They offer 'basic' finishing and then upsell everything.
I heard the new metro line extension will benefit Sector 75. That could boost property values in the long run. But that's just hearsay, no concrete plans yet.
My experience with 3C is not good. Delayed possession, poor construction quality. Be very careful.
I invested in a 3BHK in Sector 78 three years ago. Rates have almost doubled since then. Noida property is booming, but be smart about it. Don't overextend yourself.
Lotus Panache mein maintenance charges kya hai? Usually, these 'luxury' societies have sky-high maintenance costs.
That's a very valid point. Maintenance charges can eat into your budget. Ask for a detailed breakdown of the charges.
Resale value depends on a lot of things - location, construction quality, amenities, and overall market sentiment. Lotus Panache *might* have a slight edge due to the 'luxury' tag.
Bhai, I was in the same boat last year. Upgraded from a 2BHK to a 3BHK. Best decision ever! But do your research thoroughly.
Anyone know the current circle rate in Sector 75? That's a good indicator of property value.
I know someone who booked in Lotus Panache two years ago. Still waiting for possession. RERA registration check kiya?
Good point! RERA number is crucial. Don't trust anything without verifying on the UP RERA website.
Sector 75 is becoming a concrete jungle. Think about the long-term impact on your quality of life. Greenery is important!
Shivkala is older, right? So the construction quality might not be as good as Lotus Panache. But then again, older buildings tend to be more solid. Confusing, I know!
EMI is a big factor. Calculate the difference in EMI for both options over 5 years. That extra 'luxury' might not be worth the extra cost.
Carpet area is key! Lotus Panache claims to be luxury, but check the actual usable space. Many builders inflate the super area. Shivkala might have a better carpet area ratio.
Exactly! Mere dost ne Panache mein flat liya, he's complaining about the wasted space in the balconies.
Haan yaar, super area is a scam. Always ask for the carpet area and then negotiate.
Don't just look at the amenities brochure! Go and see if the swimming pool is actually functional, the gym has equipment, and the clubhouse isn't just a fancy room.
Lotus Panache is definitely more 'premium' looking, but honestly, Sector 75 itself is getting super crowded. Shivkala might be a better option if you prioritize peace of mind. Have you considered resale value in both? Sector 75 mein toh bahut supply hai.
Double the price? Bhai, inflation dekho. Everything is expensive now. But seriously, is the ROI worth it in Lotus Panache? That's the real question. I'd say visit both sites multiple times, different times of day.
