Post-possession snagging is a real headache.
Okay I'll be honest — the biggest surprise isn't the EMI, it's the post-possession 'snag list' drama. My kids have moved out, so we're downsizing, looking at places like Vipul Orchid Square. I've heard some builders just don't fix things after possession. What's your best tip for getting them to properly address all the little quality issues, like fittings or paint, before that final payment? Don't want a headache.

Bhai, Vipul Orchid Square? That project is from 2007, right? Almost 17 years old now. I'm also looking for a home near Airport Road, and I've heard mixed reviews about older projects. Is it really worth buying into something this old? What's their reputation like for maintenance and addressing issues so many years down the line? I'm worried about structural issues or hidden problems.
Exactly! My parents bought a flat near Basai from a well-known builder years ago, and even after possession, we struggled for months to get a water leakage fixed. They kept sending sub-contractors who
U2, you're right to be concerned. Vipul Orchid Square is quite old. I know someone who bought a resale in a similar age project in Baliawas, and maintenance charges were high, plus frequent issues with common areas. Builder ki reputation for old projects is often 'hands-off' – they hardly care once it's old.
Yaar, totally relate to this. Hum bhi first-time buyers hain aur ye 'snag list' sunke hi darr lag raha hai. Lagta hai builder bas paisa leke bhag jaayega. What's the best way to hold them accountable, especially for smaller things like a leaky tap or chipped paint? It's our hard-earned money na.
Sahi kaha. I'm looking near Baharampur Naya and even new projects are having these issues. Builders just want to close the deal. You need to be firm and keep all communication documented. A strong RWA can also help post-possession, to collectively push for fixes.
Haan bhai, especially those small finishing issues like wall cracks or loose tiles. Builders try to pass them off as minor, but they add up!
