Pune builders promise too much, deliver too little
Honestly, I'm just so fed up with renting in Pune. Landlord increased rent again, so finally taking the plunge. Looking at Kunal The Canary Sky Oasis Phase 1, the brochures look amazing. But what's the actual construction quality like after a year? Are there seepage issues? Also, do people actually use those clubhouses, or is it just for show? And are maintenance charges reasonable for what you get?

So much to think about! The RERA number PR1261012502867 is good, at least it's registered. But with 152 total units, it's a decent size. My biggest worry is the maintenance charges. Builders promise the moon, but then monthly charges become a burden. Are they transparent about the charges post-possession?
Coming back to U1's original question about construction quality and seepage. My cousin booked in another Kunal project a few years ago. They had some initial seepage issues in the bathroom, which took a while to get resolved. So, it's not unheard of. Always get a third-party inspection before possession, don't rely only on the builder.
Third-party inspection is a must. And about the clubhouse, in my society, it's mostly used for kids' birthday parties and a few gym-goers. The pool is active in summer. Don't base your decision solely on the clubhouse, it's often underutilized for day-to-day things.
That's a very important point, U8. My uncle had a nightmare with a builder near Sinhagad Road. Constant water leakage from the terrace. Builders usually cut corners on waterproofing. So, good quality construction after a year is rare if they don't do it right the first time.
Same pinch, U1! My landlord is also giving me headaches. I visited Kunal The Canary Sky Oasis Phase 1 site last month. The sample flat looked good, but that's always the case, right? My main concern is the price range, ₹1.9 Cr – ₹2.3 Cr for an ongoing project. Is that reasonable for Pune right now, especially with so much inventory coming up?
I agree with U6. Prices have softened a bit in some pockets of Pune. For 1.9 Cr, you should expect near-possession or ready property. For an ongoing project with such a far-off date, the price should ideally be lower to compensate for the time value of money and risk.
The price is definitely on the higher side for the current market, especially considering the long wait till 2031. You can find ready-to-move options in areas like Ambegaon Budruk for less, though maybe not with the same amenities.
Yaar, I feel you! Rent hikes are crazy. I'm also eyeing Kunal The Canary Sky Oasis. The location near Hinjewadi is good, but that possession date of 2031-03-01 is making me nervous. It's so far away. Is it common for builders to deliver this late?
Long possession dates are a red flag sometimes, especially for new builders. But for established ones, sometimes it's just realistic planning. Check their past projects, how their delivery timelines were. That's key.
2031? Bhai, it's an ongoing project, but that's like 7 years from now! For a first-time buyer like us, that's a huge wait. My friend booked a place in Akurdi and they also gave a long date, but it got delayed by another year. So be careful.
