posted on 11 MaySamridhi Luxuriya: Hidden maintenance costs revealed
Been looking at Samridhi Luxuriya Avenue for a smaller flat, kids have moved out. One thing I found: maintenance charges aren't just the advertised figure. Hidden costs for specific society services, like generator backup or elevator maintenance, often add up monthly. Builder initially yeh nahi batata. Anyone confirm this? What's the real total-cost?

This is a widespread issue, not just Samridhi. Always ask for a detailed maintenance breakup before booking.
Totally agree! Transparency naam ki cheez nahi hai in builders ke paas. Sab hidden costs baad mein pata chalte hain.
Are these charges common across all projects or is Samridhi particularly bad?
My budget for maintenance was ₹3000-4000 max. But with all these 'hidden' charges, it can easily go up to ₹7000-8000. For a smaller flat, it's a huge percentage of the total cost. This makes me rethink Samridhi Luxuriya completely, even if the flat price seems okay.
Sahi kaha. Fir bolenge 'sinking fund', 'reserve fund' aur pata nahi kya-kya. It's a trap for first-time buyers like us.
Bhai, you hit the nail on the head! Builders always pull this stunt. The advertised maintenance is just a base, then they add 'club charges', 'DG backup', 'security services' and what not. It's like a never-ending bill. I'm also looking at a flat in Samridhi Luxuriya, but this is a big red flag for me. What about the possession date for this project? Is it really 2025?
Possession date 2025 hai, but project status 'COMPLETED' dikha raha hai. Yeh builder ka classic move hai. Construction toh khatam kar dete hain, but OC (Occupancy Certificate) aur final handovers mein saalon laga dete hain. Tab tak buyer ko EMI aur rent dono dena padta hai. Bahut risk hai yaar.
Exactly! Mere parents ne Ajayabpur mein ek flat liya tha. They were told maintenance is ₹2.5/sqft. But then came charges for 'common area electricity', 'sewage treatment plant upkeep', 'festival decorations fund'. It all added up to almost ₹5/sqft! Aur ye sab society banne ke baad pata chala. Builder ne toh bas minimum figure bataya tha. Samridhi Luxuriya mein bhi same hoga pakka.
Haan bhai, it's 2025-03-29 as per RERA (UPRERAPRJ1746). But the maintenance issue is real. My friend in another society pays almost double what was initially told.
