Sattva Lake Ridge's carpet area efficiency feels like a red flag.

Exactly, what was mentioned earlier. RERA carpet area is the legal definition, but builders often play with 'chargeable area' or 'effective carpet area' in marketing. Always carry a measuring tape on site visits! My friend got burned recently because he trusted the sales agent. For Sattva Lake Ridge, the RERA details show a slightly better efficiency than what the sales guy quoted, but still,

Haan, RERA number hai, but carpet area is usually defined differently by builders in brochures vs. RERA. It's tricky.

I think it boils down to individual priorities. If you value location and potential appreciation over immediate space efficiency, Sattva Lake Ridge might work. But if usable area is your top concern, then it's a definite red flag, as the original post mentioned. It's a tough call for first-time buyers. What did you finally decide, OP?

That's a valid point about maintenance. And regarding delivery, 2028-01-01 is still far. Many builders delay, and if they have 897 units, managing that scale can be tough. Don't rely solely on the proposed possession date, add a buffer.

Amenities are okay, standard club house, pool, gym. But maintenance will add up, especially for 897 units. Will they even deliver all of them properly by 2028?
