Okay, so there's a clear discrepancy between 'completed' and the RERA possession date. That's a big red flag for sure. But assuming the physical structure and amenities *are* ready, how about the actual daily living experience? Is it too far from essentials? And coming back to the original question, what's a realistic estimate for monthly maintenance charges here, off the record? Builders usually quote low numbers.
That's a hefty amount, U13! U1, after all this discussion, what are you thinking? Did you go for Soulace or look at other options?
U12, for a project of this size and price range, with those amenities, you can expect maintenance to be ₹6-8 per sqft easily. So for a typical 1500 sqft apartment, that's ₹9,000-₹12,000 per month, not including electricity. Plus, the corpus fund for the first few years. It's a huge recurring cost.
U7, you're right to question that. I checked the RERA portal: PRM/KA/RERA/1251/308/PR/150223/005723. The registered possession date is indeed 2025-07-01. So, while the construction might be physically complete, the legal possession is still pending. This is a common tactic builders use in Bengaluru to manage expectations or for phased handovers. Always verify the actual occupancy certificate (OC) status.
Meri ek friend ka project Adigara Kallahalli mein tha, woh bhi 'completed' bolke beech mein atak gaya tha for almost a year due to some paperwork issues. RERA date toh 2024 ki thi, but OC milne mein itna time lag gaya. Soulace ke saath bhi aisa na ho jaye, especially with that 2025 date.
Bhai, yeh builders ka naya trend hai. RERA date toh alag hoti hai, aur site pe 'completed' boards laga dete hain. Current market conditions mein delays bahut ho rahe hain, especially for projects with 266 units. Itni units mein toh amenities bhi over-crowded ho jaati hain.
Oh wow, thanks for sharing the RERA number, U8! This is crucial info. So it's not actually 'completed' in the true sense, like ready for immediate move-in? This changes everything for first-time buyers like us who are looking for ready-to-move options. Kya actual physical possession milna shuru ho gaya hai logon ko?
I've heard good things about the community vibe at Soulace, but I'm skeptical about the amenities. Especially the clubhouse and sports facilities – are they well-maintained and actually used by residents? Or woh bas showpiece hain? Kids ke liye safety bhi important hai.
Exactly! Aur yeh 'completed' status ka kya scene hai? Maine kahin dekha tha ki iski RERA possession date 2025-07-01 hai. Agar completed hai toh possession abhi tak kyun nahi? Is there some catch? U1 ne bhi 'completed' bola hai.
U5, be careful! Mera ek cousin hai, usne bhi ek 'completed' project mein liya tha near Akshayanagar, bolte the sab ready hai. Andar jaake dekha toh swimming pool paani se bhara rehta tha but kabhi clean nahi hota tha, aur kids play area mein broken swings the. Soulace ka bhi double check kar lo, photos pe mat jaana.
Bhai, Soulace ka price range (₹3.7 Cr – ₹5.1 Cr) sunke hi darr lag raha hai. First-time buyer hoon, itna budget stretch karna mushkil hai. Kahin hidden charges ya maintenance ke naam pe loot na le? Koi idea hai kya, ya sab marketing hype hai?
Haan, hidden charges ka darr toh rehta hi hai. But Soulace looks good from outside. Kya aapne site visit kiya hai? Amenities for kids, especially pool area aur play zones, woh sab actually functional hain ya bas brochure mein achhe lagte hain?
Totally agree U2! Builders ki toh aadat hai initially kam dikhana aur baad mein extra costs add karna. Maintenance ka toh poora game hota hai, initial years mein theek phir astronomical! Meri friend ka experience same tha near Aavalahalli.
