posted on 3 MayThe real super area shock after possession
Super area calculations are such a rip-off, yaar. Just moved into my Salarpuria Sattva flat in Rajendranagar, and the difference between carpet and super area is insane. They charge for so much common space! Plus, floor rise premium alag se. Is this normal everywhere in Hyderabad? Felt like a hidden cost after booking. Change my mind.

Salarpuria Sattva is a big name, I'm surprised. What exactly was the difference? Like, what's your carpet area vs. super area percentage? Did you check the RERA agreement details before signing? Sometimes these things are mentioned in the fine print.
U3, it's not always 'fine print' that's the problem, it's the lack of transparency. With current market conditions in Hyderabad, builders are trying to maximize profits wherever they can. They know first-time buyers are less informed. Always insist on seeing the
U9 is right. For my flat in Begumpet, the super area was about 28% more than carpet area. The builder said it was standard for amenities like clubhouse and parking ramps. It's tough to negotiate after you've paid the booking amount.
Usually builders keep the difference between 20-30%. Anything above that is a red flag.
Totally feel you! I'm still looking for my first flat, and this super area thing is giving me nightmares. Builders show one price, but then add so many hidden costs like floor rise, amenities, and this vague 'common area' charge. It's so confusing for first-timers like us.
U7, RERA does mention carpet area, but the super area calculation is still a grey area in many projects. I almost booked a flat last year where the difference was almost 40%! It's not just the common areas, sometimes it includes walls, ducts, and even a percentage of the entire building's roof garden. Always ask for a detailed breakdown, even if they hesitate.
Haan yaar, I'm checking properties near Ameerpet, and the brochures always highlight super area. How do we even cross-check these calculations before booking? Is there a RERA guideline for this ratio?
Exactly! My friend bought in Attapur and faced similar issues. The actual usable space was way less than what they projected.
