Be very careful when buying flats in Bangalore
http://saj.in/be-very-careful-when-buying-flats-in-bangalore/
This came in as a forward today. Am not too sure about how true this particular story is, but similar stories keep happening in Bangalore. A lot of thugs are out there on the loot, being sure well-educated and cultured people with some spare cash (of which you have no scarcity in Bangalore) is an easy loot. When each Lokayukta raid comes up with more officers taking favors from these very thugs, keeping away and being careful is the best policy.
People,
Be very cautious before you book a flat with “Sri Lorven” builder in Bangalore.These are two brothers named Narasimman raddy and Mallaya raddy from Andhra Pradesh-Hyderabad. (Mallaya Raddy, the main owner, is government employee in Hyderabad.) They have a peculiar strategy to cheat customers and make crores of rupees.They did similar cheap tricks in Hyderabad for few years and finally they were black listed in Andhra Pradesh city .they came to Bangalore by changing the brand name to “Sri lorven” and started the same tricks here.They offer flat at a very lesser price when compared to market price. Initially they place very decent and educated guys near the reception (their son in law and other relatives) to attract the customers.Usually builder start selling the flat from initial stage. But this builder start the marketing only once he finish 70% of his construction. So first time he collects 70% money from you.In another 20 days after getting the initial 70%, he threaten you that “Registrations in Bangaloreare going to close soon.(Which happened many times in the last few years) Please register your flat immediately”. But at
the time of registration, he says “With out getting 90% of the total cost I cannot register it. Pay me 90% , I will finish registration today and handover the flat in next month”. (You will also think that finishing the
already 70% completed flat is easy and registration is more important). They collect 90% of total flat cost and finish the registration on your name.Once you pay 90% you are in his trap. He collects it from almost all the residents, and then he escapes from the site. You cannot find builder, engineer or even a worker again. He immediately changes all the mobile SIM
cards and you will get “Please check the number” message if you call him.Using the same strategy he starts four to five more projects simultaneously.After 5 to 8 months, once fine day he sends the other one Narasimman raddy to the location. This guy is a big street gunda.He is the worst road side person one can ever find in Bangalore.(You cannot find the earlier decent guys again.) You will be very frustrated and tensed in these 5 months.You will be paying your EMIs and your currently residing flat rents every month.This guy changes the strategy. He says “The market price of this flat, when compared to last year increased by 2 lakhs. (it is obvious that market price will increse in one year and that is the damn reason why we purchse a flat) Pay me that amount to get the remaining work done”. You cannot argue anything because he is a gunda who can speak only foul road side language. He treats customers just like dogs.(He is always accompanied by more gundas and he claims that he has good political background. Even he slapped 2 or 3 of my fellow residents who are decent software engineers and who tried to protest him.) Some people who are frustrated in this transaction compromise and pay that 2 lakh amount thinking that it is better to pay 2 lakhs instead of loosing 20 lakhs which they already paid.Then he will show some progress to those guys who paid the extra amount, just to emotionally force the other guys to pay.Once he collects it from everybody, then he changes the strategy again.He says “I never promised you Electric fittings(Switches,Boards), lift, flat doors, windows, bathroom pipes etc” (Initially you see the plan brochure and think that they are obvious from any builder, but there is a disclaimer
written behind the brochure: “This brochure is purely conceptual and not a legal offering.the developers reserves the right to add/alter/delete any of the specification mentioned here”. He says that he removed all the above componentes from the plan) This chain goes on and on…. and you will never get the flat even after 18 months of you initial payment.One fine day after making more money he leaves the place with out providing even the basic amenities.We approached the bank from where we got the loan but no
use.Finally we paid money from our pocket and got the balance work done. If you want any more clarifications regrading this, you can meet any resident at the following addresses.1)SriLorvenCastle, 5th Main, 7th Cross, Near Hasenda club, Maruti nagar, Mallesh palya(Behind BEML gate) Bangalore.
2)Sri Lorven house, kagadasapura, vignana nagar,behind sct college, Bangalore
3)Sri Lorven paradise,Krisnanna Palya,Byappana halli,Old Madrasroad
4)Sri lorven villa,4th cross, Wind tunnel road, airportalso building more apartments near white field, Banshankari,BTM, JP Nagar and Indira nagarBe very cautious. If you book a flat with him, that’s the end of your happiness and money.Please forward it to your friends and save them from this trap.We suffered and cried because of him.You dont go into his trap.He may change the brand name and come up with a new name.Be careful.
Builders. Here with iam considering few points from the mail circulated on Lorven builders, Banglore and share my experience, so that you will know the facts.
and GIM then it is obvious that the rates are lower than the rates compared with flats providing with these amenities.
The rate high particularly in the locations of Cauvery water supply is available.
Initially they have started flats in CMC areas where there is no Cauvery supply is there.
Builder told me that land rates are getting revised soon and we will go for Registration. They never forced me for the registration.
After i register my flat, the land rates are increased -> registration charges raised.
Residents, and then he escapes from the site. You cannot find builder
,engineer or even a worker again. He immediately changes all the mobile SIM
cards and you will get “Please check the number” message if you call
him.Using the same strategy he starts four to five more projects
simultaneously.

compared to last year increased by 2 lakhs. (it is obvious that market price

again.
The extra amount which I have paid is only for the additional things/ modifications
I have asked. He has committed to do puja for free of cast and have not charge me for that.
After the registration, i have paid the aggreed amount only even though the flat rate raised by 20%.
Iam not sure about other Lorven constructions but definitely not from our apartment.
He says “I never promised you Electric fittings (Switches,Boards), lift,flat
doors,windows,bathroom pipes etc” (Initially you see the plan brochure and

of our apartment and his family also living with him. His children got school admission in bang lore.
1. script or story writing for movies
2. journalism on rumors and gossips
Or
He can even consider starting his own construction business with those above mentioned tricks.
Ok guys I am done. I will leave the rest to your logical thinking.
We are in the same situation as you. I found another website where people are talking about the same. The link is as follows:
The name of the builder is Basavaraj
We are facing the same problem with Radiance Realty. Its owner is very cunning and shrewd person called Manohar Rao Karkal. He insists to get the flat registered without completing and after registration he ran away. As I know there are 5 projects he is working on in bangalore. out of these 2 are in AECS layout. I will just mention his phone nos and any body can try the no. it will say either “NOT VALID” or something else. He is a big rowdy. I will just request all the people who are looking for property in Bangalore, Chennai and Kolkata not to get in trap of this bastard.
Those who are already in trap are requested to come together and file a case in either consumer court or criminal court.
Phone Nos are

All these are roadside people only.
A Victim
if they promise for 100 % loan, then pleae go to proper bank and inquire first you will find out that you will be paying more.
they are big time fraud and have not returned my 75000 still. Lot of people are complaining of bounced cheqs in case of frontline builders.
If you find out their fraud and ask them for money then you have to listen to all the dirty words from them They are fraud and please save you money and check comments about them on net. they only sell All illeagally constructed flats so be careful.

Frontline builders are not builders; they are just a third party doing marketing on commission basis.
There are lots of small scale builders in Bangalore, but for them marketing is difficult due to less man and money. Frontline is catching those people are making some arrangements with them and market their flats. Normally the business is builder may be ok with some cut off money (some x amount per sq ft). But frontline will sell these properties with higher rate + some invalid service tax + higher registration value. What ever the difference money coming with builder demand, is the profit of frontline. When they collect the registration and tax it will calculate based on the final price we got. But while doing registration no builder will show the actual price on paper and accordingly the registration amount and tax will be less than the actual. But this benefit is not coming to customer, frontline will absorb.
And about 100% loan, frontline is having another set up with ICICI. As you know private banks will do anything to get customers. What they are doing is , they forge the document putting very high value on sale agreement. Based on that bank will give loan. Its simple as that. But you may end up in paying more tax.
While dealing with frontline, my advice before paying advance you check the quality of work, builder etc. if you are fully satisfied then only go for advance. And if you are going for 100% loan, make sure that the loan amount is considering your total advance also. The promises like they will refund the difference money etc is remain as promises always. Always make sure that at the time of registration no extra money is with frontline.
Prospective Buyer
They willo not hesitate to sell a plat to 10 people, or hike up their price after getting initial major amounts.
You have 5 Reddy’s in the current BJP govt. having done Dacoity, Looting, Rape, Cheating. Wait until this govt. goes away to pursue proper action.
Hope Kristal group lives up to its reputation and ensures timely completion of all the promised amenities
We never get them on phone or mail for any of our questions.
I agree with you.
Kristal builder’s customer service is very poor.
I never get the customer server when I call.
They are not keeping their promises like buy back option, ontime completion etc.
The managers are not tracking the overall activities that they have promised.
Need advice on buying a flat.
Not BDA or BBMP approved one.
illegal flat at terrace. ( I am planning to buy a flat in legal floor only)

Alpine Eco owner, M.D Mr Kabeer. Cheats, frauds. Alpine Eco was finished poorly and Up to my Knowledge there is some HIGH COURT case running(Alpine Eco) and its not solved, So Please don?t invest in Alpine Housing Development Corp.Court may cancel all registrations.. Viva and Pyramid are left with bare structures for the past 3 yrs now. Residents are going legal on the Kabeer guy who is completely gone underground. Nobody can meet him/talk to him. His phone number has been changed. His associates refuse to talk to customers.BEWARE of Alpine Eco. There is a court case going on in HIGH COURT, and unless its over, there is NO REGISTRATION possible.

I am planning to buy a flat in ND passion,HSR layout extn build by ND developers…. please let me know abour this developer.
They have a large project in 8 acre land near to IT park.Very good area.
What is the current status?
Whats their quote for this project told by them.. Are u going to book with Everjoy..Please provide me an idea.
Awaiting for your reply Vinay
They have done this for many people. Be careful. Never pay booking advance without getting legal advice. They talk very sweet initially and never pick up calls for months and frustrate you.
Which everjoy properties you booked, can u please give ur contact details.
If any one planning to buy flats from ND Developers be careful. they dont have proper documents Big Suffer is residents of ND Oliva and ND Sepel. Kindly contact them how they are feeling buying a property from ND Developers.
I have an Alpine Eco flat and I like them for a few reasons, they do have some nice floor plans they have a large one story that is very open and reminds me of a good style, then they have a larger plan that is great for entertaining and large families. I have found they hold their resale value in Bangalore communities I?ve invested in, prices are sort of fair but they are easy to negotiate with most of the time, not sure about any where else. They have nice features that are mostly standard and u can get decent upgrades without breaking the bank
I completed my registration with out any issues.
Bank also funded

Regarding legal issue, assure that the Project is approved by all the Bank. If the project is approved by any 1 bank then you will have to get the legal. This is a small tips for purchasing a flat.

i am really interested in the Alpine Viva project on whitefield road, but reading some reviews of their other projects that of Alpine eco and Alpine pyramid i am perplexed…even heard that the project of viva got stalled due to some ring road issues, is it now solved? Some even reviewed that the Viva is left with bare structure for the last 3 years.
Mr. Pranay, if you got any information, kindly let me know too. You can email your review to mayank.realestate@gmail.com
In my opinion it’s a total was waste of your money to invest into this project because of following reasons:
1. The Ex Land owners who gave their land to the builder have huge share of apartments in the complex and they are really in-human people, politically backup up, extremely greedy, they have not paid maintenance for last 15 months. Have their key people in the Management Committee (MC) and therefore MC is also not taking any action.
2. These Ex Land owner are constantly milking the maintenance amount collected from the Resident with help of MC monthly to the tune of 20 – 25 lacs per month!!!
3. Total money to be recovered is of tune of Rs 300 lacs from the defaulters of maintenance.
4. There are huge list facilities but all of them are in miserable condition.
5. STP plant never worked!!!
6. You stinking water in the toilet flush.
7. Now Apartment complex is facing a deadly problem wherein red worms are coming in all taps!!!. Many residents have fallen sick and hospitalized because of this. This again is because of total mis-management by the MC. This situation is so serious that it will take months to recover from this problem.
If you want throw your hard earned money when buy an apartment in Alpine Eco.
He is cheating his customers in a big way here.
VAT and ST are applicable only on construction cost and not on the cost of land, BESCOM, KEB, BWSSB, Bore well and amenities charges. Builder is charging at least 56.5K more for 1165 sq ft flat, considering 1000 /- per sq ft for the land cost. Extra amount charged by builder is as follows:
ST+VAT on land cost = 453*1000*8.09%=36647
ST+VAT on BESCOMM and Bore well charges=125*1165*8.09%=11781
ST+VAT on amenities=100000*8.09%=8090
total=36647+11781+8090=56518
Builder told us that they will provide Fenesta window frames and mosquito mesh. But in reality its local made and he is not providing mosquito mesh.
Tiles displayed by builder for lying down in flats are sub standard in quality. He is not giving sufficient choices (only two for flooring and one for kitchen) for tiles. Even small builders have at least 5-6 choices for tiles.
Builder is giving only one power point in guest bedroom. Geyser point is provided only in master bed room bathroom, even though agreement says provision for Geyser in all bathrooms. For each extra power point he is charging 1000/-, which is way high for a under construction building.
Builder is collecting 1 Lac towards amenities. In total he is charging 280*1L=2.8 Crore for amenities. When we asked them about size and specification of swimming pool, club house and other amenities they don’t have any answer.
He is constructing a model flat from past 11 months and still it is not yet completed.

This is no bogus blog and the blog owner (i.e. me) hasn’t made any comment against Kabeer or anyone in this post. The post is well intended and cautionary without making any targeted statements. The comments are from readers. I’ve in general had several bad experiences from builders in Bangalore and my original observation to that effect still holds. Be a bit more responsible while making sweeping statements about others.

He first loota all the 90% money from customers and then literally forces them to back out from the booked flats.
I stay in Alpine Eco apartments, and believe me you do not want to waste your money and time with this builder.
If you are still in dilemma, come over to Alpine Eco apartments and talk to few residents, see the things for yourself, and then decide.
did you get any inputs on empyrean villas at blore.
I m interested to know

Please tell me some good developers in HSR layout and have budgeted project within 50 lac for 2BHK. I know everybody will have their own view of assessment a flat but being a new buyer i want to know about what all things should i consider before buying any flat in Bangalore from any builder.
Abhishek
1) Has anyone heard about This builder or the Marketing agency, and booked a flat here and verified documents for clear titles ?
2) Skyshelter team, mentioned about VAT extra, which was not told to us by sales guy. This is over the basic and amenities cost, about 9.1 % apart from sale deed and registration costing another 6.5 %. Is VAT to be paid customer or the buider ?
as normally no of the other builders or projects i visited, mentioned about VAT payment.

I was looking for an apartment and I nearly closed the deal with SOHAMS BICESTER VILLAGE Apartment coming up. Suddenly I noticed that the work starts and then stops in between for months and on enquiry I came to know that there were some cases. I am told that the ownership of the property is not clear and also that the builder has not left any setbacks as required by law. Looks like he is bribed the government officials to get his work done. The work starts and stops. The project has been going on for nearly 1.5 years with just 25 % of the work completed. Since i work in CV Raman Nagar and live in Wind tunnel Road I keep a check on this builder and the building regularly. The strange part is that there is no description of the project in any website except for its listing in commonfloor etc….sales. If you search for SOHAMS builders, it goes to a Sohams Builders in Mumbai. The Common floor says PNR Group or Sai Sai Ventures . THE BUILDER AND THE PROJECT LOOKS SHADY. I have backed out. If you are interested please make sure that you take necessary precautions or u may lose ur hard earned money.
