Launch rates as said before are practically not 4450 but 4850-4900 psf on saleable area after adding infrastructure charges,<br />5. 10,000/month penalty works out to be hardly 2-3% of flat price. Ideally it should read 2-3% interest from builder incase of delay*,<br /><br />4. Very important aspect of 'Price Protection' - this is still not clearly talked about.<br />I am sure there must be some *terms & conditions apply which is nowhere mentioned, in the blog or in video. It will be good to have some clarity on it.<br /><br />Water issue is not being discussed. Prima facie it looks like project will be completely water tanker dependent, just like several others in Balewadi, Hinjewadi, Bavdhan.<br /><br />Buying under construction flat is risky, nor is it value for money as rents are just around 1.5% of flat price, and as you have rightly suggested many times, it is best to buy ready for possession flats with all sanctions.TheMonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302024072486930340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-53338456398551104232015-12-05T19:01:59.921+05:302015-12-05T19:01:59.921+05:30Thanks for the info.

Add to it the holding cost and the pre-EMI which are paid in just launched projects, total cost of ownership post possession changes. The income tax benefit under 80C is also not there during construction stage.<br />As Ravi rightly says, when you buy in under-construction project, you are not a buyer but an investor, partner of builder.<br /><br />http://ravikarandeekarsblog.blogspot.in/2015/10/Bhujbal-Brothers-Vatika-at-Balewadi-Pune-Share-Your-Experience.html<br /><br />http://ravikarandeekarsblog.blogspot.in/2015/10/Delayed-Possession-of-Flat-Stalled-Project-What-can-Pune-property-buyers-do.html<br /><br /><br />As far as Whitefield is concerned, some questions are still unanswered :<br /><br />No penalty on buyer incase of reasonable delay but delay will cause cancellation of agreement. This 'reasonable delay' is vague term. It will be good if we know the exact time, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month etc.<br /><br />Incase of delay of flat possession (assuring physical possession only, not with completion certificate), Rs.10,000 per month compensation to buyers is fine but actually it is hardly 2-3% interest of the amount paid to builder, which is peanuts. It means, incase of delay, builder will pay 2-3% interest.<br /><br />The good thing for buyers though is recently National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) ordered 12% compensation for delay in flat possession to the builder, followed by 18% interest if builder missed the next deadline.<br />This is a very good verdict for flat buyers for any project across the country.<br /><br />http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/gurgaon/Consumer-court-orders-12-compensation-for-flat-delivery-delay/articleshow/47593071.cms<br /><br />Water supply not present, it will be tanker dependent. So even after spending 40-70L, buyer is dependent on water tanker. The 200 ft wide road is also on paper & builder certainly won't refund money with interest if 200 ft wide road doesn't come up. Baner flat buyers are still waiting for tar roads, streetlights -<br /><br />http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/Baner-residents-wait-for-tarred-roads-streetlights/articleshow/46523866.cms<br /><br />Rate protection is unique idea but what if builder takes money from buyer at ongoing rate and give a cheque of discounted amount to buyer and show to everyone that price has not reduced ?<br />When prices will fall, ready for possession flats price at other locations in Pune will also fall. If buyer can afford to buy flat for Rs.X at Sus today, he can afford to buy flat at more developed areas at same Rs.X or less tomorrow after price fall. Good thing is builder himself admitted in video that just like people do black ticketing of movie tickets, builders are doing the same for flats. This again shows prices are artificially kept high.<br />Maybe this is reason builder is putting rate protection clause, which shows that at the back of his mind, builder also knows about impending price fall in real estate market.<br /><br />However, one thing which I must say Ravi is, this builder atleast came out in open and shared his views publicly which is indeed good. Actually, lot of good interaction can take place if builders & buyers use your blog to share views and information, but builders simply don't want to listen & unnecessarily give additional work to already over-burdened cops by filing FIR against you. Frustration at level best due to poor sales. Full name of the organization should be changed to CREDAI FIR PUNE.
