Want a 3 BHK Flat at Wakad, Pune 411057?

How about 1,066 to 1,077 sq.ft. Carpet with Attached Terrace of 193 to 265 sq.ft. 3 BHK Flat in the A Building of Rohan Tarang for Rs. 73 to Rs. 76 Lakhs?

I don't know 'why?' - but, this weekend - Rohan Builders (www.rohanbuilders.com) opened bookings of 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats in the A Building of 5.5 Acre Rohan Tarang, located near Hinjewadi Flyover on Mumbai Bangalore Bypass at Wakad, Pune 411 057.

The construction of A Building is 90 per cent complete. It's possession is in 6 months - March 2012. I liked the 3 BHK Flats in Rohan Tarang Wakad. But, I have a few questions...

What would have happened if
Rohan Builders Hadn't Opened Booking of A Building in Rohan Tarang Wakad
at This Stage?:

Rohan Tarang Wakad, Pune 411 057 - Under construction building is the A Building, of which, booking is now open

If the possession of these 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats is really possible in March 2013, then Rohan Builders should have sold these 59 Flats after 6 months as 'ready for possession flats with an occupation certificate from Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation'.

1) In March 2012, offers like "No Service Tax" - "Save 2.57 per cent Property Price" would have made Rohan Tarang Wakad very attractive!

2) Selling 'Ready for Possession Flats in Rohan Tarang' would have proved that at least one builder in Pune doesn't need property buyers' money to construct at least one building!

3) If Rohan Builders had sold 'Ready Possession Flats' it would have saved the skin of other builders in Wakad. The supply would have been less and these builders in Wakad would have held the 'inventory'. Result is, these builders would not have reduced the property prices of 3 BHK Flats - on their own!

4) Sentiments of the property buyers in Wakad would have been positive and no property buyer would have told me, "Ravi, you know what? If they realize that you are a serious buyer, all builders in Wakad reduce the property price of a 3 BHK Flat on their own - without any negotiations!"

You know? For me, it's painful to hear property buyers talking something like this. Poor fellows, don't understand that all current property prices are 'fake'. And, by reducing 3 - 4 Lakhs these property prices don't become genuine!

What Would Have Happened If
Rohan Builders Would Have Sold A Building of Rohan Tarang Wakad,
at Ready for Possession Stage:

Rohan Tarang Wakad Pune - Connecting Passages - Proportionate Common Areas Added to Each Flat on a Floor

Rohan Tarang Wakad Pune - "Proportionate Common Area Added to Each Flat"

If Rohan Builders had not opened booking of A Building of Rohan Tarang, i would not have become one of the witnesses to the disgraceful incident at the site office, last Sunday evening.

Insulting Rohan Builders, who follow the law of selling property on the carpet area and maintain transparency by giving the detailed area statement, one property buyer started arguing about the "Proportionate Common Area" added to each flat.

First, the over smart property buyer asked for the "Saleable Area" - which, as per the law, was not given in the area statement.

Then he asked for the property rates based on the saleable area!

"Rs. 4,000 per sq.ft. for 1st to 4th floors and Rs. 4,100 for 5th to 10th floors," the salesperson said.

Expressing happiness about the property rates at Rohan Tarang, the over smart property buyer started reading the area statement. Next moment, he did some calculations on his mobile, became angry and started arguing about paying Rs. 8,16,000 (215 sq.ft. x 4,000 per sq.ft. on saleable area) for the 'Proportionate Common Area' added to his flat!

Refusing to pay for the proportionate common area added to his flat, he started negotiating the property price.

"At Rohan Builders property prices are fixed - not negotiable!," the salesperson said.

"Prove that it costs Rs. 45,72,000 to construct the narrow connecting passage on a floor!, " the over smart property buyer challenged the salesperson.

"I will not confirm my booking till I am convinced about Rs. 45,72,000 you are collecting from 5 flats as "Proportionate Common Area"," declared the over smart property buyer.

I was about to butt in and tell the over smart property buyer to stop insulting the builder who is so kind and caring about you.

If, as per the law, if the builder has given only the carpet area of your flat - 1,066 sq.ft. - and not the other areas - terrace, built up, and proportionate common area - and just asked for Rs. 73 Lakhs - you would have realized that you are nothing but a fool who is ready to pay the property rate of Rs. 6,848 per sq.ft. of the carpet area!

This builder is exposing himself only to protect you from insulting yourself.

The builder is sacrificing his privacy so that you should not lose your dignity. In your own eyes and in society. So, please, stop arguing!

Understand the builder's intentions - and not the numbers!

But, he got up and left the office in a hurry.

Looking at him, i thought that, like most of the builders in Pune, it would have been better if Rohan Builders had not given the proportionate common areas separately in the area statement.

Instead, if Rohan Builders had given only the carpet area, terrace and saleable area, all 'over smart property buyers' in Pune, would have been happy to boast that they have invested Rs. 73 Lakhs in 1632 sq.ft. 3 BHK Flat!

The truth that they have paid 73 Lakhs for 1066 sq.ft. carpet area - would have remained a secret!

Like the other things happening in the home, the truth about the size of the flat - would not have become public. In the true sense, then Rohan Tarang Wakad would have been described as "What goes on in your home stays in your home!"

What i liked about a 3 BHK Flat in Rohan Tarang Wakad, Pune 411 057:

"I know it's almost 7 pm! I will finish in 3 minutes!! How was the response?," feeling sorry for Mr. Suresh Nair, Sales Manager of Rohan Tarang, I said.

"Huge! As all Rohan Projects get!! More than 80 property buyers visited the site in 2 days - Saturday & Sunday," Mr. Nair said.

"Bookings?," i asked.

"Good! A few have promised to confirm in the next couple of days!," Mr. Nair said.

"Good! In these days, for your ticket size, you can't expect instant booking - but - for sure - this will go fast!," i said.

"Good to know that you are 'positive'! Can i know 'why'," Mr. Nayar asked.

"Your offer may not be the best one - but - certainly it's worth considering!," i said.
"It's the best in Wakad! I will tell you why...," Mr. Nair explained:
1) Possession of the 1st phase given and most of the flats are occupied
2) Society is formed
3) All amenities are operational and in use
4) Professional maintenance
5) 90 per cent construction (of A Building) complete - means early possession - means, you can save EMI - very important - interest rates are going up
6) Plans are, certainly, good - spacious
7) Property rate 4,000 & 4,100 is competitive
8) Add to this the brand power of Rohan!

I completely agree with Mr. Nayar!

However, I liked a 3 BHK Flat more than a 2 BHK (840 to 845 sq.ft. Carpet with Attached terrace of 183 to 297 sq.ft. for Rs. 58 to Rs. 62 Lakhs)!

What say you? Isn't a 3 BHK in 73 - 76 lakhs in Rohan Tarang Wakad - worth considering? Even better than some offers in Baner? Share your views in the comments, please!
