There in one of your post you favour another builder's project over XRBIA, and another girl there questioned you if you are a relative of that builder whom you favoured over XRBIA (the builder is your uncle) I too questioned you the same thing in XRBIA BLOG but a few days later i noticed neither that girls nor mine comments are available in that blog? Do you want me to give you builders name? and could you please clarify why our comments were removed?<br /><br />- Since, I can't reply you on forum, I can only request you to correct your statement. These are your comments and my answers!

I am little confused on how we can trust XRBIA.<br />I found one of my friends, who had booked a flat in Xrbia, being confused on whom to listen. He also questioned the honesty of Xrbia. He learned that Pune Xrbia sales agent sold 1 BHK smart flats as a non-premium flats. Customer were convinced by sales agents that back view is non-premium view, as those flats come at back side and cannot have premium view with one view balcony except corner flats. Looking at a plan, anyone can be convinced that you will see only boundary wall /open vehicle parking from back view.<br />Now after booking, it was surprise for those buyers, as customer executives from Mumbai branch asking for premium value on the flats. How you will react if you are a buyer and made a deal on the booking date by paying (20% amount + Service tax + Vat). At this moment, you have lost the choice of selecting a different flat, if your budget doesn’t allow premium value and that to 230 sq.ft. flat. Another joke was Buyers have received emails with text saying provisional allotment letter, but no attachment of provisional letter. Allotment receipt was sent again in the name of provisional letter. No original hard copy is provided. Buyer has to refer color print-out of PDF document sent through email.<br />If you go through xrbia website FAQ, It is confirmed that booking will be accepted only on payment of 20% amount on booking date. So booking was finalized on the booking date itself by Xrbia sales agents.<br />Learning these cases, I am worried about those customers.<br />Can’t Xrbia exclude the premium amount for them, which may be recovered till date though collective interest of booking amount. Xrbia is claiming that they are selling budget house. Then why the premium amount on back-view flats of 230 sq.ft? <br />What do you suggest Ravi, Can those customer go to consumer court, if Xrbia force them to pay premium amount? These flat owners received allotment receipts. They also have signed doc from Xrbia sales agent, which can prove that they paid the booking amount for the flat on booking date.<br />Many 1 BHK smart buyer of XRBIA may come with this query.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-44243131919902098342012-09-03T21:40:32.934+05:302012-09-03T21:40:32.934+05:30Hi Sandeep,

Both of you, between yourselves, can make few deals. :)<br />India is a nation of savers. whereas USA is a nation of consumers. So India takes a lot of time to deflate a real estate bubble.<br />What intelligent person can do is invest in FD and wait for 10 years. These flats would be available at same price (because of no growth in jobs or stagnation in salary increases or no US visa). You can buy flats at that time.Ajayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313089885409859457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-72915510909491964622012-09-03T17:31:19.379+05:302012-09-03T17:31:19.379+05:30Anushka...valid points

So, they don't really bother even if their projects are not even 50%sold. They can wait and bear the delay (in terms of money). Secondly there has been no project which was not sold 100% after 3 years of its completion...even the worst project of worst builder. Fatty Builders smile happily and feel proud for their last two- three -ready -possession flats being sold at higher prices. They do not fear the recession. I think Ravi will agree upon it. <br /><br />"next logical step would be crash of price bubble in pune which will happen soon due to global recession"....Now the buyers...the real estate investors...These investors have lot of money and due to 2-3 members in a family earning around Rs. 50,000/- per month, they can easily purchase property. Then they proudly say we have recently purchased our third luxurious flat in Pune...so rates and prices do not matter for them..and hence to the builders,too. I pray for you and wish your Bhavishyavani to become reality....But anyway...since real estate business is still flourishing Ravi can write something for us (I like to read his writing) and also earn something for him as a real estate consultant...

1) What are you trying to do? Are yo...Dear Rohit, <br /><br />1) What are you trying to do? Are you trying to prove that I am "biased" about XRBIA? Are you trying to prove that XRBIA is as good as any other project in Pune real estate market? Right? <br /><br />Go ahead! Try your best. <br /><br />Give me an opportunity to prove how "different" XRBIA is from any normal (good or bad) project in Pune real estate market.<br /><br />1) Understand, it's not about the high or low property rate. It's about being honest. <br /><br />2) No project has done any damage to environment like XRBIA. And of course, like Eiffel Olympia. <br /><br />Certainly, not Forest Trails. <br /><br />Please, understand that it's not an emotional issue. It's legal issue. There are laws about construction on hill top & hill slope. Action is taken on those projects which break the law. As a citizen it's your duty to inform the authority when you notice this type of crime. And act against the authorities when they don't take any action. So, please, if you know any, go ahead & take action. Don't justify the crime. Prove that you are educated & responsible citizen.<br /><br />Environment clearance, to protect the environment from real estate development, is a serious test every big project has to pass.<br /><br />3) Yes, I have recommended to consider Tropica and made it clear - why I am doing so though it hasn't received sanctions & approvals. If you learn the difference between the honest & dishonest offers & builders, you will understand the reason.<br /><br />4) Being biased is an individual issue. Crime is impersonal. Social issue. <br /><br />I feel free to express my bias. In fact, as a blogger, being biased about something is my privilege. For example, Tropica. And I feel proud about it.<br /><br />I feel sorry when someone doesn't understand that he has become a victim and try to protect the criminal. I feel sorry for you. <br /> <br /><br /> Ravi Karandeekarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681035021606018101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-37582434377652737872012-09-02T21:45:05.784+05:302012-09-02T21:45:05.784+05:30Dear Ravi,

Many builders near Baner & Bavdhan has also done same.<br />You never wrote any thing against them. Suddenly you have awaken about mother nature at the time of XRBIA. <br />I can't see anything you have written till date about about mother nature except XRBIA.<br />However Still, I support this reason. It's better to be late then Never.<br /><br />3) Not having all necessary sanctions & approvals at this point of time.<br />I strongly support this reason.<br />But, You have sweet spoken about Tropica when they were not having all approvals in place. Why ?? (No Non-sense reason here)<br /><br />These all are nothing but a very good example of being Bias.<br /><br />If the first Criminal is not caught, You should go back & catch him as well. Not only second one or not leave both of them either.<br /><br />It is your biased attitude which is a problem,<br />I still think, You have pure intentions to educate buyers.<br /><br />Take it positively, No one is born perfection.

No interest in actual home buyers who have limited budget.<br /><br />2) Demolition of hill - not having enough buildable land for the special township. Don't forget what happened when <a href="http://www.punemirror.in/index.aspx?page=article&sectid=62&contentid=2010051820100518145142965ee79acd8&sectxslt=" rel="nofollow">Eiffel Olympia</a> did the same thing.<br /><br />3) Not having all necessary sanctions & approvals at this point of time.<br /><br />These 3 reasons are more than enough to cancel. <br />However, I have taken this issue seriously. I am also doing lot of research & investigations. Which I am going to write in coming days. So, please, keep on visiting.

People will take their own call after hearing all people's opinion. In fact, more than 90% of reader base is not interested in buying real estate in pune this year (or even anytime in future). <br /><br />Ravi has pointed out two points : <br />1. sanctions, approvals, legality of project.<br />2. Environmental impact of project.<br /><br />Anybody from Xrbia or reader base can come clear on point 1 by simply giving a website address which mentions about all sanctions XRBIA has received. If XRBIA can mention project approval number of nationalized bank like SBI, then it will put all doubts to rest. Or it can just start making agreement with buyers for apartments. That will be the best thing to get mouth publicity.<br /><br />For point 2, hardly anybody minds cutting down hills or forest for urbanization. This is the only way to go. Instead of letting city prices go sky-high it is better to cut few hills and make space for real estate.<br /><br />As a sidenote, it is irrational to buy a property in Hinjewadi at rate of 3000 Rs/sq.ft. when IT companies have delayed joining of many freshers by a year or more.<br />Ajayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313089885409859457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-30940078327456941752012-09-02T11:32:48.154+05:302012-09-02T11:32:48.154+05:30YEs Ravi and after reading the link you provided a...YEs Ravi and after reading the link you provided above....I came across the company name StudioHigh and the sam ewere the guys from same company bugging me disguised as some random commenters on facebook but all were from same company...see Ravi now i can say you are the boon of modern technology and these guys are bane.....people have to decide smartly....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05413332751493264632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269558537262232516.post-60350717711528148382012-09-02T10:54:44.907+05:302012-09-02T10:54:44.907+05:30I completely agree with Rahul
