Hi there,

Now a day’s lot of real estate frauds are happening everywhere in Chennai. Lots of things need to be considered when you buy a house (life time achievement). Builders are making money from us and they are selling 100s of 1000s houses, multiple projects etc. But for us, we are working hard for just one home.

I would like to open this thread to let everyone knows about your experience particularly bad experience, so that your experience would be a lesson to everyone. I would like your support in identifying immoral builders as well to keep them away.

I am having very bad experience with the Chennai based builder and its going for more than 2.5 years now that will be posted soon in details..

Thanks a lot
Subra

I was evaluating a 1400 sq ft flat in Vadapalani, opposite to AVM studios. The builder asked for 10,000 Rs deposit to give me all documents. My lawyer told me that the building has significant deviation. According to CMDA approvals received, the builder can build only 4000 sq ft of built up area but this builder has built around 8000 sq ft.

When I went back, he returned the money after much gyan on how common deviations are in Chennai, I am losing out on property etc etc..

A good example of a fly by night promoter looking to make quick money.

The promoter's office/house is in Shenoy Nagar.

Please dont do this mistake of Giving money and take the paper. Now its your time. Builders are in trouble. If they wanna sell let them give the paper. Max you can give the money to make a XEROX copy.

I did the same mistake 2 yrs Back and it took 1 yr to get the money back.
So please avoid this situation.

Thanks,
Arindam

Property Fraud is a topic which is beyond the scope of a FORUM or BLOG and especially in a city like Chennai, with so muh of corruption and Politics, you may just feel like being exploited.

I bought a duplex house in Chennai of 1500 sft. The promoter was selling the same model Duplex house as 1700 after some months and after a few months the same was further marketed as 1850! When I asked the builder how it is marketed at higher sft area he explained to me that he is now adding overhead tank surface as built up area and later added the underground sump also to the built up area etc., He tried to explain that he gave me lesser sft for calculation of price for the same house! Is there no government control over such practices which takes away the hard earned money of middle class individuals? Is it not a criminal offence? Which buyer cares to measure the carpet area and plinth area? What the government is doing to protect public interest? There should be government regulation that builder should handover the calculation method to each buyer and that should have been approved by CMDA etc. Can anyone take it up with CMDA/ government in the public interest?
