Hi Malvank, me too waiting for the continuation of your last post.

Malvank, thank you very much for highlighting the positive points. I request you to please post your other view as well.

Lodhas are saying that the rate they are advertising (Rs. 2223/-) is only for the 1 bhk units and rates for the other (2 bhk/ 3 bhk etc) are different are with premiums.
Is this true???
Was it the same at the time of launching of original casa bella? (i mean 1998 for 1 bhk base rate and higher rates for 2 bhk 3 bhk flats?)

please advise.

please let me know which is the best option for 1 bhk flat, either lodha casa bella in dombivali or a similar priced property (though not as luxurious as loadha) at Kalyan or Kamothe?

please guide.

Guys the sooner the better - we are seeing a few conflicting statements here and need some clarifications and the best way would be an united front to address these.

Having booked a flat in casa bella gold, I am following this link with interest. Here are some of the points that I would like to clarify for the sake of other users.

1) Ppl who are saying that they had got only permission to construct up to the 8th floor in the first phase of the casa bella project is TRUE. But it is true for any project as the permission to construct higher stories comes in stages and not at one go. Thus Casa bella project has now got all approvals, and Casa bella gold is now in the same state (permission till 8th floor only, but in due course all the floors permission should be available)

The Builder however is NOT looking to cheat on this aspect, as according to them, the ppl who are opting for higher storey buildings in casa bella gold project are being asked to be prepared for getting only 40% of the agreement value as loan. Rest you have to arrange cash (except parking everything else will be in agreement though)

Now for my risk factors.....(Please get some information on this for the help of other users as well)

1) I enquired in LIC housing for loans, and they are saying that this project has not yet been approved (by LIC for loans), but the ppl at the site were saying otherwise.

2) The LIC agent has told me that their Thane project (which one I don't know !) which was to take off 6 months ago has not yet taken off. Although they have got the approval for that project but LIC disburses loans only after the construction work has commenced. So even if you have got your loan approved, it automatically lapses if the construction work does not begin in three months. Where does that put CASA bella gold in LODHA's list of construction schedule priorities?

So now I wonder, with so many LODHA projects running, how will they arrange for manpower for their site work and all? Also will they keep their promised dates?

I am not cancelling my flat as of now for the following reasons

1) Good reputation of builder
2) In their project in Dahisar LODHA AQUA their first phase is about to be completed, (only construction, landscaping is still left)

Any further insight will be appreciated.

this forum is good but unnecessarily too over-moderated.

takes too long for a message to get posted.

moderators, wake up or close the forum!

I have got a letter from Lodha asking to submit the registration and stamp duty amount by demand draft for the flat 2BHK I have purchased (8 storey bldg). My question is - this is the closing cost which one has to pay while taking the possession so why now ?. I am not very familiar with the legal terms but yet I have not got the agreement for sale and they are asking for the registration and stamp duty. This is to be paid to the govt so probably legally this should be the correct process. The registration will be done at Dombivili sub-registrar office and not Thane.

Unless one gets the AFS, one can't get the loan from the bank. Till now I have got only allotment letter and now above demand as above.

Has anyone idea about the process ? My banker is asking for the AFS, Blue print and map and NOC from bldr to process the loan application. Also the banker is ready to include the stamp duty and registration cost in the final loan amount. But since I have not taken the loan so far, but paying the registration and stamp duty from my pocket, can I ask the bank to pay me this once my loan application will be considered ?

Whoever knows it, pls guide.

Thnx
