"Don't buy Palava City flats from Square Yards & Lodha, you will lose Rs 21 lakhs", warns Dubai NRI

[@solomondavid1371]

You're a brave woman. When people make mistake they try to hide it because it will make them look like a fool. Even if you see the comment section, majority here are saying it's your fault, you should have done due diligence etc etc. But mam, you're brave to open up your mistake and made others aware without the fear of being laughed at. You're brave. I can only pray things get better soon.

Bought Aurelia E wing flat 204 at 60+ lakhs in 2019 now the value of my flat is 48 lakhs maximum. I am getting a rent of 8000 INR per month where else the maintenance is 2400 INR so imagine investment of 60 lakhs giving me a return of 6k INR per month. Worst part is the demo or sample flat they showed me was so amazing but what they give me was not even 50% of which they had promised. Trust me don’t fall for Lodha any projects mark my words they are the biggest scammer of all time.

[@siddhesh3000]

You are absolutely correct

[@At_sk]

Bro you should have just bought some flats in Mumbra if you wanted to earn through rents. You could have bought 3 to 4 homes for that much and earn 8k to 9k rent from each of them. And there's better connectivity. If you wanted to live there and have some good std life that you could not have in Mumbra, then it was understandable.

Completely right. Same problem we are facing. The Lodha people have shamelessly cheated everyone. Our purchase of 65L is now 45L. It's a joke. The rent is 8k and maintenance is over 4-5k. To top it now CITY GOVERNANCE COST has imposed it self on us. Which will be an added burden. Do not ever invest with Lodha/Palava.

The entire city / nation / state / Republic of Dupe City has issues - its a cluster of buildings but its really not as convenient as showcased, also its municipality limits will create civic hurdles for anyone purchasing a place here, even at 42 lac the price is steep.

Lodha splendoura gb road Thane West. Quoting price 1.40cr in 2017. Now 95 lacs. Just bcoz there is multireligious cemetery passes by TMC behind it. Area is full of traffic. No water supply from TMC. Society has to arrange water tank from outside. This big builders buy lands near such controversial area as they get at cheaper rates. But they sale at higher rates. For e.g Lodha new cuff parade....it is opposite to rcf...highly polluted gas at night. Lodha upper thane...full polluted gas of bhiwandi factories at night, lodha Vikhroli...full dumping ground smell, lodha palava...heavy electric poles in cities... government gives subsidy of 30% of u purchase land nearby it..( see runwal green nahur west). Lodha splendora ...4-6acres multireligious cemetery behind it. Lodha twin tower mulund new launch is very close to cemetery that's y tata housing prime project failed to deliver which was about to complete in 2014. Buyers please be aware.🙏

[@archstand]

Could you let me know how did the Market value of the flat depreciate from Rs. 52 lakhs to rs. 45 lakhs

[@rutvik23]

I totally agree the Square Yards and sleazy sales agents literally stalk NRIs non stop for years, if they somehow get your phone number. They collect numbers from property fairs if you casually visit there by mistake.

Those who purchased 60 lakh 2 bhk flats, current price is 45 lakh. Rent is 13k and maintenance 2400+4000 (which lodha pcma is asking)+ property tax. Worst investment for anyone. Prices won't increase for next 5 years at least because huge supply and less demand

[@sanjaytalreja8452]

I find Casa Bella Gold as the best out of all Palava options. It has relatively spacious houses, is just next to Xperia mall and Balcony flats are available. You can reach out to main road by walking. I have never been in favor of other projects like Down town and LSG and even Casa Rio per se. So as an investor or resident you have to do little research on your own as well. I know generally Palava attracts harsh reviews but my experience in Casa Bella Gold has been good so far. Not sure about other places.

[@iamyogeshbhagat]

Perfect research, As of 2013 CBG is best, but wait once mumbai metro line 14 starts , rates will boom boom.

Similar experience with Squareyards. Never buy from such “channel partners” who sell at 20% premium. They act like consultants, talk about helping you to develop a “portfolio”. Price on the website is like MRP. Real price could be much lower. Very bad experience!! Once the advance is paid, they take commission and vanish from the scene.

But who don't have their own single home that families are happy here bcoz they can't afford this kind of big homes and facilities in this price in the Mumbai high-profile area. In the last investors and lodha both are looking for business and profit. Middle class families are happy here ☺️

[@narendra47]

Even though I agree with you, even for end users I don't think it's a good situation if you are buying a house at 63 lakhs and you can't sell it atleast same price (if such situation arises). For investors it's not a good option in first place , why would you spend such amount on Palava city, I think 1 RK or 1 bhk in Thane would have been a better option. In Palava, they will be always launching new projects and builder will try to sell their apartments not investors. They have huge Land parcel .
