Below is true story. My am not using my real identity since I have heard Builders do not like negative reviews, and I've heard instances where the builder "calls" the customer and "insists" on editing the review.
So, here goes.
Pros:
1: The price is usually lesser than average prices in the area.(But is it worth it? You decide based rest of this review)
2: The core structure, masonry, etc is very good. So Building would be strong. No doubt. So may be good as an investment. But, would a good structure make a good place to LIVE in?
3: Will not illegally alter the main structure. This may be his only good quality.
Cons:
1: Timeliness: The builder will delay the project by at least 1.5 years. So never buy an under construction project from him.
2: You can easily add 1.5 to 2 years to the so called completion date he gives you during booking.
3: Initially he will assure you that you will be paid the "rent" for the delayed months. But, when you actually ask for the rent, they will literally ridicule you, outright laugh at you, etc. So you can forget about that rent.
4: About 1 year delay, and usually 10k delay compensation rent mentioned in agreement, means on an average 1 Lakh loss to customers who book while under construction.
5: Electrical work is of bad quality. The wires used may be of average quality, but the electricians are unprofessional goons. There have been countless incidents of fire, wires burning, appliances going poof, etc across the newly built Amrutha Heights appt.
6: Water arrangement is a lie. Initially they said they are working for Cauvery water. Later they say only provision, and we customers have to take care of actually getting the water ourselves.
7: Parking allotment is a joke: People who buy 2nd parking lot, get to choose whichever parking lot they like. Rest of the customers get random parking lots. And, almost all parking lots are smaller than standard.
8: The employees, like supervisors, electricians, etc shamelessly ask for money from you for no reason!
9: AMENITIES: Another joke. More than half of the promised amenities are not delivered. And they laugh at you when you bring it up. They have taken 2 lakhs in the name of amenities, and we only got DG, a pool table and a TT table, a swimming pool, and a gym in which few things are already broken.
10: The genius plmbers of Amrutha Shelters once mixed STP water with our overhead water supply! This is believed to have caused health issues to many residents.
These are just few of the problems residents face, the entire list is much longer
Verdict:
Only buy from Amrutha Shelters if you are looking for an investment, since the prices are low, and the locations are usually good. But These guys do not make your life easy once you move in. So stay away if you plan to move in into your home. Life would be hell in the first few months, and doesn't really get much better later on. You only get used to the things like garbage everywhere, stray dogs here and there, dirty and stinky elevators, non-existent bike parking, uncompleted ground floor works, etc.
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
