Frontier Living Greenfield Developers Pvt Ltd, Bangalore

With change in office location from Manyata to Eco space, I recently moved to Bellandur. The place is a good example of a concrete jungle and moving around in Harlur road is terrible, thanks to the traffic. There started my hunt for my own house, one of my friends suggested to explore villas in Sarjapur. When I started, it was really tough to find a property which will fulfill all the requirements, evaluating the developer was a bigger challenge. Thanks to portals like Magic bricks and 99acres, finding a dream house has become quite easier with these online portals, they really give right information on their sites. Since it is always better to shortlist the projects before you call them, I shortlisted around 5 properties, did my offline checks about them and then visited 2 projects. The first property I visited was on the sarjapur-chikkatirupati road.(Sorry, I don’t want to mention the property name). I found it to be a bit too interior for my liking, the development too I presumed would take a long time as the approach was through a narrow village road. The next stop was Ridgewood, it was evening, but I could easily identify the project because it was on the NH. All three sides were surrounded with villa communities. My trust level developed at Ridgewood as I did not hear them making any tall claims, they just spoke about their project and gave a short presentation on the amenities and Villa plans. More importantly, they are very clear about the delivery schedule.

One thing which was bothering me was that it was on the state border, the next four weeks I visited around 10 projects in the same neighbourhood. Every week I would pass by the Ridgewood gate atleast twice and every time my heart would miss a beat…I finally after almost 2 months of research booked there and my experience till today has been good.

I am a person who likes not to interfere in others life and expect the same from others too, so I decided to buy a villa and hence I selected east bangalore since the locality is developing like anything and there are many new projects coming up. It was a very bad experience for me when I bought a flat in Marathahalli few years back. Because the builders usually don’t reveal the final price when they are selling nor at the time of collecting the down payment. Usually they hide the things to attract us with per sft price. But this time I was totally prepared for this and wanted to take everything in writing after finalising the price. I saw many new players on to the sarjapur-bagalur NH 207 all on the main highway. Not everybody is good, I shortlisted 3 good projects. I had to drop the rest 2 because they were already nearing to completion and the price was to the peak level. Along with me my colleague also invested in the same project and we had a chance to meet their senior management people who are technically sound, they answered all our questions. All I can say is that, we can trust this developer, they are very bold and in fact they shared the exact break-up and how much will it cost me during the possession(slight variation with respect to taxes)

While searching for a villas in Bangalore and around I had some things listed in my mind where I wanted to be there in the villa and locality. As Bangalore is facing a water crisis so my first and foremost concern was to get a villa in a place where there water shortage should not be a concern and yeah the locality where the community Ridgewood is located is a place where there is no water shortage and  most importantly I wanted the locality to be a developing one and where I can expect a good development as if it keeps on developing it would be good for me to fetch a good return tomorrow from investment point of view.

I was shopping for a while now and I came across this project RIDGEWOOD by Frontier Living Greenfield Developers which had all that I wanted. It had all the basics covered like the water, connectivity, Transportation, Greenery and in addition to that had all the state of art technology like Pressure water pump supply, STP and other unique ones like Hoffice, conference facility to name a few. I had a month long interaction with them in detail and finally booked with them after verifying all the credentials(as much as possible). Looks professionally managed and had a vision and detail plan for everything. on top of all this my family loved the contemporary villa design and the front look of the house.

I have booked in 2nd phase and was happy to see the site work progress so far. I was unlucky to have missed the phase I when the price was much cheaper. The price I found was very competitive in that locality after my research.

Good Luck

Phase -1: To Trap YOU with selling villa

• Marketing people will ask to pay the advance and in-turn you will get the receipt.

• Immediately you will not get the agreement signed as it needs to be drafted.

• Later you will get the site agreement, you would just glance the agreement and keep it aside safe along with the receipt(s) OR you would not agree with the terms

• But you be convinced by the Builder on the agreement that wait for just 1week after that it will be  signed

• Again when you glance on the approval plan you will get to know that you have booked the UN APPROVED. OR you know that it is unreleased site and builder will promise for getting it APPROVED within 2 months from DTCP

• Builder  will push you to sign the agreement stating that it will take some more time as the price offered is in a pre-launch period.

• You would approach your legal advisor for legal clearance in Bangalore but the builder will approach you to talk to His lawyer in Hosur here were you get trapped and get convinced.

• After signing the agreement, when you approach for Khatha(Patta)  transfer you get to know that Patta will not be done for unreleased site or Unless project is developed.

• Land cost for the project is not more than 750/- Sft this guys charge 1500/sft and make us fools.

Phase-2: No development / progress

Then is where you will realize and approach the builder for understanding more.

• When you refer back your agreement copy you will realize that the agreement would only talk behalf of the builder not towards the buyer.

• You will start to understand the agreement and problem hence forth

• Seller would have MOU to  formalize the land as per DTCP norms but failure to complete even after 3years with basic amenities

• You would have ignored the MOU or forgot the stipulated date mentioned on the MOU

• None of the nationalised bank from Bangalore would give approvals on this project.

• Builder will assure project Aprroved by ICICI, HDFC & Axis Bank

• Builder would delay further more on project development blaming New Govt is under formation would take few more months for getting the project approval.

Phase-3: Disowning entire project & make YOU look like a FOOL

You would have been in big pit already by investing huge money for your dream home

• When you contact the Builder, ask for refunding the booking amount 20% that you paid for.

• Builder would ask for 15% cancellation fees of 20% what has been paid.

•

Summary:

So its triangular love series and now you would have understood the whole importance of the agreement and how you would have been cheated.

• You would realize that when you signed the agreement sent by you in mail & signing the Hard Copy.

• Builder  has only phone contact and no personal address to reach, on asking he will go wild and conversation heat picks up.

• All Two Directors are ready to manhandle you and also tells you to lodge the court case, will respond thru court and do whatever you want. Do not come here again.

My part of story to complete this blog:

• I have booked here in March 2014, having agreement signed by Two  mentioned Praveen Kumar and Vijay Kumar They said within 2 months DTCP Approval  will be in release mode but you can book, so booked it. Till now its not released and they are promising ROAD WORK, SITE MARKING, BASIC INFRA WOULD BE READY BY JAN 2015 when asked they say  meetings with DTCP under discussion will take some more time. I had talk with the Builder  and they are demanding another 20% amount(total of 40%) as they are in less fund to develop or they are ready to refund. I got to know that since the price have gone higher they have strategy to take back and sell at current price.But this location price doesn’t appreciate nor appreciated as per my survey this is Border of TN nor you find any growth just for living.

• When we approached and asked for refund as we are no more interested, they have started new stories on each day/week/month by stating agreement is expired and we are not liable. It’s being similar stories repeated from past 6-8 months.

• Imagine/Think about your hard earned money, dream house you want to construct and such a terrible experience you have to go thru.

• Beware of these/such fraud peoples and share this link so that others are safe they would promise Handing over the villa 2015 later 2016 now they would say 2017 which would never happen.

They value their customer's time and money. Both their staff and management are very responsive and solve the problems quickly

I have worked closely with them on a project in Coimbatore. They are a great team of professionals who puts customer's needs above everything else.

They are currently working on an ambitious project called Ridgewood Villas. The gated community is coming up nicely and the construction is fast paced.

Frontier Living is known for completing the big projects on time. A friend of mine in Coimbatore got the possession of his property on time and he recommended this developer to me.

Awesome project by frontier living in sarjapur with good amount of open space. Good place to purchase villa which has all the amenities.

Ample space for everything with excellent quality standards. Large villas, lots of greenery and has all other amenities.

Wonderful living space created by Frontier Living. Great level of professionalism in handling clients. Surely going to be a great investment.

Awesome property to make an investment. Good location. Coming up really well. Loved the Villas. They provided the drop service after the site visit. Highly customer centric services

Their CRM team is very efficient and supportive. I can see why they are being recognized a lot recently.
