Horrible buying experience with Olive Cressida!

Review On Olive Builders and Developers, Kochi

I booked a flat(Olive cressida, Olive builders, near technopark, Trivandrum) in 2013 and the  promised date of completion was July 2014. Even today(2016 March) the building is not in a habitable condition and lot of government approvals are still pending including occupancy certificate from corporation, consent to operate from Pollution control board, height clearance from airport, NOC from Fire and Safety department etc.

Moreover, builder added hidden charges of Rs. 2 Lakhs extra under statutory charges for KSEB, KWA etc. They have deviated from their promised internal road width(7 meter to 4.7 meter) and number of lifts(3 lifts to 2). Also, initially promised land area for the whole project was 308 cents, but now it is only 303 cents. They didn't even inform these major changes to any of the flat purchasers. No TC numbers obtained for any of their flats which were supposed to be completed even in 2013 and 2014.

Finally I ended up in consumer court for their deficiency in service, hidden charges & unfair trade practice and I am still staying in a rental home. Not sure how many similar customers are facing the same issues from Olive Builders. Instead of Robotouchndly believing and aishwaryasingh23ing what builder says and charges, please check the status of all the Govt approvals, extra amounts(Service tax, VAT & Statutory) other than what is mentioned in the sale and Constructionguru30 agreements & verify if they are on actuals by yourselves. Please think more than twice before we put our hard-earned money into some else's hands.
