Summary
Jul 08, 2009 03:17 AM Read

I was one of those who bought in to the Brigade Gateway project when everything was still on paper. This will by far be the best place to live/work/shop in If the project is completed like it was described on those glossy marketing material that Brigade.

Things started to sour when Brigade missed on it's time lines and trust me this is an understatement. We all know there are a lot of unknowns in a big project like this but the way Brigade handled these situations was/is totally unprofessional and full of lies. The least they could have done is to be forthright with it's customers but you have to ask what were they thinking; that they are selling realty worth 100's of lakhs to drooling, thumb-sucking kids!?

Think of a case of an acquaintance who commits to meeting you at a certain time/place and strolls in an hour or two late and blames all the people in the world except himself. This is the relationship that Brigade has cultivated with it's customers. There is a total disregard for commitments; in the past 2 years there have been at least 4 times when they have promised to handover at a certain time and have failed miserably. These people are living a lie.

My suggestion for would-be owners here is to wait it out until the end of the project and then see how things are because as of now no one including Brigade itself has any clue when the project will be complete or if you want to jump in now be prepared for a long haul. I know I have been in it for almost 4 years now!

As you can see that I have intentionally not named names. This post is not about bashing a individuals who are like lambs but the company and the unethical person running it from the top.

We booked in Feb 08, and were promised delivery by Sep-08. This shifted to Dec-08, then Mar-09 and most recently Sep-09. Any guesses what the next letter will say? Monthly'progress' reports you get regularly talk in generalities that don't apply to your flat, but more importantly cannot be relied upon to be a truthful representation.

There is a google group(google search BGHOA if you need more details) formed to share and collectively represent our issues and approach the management with our concerns. While we have made some progress(example: a more real project progress report with real milestones that we can actually understand. And even these milestones have slipped by 3 months in the last 3 months!). The "Management'(and these are senior folks) we meet with stonewalls, lies freely and openly to your face, stalls and has no issues not living up to its words.

Multiple issues exist on the common areas, including basic issues like water provisioning, lack of open areas for children(the playground advertised in all brochures is suddenly for'school students only' - purely False Advertising in my assessment), no common areas in flats for residents, an underplanned "clubhouse".the list goes on.

Don't believe just me - talk to the 200+ members in the BGHOA Google group. Misery loves company, you see! If this is what one has to'upgrade' to, I shudder to think what the'economy' class Real Estate company would have been!

The jist of my review is - Dont ever go anywhere near Brigade or any of its projects if you want peace of mind. Let me explain. It all started in 2004 and I am still suffering. Yeah 2004 and its not a typo. They took the first installment for a would be apartment complex and township. The claimed completion date those days was somewhere around 2006.

And now it is 2009 July, and am still not sure about when I can actually occupy my apartment. And even if I do, am not sure of drinking water supply, gas connection, dust free living. They have used every trick possible to cheat, lie and knowingly mislead people about deadlines. Not only that, they impose interest on late payments even if it is a delay of couple of weeks.

And they refuse to acknowledge their delay and compensate for a good 6 months citing unavailability of labor, cement and natural calamity(torrential rains). Their agreement clauses are so goddamn one-sided that you are actually helpless with a delay of 2 years. After all this pain, I have finally decided to take them to consumer court. Will update this review on the outcome. Please stay away from their projects. Dont ever recommend them to any one you know. Please spread the word about this.

Wow! At first you would be impressed with the grand entrance, lush green landscape garden (under construction), fountains, and the friendly Brigade team (all women team- Ms Indrani, Ms Manisha Deb, Ms Bindu, etc) at Brigade Metropolis. Welcome! UPGRADE TO BRIGADE. As you enter the apartment you would not fail to notice the rooms have a beautiful view of the lush greens.

What you will fail to notice is that rooms are a direct import from Tokyo – you can hardly fit in a queen size bed in these. As you enter the bathroom, you would thank god that you are not taller than 6 feet else you would have hit the ceiling of these compact bathrooms. You would also thank your stars that you are not fat like American; else you might not have fitted into one.

The wash basin is the highlight of two bedroom apartment. It is beautifully made in black granite and white ceramic and reminds you of your village home/ farm house. It location is so critical that you can see your loved one brushing from kitchen, dining room and both the rooms. So Brigade truly believes in ‘Cleanliness is next to godliness’. So now everyone in your family will know the secret of your dental hygiene. The next thing you should ignore to look are the floors, else they remind you of your office canteen. Yes, they are made from the same non-vitrified, non-branded tiles.

And finishing is as good as the office canteen floor. So is there anything good about Metropolis? The Kitchen…. It is huge compare to the size of apartment, specially the three bedroom apartments. You begun to wonder if Brigade has planned the house in such a way that women should stay in kitchen and men in bedroom. But if big kitchen means good food; I promise you would get the best of food at Brigade Metropolis. Only if my spouse knew how to cook! What else is bigger in Brigade Metropolis? Yes the price you pay for the house. It’s huge! Beside the normal price there are so many additional things you pay. Name anything, it is additional and you pay extra. So if they say the house is of Rs. 60 lacs/- you must atleast have Rs 75 lacs as this will be the price you pay. So what is not big?

The house! The carpet area is approximate 70%. Now you know where your 30% of the house went. Yes, landscape garden, club, office and shops, etc. Who needs a big house when you have all these? Right! So when marketing team tells you that only few are left and you should grab them immediately! You should appreciate the fact that Brigade Metropolis is in making for last 5 years (booking started in year 2004) and it is another 2 years away from completion. So I am sure they would have sold upto 70% of the project by now. Last but not the least, is the marketing team. They have super human ability to disappear. Once they have done a favor of selling you the house. They disappear. Busy…..Busy…. trying to sell one apartment at a time. And there are as many as 1600 of them. So these wonder women become so exclusive that you would do anything to meet them, so as to ask them the only question you would have in your mind. Mera befook kyu banaya ?

Brigade is very good in marketing. But their projects are delayed to a great extent. If you have lot of money and willing to wait for 2-3 years for construction. Go for it. Otherwise, they are pain. The management keeps changing their promises each time and will not reveal their plans to the customers. Customers are taken for a ride and my experience with them has taught me that one should not just go by brand name.Please think twice before investing with these people. They talk to you very well before you decide and will never talk to you later.They give false reports on status of construction, collect lot of money before hand and finally the customer has to end up paying huge EMI's without posession of flat. I talk of Brigade Gateway properties at Malleswaram, Bangalore

The amount of money they charge is staggering for a small match box like apartment. They will ask all money promptly but delivery of flat is not guaranteed. They pay a paltry penalty amount of 4 rs / sqft to customers. And they claim ISO certifications!

This is my experience with Brigade group and their Brigade Metropolis project Bangalore. Brigade Metropolis apartments are not worth the money they charge. They dont even give Vitrified tiles! And they charge 1.5 - 2laks for their club membership which is mandatory! Buying a flat for 50 lac+ and you dont even get a free access to your club house inside your compound! Compare with other similar projects and you will find the difference.

Also I had to cancel a flat which I just'blocked'(not booked) for which they charged me the cancellation charges including the VAT paid to government(came up to 70 K). When asked about that they said they put the flat on hold for 25 days. They admitted that my flat has been sold for Rs.100 /sq.ft more after I had canceled it. They did not even care for my written request. And that marketing team sucks! They put you under tremendous pressure to buy the flat or else say the desired flat will not be available.blah.blah! And the way they increase their prices every month is faster than the speed of an express train! Metropolis surroundings area is all slum! Please compare the project with other projects before you buy from Brigade! One more money looter in Bangalore!
