Manipulation by Oberoi Realty Ltd? ........Oberoi Exquisite and Esquire Goregaon E Project7 April 2012 00:44
Dear All,
I spoke to Smitha Patel (RM) and Rochelle Chatterjee (Head Sales) from Oberoi Realty. They told me that some flat owners of Esquire are okay with the revised plans since they booked as matter of investment. I WOULD URGE ALL ESQUIRE AND EXQUISITE FLATOWNERS REGARDLESS OF END USE OF YOUR FLAT TO REVOLT AGAINST THIS UNACCEPTABLE CHANGE OF PLANS. Below are the negatives that the letter does not delineate.
1. The usable area has considerably reduced. My 4 BHK usable area was meant to be 2361 sq ft and carpet area was to be 1753 sq ft. While revised plans show higher carpet area of 1956 sq ft, the usable area is same as carpet area, thus loss of 405 sq ft.
2. Balconies with ledges and railing add to the beauty of the flat. Removing balconies is absolutely WRONG. The BMC regualtion states builders need to pay premium in case they build balconies. Well, Oberoi is planning on giving us balconies anymore so what premium are they paying to BMC. We want to know how exactly have their costs risen which they state they are absorbing.
3. Instead of reducing number of floors or reducing number of flats or reducing the landscape area, they have gone the extreme way by reducing our usable area. This is just not acceptable.
I would request all flatowners to write to Oberois requesting immediate change such that usable area promised is given to us, otherwise, request a full refund and forfeit your flat. Give them a WARNING! (They should ideally reduce prices if usable area is being reduced).Please also mention you flat number, name and contact in this forum for me to be in touch with you and form a group to take necessary action.
