DLF Maiden Heights – Concerns
- Located in an industrial stretch between Bommansandra and Jigani Industrial Area
- Distance from Hosur Road is more than 5 km, price appreciation of projects near Hosur road has not been much
- Land rates are lower in the surroundings and projects like Pride Vatika or Nadanavana, RK Layout etc are alternate options

Does anyone know about the construction updates for Maiden Heights?
On DLF site,the had this “Construction Updates” link:
http://dlf.in/dlf/wcm/connect/Residential/homes/residential/projects/premium+homes/maiden+heights,+bengaluru/overview+-+maiden+heights,+bengaluru
Doesn’t show now.
And the DLF folks has raised a demand letter. Just wanted to check the construction udpates before I send out the cheque to them.
The builders will show all the pics till 95% of the money is taken from the customers.
After that, the project goes nowhere.
Look at Westend Heights… The cusotmers have paid 95% of the total amont and the project is nowhere near to completion. Above that, the builder is not worried at all and is diverting all the workforce to Maiden Heights. to extract as much money as possible.
So they have really jacked up the prices to Rs. 3650 psf??
Some websites showing Rs. 3300 psf and some Rs. 3650 psf! What’s the real picture??
Well I’m not sure about the real price as I have booked @ 3300/- though I had a special consideration as by brother had booked 2 months back so they offered me his price. Well they said that its 33650/-
When have you booked?
I have booked it on 6th MAY 2013
Hi All,
Anand Patel have created a group on facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/108370169337979/
All the buyers or prospective buyers can join this group, good forum to get the latest updates, photographs of the site.
I am also a owner of 3 BHK flat in Woodland heights, and I am the active member of this group. Request you all to please join this group.
Thanks,
Mukesh Singh
Congrats all.
Got the mail today regarding the completion of the 1st floor slab (block A). So the project is well on time, rather ahead.
But the demand note with this 1st floor slab is along with a condition of 8 months after booking or 1st floor’s slab whichever is later. So if i understand correctly then the payment has to be after 8 months only, right? There are still 2 months left. As it has been only 6 months since i had booked my flat. Please comment.
Also i am happy with the way they have come up with the township idea of DLF Mytown. This way i think it’ll gain more publicity and thus will help in appreciation of the property faster. Your views? Please comment.
Regards
Guys, how is it construction progressing ? Any new updates? How is Woodland heights as an investment ?
mailto:
join this group quite usefull for owners
plz add
Kindly add
Hi,
I am going to book a flat with them in Woodland Heights. But, they are not willing to provide their approval papers for legal opinion. They are saying that they will provide it only at the time of registration.
1 Is there something wrong with their legal papers?
2 Also, is there a condition preventing us from selling the flat after 1 year(i read about this on some online forum)?
3 Is the conditions in the agreement with the builder too one sided(read this on this forum)?
4 Are they providing the undivided share of land?
5 They have approval from Anekal Planning Authority. Is it the same as BMRDA approval?
Thanks a lot in advance and appreciate your help.
Regards,
Gaurav
Dear Gaurav
1. I will be surprised if they ever give you legal papers. Their approved bankers will have them without which they won’t give loan
2. Yes. DLF allows resale after one year – pl check up again with them. Normally they expect the buyer to pay Rs.100/200 psf as transfer charges
3. Not only one sided, the clauses are abusive – standard across all DLF projects that are being fought by many DLF owners associations in Gurgaon / Chennai
4. Unlike other builders, DLF doesn’t transfer UDS at the time of booking. You will pay stamp duty on total selling price ( UDS + construction cost + DLF profits)
5. No idea
6. If you want to buy, why don’t you try re-sale properties in maiden heights? You should be able to negotiate slightly a lower price than DLF’s wooden heights!!
regards
Ram
Thanks Ram for your helpful response.
Gaurav,
What price they are asking ??
I heard they are increasing price from 14 April 13.
~Vishu
3600
Thanks Sanjay..
I got(by some promoter’s mails) again they are increasing the price to 3800 from 14/4/13.
~Vishal
3800 will be too much for this location.Having said that nothing is available less than 3800 in Bangalore .
Hi,
I’m booking @ 3300/Sq Ft
Deep is right. Price is 3300 at present !!!
Ignore other mails
~Vishu
Hi,
I have following queries regarding woodland Heights. A quick response would be much appreciated.
1)There are so many chemical and pharma companies(Biocon,micro,cipla..etc) around this property. Any concerns w.r.t pollution (contaminated water, polluted air, water shortage) ?
2) How about security within the area in terms of location near an industrial area?
Just got a mailer from DLF. Seems they have formally named the township as DLF My Town.
From the mailer it looks like good branding and it poses it as a concept of integrated township. I think it’ll help grab some attention like neotown.
Anybody else has any other updates?
Guys, Any status on the completion of Maiden heights? what is the progress now. Please let us know if any one has the information.
why G-BLOCK construction is so slow
Hi folks,
Those who have purchased an apartment in Woodland Heights please do join the google group dlf-woodland-heights-bangalore so that we can discuss on the project & construction status there. If there is any other active group please do let me know …
Regards,
Zeba
There is a facebook page created by someone as well. But there doesn’t seem to be much interaction. Appreciate if the other house owners can join up!
https://www.facebook.com/DLFWoodlandHeights
Hi Zeba,
There is recent group created on facebook for the owners of the flat in DLF woodland heights:
OOPS!!!!
Here is the correct group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/108370169337979/
I suggest:
NEVER EVER invest in a DLF property. Look at the Westend Heights project. It started in 2008 and then after restructuring in 2009 start, it is more than 3.5 years over, but there is no completion in sight. The customers are suffering like hell, but the builder is not bothered at all. Not only this, the builder has applied to the Bangalore Govt authorities to add some more floors to the existing towers.
God only save the customers from this shameless builder.
And this happens with every project of this builder. See its track record. May be it is Gurgaon or Chennai and now Westend Height at Bangalore. And going by the same lines, the Maiden/ Woodland Heights will be no different.
Invest your hard earned money only if you are also not bothered about it.
this is concerning me as well. I’d bought a flat and the tower in which my flat is supposed to be located has not even got the first floor slab. In the payment plan, they had mentioned that one floor would get constructed every 2 months. Its been 8 months now that I had booked my flat and the tower is not even having the first floor.
If they are going to do construction at this rate, not sure when the flats would be ready to occupy.
What about others? People who have booked flats in MH – Do you see construction in your towers?
I had gone to the project site a couple of weeks back. I inquired about the delay to which the DLF sales person replied that Woodland Heights will be constructed by L&T, where as Maiden Heights was to be constructed by Kunnel engineers. Kunnel engineers have now been removed from the project and DLF is negotiating with L&T to construct Maiden Heights along with WoodLand Heights.
My guess is till the time this gets sorted out do not expect much progress, but once it gets sorted, hopefully with L&T then L&T has a good track record of on time and good quality delivery.
You are talking about C block?
This builder never cares about schedules. So, better forget about it. He may be in the process of plannig to add more floors, as he is doing for Westend Heights. And your ABA is also one sided – completely favoring the builder. Bad luck
Not only this, if you refer to the agreement, you will find that there is no mention of Undivided Share Of Land. This also shows the wrong motives of the builder.
Can you advise me what can we do on this. I do agree that the ABA is one sided and there no mention of the share on the land. Do we need to consult a legal counsel?
All the agreements by this builder are one sided. That’s why CCI directed this builder to modify its agreement for one of its major residential projects. Only a group can deal with this and not an individual. You can make a group of people and meet the authorities.
@Ranjan, The article also says “CCI Chairman Ashok Chawla had said the modified agreement in the DLF case could work as a model framework for commercial agreements between real estate developers and property buyers and could serve as a benchmark for the industry”.
Are you judging the agreement of all builders? DLF did set real-estate trends.
Yes it does set trends in “Delays and one-sided agreements”
Just go through the agreement and you’ll also feel that it is completely one-sided.
They already started the construction.now L&T has taken over the project they will complete the project within their target period.
this is the specialty of L&T.delay is everywhere without nay exception.
compare some of the projects started in 2009 in the same area with Maiden heights.
Hello Guys,
Booked a flat in Woodland heights. The booking amount got debited from the account on 31st Oct. By when should one be ready with all bank loan related work? They are saying Sales deed will happen by 1st week of Jan. Has anyone else booked here? Please share any info about next steps. Is there any official group for Woodland Heights?
Regards,
Xhings
You can go for the bank loan only when you receive agreement (ABA) from DLF
I created group . flat owners can join to have discussion over there…
What price did you book at?? I have also booked one there?
Which block and floor? (if you are ok)
Hello,
I booked a flat with Affinity Solutions. I have delayed to send the docs because of Sandy. When I called today, there were saying that the price has escalated to 3300/-…Is that true? Initially I booked for 3000/-.. This is frustrating..Can any one help with ur comments?
I have booked a appartment in woodland heights.Want to know if any one got a welcome note from DLF after application processed. I was told i would get one, but not received yet.
Apart from google groups, is there any group in FB?
Did you get a receipt?
Not yet received the receipt.Still waiting.
Thanks, Do we know when can we expect receipts.. I have no communication on the dates…
Thanks. I have received the receipt by Registered Post.
Received the receipt yesterday. Came via SpeedPost
I have booked a flat in maiden heights. It was only after repeated attempts that i could get the ABA from them for applying for loan. Please keep pestering them for the same else there shall be undue delay and you shall have to make payment through cash or else bear the delayed payment interest. Their post sales customer service is actually pretty screwed up.
Hi All,
I have seen lots of comments here about the location , pricing etc.
My small suggestion is, whenever you are looking for the location in real esate, pls visualise it for next 2-3 years. Dont go by the present developments, roads, lack of schools etc ..
Development is a continuous process and whenever a project of this size ( close to 1800 apartments Maiden + Woodland) is coming up, developments are bound to follow.
Here, the builder has still got 60+ acres land .. if not builder, individuals who own lands in around this project will always contribute to the overall development of the locality. It need not be the builder alone…
I can see this happening near ‘Westend Heights’ in a big way…
yea that’s correct it’s a only hope here, that dlf developing 10000 flats here, else no any important thing there. previously i were thinking that e-city will develop due to IT companies but last 5 years really Disappointed.
1. The plan shows the “existing 12.19 wide road…”. But the road just infront of the site is not such wide. Or are they talking about the road just before the actual site which is quite broad. So as per the plan either DLF or the private property owner in front has to part away the land for widening. The DLF website says: maiden heights “18 meter wide approach road” & woodland heights “8 meter wide approach road”. If anyone has clue,idea,info please share.
2. Having 1800 apartments the approach road must be widened to the said width in the plan.
I have faith on the builder and on their potential. These thoughts just came to my mind. Request the flat owners to put their views instead of post oversights 🙂
DLF marketing employee stated that application/agreement will start this weekend. Does anyone have more details on this?
Yes, they have started blocking the flats against names.
I have already filled EoI and today received the Application form that i have to sign and send back after which the book amount cheque will be encashed by them
Gauranteed GlOOM for investors or end users …its not abt the price but the location is super flop …with no other known.branded builder going to that side of jigani !!
also DLF has terribly outpriced themselves …they launched the last phase at 2300 what has changed in the past one year in the area to command a premiem …the jigani industrial area,s road is crappy and no new developments have taken place there.
who expects to stay in these pigeon holes of apartments ( see overall plan) with 10 by 9 rooms !!! totally not worth it.
Hi Gaurav, Yes you are right initially i had made my mind but last week when i joined this forum then only i get a chance to know lots of feedback(+/-). I do not want to influence anybody , just wanted to know whether this is worth investing there or not because till 15th Oct i can change my decision also without any financial loss. so i appreciate to all of you for giving me feedback . i do not mind whether it is positive or negative. At the end want to be happy about my investment decision.
@Gaurav,
Why r u misleading ppl in the name of location. r u doing a time pass here or genuinely trying to help pll who need information.
To reach this location there are multiple road, more than 5 options. bommasadra-Jigni road is 6 lane fully tarred and well lit raod with officies, industries and Maufacturig unit all the way. Surya city phase1,2 are just 2-3 KM from this location. Even this stretch of 2-3 KM is full of Layouts and Villas.
Patel realtiy project is in close vicinity of this bommasadra-Jigni road, Hospital like naraya Hridulaya is around 6-7KM and within that range you have multiple schools and small pocket of Develloped area. Cheap ad fresh vegetale market is also close to this project, I suggest you should visit this place efore making loose statements
now compare this with other project which is launched from other known developers in bangalore, Take PT, brigade Meadows, ad so on.
yes size of unit can be argued but location,????.
I don’t know who miss leading whom and we r getting confused,
Some people already booked there flat that’s why they want to appreciate
The value and will do every thing for that. Some wouldn’t support for other reasons.
But I think value will never down, it doesn’t mens there actual rate is high.
Nope big builder never sell full project, from them eve n 60% project is sold
Out means full project is sold out as they wouldn’t in loss there land is so cheap
And there selling 10 times then actual value. But customers point of r they really
Able to sell after 5 year what price they r thinking , nope we have to understand difference between evaluation value and realization value, then only u can be smart buyer.
Hi Nixy,
i am not trying to mislead but putting things in perspective , and yes i visited that area at the begging of april for the phase 1 project investment.,
Surya city is across the lake and i dont think that 2km away , as per road distance surya city 1 is atleast 7 kms away on the village road to chandapura and then on ….also surya 2 is across the lake but no road exists so again 10 kms away atleast.
the road on which dlf is planned is supposed to join near chandapura.
also bommasandra to jigani is NOT ALL 6 lane …yes some patches remain as land acqusiition is not done due to disputes with industries.
and patel reality somondoville is 7 kms away . i dont know how you clarify it to be closeby !
Your ides of NEARBY is 7 to 10 kms then i cant say much …..and yes guys again i say location is a problem but its all related to the price and now 3k is a bit too much 2500 was ok for the size of township and knowing dlf will make it integrated for sure ….and dlf brand is top notch ….but rem properties are all about location location location ! ( rem the dialog from dirty picture films sirf teen karan sey chalti hai : entertainment entertainment ….and entertainment …just substitute films with property and entertainment with location !) on a seriousnote ….if somebody is ok with the location and his or her timeframe is 5 years then this will give returns but so will any other property.
So what do u suggest? No for this property…or yes for long term? I guess…thru out Blr..these road issues are common..but, def I agree with location..5.5 kms from Hosur road..appreciate ur comments
great gaurav, comment is very much realistic and correct that Location is very much important, if u have a extra money and seeking for purely for investment and can wait for safely 6+/- year, and WILL be compromise with PRICE should only purchase .my some point are, i’m not able to see any reason for this location that it will be very great location , yea defiantly it will develop sure as any other location, but there is no any reason to it will develop as a important location, metro will be in boomsandra so metro hardly come to dlf location side. one strong reason i’m thinking this can develop fast because 10000 flats r coming, in nearly 20 acres dlf launched more then 2000 flats, so in 100 acres how much flat will come ,can easily understand.
and this is ALSO ONE BIG draw back for whom,who are going for INVESTMENT, it’s VERY GOOD STRATEGY FOR BUILDER that increase the balloon of value.
DLF is launched in 2000(assume i don’t know exactly) for maiden height, pre
launch, and sure no one get, made hype with all released unit sold out. now launched phase 1, 2200, 30-40%(figure may be incorrect don’t stuck on figure, plz understand the strategy) sold, phase 1 completed successfully, 2 phase some more tower like that go on, same response with +/-, no problem,.maiden height successfully completed. woodland height launched given some agency let him work for sell, here also launch some phases same response with +/- project fully sold out successfully. other XYZ height launched…. meanwhile maiden height construction completed, now 20-30% person came for possession on 30-40% now this person increase the value in real manner, now people want to come in this location, now investor come to the picture but Err dlf already selling in maiden height flat as a ready to move in flat so so what Current value after 2 year (which is hyped by DLF ) u want to cash, now builder it self as a hurdle for u. even some think let we book on new building.. and it will call it like a recursive function till at least 6-7 or may be 8-10 year, now 100 acers completed…. 100 rs now 100000(minimum),, but but dlf is still hurdle for investor , it’s a very common thinking every one go to builder not to individual seller. until untill , u wouldn’t sell in less, and i’m 100% sure some DLF agent/partner or even investor group,will there also available to negotiate on this price.IMPORTANT: here i’m not talking about other builder who will come near by u with great offer.
so here NENCY comment will true “BUYER WAKE UP, u should understand the difference between EVALUATION VALUE AND REALIZATION VALUE “. here builder strategy is GREAT, hats of , that is the patience he shown and that’s why he is on top, actual profit(sizable) dlf starting after launch XYZ height and maiden height possession getting start.
In my point of view for investors that location is great where is future, and builder will make full plan together(increase the price from 2000 to 4000-5000 till possession) and go away(at least wouldn’t start new project in parallel), and let investors to give chance to come out and take the benefit.
choose the highway or some important roads as a location.
project Brigade golden triangle on great location as on NH and exact on road which is going to white field and metro will come here if it will go to hoskote. as it’s possible as in delhi metro went to faridabad.(yea will take time, sure)
next Prestige tranquility(purely for investment keep patience minimum 6-7 year) it will give u awesome return, IT’s on main BIA road, i’m still abusing myself why i didn’t invest on godrej project on hebbal road when 2 bhk in 40-50 lacks, now see that iconic location full road with costly flats, and it’s understood by other big builder that’s why near budigere location other big builder like shobha, brigade etc creating land bank it’ll be great location in future no doubt. see real estate is a risk big risk big benefit but keep patience, see all aspects.
all r my points and with my thinking it’s not necessary to all will agree. but i just opened my mind may be helpful for others.
Hi,
I don’t know why people are spreading wrong information about this project.
I am visiting Electronic city area from last 5 years.I have seen how this area is grown.
This property is not good for people who can invest 50-60 lacs for 2 bhk and 70-80 Lacs for 3 BHK.
I will share features based on which I went to buy this property.
1. It was in my budget , I got 3 BHK ,40% less price than compare to other big projects.
2.Electronic city is connected to silkboard with 10 Lane road,There is elevated highway ,without single signal and traffic Jam you can reach silk board.
3.This highway start point is around 7-8 KM from site and no traffic till reaching eleveated highway.
4.It is having other route which is 9 KM away from WIPRO main gate,This route is going to be developed.
5.You can reach bannergata way via 2 route
1.First reach wipo main->Beggur road (no toll and completly trafiic free)
2.Reach to electronic city phase 1 and get NICE road.
3.Usig bannergatta-Anekel rad
I have used all these roads.
6. You can reach reach ITPL using 3 alternatives
1.Go to silk board using elevated highways
2.Take Jail road and connect to Outerring road
3.One more alternative is there,I will get detail and posted
7.There are buses which run every 5 minutes and connect to silk board via elevated highway.
8.reaching Airport will be also in less time,
1.Go to Silk board using elevated hghway
2. There is almost signal free road is ready to reach airpot
3.You have companies near like HCL,Biocon,Microlab
9.purposed Metro phase 3 is around 5 KM from this location
10.Near by hospital is Narayaa hrdyalaya (appr 5 KM)
11.Lot of schools are in this area eg: Treames,VIBGYOR,Christ acadamy
12. Near by upcoming shoping mall is Patel neo mall (in around 18 acres), in phase some big malls are planned
Regards,
Vijay
I agree with Vijay.It is indeed difficult to get 3BHK unit from a branded builder at a cost of 40 Lakhs.
@vijay would humbly want to point at a Few inaccuracies :
1 :”40% less price as compared to other 3bhks” yes because the area is very small !! so price naturally will be lower !! but pls see the area offered too 3bhk in 1230 sq feet …phew thats tight or shd i say Tighter by 40 % than a usual 3bhk of 1600 sq feet so thats not a feature by any chance.
2 : electronic city is connected by 10 lane road elevated tollway : the tollway is only 4 lanes ! so factuallly wrong.
3 :”no traffic till reaching eleveated highway.” wrong the jigani bommasandra road is full of industrial truck traffic and in some patches is a nightmare depending on the time.
IMHO metro station is 7 kms away ( atleast ) so pls check google maps
@Gaurav If you have better alternative, could you suggest the option within the same budget keeping other factors in mind so that I can avail the same?
Guys, did you check this one out?
http://www.godrejproperties.com/godrejecity/overview
Guys,
1) Phase 1 has appreciated by close to 30% in a year and we all know that property has appreciated by atleast 12% p.a each year for the last few years and will continue to do so in the near future
2) DLF is a good brand and they have planned to make good use of the 80 odd acres they have at the site
3) The approach roads are decent and better than most I have seen.
4) The pricing is based on the size of the apartment and is not a steal but is market relevant I think.
I have booked an apartment and have a good feeling about it. Fingers crossed and good luck to all my fellow buyers.
Hi Gaurav,
If I am telling 3 BHK , 40% price then I am comparing 1230 Sq Ft not with 1600 Sq ft.
I bought 3 BHK in 40 Lacs with price at 2285 Per Sq ft, I think all big builders like DLF are not selling atleast below 4000 Sq ft.
Yes elevated highway is 4 lanes but if you count all the lanes with elevated highway then it is 10 lanes
5 Km from metro I told as esitmated distance, if it is 7 KM then thank you for providing right info
I am not from marketing team. I have shared whatever I felt.
It seems some people just want to spread negative infromation.
Don’t know why they are doing.They might distruct buyes to have affroadable houses
hi vijay, as i seen all other project of all builders, this location if u r comparing with sharjapur or hennur side then u r doing big mistake as these builder r coating 4000 or even higher there but that location is also great… and yea north bangalore side they r litlle optimistic if they r coating now 4000 but there r may be optimistic due to airport and gov project so every thing will come there it’s sure that’s why may be…
but plz don’t do mistake to justify this prise to compare with good location project(atleast compare with this where all development is depend upon DLF only).
Hi All,
I haven’t booked any apartment in DLF, I have booked my Flat at Shanders Dwellington. I have booked a 3BHK for 42.70
Now when I was looking for my apt i didn’t have DLF as an option nor Godrej nor TATA or Mantri or Purvankara (Provident).
I come from a real estate back ground. My Dad is a civil engg and he is a promoter and if you know about Jamshedpur he was in town planning.
What do you think an ideal apt size for 2BHK is?
I guess for you its 1200-1300sq ft…
Now how much carpet area do you get in that?
On an Avg 70-75%
So you get less than 1000sf ft as your living area.
So you have a foyer space, an alley leading to your bed room etc which is actually a result of BAD Planning as these space a never user for living these are decorative spaces for which you pay extra.
So with the above specifications you end up paying 20 Lac more because the builder tags it as Luxury Aprtment.
Where as an ideal budget 3BHK apt size would start from 1200 sq ft
The ideal size for a budget middle class 2 BHK is 1000 Sq ft.
here you living area is almost close to 80% of the actual area.
Now these apt don’t have foyer and alley spaces, these units have bed rooms sizes of 11.5×11/10 appx. Where as standard is considered to be 12×12
Now if you plan your furniture properly then you can ignore this 0.5 – 1.0 diff.
Now DLF also has proper planning issue as the passage space has reduces the room size by 1ft to 2 ft but if you have a closer look to the bedroom specs the passage space has been provisioned inside your M Bedroom in most 2BHK and that space can be used for Sliding Wardrobes.
Which acoording to me is a clever planning but ofcourse not a good planning.
Now please show me a builder who give 2 balconies + 1utility in 2BHK. I have almost 350+ apts in BLR and after that I’m commenting on this.
If I start mentioning everything on this blog then the space wont be sufficient. Gourav all your personal grievances regarding the builder and location etc would request you to not mention on public forums.
Also big builders coming to this locality is Kolte Patil, Patel Realty, Sriram etc.
All buyers DLF is India’s one of the largest real estate company and this property already has an appreciation of 800/Sq ft as of yesterday as the price on 10/03/2013 is 3300/Sq ft. So think before you invest as this is a BUDGET Apartment and not a Luxury apartment So Size will matter else if you need to shell extra for the Luxury Tag.
My Brother has bought an apt in DLF New Town in BTM extn. The project is delayed by 1yr as the builder had to change his plan due to recession and another 6 months delay due to 2 industrial accidents in which appx 5-6 workers died. All those who have booked more than 2 years have been promised for compensation.
One important point, no builder wants to delay the construction as the cost rises and as cost rises the apts already sold goes for a huge loss. So until and unless its not some bigger concern the project is as always projected to be completed on time.
Gourav this post is not for humiliating you or anyone else but just to give a Clear picture of what is the diff between Budget apartment and Luxury Apartment.

‘Personal opinions about location’ ha ha location is not a personal opinion.
SO WHAT if your father is a promoter or whatever ….how does it qualify you or HIM of being an expert !! Forget your expertise your long essay above casts apprehensions on his “town planning’.
As for your ‘no builder wants to delay the construction’ what a joke …you have lost all credibility …as all buyers know that as a buyer you pay the bank @ 12% per anum as for the builder he pays 2-3 rs per sq feet i.e 3k to 5k which is a pittance that too IF they pay …stop fooling people here people can see thru your agenda !
Well your statement seems like you wanna impose your opinion on others. Please read the comments before replying I haven’t mentioned anything regarding the area its the build up and the carpet area etc. You what you are kind of “Empty Vessels Make more noise”, If you didn’t like it it not necessary that everyone will have to think like you. Everyone had diff of opinion and diff of idea and preference. Talk to the point, “Your point is the area is not good and fast developing”, yes current status say that but after 3 years the area will appreciate because of the word DLF attached to the area.
You need to check your comments its not certifying or qualifying as an expert and commenting its about sharing an important info which many people are unaware of as they are not from this real estate background. You need to show more respect on public forum that too when you are talking on a point which you don’t have any idea what you are talking about. I have read all your comments you haven’t spoken even 1% technical details as to what is the structural stability , how well planned the apts are (Air and light) etc. This form is for providing a common platform where people can share their views and opinion not where you force your decision upon them. If you didn’t like it you didn’t buy it as simple as that also the interest rates as of today is 9.99% from SBI so the 12% imaginary figure is a bull shit.
You are actually misguiding the buyers, my question to you is have booked the apartment? I guess no
So if you have booked elsewhere then please provide the complete details so that people can compare this project with where you have booked. If you are aware then currently all big builders like Mantri, DLF, Prestige, Tata, Godrej etc none of them are making their New projects in the developed areas as common people wont be able to afford it. All budget apartments (Maiden Heights, Woodland Heights, TATA New heaven, Godrej eCity, Brigade Orchards and Meadows, Provident Housing, Mantri Alpyne, etc) are being build on the outskirts of the city so that a bigger are can be developed and the can be reasonably priced so that common man afford like us.
Yesterday (17/03/2013) my brother in law booked the Woodland Heights @3300/Sq Ft. I guess from 1st April they will launch the third phase Uno and I guess the price will be somewhere 3500/Sq Ft. Patel’s Neo Town is Appx 7Kms away, 5 to 6 gated communities within 10Km Radius, Few International and residential schools, upcoming IT park in Patel’s Neo Town and also Shopping complex, 15 mins drive from Wipro Office by 4 wheeler. Wont be able to comment about the construction status as Woodland Heights’s construction is just started and few blocks foundation is complete.
The major problem is that the borewells for Woodland Heights have failed, as per the builder they are going to supply water from Hemavathi River confirmed the Panchayat approval for this. As once the total 75 Acre area is Developed some 6000 – 8000 families will stay in there so i guess the builder will come up with some permanent plan for the water. As for the time being I’m not worried as there will be another 1999 and 650 upcoming families will be there so guess some permanent solution will be there.
elevated highway is a tollway, means u have to pay for every trip, and price is low because 3 bhk r small in area, metro no any chance to come near to DLF, as it’s already declared will go to in different route.
LOL, other comments also like providing unnecessary favor to this project nothing else and if u r talking about distance(in +ve manner)then better not to discuss about airport.
yea nitin study is great, specially for builder strategy, good one.
Hi Nixy, thanks for your feedback. Actually i did not had good idea about nearby location. though i visited the site last week and saw some nearby location but i think to know the locality somebody need to spend time and i am lacking here that is why i am putting my concern here.
I welcome for all kind of input because they give us freedom to judge our decision. Due to my busy office schedule i did not had enough time to completely check the locality so i think the details given by you people would be helpful for me . If you people have some more details regarding this project then please share with me.
Once again thanks to all …. 🙂
I spoke to marketing guy today and he said it ll be launched 17th..but, the price he quoted was disappointing..any one has info around it?
I checked with Proptiger and most of the prelaunch booking @ 3000/- is being done by guys based out of US/UK/Delhi and Mumbai for the purpose of Investment
Hi, all Pre launch flat are booked ??? i do not trust this as till last day they told they have only sold 60 % flat.
Possible since prelaunch @3000 is restricted to first 150 units.
Ok, May be you are right. But there is multiple tower which are open for some other marketing partner so if proptiger is not offering you @3000 price then you can check with them.
I Booked my Flat with PropTiger last week, but afterwards got call from some other marketing partner and they were having same offer with different tower for booking .so i am sure that you can still get some good deal here.
Hi, what price they are quoting now ??
I have to transfer the booked property. Please contact if interested
Hi all,
My first comment in this forum.
I have booked a 2 BHK @ 37L (all paid/@3000 per sq ft) and I’ll agree that the location is not superb as far as next 2 years are concerned.
But looking at these next 2 years, anyways possession is expected in 1st quarter of 2015, so no point of renting/living till then. But the appreciated is certainly expected in terms of DLF booking further flats at higher prices (like they went from 2285 to 2800 in 1st phase) and also the other parts developing in the surroundings (I saw a board of DB Reality on the main road on a vacant land, also Surya city and Neotown will develop on the opposite site of this project).
When i searched for the flats in E-city, the cheapest was 26.8L (all paid) by Vasavi. And these flats are real pigeon holes as there are no open spaces, totally dark and no amenities. The current avg price in E-city phase 1 is 2800-3800 sq ft (not counting anantha nagar in this). Also these projects go well inside (about 1 km from any main road).
The advantage here are, walking distance from a 4 lane main road (buses already plying), HCL straight in front, other companies such as Biocon, SRF etc are not too far (tenants expected). Another could be that with almost 1800 flats of DLF only, the area gains a potential in itself. APC circle is close by and already has some small commercial setup.
This is going to be my first purchase and with a house loan of good 25L+.
My targets are:
1. Since there is a time frame of 2 years, i can still save along the way and reduce the loan requirement because i plan to pay 6.8L (the final amount at the time of possession) in 2014 end/2015 beginning, apart from the mandatory 20%, which would not have been possible if i invest in a project that will be delivered next year, thus saving me some loan amount. (remember guys, for every 1L of loan you end up returning more than 2L+, this increases your effective cost of the flat)
2. This is a great upgrade for people who are thinking for going for Foyer City or any other flat in anantha nagar and a good equivalent option for those who are considering Himagiri Residency, as Himagiri won’t be able to meet DLF brand value any day. Also, Foyer/Himagiri are at places where a bus stand doesn’t come closer than more than 0.5 km, whereas i won’t be surprised to have a bus stop straight opposite to HCL on the main road and for DLF.
3. My target is to have a rent of around 15k+ post possession (means 2015) which will be achievable as far as my projections are concerned. Also you can expect a good spike when possessions for Maiden Heights will be given.
But all said and done, i am only a first time buyer, who started with a budget of around 30L, ended up paying, 37L+. I am still double minded, so may be a good opinion/comments on my thoughts will help me go-ahead/think again on my decision, as i still have couple of days before the booking amount is withdrawn from my account.
Experienced guys, please help.
i also booked a flat here, but by the comment (specially from nititn) i double minded now,
mr Nam as per ur comment, i don’t think u will step back. because u r tooooo optimistic, which i’m not. as 2 year, i don’t think it will be livable easily in 4 year.
and rent part 15 thousand also difficult as i think so in possession time we will see 3 bhk is going to rent in this figure, because so many people r purchasing for this purpose so will have so much competition between them..
any way if u r going for living purpose then ok else leave it, i know i wouldn’t live here.
better to go here on ready to move flats here and purchase on cash(for investors).
This is confirmed. Talked to the deputy manager, marketing
Thru whom I booked my flat. Rate from Monday will be 3400 per sq ft
It is every individual’s decision based on his/her due diligence and evaluation of going for a property or not.
BUT, 3400/sq ft in that area is absolutely ridiculous, worse than 3000/sq ft, which I thought was not worth the price. I did not purchase it at 2600/sq ft when I had the chance. I made rounds of that area, talked with multiple people etc and I made the right decision (for myself) in my opinion, even though I paid a bit extra for more space and in the middle of the city (lower costs in terms of commuting etc.) plus getting possessing by early next year. Yes, I compromised in terms of the brand. But given all the other things, I would willingly compromise 🙂
Anyways, talking about that rate, is it because people are thinking brand+low total cost(in relative to other areas) = attractive proposition? And then, people curse saying that Bangalore market rates are going up :-D….
By the same logic, even 3400/sq ft sounds reasonable compared to 4000-4500/sq ft being quoted in areas such as harlur road/hosa road…so I feel there will still be takers at that price of 3400 :)…Anyways its an individual decision….Any rate is a good rate if you are going to stay there and like the place…but investment wise, I am not very sure…if you have multiple people in a complex vying to rent if off and lets face it, IT growth has stunted and I do not see many new office properties coming up (which includes that area)…and non-IT sector people having a certain willingness to pay(which is lower than that of IT employees)…I see competitive pricing in terms of rents for the apartments…
Anyways, all the best!
Hi, I also booked one 2 Bhk flat in the DLF woodland Height and having the same feeling as every first time buyer use to have. it is really very tough to decide about the location , so many post are not allowing to go with 3000k budget in that area but on the other hand all other builder has increased their basic selling price which make tough for customer who is having budget close to 30..35 LK for 2 BHK.
from my point of view DLf is a big brand and yest it has brand value so if we consider this as completely for investment and can wait at least 3 year then might we can get some good appreciation. Growth in that area will not happen like it is going on North Bangalore but on the other hand north area price has already increased (talking about A grade builder) and it is out of reach of a customer who has budget constraints. DLF know how to increase the value of property , they must have some plan as they acquired big space there and already applied for 80 acre more in the same area.
Not sure about the rent part after getting possession because it is totally depend upon the growth of the overall area and we can expect at least 13..16 K at least for a 2 BHK ( as per my calculation) after the possession because there are so many IT and manufacturing companies are there and at present people do not prefer to live there because they do not have good option there but i think builder like DLF will surely give them an good impression to reconsider the place before deciding to live far away from Electronic city.
As far as appreciation is concerned, according to prop tiger people the price is going to revised to 3300/3400 by 24th Oct. But as they are Marketing partner of DLF so i do not trust them but still i think it will have some good appreciation in 3 year (just an idea based on DLF planning for the overall development.)
The price is already revised u may check the same on dlf website . .
@SS btw did u got the agreement?
In the official DLF site it is not mentioned below is the URL i am referring
http://www.dlfwoodlandheights.in/
you may correct me and provide me the correct URL. so far i have not asked them to send me the booking form as from my side i am not very sure whether i should go for this investment or not !!!!!!!!!
So many question are posted in the same forum !!!! regarding the revised price marketing people are from the day one telling that after 2 day price will revised but from last 15 days i am watching this and so far no progress. although i have given them my EOI now i have to sign my booking form for which i am thinking a lot…
Any more suggestion/comment related to property …………………
The above mentioned didn’t seem to be a legitimate one.
Please try http://dlf.in/dlf/wcm/connect/Corporate/DLF_SITE/HOME
Would advise you to kindly go to their site office to get the actual details
The current price as of 10/03/2013 is 3300/Sq Ft.
Hi,
Any one has any information regarding the issue with water pollution in this area ?????
or any other concern which restrict the growth of the area even after 3..5 year time span !!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Did anybody filled the application form for DLF woodland height ???
Today i have received my application for and it is hard to believe all the condition are favoring the builder only. Is this the format from DLF applicable for other apartment too (Maiden height, western height..) so specific for Woodland height people.
So i am looking for some feedback/comments on the terms and condition define by the builders (DLF) ..
thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!
Yes, i am reading the application form itself…
Which conditions are you talking about??
Hi Nam, i am talking about the condition written in the application form:
Condition No:21 and most importantly condition No 26: where it is not clearly mentioned about the resale of property. although it is mentioned that resale will be allowed after 1 year but there were sever clause mentioned there without mentioning the exact percentage amount/sq ft rate.
Also prop tiger people promised that if in between anybody want to drop his plan then there will be 2 % penalty on the paid amount , i did not find this clause anywhere.
Most of the condition are very straight forward favoring the builder so i just wanted to confirm whether this is standard format or specific for DLF woodland height
people.
Any feedback from experience people ?????
project base price is attractive, but when m i choosing good flat it’s going easily 3300-3400 rs , i don’t know why they r telling 3000 rs , first no one flat availble in this price if u want to cut other charges then u wil compromise with ur wish ,,,,, what to do i don’t know, i seriously confused, even they don’t have exact plan also……
it’s good strategy to keep base price low then coustomer made mind and after adding other charges he will think he/she is wasting his/her time.
in this rate villa project will ok(May be) , in this location….
Hi Geeta,
Just as a reply to your concern, there is always a BSP and then other charges if there is any locational advantage in the flat (view etc). You’ll find it in all the project across all the builders. For example recently launched Godrej ECity is being marketed at 3300 per sq ft but has many high (as well as mandatory) charges on it.
yes nam, i think godrej also learn from dlf how to looting people, cuz in previous hebbal project of godrej charges is not like that as he is charging here, and even other top notch builder like shobha, prestige, brigade still not charging east, north, corner and categorised view charges.and even other which i’m not getting, u can see other post in this thread only.
Any way this is not thing, i just telling i’m just calculating that one builder price is 3300+100+25+50+20*6+++ = 3500-3600 something like that, car parking is also open, so we hace to calculate last figure where other builder coating higher base price also then even it will cheap from dlf flats… simple…
Is it cheaper than DLF??
As per my enquiry, their smallest flat, 964 sq ft is coming to atleast 48L+
A good 10L+ on DLF final price.
LOL, nam geeta is accusing both(godrej and DLF), any way i think godrej some what nearer to city comparatively, but main thing is godrej construction quality and amenities will top notch and no so many phases(2-3 max).. as i compared with dlf and godrej project , comments are welcome…. but plz keep in mind don’t compare with some posh DLF project, this project is very very normal and budget project, and nobody knows how many people will share same things…
while godrej project till now all with good construction quality and top class amenities … can check it…
There is nothing to LOL about mihir. I perfectly understand what Geeta is saying here. And i have not been wrong in comparing DLF and Godrej. You can LOL this also when i say that Godrej can’t match DLF name in real estate.
I truly understand and agree that DLF doesn’t have any locational advantage as of now. But since day 1 i have been searching for a branded option, in a range, even higher than this DLF project, like upto 40-42L but no one could help with an option. If you can then please.
So, if at all, any first time buyer, specially if he/she is not from Bangalore can still ride on DLF for a budget home and hope for the best. As there are many companies around already and a good wide road.
My point of view is that going for Godrej ecity, which goes well inside Doddathoguru village road thru a small lane. That too when 2 BHK falls for well above 48-50L. Rather in that case, i’ll bid for Himagiri Residency near Wipro Gate.
These are marketing tricks, pricing strategy that every company does and DLF is no expection. You can’t term these as loot. Best thing is to total up everything (like CTC for fixing salary) and have them compared for different builders to take suitable decisions.
yea correct, it’s not looting but i think she is telling in terms of base price.
actually it’s like that put a tag price 999 rs only and made a customer mind that it’s still inn multiple of hundred only.. it’s a mind game on marketing term… show base price and due to base price at least person will turn to project, once any one will make mind then 50% he trapped… it’s a mind game….
I was planning to buy a property in Bangalore, DLF pre-launch offer for Woodland Heights looks lucrative, however Phase-1, Maiden Heights is delayed by 1 yr and am a bit sceptic about the timelines. Not sure if the price is a bit high when location is taken into consideration @ Rs.3000/sft. I am not from Bangalore, so any suggestions or review are welcome. Please do share your thoughts. Thank you
we have blocked a 3 bhk flat at rs.3000/- per sq.ft. we are thinking of conforming it. Not sure about the worthyness of the rate they are charging…..
Can any buyers share your opinions?
3k for that location ! u must be an optimist , there are no real estate drivers that side of electronic city pls look at better options on harlur / sarjapur / main roads rather than go and spend 3k in the middle of nowhere !
Instead of investing 70lacs for a 2 BHK in Whitefield its safe to invest with 3000Rs rate where atleast you will have some appriciation.
and in other areas only Mungerilal can think of appriciation where rates are already on saturation level.
You are spot on!!
people were shouting saturation @ 3000 Inr per sq feet in whitefield ….let electronic city appreciate first for this projec t to even show some growth ( altough 12 kms from electronic city!!!)
I saw that property when the rates were at 2600/- sqft…many of my friends do cycling, running or just driving on that link road….and they advised me against buying because of the smell that emanates from some of the factories/plants in that road…also I saw some posts/complaints (on the internet) about water pollution by the industries…it was then…
But 3000/- sqft looks a different ball game altogether….if they can quote it, it is just because of the DLF brand…location wise…that area is really not worth it…
So, would advise people to consider these factors…the low prices from reputed brands sometimes look too tempting to resist…I must admit 🙂
my opinion: if you plan to live in that area in next couple of years, you have to see what best is available in that area (within your budget) and go for that.
if it is for investment – one probably need to consider other factors such as plot vs apartment vs villa (vs non-real-estate options), location – E/W/N/S Bangalore, how easy / difficult to sell in that location, RoI expected / possible etc.
If everyone would have thought the same way. We would have never had Gudgaon as one of the costliest residential hub in the country.I still regret not investing in westend heights and now see the worth of that project. Despite no presence in the south DLF has a proper strategy how to sell and make the property worth it in the long run. At least experience and Name like DLF deserves some value 🙂
LOL ….. sarika this discussion is very old that gurgaon developed DLF or DLF developed gurgaon whatever or INDIA developed..(plz see the old reviews and sapana served a good point on this).
but i’m thinking i should take a land in this area.then land will get appreciation a lot due to DLF project area will develop and no need to say flat can’t compare villa or land in terms of appreciation in long terms.
but for me and my friend have only reason to escaped from this project is, As i m putting old point only me and my friend is not able to think how much flat will come here and share the same park, roads, club house etc… as they have no any project layout, they r getting approval and step by step building a forest of concrete. i’m in bangalore not in gurgaon, i want greenery.
about appreciation wise approximately full bangalore is getting good appreciation not only DLF project..
Sumit:
>> should take a land in this area
Are you aware of any good layouts in that area? Thanks.
i’m also searching dude, some artha property related name project is here and some newbies also launched project here all r villas only… see the news papers… but be aware about all document should be proper and scrutiny should be done by good lawyer or u should be take a multiple round of registrar office. kuch pane ke liye kuch khona padta… things we want in cheap also and we wouldn’t do anything, both things r not possible together.
Vakil hosur hills may be a good option (i.e. if one wants in elec city area only). Haven’t seen. So, can’t say for sure.
@rakesh1 dude it’s in TN. How is this better than WH? 🙂
Dear all, DLF maiden height buyers. I hv created a group for the buyers of Maiden Heights. Request all concerned to join it so that we can join hands and share our experience and concerns.
http://www.facebook.com/DlfMaidenHeightsBuyersGroup
I bought a 3BHK for 44.5 lacs recently. Wherever DLF launches its projects, the vicinity develops very fast. I see a definite appreciation from current Rs 2800 to Rs 4000 by the time I get possession. Dec 2013 expected slowdown might have some impact, but I am not worried.
I am happy with the decision, it is a good value for money buy! Even if I wont stay there, it will easilty fetch me 25k rent in 2014, with HCL, Biocon and other companies around.
Cheers!
Jaknap
Dear Jaknap,
Congratulations! My best wishes with you.
However don’t be so +ve about the rental part. Try logging in Commonfloor and look how many rental appartments are available in the vicinity of E-City. Unfortunately there are not many takers. I have another 3BHK property (within 3kms of E-City, 500mts from Biocon) and finding a tenant was not easy.
Even many flats owners in and around are depreciating the rents to atleast vacate the empty flats. If the situation near E-City is not promising, how can you be so sure about Jigani which is almost 10 kms far away.
Jaknap, Even we bought 3BHK for the same reason as urs.. do you know when is the project completion adn how has it shaped now.
Hope for the best appreciation.Even I booked 3BHK for the same reason.The construction update is there in the DLF website
As Per DLF they will handover it at the end of 2013 which is not possible taking into account the progress of the construction.
My sister visited the sites 2 days back.1st slab is under progress.
No matter even its is delayed by 1yr,rate of appreciation will be better than all other projects in that area DLF name and quality.
plz go through other reviews no quality no more with DLF and he have lot’s of cases against the construction quality.
DLF maiden heights project is delayed. I suppose they should have completed Ist slab by Aug 12. But still in progress. As per their clause, they will pay an amount every month if there is delay as agreed in the booking agreement. Is this true. Will the company pay for such delay.
Phase II is going to be launched @3100 per sq feet next month.Good news for all those who booked @2285/2350/2475/2660/2800
I heard that the project was open for booking, at pre-launch, at sub-2285 rates also..
Is it correct ?
yes .the project was launched at 2285
Hi all, can anyone guide me about the DLF new launch “DLF woodland height” , they are quoting 3000 for pre launch offer (some marketing partner not DLF itself). so is that the value for money specially in that area. i have gone to the above comments /suggestion and found the forum very useful for me. also is that marketing partner “ProTiger” is really trusted organisation. any feedback??
Hi , Any feedback on “DLF Woodland height” new launch?? is it worth investing into that project (3000 SQ/FT) along with several PLC charges??
Yes!!!
DLF is a Super brand, hence VFM ad appreciation is guarateed Any other top builders are charging madly. Just look around price of every thing is increasing, hence anything cheaper i future is a question mark.
invest with caution as the location of this township is very far away from electronic city and 6 kms inside …somewhere behind jigni industrial area. altough i agree DLF is a super brand but see location too before deciding…altough once the whole township comes up ( approx 100 acres) it shd be an ok place to stay…invest i am not sure as nothing happening nearby and land prices there are also not very high .
plz do study then tell who is charging madly, don’t comment without thinking… my study is
View Charges (Per Sft) – Lifestyle- Rs.100 / Premium – Rs.50 / Standard – Nil
Orientation Charges (Per Sft) – Corner – Rs.25 / Non Corner – Nil
Door Facing Charges (Per sft) – East – Rs.50 / North & West – Rs.25 / South – Nil
IBMS – Rs.50 Per sft
IIDC – Rs.50,000/- per unit
Car Parking – Open only – Rs.1,50,000/-
Club House Charges – Rs.75,000/-
Water & Electricity – Rs.1,25,,000/-
Floor rise Rs. 20 per sft from 5th floor
plz NOTE:
car parking is OPEN then even charging…
Door Facing Charges (Per sft) – East – Rs.50 / North & West – Rs.25 /
i didn’t see in any other builder
Orientation Charges (Per Sft) – Corner – Rs.25 / Non Corner – Nil
i didn’t see in any other builder
View Charges (Per Sft) – Lifestyle- Rs.100 / Premium – Rs.50
other also have premium view but these two type charges…
in my study no body can purchase in base price as they have lot’s of things to charge for extra…
DLF is CHARGING MADELY
car parking is OPEN, iis it correct?
they r not constructing any basement for parking,
if yes then how can DLF charge for open parking, it’s a illegal.
@neeraj, I dont kow what you have studied but all what you have mentioned, is what DLF has put in its website, nothing new, If you want to do analysis then compare it with prestige, shoha, mantri, brigade, rohan, nitesh, Purvankara, this will be the real study.
Few points before you do any study
1) Compare using 2012 data, 2) Keep Location in mind 3) Start with Pre-Lauches rate 4) Floor rise charge for all these uilders and also check from which floor they are charging. 5) Check for there PLC’s also.
I am sure you will have your answers. Read other posts in this same forum for other projects, I am sure you will have broader view.
Even after this still you are very critical then please suggest a project which you think can e used as reference
u r right neeraj,
nixcy as u only told ” Read other posts in this same forum for other projects, I am sure you will have broader view.”
plz nixcy don’t mind but plz follow ur words and u will get broader idea..
as i just simply compare with prestige project by this forum only as u told. i found it ………
1.Location: even rajpura it’s not a great location here easily u will get land around 400-600 rs sqfeet.yea othe don’t have also very great location. and both have own plus point.
2.Floor rise charge : in prestige 15 rs per floor, in DLF 20 rs per floor after 5th floor.
3.Door Facing Charges (Per sft): DLF charging East – Rs.50 / North & West – Rs.25 /, Prestige NOT charging for this.
4. Orientation Charges (Per Sft) –DLF charging Corner – Rs.25 , Prestige NOT charging for this.
5. View Charges (Per Sft) – DLF charging Lifestyle- Rs.100 / Premium – Rs.50 / , prestige charging 75 rs as premium view
6. Car Parking –DLF charging OPEN only – Rs.1,50,000/- and prestige charging Rs.2,50,000/ but it’s on covered basement and anybody will happy to pay this fees as car at least safe from water, environment disorder etc
7.Club House Charges – DLF charging Rs.75,000/- and
prestige NONE(surprise for me also)
other charges in DLF is IBMS – Rs.50 Per sft
IIDC – Rs.50,000/- per unit,(i don’t know what is this charges)
Water & Electricity – Rs.1,25,,000/-(it is same for all type of flat, means who have a small flat has to pay amount as big flat????).
here Generator and Adv. Maintenance charges is not counted :as per my knowledge about builders don’t think they will give u free if u want all these services….
in prestige is Bescom/ BWSSB- Rs. 100/ Sft
Adv. Maintenance – Rs. 42/ Sft
1st year Sinking fund Rs. 42/ Sft
Generator for1 BHK 45000, 2 BHK- 75000/- and 3 BHK Rs. 120,000/-
so i’m feeling DLF is going little(at least) greedy then one builder what i mentioned, shobha, purvankra i seen some other charges what DLF don’t have but then even DLF making more then them, whatever i seen till now DLF is big builder and he is making much more big hole to customer pocket in compare to other builders.
Hope so hidden charges will not come when u will go for possession.(it’s for all builders)
I am not very sure on worthiness of the project. My observation pros: DLF brand, their experience,etc… From the conversation of DLF employee at site I understand that they learned all local issues in in their 1st project Westend Heights itself. The cons may be the worthiness as of today but obviously will appreciate one day.
Hi All,
DLF woodland height project final price breakup has not given by the sales team, as they are telling in the pre launch offer exact price is not decided. but things will come before 15th Oct.
also,yes they are charging 1,75,000 for open car parking and other changes (i.e. corner,east facing,west facing,north facing ), forest view, park view, lake view…etc so as a package i think per SQ/Ft price should be around 3400( including all the primum charges+floor charges). Although i booked 2BHK flat because i assume in future we will surely get bit appreciation(as lots of company are there).so from investment point of view i want opinion from all of you because till 15th October i can cancel my booking without any penalty. so please share you feedback. thanks in advance.
It’s my honest advice , keep ur hand away from this
Project, specially who want to live here or who don’t
Have a extra money.. For medium class it will costly and kick back
Decision. See it’s only for investors they can wait easily 6-7
Years.. In my point of view any area will appreciate a lot in 6 years.
U see north bangalore after 6 year, gov. Projects r there.
No one can develop fast then govg
@Thanks for your suggestion Jems, could you explain how you conclude that this area is not going to grow in coming 3-5 years ( considering so many IT and other Manufacturing companies are already there). i want some open suggestion(+/-) so that i can think better. i also agree that north Bangalore has higher growth but on the other hand i did not found any good deal ( comparing brand+quality + price) so according to me this could be the good option. Please suggest…
Hi kumar, thanks for you detailed suggestion, but here one point i want to confirm regarding all other brand and that is their starting price for pre launch offer. i was waiting for good price from some known builder (i would prefer known name ). so coming to prestige /sobha / SJR… i think they are out of my reach. do you have any idea about any other project where we could get some competitive price. actually i have already booked my flat in DLF woodland height but not 100% sure about my decision and can rethink on my decision till 15 oct. so any suggestion / comment would be helpful for me.
Hi,
I read one another forum about bad smell which comes from Bio Industry in that area. Have you checked about it? If it is true then it could be sign for appreciation.
see SS u have to think about yourself, where u r working, r u interested in project(as per plan etc)., about future no one can say surely it will developed 2-3 year or 6-7 year.
but ur comparison with pre launch offer, is not correct , i seen such project in bangalore they launched toady morning and all booked in two hours. it’s nothing but a false impression to customer and he will take wrong decision in hurry.
any way it’s ur wish where u have to go every body have own prospect, u see ur prospect.
Seems attractive for price…but, Isn’t too far from EC? Any one had visited d construction place?
Hi, Yes everyone might have different opinion on the same thing and this is why we all are here to share our concerns which might help others to take their decision. Though i am working close to Banarghatta Road which is far away ( DLF is around 25 KM from reliance Mart BG road) still why i am even thinking of this project is just because in this project i am looking for investment purpose. Since in and around to DLF project lots of IT and other Manufacturing Industries are there ( which has +/- both) so might be in future i can get good VFM (may be i am so positive on this).
I have visited the site as well, the Phase 1 is already delayed around 1 year but now DLF has changed his construction partner to L&T so might be they could deliver the Phase to on time( not very sure). anyways thanks to all of you for contributing your input….
everybody has already stated that there are concerns in term of this not being a favourable investment ! SS you are too opiniated and have already made up your mind …..i am sure u must be disappointed to not see anybody gung ho about this project …which i am sure your pre opiniated mind was wanting .
@SS
Dont get misled and confused, You have made correct decision. Phase 1 was sold out.
How many Project in agalore of this scaled gets sold out within a year. So its just that few 5 ppl in the forum are intelligent and rest 700 ppl who booked are fools.
Some ppl here are just showing there knowledge!!!. Ask these ppl to suggest a project within the range and see the answer.
Phase 2 launched at Rs 3600 sqft. Is it confirmed?
3600 INR in Jigani …15 kms from electronic city behind an industrial zone is laughable ! i wish all to do good due diligence before investing !! very limited upside ….electronic city is still struggling after 10 years what will happen in jigani industrial area 15 kms furthur ahead and that too in the middle of nowhere … i suggest morth bangalore as every builder worth its weight is going north !!
Guess u r are some sales person dealing with North bangalore area.
have u ever been to Jigani?
area where this project is located, there land price is too low. better to bet on land in this area.
Mr SAMAR !
Pls dont guess use your conviction if any . Also this forum is for sharing information and views so pls dont pollute it with your “no real value accusition ” posts that i am a “salesman for north bangalore”.
well i dont want to and will not enter into a bandying words with you contest unfrotunately it will lower my demeanor as i have contributed significantly to this forum.
As for your second question: have i been to jigani …well yes and i have a comment there are 2 ways of holding a conversation one is to be factual and agrgue based on facts and figured and play on your strenths the other one is to “accuse and slander” which is the one you have chosen unfortunately .
till such time you are most welcome to get a referral check done on me …god bless …lol
Hello,
It seems that from 1st July onwards, the price has been officially increased to 2800/- per sqft.
Well now it’s questionable if it makes sense to buy this property at this price and that far off from city limits?
Just checked in the website…..yep, the price has been increased to 2800/sqft.
Hi
I am planning to buy 3 BHK @ 43 L All inclusive only for investment purpose. Will this property appreciate significantly? Is this metro going 2 come ever? this is supposedly last flat available. South facing. Is it worth going for?
it’s a phase wise project, lot’s of flat will come again, if even they r telling these r last flats available. it’s a well known builder strategy nothing else.
so no need to take decision in hurry.
Metro will come but by 2017 as per the projection and going by what has happend in Gurgaon the price should appreciate .
Can anyone tell me the exact location from Shopper Stop Banerghatta Road.
Google Directions Link
Very soon the price is going to be 2800/- per sq feet and now except some 40 units the entire project is sold out.
Did the builder come and tell you that they have only 40 apts left? 🙂 Its not good to spread misinformation.
Yes i have checked with Mr.Umesh Mareketing head DLF Bangalore.
I am surprised he didnt say ..”its nearly sold out”..!! Cheap marketing tactics to pressurize poor ignorant souls.
there is nothing pressurize, its finally our wish to buy or not.
I booked the flat in nov 2011 for 2BHK, price was 2350 now its gone high. Its finally individual intention to book or not.
My intention is mainly go stay there, so i did not think much and booked it.
sanjay entire project layout is not even available with DLF, then how u can be….
LOL
plz be conscious on commenting…..
and about marketing people,
they r the biggest fool making machine from builder side,
even project will launch today,,, they will tell all sold out…
not his mistake,,,, they r paying for these things only….
plz see older comments, i don’t think they r able to sell as u r telling…
u note my point and see, in some month they will launch new phase 2 or 3 whatever, in this old and new flats will available.
This project is extremely far off & the nearby areas are only Industries & IT companies. Not even a single hotel or mall is around. They say that it will be a township but in how many years???
Moreover the rate is too high compared to other projects in the vicinity. At that price one can purchase a own site & build a bungalow.
2bhk flat has a dismal floor plan with lot of wastage in area. 3bhk has dining & kitchen as entrance which is not preferred.
Overall not recommended for people going for 1st house.
Hi Everybody

on DLF website current rate is listed as 2660/qsft, is there any real estate agent offering less than this?
The price is expected to increase any moment.Hence if you are planing to book book it asap otherwise you will end up paying more.
this guy sanjay, seems to be a dlf guy
As far as i know there are no dealers, its dealt directly from DLF.
Hi Guys,
I am planning to buy a 2bhk flat in DLF Maiden Heights.
Can you guys please share about the various things I have to be aware before approaching them?
This is my 1st property which I will be buying.
How should I choose the location, floor, view of the flat?
What rate per square feet we can expect if we sell after the construction is complete?
If you can suggest some other better projects which I can invest in Bangalore?
no body is sharing about recent updates, what is the preent status?
Work is going slow!, there is huge different in Carpet area of 2 bhk in catalog , which is shown in catalog & printed in agreement copy . Finally you are ending up in getting just less than 70% carpet area only . Tried many times to contact DLF office on this , But no response . 66 sft of carpet area is eaten up from what they shown in Catalog / floor plan in net ( In beginning – Now it is removed). It is a huge loss for all 2BHK booking customers .
Arul, any idea about 3BHK apartments , what is the status on it.
I think this problem is only in 2 BHK . Any way pl check your carpet area as per floor plan given to you . It must be minimum 75% + on salable area .
what is the future potential of dlf maidenheights, in delhi dlf projects have undergone good appreciation. if metro route in phase 2 comes in nearby area will have strong impact
It is not clear from your mail. If the super area is 100, the carpet area is likely to be between 70 to 75% depending upon various factors like, common facilities, etc. Will you please elaborate your assumptions as to how you arrived at such conclusions when the construction is still in progress?
You know some people come here just to write some negative comments about the project.Some will come for advocating other projects.
I guess what DLF has done is called “architectural adjustments” builders play around with this they increase your sellable area and no effect on u r carpet area ! as somebody stated the legal agreement actual carpet area has been tampered with wrt the brochure design and the builder buyer agreement sent for signing actually shows the carpet area smaller than promised !
hi
planning to book dlf maiden heights anybody can help with some sugessions
i am also planning to book dlf madien heights 2BHK…plz suggest..
Base on the suggestions of great people i did not book at 2285 waited for correction.Now it is 2800 don’t know what to do.Should have booked in October.
Just returning from the site.Not too far compare to the price they were offering at that time
it is advisable for 2800 now?
Hi Ryan
All I can advise you that, Its never late but the beauty of the price of 2800 is that now you have multiple option at the same price, lit Presteg PT, Brigade Tranquility, and many other launches.
At the earlier price of DLF 2285. It was the only option, hence too many confusions which might have let you to this situation.
If i were in you place then I would have looked at the rate of 2800, which I think its is okey dokey price with the way real estate price is increasing in Bangalore, Believe me there will never be downward trend in Price.
Just see the ground reality now, Any good bulder in Bangalore is asking of 3000+ price. Shobha now a days have stopped talking abt less that 3500. Same with Nitesh, purva, mantri and so on.
Whenever you are looking for any project look for the plan, Bigger the plan better the value,
njoy
Nixcy
price still is 2660 and if u will read this blog fully and carefully then sure u wouldn’t compare with other projects….and will get to know 2660 base price only, when u will go final deal, it’ll much more…
and i don’t know may be i’m wrong, but i seen offers(funny one) and advertisement for DLF maiden height only in papers, prestige is not giving any ad, so in common sense DLF is struggling to sell… just go through with all comments…
As I know DLF has around 80 acres of land in this place and the present project is being executed as the first phase. Once this project comes up they will start the second phase, so on and so forth and all the new phases will be at higher prices to the advantage of DLF as well as existing apartment owners. Since the approvals etc are given by town planning authorities, there cannot be any ambiguity and we need not worry about.
ur comment is similar to DLF executive… big builder can pass any plan, i want to know what is the plan….
still i’m waiting for answer…
You too sound like some sales guy from other Builders.
Please visit the site and you will get your answer
dear sam, i visited but not able to get answer
dear sam, sumit is right,i visited the site but not able to get answer
You will never get any answer from any one. For that matter, even DLF may not know the answer since approvals are obtained in phases and may undergo changes.
Sam – If I understand Sumit correctly, he wants to know the green area for the entire 80+ acres of land that will be impossible to know. Builders develop in phases and depending upon market conditions, it may be commercial or residential and if so villas or apartments
yea correct Ram, but problem with DLF executive is he don’t want to tell this thing also.
any way i want to know full layout plan where every thing well mentioned because i want to take for living purpose and i don’t know here, how layout will take shape.As i seen other builders like shobha, prestige etc, they r giving full flashed layout plan(in some project, not in all).
Hey Guys,
I’m from Gurgaon, have seen DLF since 2003.
In today’s date DLF & Unitech are the most unreliable companies in North India. They have huge debts on them.
It’s share price touched 1200 INR once and now no-one wants to buy it for Rs 150 even.
Here DLF is famous for making false promises to the customers and also for not paying any penalties for delays etc, whatsoever mentioned in the contract, they twist the townplanners and other govt orgs with their smallest finger.
Recently they have lost a INR 630 Cr case against their ‘Belair’ project on golf course road in gurgaon, and still they haven’t shed a single penny to the apt buyers even after the high court ruling.
DLF is also famous for not leaving any green open area for playing etc, rather they make pigeon-hole type flats where all high rise buildings would not have any space in-between. Ya, if you’d look at the luxury apartments which they have started building since 3-4 years, they are quite spacious but again out of reach for a mango-man like us.
And, the apartment prices are not controlled by us, they are extorted by NRI investors and the dealer cartel, when you’d go to buy it’ll always be Rs 100-200 extra from the last enquired price and when you’d go to sell it, you wont get your price. That’s the reality.
Finally, I bought an apartment in Vatika, where the carpet-super wastage was not more than 15%, as it was a low-rise row-house, unlike DLF who would always make high-rise and worst designs with 30-35% wastage.
Now after 3 years I’m looking for an investment to repay my home loan, and bumped into this thread. Thanks for reading…
Regards
I booked a flat in DLF Maiden Heights a week ago and al though i will have to wait for at least 2 years, i think it will be a good investment. From what i have heard, i have reason to believe that DLF will not mess up this project and delay its handover. The success of this project will mean that DLF may actually get a firm foothold in the Banaglore retail landscape.
I booked a lake facing appartment.. not quite sure why the lady was insistent on selling me that.
What price they are offering now ?
it is good . i have also booked in G-block
rajeev
price is still 2660 , i don’t know where the info comes about 2800.
Hello,
I’m getting a DLF West End flat (Bannerghatta Road) around 3600 sq ft leading to a total cost of ~55L. for a 2BHK. Not sure if this is a good deal or is this overpriced.Also are their chances of further appreciation or this is it? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance
it is a fair deal and price will definitely rise to around 4800- 5000 in the next 2 yrs time frame.
Hi Vinit, Is it resale apt or directly from builder. Even i talked to one of sales executive, said only 3bhk available
It is a resale. Thanks for the inputs.
Most of the people here only writing about the extra charges about DLF but forget to write what others builders are offering in that area.
Most of the Builders in that area are asking in the range of 3000 with lots of hidden charges which u will come to know once u pay the booking amount atleast for DLF its all clear on paper what ever they are charging.
most of the Builder cheats in area which they will increase to more atha 10%(SuperBuiltup area) without increasing the carpet area. DLF dont do that
there is a saying Hammam mai sab ….. hain. u have to choose from them only
This is the Beauty of indian realestate sector.
in this area(behind DLF) mainly villa project is available because land price is very low,as my research no one builder asking for 3000 in this area, plz mention the name of builder and project.
yea if u r comparing banarghatta road or kanakpura road project then definitely u r only doing mistake. and u have to compare same standard project, as if u will compare this project with shobha forest view(for example) who is coating more than 3000, then again u r wrong because this flat r luxury and in different location.
about super built up area, u done any research?? as per me it’s about all good builder providing 70 to 75% carpet area. and it’s very for all as per the project also.
villa projects which are avaialble in that belt marketed by artha properties ( TOI Group) and also Brick Field Shelters. they are all small time builders and you never know when they deliver the projects and also The quality of bigger builders are much better than small builders.Lnad is cheap agreed but you dont know the lagalities of those land and there is no comparision between those small villas and gated community.If you want to live – apartment is anyday better due to its secure env and proper facilities. Most of the villa project will never give you all the facilities they promise. To develop and staying in those villas, it will take approx 5 years
Also investing in small builders are of huge risk. Your money is safer, comparatively, with better branded names.
DLF brand is too big for these small time developers to be compared with
dont compare this project with SOBHA FOREST VIEW, their Base price is 4000 and other charges extras as usaual.
when the consstruction for any project is 80% completed and builders recovers the total price from customers than they start doing these things to recover more money from customer and easiest way is to increase the super builtup area without increasing the carpet area.
see, it’s depend upon individual, some people think flat is good, some people feel villa is good and more open…. it’s individual mentality.
But in terms of investment and return after 5 year(ROI),in any case, villa is much better than flat, no doubt on this….
and flat start depreciating after possession(i want to say about building) but this is not case with villa, cuz full land is with u.
yea u r right if u r dealing with small builder(but some satisfactory name is also available as JR group villa is available there), then u have to inquire about land owner, registration,DC conversion etc from registration office. U have to put ur own effort but it’s small deal if u r saving lot of money and will get appreciation in future which u will not get in this flat as price is already higher side, and flat will not appreciate so much compare to villa.
about 5 year, this flat is also not smoothly livable before 5 year.
and as i read it comment, who already dealt with DLF. May be u will get chance in future to say again that “saying is Hammam mai sab ….. hain.” about hidden charges.
i just calculated carpet area in DLF for 2BHK, 921Sqfeet(SBA) flat and found carpet area is 641.96 sq-feet.
so carpet area is 69.70% only.
Carpet area wise i found shobha is good, they given 72 to 73 % at least.
DLF has confirmed that the carpet area for this project is 75% whereas for West end heights it is 69%.
u calculate yourself dear, just take floor plan from DLF site and calculate.
i calculated for 2 bhk 921sqfeet….
http://www.dlf.in/dlf/wcm/connect/Residential/homes/residential/projects/premium+homes/maiden+heights,+bengaluru/floor+plans+-+maiden+heights,+bengaluru
If they are saying like that as u told means they r saying in another words whatever floor plan they putted on site, they are wrong.
just tell him like that and let me know the answer.
What is price per sq ft now?
2475/- per sq feet
Hi Sanjay, Hi Priya,
Me and my friends both are planning to buy a 2 BHK. But recently I read a lot of controversies about DLF. Please see the links below
http://dlfkadhoka.blogspot.com/2011/01/dlf-cheating-people-in-indore.html
http://www.indianrealestateforum.com/gurgaon/t-dlf-plots-sector-73-gurgaon-35k-per-sq-yard-13820-page27.html
there are many more…..Just do a google search
After reading all this, I am very nervous to go for a DLF stuff.
On the other hand DLF is or was a very good brand name and as some people have posted in this column before, re-sale value appreciation is very high.
Regarding the Maiden Heights Project, has the construction began? when does DLF promise to complete the project? there seem to be a lot of new charges like IIDC, blah blah which i have never heard before. all this easily adds upto 5-7 lakhs for any apartment.
Also from Google search I found out that DLF can increase these extra charges anytime. is this true? Are all the charges final and fixed during the booking of the apartment? if not then what are the charges that can change?
Regards
Abhi
This is the beauty of Indian real estate sector.you name a builder and you will find lots of complaints against that builder.
Overall, investing in real estate is bit risky,with all builders ready to grab every penny in your pocket and dlf is not any exception .yes the chances of cheating is more with under constructions than ready to move.At the end scale is always in favour of the builder and hapless consumer is helpless.
Maiden Heights construction already started coz they need money.
Delay in any project starts once the building structure is ready and builder recover almost 90% of the cost.
This is the case with all builders.
The Only advantage with DLF is the cost. Even after adding so many extra charges,price is very competitive.
In newly launched projects however builder will say that they will give possession in Dec 2013 but practically it will not be before Dec 2014 .
as that side land price is not high, that’s why, then even prices is high side for small area. and main thing, don’t know about full layout plan, so it’s hard to justify this price also.
u r right abhi, as above news about dlf indore is confirmed news as my mother from indore. and indore local news paper this news came and even after that previously DLF planning to launch 2 nd phase there but after this controversies they r not able to find sufficient person for buy, and dropped that plan.
not even there my father very much badly suffered from DLF west delhi project. and even still suffering. now DLF is a pathetic builder.
see, i don’t want to hurt anyone, as i know who invested in DLF maiden height they will feel bad, even i felt bad when we initially listen bad about delhi project, when my family booked, even we r only arguing with people that “no dlf is a big and good builder, it’s good etc etc,” but when we only suffered then i were literally laughing on my thinking just due to my selfishness, i only advocating for builder from others( unnecessary),who will not take side for any.
so here is not about emotion, if we suffered then we have to guide other.
yes and ur search about extra charges is absolutely right.
i will appreciate DLF here in bangalore atleast he mentioned lot’s of extra charges, in delhi they mentioned initially few extra charges and latter they put.
and who r booked here plz arrange 2-3 lakh extra minimum, any hidden charges will come any time. u remember my this point, it’ll become true.
My Advice go for FD and other sort of things.Real estate is not for the people who dont want take any risk.
As far as ethics of business is concerned I am yet to come across any company which is 100% ethical
So No point in blaming DLF or any other compaies.
Come to Gurgaon still DLF is enjoying the highest premium in all over Gurgaon.
I am from Gurgaon. From my experience DLF is a much better builder than others. Extras are a part of their marketing strategy. I insisted for a lower floor and didn’t pay floor raise charges. Instead of criticizing, the best course would be to add all extras and compare with other builders. IDC means internal development charges, EDC means external development charges (paid to Haryaya) I am sure something equivalent must be payable in Karnataka. Sapana – one end you are saying no takers. If that be so, how come DLF has increase the prices twice within a short period of 3, 4 months? In Gurgaon DLF is considered premium and no one has lost any money. Rather investors have made money in DLF properties.
You are correct
i stayed in gurgaon for 5 yrs(South city-2/dlf phase-1)
Dlf was much better than unitech.some of my friends family booked plots in DLF in 80’s for 2- 3lacs now worth in crores
before criticizing DLF let them come to gurgaon and see what DLF has done for Gurgaon
small builders in electronic city areas are charging more than DLF maiden heights.
ram, u have a good exp. with DLF , lot’s of people have same favor for DLF as you, but like me and sapana lot’s of people is also available who felt cheated from DLF,
about increment in price, it’s builder strategy, increase the price and create a bubble and doubt in customer mind, in marketing terms we r saying This could give investors a false impression …
and these simple, beautiful and very much benefit giving strategy following by all builder, u can see other project is also increased price, ramkey 50rs, prestige 100rs, brigade 75, shobha city also…etc.
yea sam u r correct gurgaon is much developed by DLF or what is correct to say DLF is much earn or developed by gurgaon.
and as well as DLF is sharing also most cases about bad construction, hidden and extra charges, cheating with customer etc in gurgaon. google it.
and in 80’s whoever purchased flat(mostly land) in gurgaon from DLF or any builder, it’s previously merely some thousands, it’s on corores now so, it’s not about builder, it’s about indian growth and population.
even my uncle purchased in 90 flat in gurgaon merely in some lakhs. now it’s in corores but then even they r not happy with DLF. and initial reason is behind that.
yea that’s correct DLF is much better than unitech in straight comparison.
i booked flat in DLF,today my friend called DLF(for price confirmation),then interesting talk happen,by this also i ‘m little worried,
brief is, first price they r coating 2660 rs sq/feet. but when he called that price is going higher side for me(after adding all charges), then he told, sir we will give lower floor flat. non corner,south etc..
my friend discussed about charges that IDC, IBMS, IBMS for advanced maintenance charge, little worry about IDC/EDC this charges in Hariyana only, as here in karnataka no any charges(as per my search),
dlf sales executive(mr. balakrishna) told same it’s gov. charges but, he told also registration, service tax, VAT is different then what else????
then at last my friend told it’s even higher side, he can’t buy then he(sales man) told sir come to office, we will negotiate…
as i listen big builder will not negotiate but here they r ready.
so i l’m force to think ramesh comment “price hike could give investors a false impression”, it’s right.
But for DLF, Gurgaon wouldn’t have been what it is today. Similarly DLF wouldn’t have been this big but for Gurgaon. People bought apartments despite their one sided agreement and that installments were never linked to construction progress (till 2009 meltdown) DLF does offer penalty of Rs.5/10 per sq ft / month for delays in completion over 3 years. It may be notional but I don’t know how many builders offer such penalty?
Unitech did follow DLF foot steps and created beautiful South city 1 & 2 in Gurgaon. They are presently in serious financial difficulties (perhaps 2G) and several of their projects are delayed considerably and remain as work in progress.
i came back and seen lot’s of discussion happen on my comments. see first i want to say thanks who support me, and i have a full support to them also who r not against me.
we r here for sharing the own feeling and experience,
guys this facility is not available previously so people r separated they have no unity.so builder were playing with customer, now u all r aware with my exp. and alert so it’s good for u only.
see why m i wasting here time, for u guys only, cuz i want awareness should be there, else i’m not getting any money or favor from any one.
here in this sector all builder is “chor”(thief). we have to fight with them.
and plz u can’t say.. “chor to sabhi he, to hum jo kam chor he uski taraf jayenge.”
what is this adjustable mentality.
see as aashin told(thanks aashin), i’m just sharing my exp. honestly as i have no any personal favor for any one as in our life we can do such huge investment one time or two times(hardly), so i can not share for any other for whom i don’t have any exp.
sorry, one funny mistake is there in my line..
“i have a full support to them also who r not against me”.
it should be read like that..
“i have a full support to them also who r against me”
Effective today the price has been increased from 2475 to 2660.New 3 BHK units are also avialbale for sale.
Any idea when are they starting 2nd phase?
Looks like they are already selling the next phase
DLF is a premium builder from north India previously but as i read it about DLF in news paper, high court put penalty on builder of corores rupees for irregularity and delay on project and not maintained the quality on construction.
DLF slapped Rs 630 crore fine, relief for buyers – India News – IBNLive

Looks like Swapna has invested in prestige tranquility, hence trying out hard to make DLF look dwarf.
Ppl have the reasons to invest in DLF.
The fact is with so many real estate developers, DLF is known name. So it is earned name.
Each company has litigation, its just that DLF made news because of the penalty money, but then you have to give them credit that there projects costing are huge hence even penality is big.
but then this doesnot degrade the deliverable from DLF.
funny really, neither DLF is my cup of tea nor Prestige owner my relatives, this forum for share the points, if u have a point share it…. this only i’m doing. yea personally i’m not in favor of DLF as my father is the badly suffered from DLF in west delhi project. his marketing guys are big lier and nobody listen to you in DLF office. they are such person who don’t bother about customer.
IT doesn’t means Prestige is good, but DLF sure not at all,
proceed…. u itself will tell in future….
and leave it all things , whatever i told i made point… not simply told… u make counter point… then it’ll be healthy discussion… for this we are here,
dude, we are investing here, it’s our hard earn money, we should know each point it’s good or bad whatever….
at last it’ll effect to you and me only, not DLF or PRESTIGE….
Well I see one swapana as member in Prestige tranquility, I hope its not you.
by your answer above
Yes Narendra
Sahi jawab. Angoor khattein hain(Grapes are sour)
See the link
http://www.hindu.com/2008/10/24/stories/2008102458730100.htm
yea, this is the counter point, that’s i like. narendra learn from Sam.
any way Sam,Angoor khattein ek kahawat hai aur yaha bilkul bhi suit nahi karte, as already lot’s of Angoor is available.
any way Angoor se hi, all angoor have a own type of sourness but we have to decide which side sourness is little and in future we will get sugar.
Future belongs to rajapura
hope so… then i’ll be most happy, i have a land near by khb city,
Anybody knows whats the current price going on for this project ?? I called an agent told me can get it for 2300/sqft ?
instead try with DLF directly.if that agent can give u 2300 u might get less than 2000 direct with DLF
try your Luck
Interesting ….
Looks like recession is there … 😉
Sahi kah rahe ho bhai saheb
bahut hi bhayanak recession hai
Sam you r absolutely right, heavy recession is there. they r not able to sell. It’s confirmed by when they given Ad in TOI that “special Tribute offer for defence and gov. employ” and this offer is for all except those person who is working for pvt firms.
Moron, funniest line is this on Ad “it’s time we return the favour to those who serve the nation selflessly”
ha ha ha, oh my god, give tribute to defence and paramilitary forces,i can understand but for central and state gov., bank , PSUs,railways employs are they working selflessly?? in which sense. yea definitely in marketing sense.
It’s true they know very well even if they put offer for defence only then even they can’t sell, so as marketing sense it’s fine. but what about people who booked on higher price, it’s purely cheating. even defence, bank , psu person who booked previously. they also felt cheated (more).
and why only pvt sector they ignore, just they have to add in line salaried person, by that we can understand(at least)they want to encourage real buyers not investors.
and then plz don’t ignore *terms and condition line
“offer can withdraw any time without prior notice”.
means if they will get good response and they r able to hit target then they suddenly put full stop in this offer.
DLF is a big builder, he can wait for sell in spite of cheating old customer, shame.
Here comes one more from swapana.
You give her chance to speak abt DLF and she will leave no stone unturned.
Its human nature to dive in the sea of negativity when so many positives are there.
What ever may be the reasons but atleast DLFis giving discount even though their rates are less than their peers, They offer Early payment rebate and timely payment rebate much more than what even bank gives, which other builder doesnt bother. but still we talk about DLF charging extra in the name of one thing or other. But the question is are they justified incharging?? and this is subjective point and varies from ppl to ppl.
We can always argue that why DLF is charging more when land price is less in that area, But isnt this true with all the builders include PT. Just glance through the projects in around Devanahalli where the project cost is more than imagination, and DLF is not even there.
Swapana wake up, Get real!! The first fruit that you taste and if it turns out to be sour doesnot mean that fruits are sour.
I think Narendra is a sales executive for DLF. narendra u have to wake up not sapana dare to see the truth.
she is honestly sharing own feeling, what is wrong in that, if u don’t want to listen,please don’t come to such forum but please don’t demoralize other, who honestly want to guide others. i recently searching about DLF maiden height on net and stuck to this forum.
sapana made whatever point about (stilt) open prking, extra charges, mainly for corner and east, north , IIDC etc, even i surprised, and it’s true as i contacted DLF.
where is she wrong?
and what u r telling it’s funniest that “What ever may be the reasons but atleast DLFis giving discount ”
DLF doing cheating with old customer and u r saying it’s right.
yea i agree, she is little bit harsh about DLF and reason is behind that but u can not disagree with her point which is very much valid.
we want such person in forum who will tell truth from previous experience.
narendra, simple person learn from own experience but smarty learn from other experience. try to be smart. or may be now u have no chance.
sorry,this is not about to hurt u but don’t demoralize other, if they r doing right thing, unless no need for such forum.
Very hot discussion is going on, people literally fighting. but better it’s limited to healthy discussion, should not be personal.
any way, i bit agree with aashin…
i listen DLF ready to negotiate also. 100 rs sq ft they told me on phone. it’s possible to more. any input from others.
@ Aashin
Ok aashin I take back my comments in public interest.
I am not a DLF rep for sure, but then why one sided thread. I say forget DLF and take any of the builder of your choice and see what they charge and what discount they give. Over the time our mindset has changed in such a way theat even if something is good we tend to look the other way. My post were not specific to DLF alone but Swapanas were only against DLF, If she wants to enlighten the forum about this then compare it with other builders you name. I know there are ppl who have burnt there fingers with DLF but then there must be many more ppl who would be satisfied also.
But I am sure the same story goes with all other builder also.
In India there is no real estate regulation, hence bulders has the advantage and its upto us for find Andhon main kaana raja.
i compare with other builder like brigade, shobha, prestige etc. all r charging for
floor and premium view charges,but corner and east west i seen in dlf only. other charges like (IIDC etc),i don’t know, so i can’t say about it and in PT prestige is not charging for club, strange for me. but that location is not in my radar, and last thing which i felt bad and literally stopping to go for this project that car parking is open.
hi all..yes i feel DLF is charging some extra charges in the name of open parking etc. But we cannot call it cheating, since they have declared it in their cost details..there is no hidden charges..so the option is with you..i think its fair deal
nobody told it’s cheating, people did comparison with other builder. that’s it.
sam is it really less than 2000 directly from DLF…if yes…please give me the sales person contact number
http://www.dlf.in
u will find the contact us Tab there. contact them
Parvez please let me know if you have any success. my email id is
Hi Can you give the name/ contact of the agent. The chances are that you’ll get discount from agents and not DLF directy. Because agents pass a portion of the bulk booking discount they get from the builder.
Hi Everybody,
Thank you.Very good analysis and reviews.
There is yahoo groups about updates and details for this project.

With the cabinet clearing the metro 2nd phase from R.V.Road to Bommasandra the price is set to rise over a period of time.
Builder is playing with full form……………
View Charges (Per Sft) – Lifestyle- Rs.100 / Premium – Rs.50 / Standard – Nil
Orientation Charges (Per Sft) – Corner – Rs.25 / Non Corner – Nil
he didn’t left chance to charge corner with east face with door facing, what a business mind, awesome
Door Facing Charges (Per sft) – East – Rs.50 / North & West – Rs.25 / South – Nil
IBMS – Rs.50 Per sft ????? what is this new charges
IIDC – Rs.50,000/- per unit????? what is this new charges
every one talking base prise, how many will get on base prise, base prise is just for marketing… u will never get.. as they have another option to increase the prise…..
even car parking is also open…
i never expected from DLF or he is not bother about Bangalore as he is A one builder of New Delhi…
but here i don’t what he is giving ….
even i enquired about land prise there area u will get easily land 600-900 rs sq feet…. better to invest on land… because u r investing here atleast for 4-5 year then after u build ur own house on that land… it’ll cheap, more valuable.
these charges are everywhere even Prestige charge all these charges in addition to the PLC.
these are the tactics used by all builders and DLF is no exceptional.
u wont get fully cleared ttile land in that price in that area and certainly apartment is much better than small houses when it comes to security and all services which you enjoy in a gated community
yea floor charges and premium view charges is there, but door facing east(it’s different from premium view) and orientation charges as corner it’s new and telling by builder that “dear u take any flat but u have to give extra money, and saying himself, happy selling” .
see lot’s of land is near by lot’s if layout also just u have to search.. and yea u have to search about title also from registration office because that builder is small and fish things can be there but if u will purchase less then half this prise and that is also land… for that if u have to put ur own effort, then even it’s much fair deal in comparison to purchasing in double tripple price… else u pay extra(lot’s of) if u don’t want to put ur effort, it’s ur decision, but what benefit u will get on land that u will not get here..
Is there any google group for this project.
Yes i had created recently Owner can join ,link for the same is
http://groups.google.com/group/dlf-maiden-heights-rajapura
Current email address:
any one know, seen charges,or simply running without thinking, DLF charging for car parking event that is stilt means it’s open , common area, any one know how much open space in area or DLF will simply launch pahse 1,2 ,3 …. and at last he will in profit of millions no may be billions and we r sitting in concrete forest that’s it…
Open, stilt parking spaces are common areas, builders can’t charge extra: SC
Flat purchasers need not shell out extra money from their savings to buy parking spaces, both open and closed, from property developers at the time of sale.

Hi, Can any one pls let me know whats the Net Price ( Including all Charges except registration ) for a 2 Bedroom Appartment.
Hi Prem,
I would be very dificult to giv you exact amount however one should have atleat 6 to 7 lakh of cash and then apply for loan for the rest of amount. Pricing will depend on the floor rise. first 5 floors are free from any price change on floor rise. Approx the flat will cost you 32Lac.
can you please tell me what is the per sq ft price.
the new rate is 2475. One of my friend approached for a 2 BHK but they said rate is no negotaible.
Still at 2475 its a good deal
From Next week they are going to increase the price to 2615.
Any Idea when they are launching another phase of 10 acres?
What is the source of this increased price.
hi harsha,
Any idea about metro coming up in that area?
Thanks.
Vikram
The price is expected to increase from Monday
1)What is the distance from Majestic.
2)How far from the 2nd phase of Metro?
3)what is present status of the project,construction started?
The price has been increased from 2350 to 2375 effective today.
Sorry increased from 2350 to 2475 effective today.
BOOKED IT TODAY FOR rs 2250 PSFT….IT DEPENDS HOW U NEGOTIATE….SO THE PRICES ARE STILL LESS ONLY…
2250 or 2350/- ?
must be on the higher floor,where you have to pay more PLC.
2285 was the last price. we tried for block booking also but 2285 was the last price with 5th/6th/8th/9th Floor
Knightrider,
You mean you tried bulk booking for the 5th/6th/8th/9th floors and 2285/- was the negotiated last price and PLC extra or including PLC ?
When did you try this ? and what the nominally quoted price/ without negotiation at that time ?
No they dont Negotiate on the price.i was refering to Rahul who was telling he got it for 2250 which is not possible.
Now the rate is 2475.
they dont give any discount even if u go through directly or through some brokers
Can you please tell me the person or the contact from where you got the deal. I am also planning to buy in a block with a couple of friends.
Regards,
Sarika
The price shoould be 2350 and no deal has happened less than 2285 and with DLF the price is absolutely fixed.I have a booked an unit with DLF west end heights also and as a group we apprached DLF but they were not willing ro give any discount on the officially announced price
Hello
So you booked on the lesser price than launching price 2285.
with whom you have negotiated with? Can you have direct number?
rahul, Can you please send me the details of the person with whom u have booked for lesser price
Absolutely crap. Nothing was offered below 2285. I booked it on the first day of its launch and really sad not to have booked a 3 BHK. If you compare the over all price than also its a better preposition in comparison to the other reputed builders.
Hi Harsha,
I need your suggestion on DLF maiden heights proj.
I have also seen Prestige Tranquilty. Please suggest which one will be good from appreciation point of view.
Regards,
Vikram
I think Maiden heights will be a better option.I have booked a 3 BHK unit with Maiden heights.Pls note no builder is giving at 2350 and prestige is at 2800.Also with the metro connectivity in Bommasnadra in IInd phase and a probable airport in Hosur you can bet on Maiden heights.
both project r in different area… south specially this side tamilnadu side, now gov is not interested, no gov plan will come that sure, however near PT bulk of gov project is coming and more will come. so where gov will interested that will develop fast no need to say..
boomsandra is near by DLF however PT also have two metro near by presently bypeenhalli starting point of metro… and road connectivity also good by 6 lane highway even now.in future is allready, declared whitefield metro which is near by PT. and which is not declared budigiri closure position to very big GOV project,so metro will come there itself. and for airport comparison hosur airport will same distance to DLF as for PT, BIA.it’s different thing when hosur airport will develope in 2020 or which side flight will get u. station is near by u but ur train should be go from there. any way even if u will work in electronic city inly then u can invest on DLF , it’ll good
Here is a similar query: http://harshasagar.com/2011/08/08/10-points-to-consider-before-investing-in-real-estate-by-jayesh/comment-page-2/#comment-1041, DLF Maiden Heights price is attractive.
DLF maiden height prise attractive for whom, who didn’t see the extra charges, if u will calculate and will get full figure then this prises are no more attractive.
How far is the metro in Bommsandra going to be from this project.
boomsandra is very much far, in comparison whitefiled much near by to prestige tranquility
The price has already been appreciated by 200 and the new price is 2475 within 2 weeks of launch.
Also the initial launch of First cluster is almost sold out, with some 2 bhk’s left.
The price is still 2350.
I went for a site visit on 16-10-2011, the executive told me that all the 3BHk(around 70-80 units) has been booked ,for phase 1, within 8 days of its launch.
Current square feet charge which they are quoting is 2350.
Now only 2BHK’s are available for phase 1.What are the pros and cons of this project? For people working in HCL it may be a good buy as it is walking distance to HCL.
While walking around that place pungent smell was coming ,may be, due to the presence of
industries there.Is it a good project to invest?
government will not interested to develop south bangalore now, so for industry no any relaxation there as compare for north and east banglore is there. it’s the biggest drawback with this project.
Hi
I feel its very good investment or for living considering the type of builder and the development in that area.
Coming form DLF guarantees the quality and planning. regarding development, one has to go to this road Bommasandra-Jigni road to see the infrastructure. Then its location from this road. multiple roads to reach this address 1) via EC 2) via Hosur road (multiple connectivity) 3) from BG road. Too many gud prrojects going on , like Patels reality project, Hiranandani project.
Anyway DLF are know for township. This project itself is of 80 acres on which Maiden height is on 9 acres.
You always have options to go to any builder/developer. But bein a premium builder, which other premium builder that launched at this rate in present time. Prestege tranquility 2800 that too neara garbage dumpyard, Brigade meadows 2700 way out on kanakpura road, Mantri alpyne 2700. Atleast in this project the area is semi developed. If the area was developed then they woudnt have launched at this price.
Also from investment perspective, When the property appreciates, and when you want to sell, buyers always prefer to go with reputed builders when they have choice.
Overall I feel any project in this vicinity is very promising. Once ppl start to live many more required aminities will come up.
But this industrial area exists since long time and not much developed has happened here.
Sorry ..typo…But this industrial area exists since long time and not much development has happened here
DLF is a premium builder from north India prevously but as i read it about DLF in news paper, high court put penalty on builder of corores ruppes for irregularity and delay on project and not maintained the quality on construction.
DLF slapped Rs 630 crore fine, relief for buyers – India News – IBNLive
see the link
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/dlf-slapped-rs-630-cr-fine-relief-for-buyers/176447-3.html
Sapana – The fine is not due to quality. They delayed possession in couple of projects in Gurgaon and forfeited down payments to couple of guys. The home seeker association filed complaints against DLF in competition commission who slapped penalty considering the fact that DLF was dominant, etc. etc. During global melt down period 2008/09, DLF gave around 20% discount to retain their clients in Manesar, Chennai and Bangalore. DLF has learnt a big lesson and their recent projects in various places have been started after obtaining all approvals that were not the case before
HI
I visited the site today, not sure how much it will appreciate as it is pretty far & all industrial area. so my concern is what would be the growth of the area. Not many hospital, school near by area. please suggest.
Thanks
Yeah..growth wise, it all depends upon the govt. policies. It is in industrial area. So, in addition to HCL if one more big IT company come there, then it will be good.
this is just diagonally opposite to navya layout and seems to be good appreciating point….
When it will be launched.
Hi Manoj,
On occasion of Dussera the project has been launched today.
Regards,
Harsha
I am planning to buy but not very sure if this is a good location.please advice me If some one has visited this place.
I too wanted to buy…I heard its opposite to HCL Corporate office and biocon which itself may jack up the price in the future.
