Frankly, I think a million times before making the smallest of the decisions. When my family decided to move from CA to somewhere near Chennai about 3 years ago because of my husbands job, I was a little worried about the neighbourhood. Initially we bought a property 6 kms from the OMR road, but near my husbands office.
We knew about the Hiranandani project near OMR road, but were worried that such a huge project must sure have lots of problems and I couldnt bear delay in any way in that urgent situation of moving from a country to another. 4 months after my moving into Chennai, I had once visited a colleague staying in the Hiranandani community and realised that it was really good.
Sure they came across a few problems like a delay in possession but I guess that is inevitable (which now we have realised after talking to a hundred people! and following various real estate forums), be it any project. Anyway, the lifestyle the House of Hiranandanis offer is beyond words. Really, a few visits to that colleagues place and we were very sure we would love to own a home in the Chennai House of Hiranandani community. Its 6 months now and we are staying happily than ever. Plus it is nearby my husbands office which helps him spend a lot of time with the family. The HUS school and playground facilities add cherry to the cake.
I understand there are a lot of problems in construction but you need to visit the place first and then take your call.
