I could not agree more with the reviews written about Jain Housing on Mouthshut. In short, THEY HAVE NO ETHICS.
My in-laws booked an apartment at Jains Nakshatra in Chennai. Jain housing committed to handing over the apartment in December 2008. It has not been handed over till date. The reason cited is "labor problems"!
Is that the customer’s problem? Can the customer tell them that he has a financial problem and hence will be able to pay him only after 2 years? These are some questions that Jains need to ask themselves. But they will not and do not care.
The most frustrating part of dealing with Jains is that whenever you require clarification they will transfer your call to the wrong person. He/she will tell you that he/she is not incharge of the project you are talking about and transfer you to the next person who will be unreachable because their line is busy, everybody else in the organisation is not aware of their mobile number, one of their relatives passed away and they will not be back for a week or they are sick.
The fact is that everybody from top to bottom in Jains is SICK(mentally) and nobody is in charge of anything. The funniest part of this whole scam is that if you need to ask somebody why they have not handed over your apartment as promised, after one year, you first need an appointment with these scamsters!
Jains will suck out all your money and then refuse to give you answers or even talk to you. Most builders, as far as I have seen(I’ve dealt with at least 3 big names) are unethical but jains tops them all.no doubt.
So what do you do? Before you buy an apartment, go to Mouthshut.com and read each and every review carefully before choosing to deal with a builder. Post your reviews about builders whom you have dealt with so that others can benefit from your experience.
