Not all companies maintain their reputation. Sobha developers belong to those kinds of firms who leverage the reputation they earned in the past for profiteering. The place where I booked(Sobha Iris), they delayed the handover by 2 years, on top of it they haven’t paid any penalty . They cited a reason saying we selected non standard tiles for bath rooms.
We have paid 42K per month as pre-emi for extra 2 years, just calculate the kind of cost escalation.
Thats not cheating anyway, believe me. the fun started later: They suddenly tripled water connection charges, doubled electricity connection charges, they intimated this when we are about to register the Flat. We believed in Sobhas lie that the connection charges have gone-up, more over we were in Hurry to finish the registration and get the posession as it delayed nearly 2 years. They havent given any bills for those connection chanrges inspite of several people demanding for it. Later one Gentleman from our owner Association went to Water Board & Electicity Board and collected all the information via RTI(RIght to Information Act). We found Sobha lied to us and charged 3 time and 2 times more for Water and Electricity connections, they made 8 crores just like that.
People are in wrong impression that sobha gives high quality; I did not find it in reality. The floor tiles they laid are at uneven level. Even after complains they rectified few highly uneven tiles but rest left as it is. Water wes leaking in our bath room from top on the day of handover. There is one block where the Sewage pipe which runs through the whole block ruptured. Sobha means Substandard
Looks like the management is very greedy, they offer less salaries and wages to the employees and laborers. So they are not able to retain people. Huge attrition.
