Sovereign Builders (SDIL) is the most corrupt and cheat builder in Bangalore.They will first sell a flat to you at a comparatively lower rate so that you end up buying there. Then after sometime their tricks of looting money from you will start.
1. They will ask huge money out of the agreement for things like washing machine point (Rs 35000)(mandatory), merging flats (Rs 275000), removing wall between hall and kitchen (Rs 30000) (event before the wall is constructed) etc.
They will ask you to pay for grilling work etc at a very high rate (Rs 28000 per grill), and will tell you that if you don’t do the grill work now they would not allow it later.
After you have paid 90% of the construction cost to them, they will come up with a drama of escalation in the construction cost. They have asked every customer to pay as high as Rs 851000/-. They threaten to cancel your flat if you don’t pay the extortion money.
They also threaten that if you go to court and happen to loose the case, then you will have to pay additional amount of Rs 1200000/- . This way they threaten you so that you don’t go to court.
The project was supposed to be completed by Oct 2012, but it is still under construction. They have delayed it by 1 year already. Construction in some blocks are so far behind that it would not be delivered for another 1.5 years.
Once you get into their trap, they will try everything possible to rip your hard earned money. If you try talking to them, they will become very rude and starting shouting. No logic will work with them once they decide to loot your money. They are introducing a new trend of extorting money in Bangalore.
Don’t buy flats in their new projects like Sovereign Sonaa, Sovereign Lakeview etc. They will rip happiness out of your life.
