Re: Ambrosia - A Square Properties

Hi,

We have been having a lot of discussions with this builder. My thoughts -

Pros:
- Location: it is abt 500mts from OMR. This road is decent for now.. Govt. plans of 30 ft. road will be done in another few months. abt 3.2 kms from Shozhinganalur junction. Near to PSBB Millenium and Bala Vidya Mandir and all prominant IT companies.
- Number of flats 208 + club house amenities. Structure is partial stilt + 2 flrs only.
- There is less chances of rain water stagnating there because one side of this site if fields so all the water drains in there.
- Builder/ Owner (the managing directors) is aproacheable, based on my discussions so far.
- Security: The gate has a video phone connected to each flat. so the security lets in visitors based on your response on the video phone and uses Access card to open the main gate (this is what I understood). Each block has abt 8 flats or 12 flats (8 flats of blocks on one side and 12 flats on each block on the other side. each block will have a entrance door in the ground floor next to the parking area which can be opened using the access card only. so owners on one block cannot access the flats on the next block without the access card authorised to that particular block. I liked that.
- All their project has been delivered on time.. though they have much lesser number of flats in each of their project. But the recent project 'The trinity park' on Thoraipakam (168 flats + club) also is on schedule and will be delivered in Feb 2011. So most likely this project will be on schedule too.. delivery is Nov 2011. If they are delayed, they wil pay a rent of Rs. 7/- per sq.ft of the saleable area of the flat every month.
- Flats are vaastu compliant. and floor plan has very less wastage of space within the flat.
- The marketing manager doesnt come across as a person who can deal with customers. I took it up with one of the managing directors (MDs are brothers) and he was nice enough to spend lot of time with us and answered all our silly and difficult questions with enough clarity. He gave it all the clarifications in writting too.


Cons:
- It is only 3 acres of land - not sure if 208 flats will look congested in 3 acres.
- It has a 20 ft. road that runs from the main gate to the end of the campus (blocks are on either sides). I feel 20 ft. rd will look congested.
- The coming rainy season will show the true colors of the location in terms of water stagnation.
- abt 1 km beyond this site, on the same road divides to two road.. one leads right into Tsunami quarters (under construction) and then goes to DLF Garden city.. the other dividing road leads staright into Bollineni Hillside.
- They ask for 15% on booking.. which I felt was too high as the booking amount. Anyways we bought abt 2 weeks.
- They say they will give few choices for flooring, tiling, wall colours, etc.. They say they will record our Alterations and make it as per our choices.. But not sure if they will go by it for sure because there are a lot of chances that the choices gets mixed up or missed out.. but we can visit the site during those stages and make sure it is done as we specified.
- The marketing manager doesnt come across as a person to deal with customers. Anyways with my experience in my house search, I wouldnt like to believe marketing team blindly. I would have even ditched this project if I had any more discussions with him. If you have anyone in chennai to look at this property on your behalf, let them speak to the marketing people first and then to one of the MDs before you sign the deal.

(Edited to add) BTW, we booked in Ambrosia.. 2bhk + study. Shanthi - note the point! )

 

Re: Ambrosia - A Square Properties

hey P, nice to know you booked. yeah house hunting is a tedious job.. I am glad we zeroed down to this one finally.. not that this project will be a perfect one.. but there will be challenges in every housing project.. I am only hoping this one will have lesser challenges. so your workplace is in OMR? do you have children? which block did you book in? yep, I am gonna be in this thread often. do update me if you have any extra info abt this project.. other than what I posted already.
