Lot of you must be considering to buy apartments, house or plot of land. The focus here is on Bangalore.
These days, business has taken precedence over everything else. Builder reputation is not the only factor you can rely on any more.
There is lot more to consider and each buyer goes through an almost unique experience. Some very good, some normal, some very bad.
The irony is that, every new buyer has to go through the same curve without the knowledge and experience of previous buyers' who are abundant in the market.
I was going through one of the review sites - mouthshut.com to see how much of guidance it can provide to someone who wants to buy a new property.
The result is disappointing. You can see some of the sampling results below. The major draw backs are, there are not enough reviews. Out of these reviews, some of them are fake reviews which further dilutes the value of such feedback. And most of them are giving negative reviews.
With so many sales of apartments, the number of people satisfied and dissatisfied must be higher. I was thinking why such low reviews?
I then compared with some mass, everyday product reviews on the same site. For example, KPN Travels Bangalore, Kallada Travels Bangalore, Maruti and Prerana motors. The consumers in these segments are in bulk and hence there should be lot more of satisfied and dissatisfied customers.
However, the results were similar for these segments as well - very low number of reviews.
Therefore, there is a need for other reliable review sites about builders which can guide new buyers with more data points. Everyday, a large number of people in Bangalore sign buying agreement with any of the builders and developers. They need to come forward to share their experiences with new buyers to guide them.
I have written my experience as of now in mouthshut. com. Link is below and posted in a facebook group.
