Sobha Developers Limited in Bangalore is well-known for building quality residential properties. Their reputation is wide-spread in Bangalore. And so, when we wanted to buy an apartment we chose to consider a Sobha property. We looked at several properties built by Sobha and were impressed.

After elaborate financial arrangements, we booked an apartment at Sobha Sunscape in July. We were in fact not ready yet and needed 3-4 weeks more time so that we could arrange for the initial payment. The sales-person assured us he would extend the time and persuaded us to make the booking. As a family we were pleased we could pool in our resources and buy an apartment from a good builder. After the loan was sanctioned by the bank, it was a sense of achievement that everything was in place and we were realizing our dream of having our own home.

Shoba developers.One of the leading and best developers who provide high tech flats, villas in bangalore.They are bit costlier but the quality and amenities they provide are worth to the cost.Every apartments are constructed in acres providing lots of open space with eco-friendly atmosphere.

The amenities consist of club houses with swimming pool, party hall, gym, hospitals and recreation area.They have the best securities and admin department who take care of the flat and amenities well.It is always kept clean and well maintained.I love shoba flats.

I have booked an apartment in sobha dream acres with fake assurance of loan from bankers due to sobha phobia.sobha made us to swipe 30k with clever sales strategy from Mr pankaj and Mr Gurmeet.They fooled us in the name of refund from two months asking cheque details.now they are telling that money is not refundable.

Guys please think infinity times before buying an apartment in sobha dream acres.lots of fake promises will be made by sales executives and bank executives

Me and husband were planning to visit Sobha Dream Acres since one of my friend suggested to go there. On the same day only the sales executive washes our brain in such a way that we are eligible for the loan amount and he said and made the bank guys also tell the same. and told if we book on the same day 1 lack rs discount will get and all he said.

So we thought of buying and booked flat giving 30K:(. But when we asked the actual loan dept they told loan edibility  criteria not matches with our salary and we wont get loan amount also. when we discussed same to the sales executives of Sobha, they made the bank person to give the false statement again and what ever they had told initially tht they reduce 1 lack and all bakwass.

When we saw the actually quotation it was showing the new price, then I said will cancel the plan, we want our money back, that cheater sales person told will refund the money, want written mail from Us. after running behind them for our money frequently, now one more person called and told the booking amount is not refundable.

they would have told this priorly, bloody cheaters. they deceived by 1) bank loan eligibility

2) giving the flat in old price(1lack deduction) 3) refunding the booking amount.

I could say they are not sales persons, they are so called bloody lyiers, It was our hard earned money, so while booking flat there beware of the sales persons, they just talk politely till you book the house, after that their true colors will come to know.

I was looking out for some good place for myself on rent. Suddenly I met one lady who was ready to give me 3 bhk in Sobha only for 15k which is unbelievable in Bangalore. So I decided to visit the place once before finalizing it. When I entered into the flat to my surprise, it was leaking from everywhere. The paint was coming out from everywhere in the house.

I was shell shocked to see a new flat from reputed developers to see in such condition. No doubt they provide good gardens and some spacious flats, but they fail to take care of these small issues which gives problems to everybody. And I have seen that many people have faced issues with Sobha.

So I would never recommend these builders to anybody, they are fraud.

Sold most of the property to purchasers stating the land next to shoba city is police quarters.The truth is it is next to burial ground & a crematorium. When we booked the flat we could not have checked this out since it was under construction.

How can a builder of sobha's repute cheat the customers, the complex has about 2000 homes & sobha is quoting a premium of 6000+ for tanisandra.

When you ask for a change in flat they quote prevailing price & delivery after 3 more years

I have already paid 95% of 1.35 crores.

Besides they are only going to provide a kitchen sink in the utility no kitchen counter, which they said will be provided at the time of booking.

Is this common and legal for a builder to ask for 3 days advance notice to visit the site. Also, the customer is not allowed to enter the construction site if advance notice is not given. To me it seems ridiculous that having paid such premium price for a sobha apartment, a customer is denied entry during the construction phase. The reason given is security and no one to answer question is even more ridiculous.

I am talking about the site where all towers are ready and just plastering work is in progress. This is height of arrogance on part of Sobha. be aware what you sign up for.

Any comments?

They build good flats, agreed. this is their best selling point. Post sales customer service is very poor, they just send bereaucratic responses to questions. managers are not efficient, they do not respond in a timely fashion, make excuses.

Their sales lies, be careful. I lost a deposit with them due to this. shameful greed on their part even after knowing all the facts. Also, very rigid, they will not make any changes, it is extremely irritating. you are better off with Brigade on this.

They are greedy and enforce a 24% rate of interest on delays, even while the customer is negotiating something and that caused the delay. If I had a choice, I would not buy from them, there are lots of very good, cheaper alternatives. Do your homework very thoroughly, else you may regret buying from them. Look around, dont rush, I wish I had done the same. I found Brigade to have really good customer service.

I have the same problem, big time high end fraud.

I have booked an apartment in Sobha which is due possession March-2016. my payments started Mar-2013. so far I paid them 84 lacs(85% of total cost already paid in less than 10 months of begin of construction, 26 more months to go).

now they are demanding 20 lakhs more. First of all I am out of money due to this unstructured demands. second part is demand is non-ethical as in project completion is 36 months, demanding 95% of payment in first 12 months. their sales personal explains that demand is balanced for the tenure of the project. I am totally frustrated with the money torture of this company.

They call many times and threaten to charge huge interest on top of unforeseen demands. I have seen other developers, they charge 70% during constriction and 30% on completion. this company is making me pay interest for their profits. let me know if I can file a consumer case on them, what act & what kind of compensation can be claimed?

Don't go with Sobha blindly. It is my worst exp of life to take sobha apartment. Customer service is worst. They don't listen to you after taking your money. They already reached their peak of success and it is the time to fall down. They all are cheaters. From their marketing executive to CRM head, to MD all are in the same boat. I really can't understand how all can work in such an unethical company. They are more corrupt than our politicians. Please dont do mistake what we have done to go with Sobha. They will only give you quality work, but take all your peace of mind. DON'T GO WITH SOBHA.

Sobha talks about delivering high quality and design apartments but they hardly bother to keep that promise. I have escalated to multiple people but hardly any response. Horrible customer service. I am also one of the unfortunate owners of Sobha Classic apartment and I had the worst handover experience and they are absolutely unapologetic and callous in their attitude. There are multiple design flaws.

I can oversee the utility area of my neighbor from my master bedroom. I cannot open the window even for a bit. The sanitary fittings are from Parryware whereas even small time builders are giving atleast Jaguar. The swimming pool is so shallow that I doubt adults can swim in it.

And the irony is that the chairman talks about Sobha being a world class builder with heavy focus on customer service and architectural design etc. IT is all fluff and no reality. They will show you a fancy show apartment and absolutely hide the real design flaws.

You end up paying a premium and yet start living in the property with a compromise from day one. They don't understand that buying a crore plus property, one has lot of aspirations attached to it. They will walk all over your aspirations.

It has been weeks since we took possession of our Sobha Classic at Haralur road in Bangalore. There is a major design flaw in all(82) of the unit 2 apartments. Here the gas connection and the washing machine area are located in the same area of the utility! We have to either sacrifice the gas cylinder or the washing machine. Paying more than Rs. 1 cr.

I was expecting lot more from Sobha! When asked Sobha, people say they they are still discussing internally and and just pushing the matter.

Please double check their design for such flaws before you buy, else it will be costly mistake where you will have to stay and endure everyday!

Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Sobha Developers Limited, said, “Despite the economy growing below 5%, increasing concerns on high interest rates, continuing inflationary pressures and the steep depreciation of Indian Rupee, our performance has been operationally better vis-à-vis the previous quarter. We have sold 1 million square feet of new space compared to 0.95 million square feet in the same quarter last year. The sales value in Q2’14 has increased to 6, 323 Million from 5, 274 Million in Q2’13. The average price realisation has increased to 6, 304 per square feet from 5, 575 per square feet a year ago.”

Wanted to share my experience after visiting a friend at Sobha Malachite at Jakkur. Very impressive and I am sure it's a construction benchmark and housing experience yardstick in Bangalore. The row houses gives a European and laid back feel to it.

Quite accessible with necessities like Hospitals and week end hang outs. Well out of budget for me, but was wondering if there are other similar row house priojects at a lower price range in Jakkur area.

Please be aware of this builder. This builder talks to you sweetly until he has the money. Later it's horrible. We are facing a real horrible experience from this so called branded builder. It's a common mans suffering. Please request not to invest with these builders. We have been trying to get our invested money back from past 1 year.

Not worth to invest!

SUB: HARASSMENT BY BUILDER "SOBHA DEVELOPERS" About 18 months back Sobha developers announced launch of SOBHA SERENE project in Chennai. We booked a flat then worth about Rs 77, 00, 000/- and paid advance of Rs 3.00 lakhs. A bank loan of about Rs 58, 00, 000/- also was sanctioned by HDFC. Due to mismanagement, the project got delayed by about 18 months. The agreed payment mode was 10% initial payment+ Rs 58 lakhs bank loan+ 15% payment on handing over. We kept the 1st stage payment ready.

Please note that the appreciation of flats is highest in Chennai and is about 15 to 20% per year.

Recently they announced re launch of the SOBHA SERENE PROJECT. We were immediately asked to pay 25% as initial booking amount within one month, which is double of what was agreed for initially. We tried a lot but could not raise this amount in such a short notice. The company was indirectly forcing us to cancel the booking by saying that if the 25% payment was not paid, the booking would be cancelled. Finally after having undergone severe mental torture we cancelled the booking. SOBHA was indeed very happy to back the Rs 3.00 lakh advance with interest within a very short period. Their intention was to force us to cancel the booking so that they could re sell the flat at Rs 5, 800/- per square feet. (it was to be sold at about Rs 4400/- per sq.ft about 18 months back)

Please think about our ill fate as a buyer who just believed in SOBHA's reputation.

1) We have booked a flat at Sobha Serene for Rs 77, 00, 000/- about 1.5 year back. We have paid the booking advance of Rs 3, 00, 000/- Also got the bank loan amount of Rs 58, 00, 000/- sanctioned by HDFC. Further we kept ready the second stage payment of Rs. 5, 00, 000/- by getting another gold loan. This money was just parked till about 3 months back ready to make the first stage payment to Sobha.

2) Few of my colleagues who bought similar flats (worth about Rs 60 to 70 lakhs) last year with some other builders, are planning to shift to their new flats now. The price of these flats now has gone up by about 20 to 25% in Chennai. If we opt to cancel the Sobha flat and buy a new one it would cost us an additional Rs 15, 00, 000/- to Rs 20, 00, 000/-.

3) I am currently staying in a rented apartment (at Teynampet) paying about Rs 30, 000/- per month. As this project is delayed I need to shell out another Rs.3, 60, 000/- as rent till I get a new flat considering one year delay.

Can you imagine the price we have to pay for relying on the most reliable SOBHA DEVELOPERS?

1) One year interest for Rs 3, 00, 000/- : Approx Rs  36, 000/-

2) 8 month interest for Rs 5, 00, 000/-: Approx Rs  40, 000/-

3) Additional money if we go for a new similar flat today: Approx: Rs.  13, 00, 000/-

4) Additional rent we have to pay for another year: Approx: Rs.   3, 60, 000/-

NETT loss if we cancel the project with SOBHA: APPROX: Rs. 17, 36, 000/- + Mental Torture by SOBHA

Is there any rule/ regulation in India to bring these kind of frauds to justice. We are ordinary working class and do not have time and money to get into legal proceedings against these GIANT FRAUDS. But at least I have put in my efforts to expose those who claim to be "billion dollar companies" or rather "billion dollar frauds".

They basically target clients with black money and  hawala money and do not care about the ordinary working class who get  carried away by these “GREAT BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES/ FRAUDS”.

It one of the worst decision of life when we booked into. Their Sales people are such that they fool you with glib-promisses and persistence. They would lure you into getting the booking amount with fake time-lines and promises of support.  The timelines of payment would be such that Builder would try to take above 90% in initial short period and then make you wait for long time for project completion.

The sales people appear polite and cooperative initially the moment they get booking amount they would turn nasty. They would then arm-twist you to sign the agreement (by saying that if you dont sign your booking amount would be deducted huge amount. But if you make mistake of signing the agreement (of which nothing you can change) you have had it!!

They charge extortionist interest rates (put shame to even pawn-brokers) for any delay in payment and would set really punishing schedule of payments. (30% initial and 11% thereafter every 2 months) You would end paying more than 90% amount within one year of booking but completion dates would be 2.5-3 years in future and that too tentative.

The sales person (who made glib promises) would practically start insulting you if you try to reach him. And CRM people would turn extortionists and start quoting agreement like machines. There would be no help from Sobha for reselling (unlike prestige or mantri etc. Sobha they don't have reselling division or policies). So once you are suckered in from sales people and are dependent on loans etc. you would end up like us loosing nights sleep on how much of your life-times savings would be lost!!

If you are really enamored by Sobha quality it is much better to buy from an individual-re-seller because at least he/she would give correct picture of advantages/dis-advantages etc. Don't even get into glib Sobha salesmen ear-shot - full of glib talk, misleading pictures, Better go for some one who had taken all the heartburn and tell you what reality is - they would tell you what to expect from whom.

NBR Developers have come up with Very good & affordable projects. I'm looking forward for a good deal.The executive was very helpful and  helped us to make our decision to purchase the property even more Clear  and strongly positive.

Overall a great experience dealing with your organization which is really making a Great property buying experience with an unmatched customer service which I guess is ingrained in all staff as the right DNA of success. The communication was beyond my expectations and I plan to use their services in the future.

I would be happy to discuss my experience with anyone interested in doing work with NBR.
