There is no limit to foolishness! None of Gurgaon's flats at current rates provide any value for money!

For investors, it was a good time until 2006. For end users, buying these so called luxury or budget projects will end up as a life time of liability.  

At my 3 BHK apartment in Dwarka, which I had purchased in 2004 for around 28 lacs, I have already ran up huge bills in maintaining "live-able" conditions. Apart from flying doors and windows, we also enjoy water falls from other flats as well from the numerous drainage pipes that have been laid out in each balcony.  

The RWA are a bunch of lobbyists and crooks who have appointed their "chelas" and provided contracts for various tasks like garbage collection and disposal, electrical maintenance, plumbing, cable TV etc etc.

I have been trying to sell the place but I am not able to do that due to the broker/RWA nexus. Even though I am quoting a reasonable price for the flat, which is nowhere near the astronomic 70L to 1 Crore quoted by agents, I have not been able to close a deal.

One one occasion, when I had almost reached a deal with a gentleman, I was threatened by a bunch of real-estate brokers to call it off or face dire consequences. Net-net, I completely regret my decision of buying a flat, that too in this horrible crime-filled filthy suburb they call Dwarka.
