I am interested in buying an apartment in DLF garden city. I was very much impressed with the features they are offering and the price is competitive as well.If anyone here has already booked a flat or lookin to buy one and people who already have some valid information on the same, kindly help me out.

Regards,
Venkat.

There is a Google Group actively advocating the cause of folks who have registered for DLF Garden City. There are lots of valuable suggestions from the group to the DLF management on things going on. Those who are into this project, please join the group.

I do not know how the above spec is floating around. My direct inquires revealed, floor tiling is rectified which is far below in quality to vitrified. On pressing, reason given is vitrified tiling is for public usage (where lots of people stamp their feet) and rectified perfectly suits private space at affordable cost. Worse, you can not order change in DLF plans !

Second, if you have Window AC, throw it. In DLF, you are allowed to use only Split AC. There will be provision for it off course.

Third, they hired one literal contractor named Hafeez Contractor based in Bombay i suppose. His taste and sensibilities are not suited to Chennai. You can witness it in the floor plan. Your flat main door stares into kitchen.

Fourth, internal layouting is also optimized for DLF and not for you. You have three bed rooms in a row. I heard of row houses but row rooms, news. This contractor needs a kick in the ar**. Simple no degree contractor in my native place does a better job.

Fifth, do not gloat over PSBB. Strings attached. You have to shell out a lot of money to be in. Off course you will be called first to pay for it. You have to sit through PSBB selection criteria but may not stand through queues. I heard KK Nagar PSBB queue was one km long. What a fight to make your kid a clone.

Sixth, DLF owns more property inside then you imagine. Your undivided does not include Club, Mall, School, Botanical/Forest land etc etc.

Seventh, there is deadly silence on maintenance from DLF itself. There are only few guesses floating around.

Eighth, mini hospital is a nice blog go gaga over stuff. But its management Fortis is pucca corporate. Visiting doctors are going to make you pay through your nose. Apollo experiences pale into insignificance before this Fortis juggernaut. Folks in chennai are not aware of Fortis from Delhi. Their job is to take over hospitals and brand them.

I am not a scarecrow. Its a good deal. DLF is One up and gave a black eye to prevailing building mafia in chennai. But know all aspects, especially what you do not know.

Thanks
