Imagine having saved all your life to buy your dream home and then realising that the dream has turned into a nightmare! Scary as it may sound, several buyers who have invested their hard-earned money in apartments will have the same story to share. Buying a flat is a lifetime investment. However, at times, some builders take an advantage of this and do not leave any stone unturned to cheat buyers. In a city like Bhubaneswar, where new apartments are projected almost every other month, the risks get doubled.

Most of the builders in Odisha present their project in an appealing manner – with informative websites, attractive brochures and most importantly a dream-like sample. And, buyers tend to get carried away by the look and feel of such samples. Disparity between built-up and carpet area, bad construction quality, price hike, change in lay out plan are just a few of the complaints buyers have leveled against builders. But even then there are legions of buyers who are routinely taken for a ride by builders, who show them exquisitely designed sample ...
... flats for a deal but hand over flats that turn out to be very different from the sample offering.

For instance, the fixtures used could be very different from the designer sanitary ware one sees in the sample. And, it will not be right to blame potential buyers for getting carried away by the looks of these sample flats. Builders have many tricks up their sleeves that give false impressions to the buyers. For instance, there are no doors between rooms in a sample, which makes the flat appear more spacious than it really is.

The interior designers hired by the builders to do up the sample flats are experts at creating optical illusions. They know how to use lighting and place furniture in such a way that the house appears bigger. Even the furniture is an accomplice in this charade. It is therefore always advisable to believe in your own eyes, take a little stress and manage some time out to visit the location as the sample apartments/flats the builders provide may completely differ in original.

However, `fake’ sample flats aren’t the only problems buyers have to deal with. Often, it takes years for buyers to get possession of their property for some legal dispute or other issues while there have also been several cases where one flat has been sold to several buyers. All the agreements and documents should therefore be checked thoroughly before signing.
