This came in as a forward today. Am not too sure about how true this particular story is, but similar stories keep happening in Bangalore. A lot of thugs are out there on the loot, being sure well-educated and cultured people with some spare cash (of which you have no scarcity in Bangalore) is an easy loot. When each Lokayukta raid comes up with more officers taking favors from these very thugs, keeping away and being careful is the best policy.
People,
Be very cautious before you book a flat with “Sri Lorven” builder in Bangalore.These are two brothers named Narasimman raddy and Mallaya raddy from Andhra Pradesh-Hyderabad. (Mallaya Raddy, the main owner, is government employee in Hyderabad.) They have a peculiar strategy to cheat customers and make crores of rupees.
They did similar cheap tricks in Hyderabad for few years and finally they were black listed in Andhra Pradesh city .they came to Bangalore by changing the brand name to “Sri lorven” and started the same tricks here.
They offer flat at a very lesser price when compared to market price. Initially they place very decent and educated guys near the reception (their son in law and other relatives) to attract the customers.
Usually builder start selling the flat from initial stage. But this builder start the marketing only once he finish 70% of his construction. So first time he collects 70% money from you.
In another 20 days after getting the initial 70%, he threaten you that “Registrations in Bangaloreare going to close soon.(Which happened many times in the last few years) Please register your flat immediately”. But at
the time of registration, he says “With out getting 90% of the total cost I cannot register it. Pay me 90% , I will finish registration today and handover the flat in next month”. (You will also think that finishing the
already 70% completed flat is easy and registration is more important). They collect 90% of total flat cost and finish the registration on your name.Once you pay 90% you are in his trap. He collects it from almost all the residents, and then he escapes from the site. You cannot find builder, engineer or even a worker again. He immediately changes all the mobile SIM
cards and you will get “Please check the number” message if you call him.Using the same strategy he starts four to five more projects simultaneously.After 5 to 8 months, once fine day he sends the other one Narasimman raddy to the location. This guy is a big street gunda.He is the worst road side person one can ever find in Bangalore.
(You cannot find the earlier decent guys again.) You will be very frustrated and tensed in these 5 months.You will be paying your EMIs and your currently residing flat rents every month.
This guy changes the strategy. He says “The market price of this flat, when compared to last year increased by 2 lakhs. (it is obvious that market price will increse in one year and that is the damn reason why we purchse a flat) Pay me that amount to get the remaining work done”. You cannot argue anything because he is a gunda who can speak only foul road side language. He treats customers just like dogs.(He is always accompanied by more gundas and he claims that he has good political background. Even he slapped 2 or 3 of my fellow residents who are decent software engineers and who tried to protest him.) Some people who are frustrated in this transaction compromise and pay that 2 lakh amount thinking that it is better to pay 2 lakhs instead of loosing 20 lakhs which they already paid.Then he will show some progress to those guys who paid the extra amount, just to emotionally force the other guys to pay.Once he collects it from everybody, then he changes the strategy again.
He says “I never promised you Electric fittings(Switches,Boards), lift, flat doors, windows, bathroom pipes etc” (Initially you see the plan brochure and think that they are obvious from any builder, but there is a disclaimer
written behind the brochure: “This brochure is purely conceptual and not a legal offering.the developers reserves the right to add/alter/delete any of the specification mentioned here”. He says that he removed all the above componentes from the plan) This chain goes on and on…. and you will never get the flat even after 18 months of you initial payment.One fine day after making more money he leaves the place with out providing even the basic amenities.We approached the bank from where we got the loan but no
use.Finally we paid money from our pocket and got the balance work done. If you want any more clarifications regrading this, you can meet any resident at the following addresses.
1)SriLorvenCastle, 5th Main, 7th Cross, Near Hasenda club, Maruti nagar, Mallesh palya(Behind BEML gate) Bangalore.
2)Sri Lorven house, kagadasapura, vignana nagar,behind sct college, Bangalore
3)Sri Lorven paradise,Krisnanna Palya,Byappana halli,Old Madrasroad
4)Sri lorven villa,4th cross, Wind tunnel road, airportalso building more apartments near white field, Banshankari,BTM, JP Nagar and Indira nagar
Be very cautious. If you book a flat with him, that’s the end of your happiness and money.
Please forward it to your friends and save them from this trap.
We suffered and cried because of him.You dont go into his trap.
He may change the brand name and come up with a new name.Be careful.

This is the feedback from Customer of Lorven Homes, Bangalore. You can check with this guy suryaksvas@yahoo.com.
Hi,
I feel this is the time for me reveal some facts on my experience with Lorven Builders, Bangalore.
Every day iam getting calls / mails from my friends / relations to enquire about the
Builders. Here with iam considering few points from the mail circulated on Lorven builders, Banglore and share my experience, so that you will know the facts.
1) They came to Bangalore by changing the brand name to “Sri lorven” and started the same tricks here.
Before buying the flat, I have enquired with my friends in hyderabad about the Lorvern builders. I have got positive feedback and got confirmed that they have ventures in hyd with Brand name Sri Lorven Estates.
I get verified because first time they started business in blore when i book the flat.
2) They offer flat at a very lesser price when compared to market price
The rate appears to be cheap but I can say they are reasonable. The rates purely depend on the extra amenities providing in the apartment. If no swimming pool, party hall,
and GIM then it is obvious that the rates are lower than the rates compared with flats providing with these amenities.
Also the rates in Bangalore are governed by the site location like BDA, CMC or BMRD areas.
The rate high particularly in the locations of Cauvery water supply is available.
Initially they have started flats in CMC areas where there is no Cauvery supply is there.
3) Considering the Registration point.
Definitely I have got some benefit out it by registering few days earlier.
Builder told me that land rates are getting revised soon and we will go for Registration. They never forced me for the registration.
After i register my flat, the land rates are increased -> registration charges raised.
4) Once you pay 90% you are in his trap. He collects it from almost all the
Residents, and then he escapes from the site. You cannot find builder
,engineer or even a worker again. He immediately changes all the mobile SIM
cards and you will get “Please check the number” message if you call
him.Using the same strategy he starts four to five more projects
simultaneously.
* This is not true as he never changed his mob. Iam communicating with same
mob number from last 1 year. They have group call facility and you call
the main owner if you have any issues.
5) The decent guy mentioned in the mail still reachable on the same mob. (9448496960/5)
6) this guy changes the strategy. He says “The market price of this flat, when
compared to last year increased by 2 lakhs. (it is obvious that market price
will increse in one year and that is the damn reason why we purchse a flat)
Pay me that amount to get the remaining work done”. You cannot argue
anything because he is a gunda who can speak only foul road side language.
He treats customers just like dogs.(He is always accompanied by more gundas
and he claims that he has good political background. Even he slapped 2 or 3
of my fellow residents who are decent software engineers and who tried to
protest him.) Some people who are frustrated in this transaction compromise
and pay that 2 lakh amount thinking that it is better to pay 2 lakhs instead
of loosing 20 lakhs which they already paid.Then he will show some progress
to those guys who paid the extra amount, just to emotionally force the other
guys to pay.Once he collects it from everybody, then he changes the strategy
again.
* As for as this point concerned, I have not paid any extra amount.
The extra amount which I have paid is only for the additional things/ modifications
I have asked. He has committed to do puja for free of cast and have not charge me for that.
There was communication GAP here. I thought all the other things also he do for free of cost, but later come to know that other builders are also charging for the extra work My cousin paid 50000 Rs for exra work being done in his flat – Tata Sher wood.
I have settled the amount what we have agreed upon + Service charge.
After the registration, i have paid the aggreed amount only even though the flat rate raised by 20%.
Iam not sure about other Lorven constructions but definitely not from our apartment.
7)
He says “I never promised you Electric fittings (Switches,Boards), lift,flat
doors,windows,bathroom pipes etc” (Initially you see the plan brochure and
think that they are obvious from any builder, but there is a disclaimer
written behind the brochure :”This brochure is purely conceptual and not a
legal offering.the developers reserves the right to add/alter/delete any of
the specification mentioned here”. He say that he removed all the above
componentes from the plan)
* I have paid for extra electrical fittings but not for entire electrical work.
* They have provided all the other facilities as promised like
Lift
Intercom
Power back-up
Finally I can say, they will definitely finish the work on the promised date.
If you have a clear agreement with the target date to complete then it would not be an issue.
There is no point in saying that builder will escape because he staying the PENT house
of our apartment and his family also living with him. His children got school admission in bang lore.

Note: I would like to clarify that “Owner” – the above comment author – does not mean the owner of this website (i.e. me).
Can someone please tell me anything about the PAVITHRA BUILDERS? Those folks had started selling flats at Sarjapur Road (opposite to Wipro Corporate office) in 2003 November at about Rs. 1150 per square feet and still have made no progress in the construction. Are the Cheat / fraud?
You call them at the marketing Dept (# 080-41248690) and they say the project is BDA approved and they are selling flats at Rs.3000 per square feet. But if you call as an existing customer, they will say the BDA approval is awaited!
Regards.
How can one write a false-imaginatory story like that? I am amazed with his writing skills.dont you? The author of the story has plenty of options to consider
1. script or story writing for movies
2. journalism on rumors and gossips
Or
He can even consider starting his own construction business with those above mentioned tricks.
Coming back to the issue…..
All I can say is it’s a FALTOO story, which might have come from a personal grudge.And if u notice carefully, the article is clearly oriented towards character assassination of the people who runs the company.
Ok guys I am done. I will leave the rest to your logical thinking.
I am responding to Bhat who is having issues with Pavithra Builders.
We are in the same situation as you. I found another website where people are talking about the same. The link is as follows:
http://groups.msn.com/bdasites/gramathanavp.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=38730&LastModified=4675621878341744694
Yet another builder where residents fight for survival
http://suncityresidents.blogspot.com/
NO NO TO SANATHA DEVELOPERS.
The name of the builder is Basavaraj
Go for the branded developers with good reputation like the brigades, embassy, tata, shobha, mantri etc
You might have to pay the premium, but you are saved with all these headaches for sure
I am replying for Bhat. Pavithra builders are cheaters. There is a project called sonia’s neighbourhood in white field. He got money from lot of people and now he doesnt respond for calls and has no intention to return the money or develop the project. there are other projects like joy city and garden flats. All the situation is the same. register in groups.yahoo.com. search for sonia’s neighbourhood and you will find more details about this builder.
Hi
We are facing the same problem with Radiance Realty. Its owner is very cunning and shrewd person called Manohar Rao Karkal. He insists to get the flat registered without completing and after registration he ran away. As I know there are 5 projects he is working on in bangalore. out of these 2 are in AECS layout. I will just mention his phone nos and any body can try the no. it will say either “NOT VALID” or something else. He is a big rowdy. I will just request all the people who are looking for property in Bangalore, Chennai and Kolkata not to get in trap of this bastard.
Those who are already in trap are requested to come together and file a case in either consumer court or criminal court.
Phone Nos are
9900160541
9448468093
9945069940
9972427327
9901046862
9980558803
9980076098
He has three assistant, 1.Sanjeev 2.Yuvraj 3.Chakravarthy.
All these are roadside people only.

Can any body tell me about front line builders …who are located in banaswadi…
They are selling flats in cheaper rates …
Need comments on builder
you are crazy if you belive in frontline builders.
if they promise for 100 % loan, then pleae go to proper bank and inquire first you will find out that you will be paying more.
they are big time fraud and have not returned my 75000 still. Lot of people are complaining of bounced cheqs in case of frontline builders.
If you find out their fraud and ask them for money then you have to listen to all the dirty words from them They are fraud and please save you money and check comments about them on net. they only sell All illeagally constructed flats so be careful.
You check commnets at:

http://frontline.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/09/frontline-builders-are-cheaters.htm?utm_source=notification&utm_medium=dashboard&utm_content=viewed%20a%20blog.
Their own employees are adding good comments and good blogs about them on the net. You will find the same comment but different users on the same blog. That proves that the same person is sitting and adding all these good comments so that they will get good replies. But i really wish all those who ha suffered becasue of frontline builders should share their experiences with people. I am going to add my comments on every website and hope that this one is helpfulllll………….
Hi,
can anybody tell me about shakthi builders in mallesh palya. I saw one 2BHK flat from that builder in kagadaspura area. Please share your experience.
Let me confirm first.
Frontline builders are not builders; they are just a third party doing marketing on commission basis.
There are lots of small scale builders in Bangalore, but for them marketing is difficult due to less man and money. Frontline is catching those people are making some arrangements with them and market their flats. Normally the business is builder may be ok with some cut off money (some x amount per sq ft). But frontline will sell these properties with higher rate + some invalid service tax + higher registration value. What ever the difference money coming with builder demand, is the profit of frontline. When they collect the registration and tax it will calculate based on the final price we got. But while doing registration no builder will show the actual price on paper and accordingly the registration amount and tax will be less than the actual. But this benefit is not coming to customer, frontline will absorb.
And frontline is no way into any of the construction issues. Taking care of customer, after sale service etc are just gimmicks because they are not the partners or investors in construction. If any problem with construction comes with flat the customer has to deal with builder, not frontline. And builder attitude will depend on his character and we cannot make a general statement as we won?t get service. We may, we may not, its up to the builder.
But one thing is sure, frontline is getting business. What ever is coming its profit for them because there is no investment.
And about 100% loan, frontline is having another set up with ICICI. As you know private banks will do anything to get customers. What they are doing is , they forge the document putting very high value on sale agreement. Based on that bank will give loan. Its simple as that. But you may end up in paying more tax.
While dealing with frontline, my advice before paying advance you check the quality of work, builder etc. if you are fully satisfied then only go for advance. And if you are going for 100% loan, make sure that the loan amount is considering your total advance also. The promises like they will refund the difference money etc is remain as promises always. Always make sure that at the time of registration no extra money is with frontline.
There is a builder cum interior decorator in Vijayanagara (Bangalore) called TRENDS (Also called 360 DEGREE CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS). There are 3 partners with this builder and I gave a contract to them in 2007 and they did not finish the construction till now (almost 2 years). They took my contract money and still demanding more money without doing any work.
Please read the contents of this page before deciding to buy a flat at Kristal Citrine ” http://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/kristal-group–builders-amp-developers-c91735.html ”
I feel sorry for the residents of the site. Hope Kristal group lives up to its reputation and ensures timely completion of all the promised amenities…

Thank the person who wrote on Sri Lorven, they are indeed a fraud and Rowdies. All those other people who wrote in their favour are their chamchas, who get a drink everyday.
When buying a property in Bangalore Do Not buy from Reddy’s, check anywhere in Bangalore since years, they all have cheated and made money. Where do they get the money to build those huge houses – by cheating.
They willo not hesitate to sell a plat to 10 people, or hike up their price after getting initial major amounts.
What has been written is less, a bunch of thugs stay away.
You have 5 Reddy’s in the current BJP govt. having done Dacoity, Looting, Rape, Cheating. Wait until this govt. goes away to pursue proper action.
Reddy’s will not hesitate to sell a plot to 10 people or chnge the price after taking money and before registration. Go to the courts most cheating cases are about Reddy’s , brothers cheating each other, son against father or mother or vice versa.
Do Not buy from these people Reddy’s, they have no conscience and ARE ROWDIES, how much ever they study, the filth always comes out. We eally suffered until we solved from one os thes cheap low life characters from the gutters.
Hi
I am staying at a terrace house which is illegal on the 5th floor of an apartment on Old Madras Road.I have seperate electricity meter like the rest of the apartment owners and my house boundry is demarcated well.
The Owner(also the builder) has approached me asking if i would like to buy the house..Since it is illegal i will not be able to apply for loan and will have to make fully payment upfront.
The owner says he will help me legalise the house for me whenever the govt let builders to do that.He says there has never been any case where the terrace house was brought down.
Just wanted suggestions and legal advise on the issues of buying such a terrace house.
Kristal group of builders’s Ernakulam/trivandrum site needs a responsible person to look after work progress.Work is lagging?
After booking flat , when ever I call the marketing executives no one takes the phone or may reply that he is in a meeting or in an exhibition and never ever call back
Hope Kristal group lives up to its reputation and ensures timely completion of all the promised amenities
Kristal builders customer service of Kerala is very bad, especially once we become their clients.
We never get them on phone or mail for any of our questions.
Hi Annop,
I agree with you.
Kristal builder’s customer service is very poor.
I never get the customer server when I call.
They are not keeping their promises like buy back option, ontime completion etc.
The managers are not tracking the overall activities that they have promised.
Adding Alpine buiders, bangalore , Alpine Housing to the list, M.D Mr Kabeer. Cheats, frauds. Eco was finished poorly and they have a land case going on with the owner.

Hi,
I have an Alpine Eco flat and I like them for a few reasons, they do have some nice floor plans they have a large one story that is very open and reminds me of a good style, then they have a larger plan that is great for entertaining and large families. I have found they hold their resale value in Bangalore communities I?ve invested in, prices are sort of fair but they are easy to negotiate with most of the time, not sure about any where else. They have nice features that are mostly standard and u can get decent upgrades without breaking the bank
I completed my registration with out any issues.
Bank also funded
Thanks and Regards

Unspeakable Things
Well, I have to start with HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I hope you’ve all been able to take the time to scope out the builders in market. There are quite a few, and many good projects captured in Bangalore. we have much to be thankful for making such as nice projects. You no doubt noticed that Alpine Pyramid Apartment in North Bangalore, because of very good location with all facilities Again, there are a lot of advantages in the project, and much to share about this intense gathering of Alpine Pyramid, harsh way to say that many of the things we have learned and experienced first-hand have not been “good” in the general sense. We find ourselves often surrounded by disorganization, miscommunication, double standards, misunderstandings and confused visions. The Alpine pyramid project is the “right” way, the better way, and the successful way .
