Older blocks next to new towers

2gated towers

A mix of older houses and blocks alongside 2 gated towers (Geetha Residency and Sri Sai Nilayam). Gated towers here report about ₹3.1k a month in maintenance per flat. Older blocks often lack a lift or covered parking; check both on your visit. Ask for the occupancy certificate. GHMC now issues them for older buildings built to their sanctioned plan. After rain, look for seepage on top-floor ceilings and around old plumbing. In new towers, confirm the occupancy certificate and that the clubhouse, sewage plant and lifts are handed over. Newer belts increasingly buy tanker water when supply falls; ask the association what it spent last summer.
