Private property developers v/s Govt agencies

Magicbricks.com moderator says: Our user from Chandigarh wants to pick up a flat in Rs 30-40 lakh budget. He is keen on buying a 3 bed-room house in the prime sectors. However, he is not sure if he should go for private developers or buy this flat from govt agencies (Chandigarh Housing Board).

The government agencies usually deliver average quality of construction but are considered reliable by home buyers. Private developers promise all amenities but there have been instances when only handful of these things were handed over to the users.

What should a home seeker prefer – a private builder or govt agency? What would you prefer? Send in your answers in the comments section. Else, send them to

Single, serviced apartment or shared flat?


Magicbricks moderator says – Nowadays, serviced apartments are becoming a common residential option. Just for information, serviced apartments are these cosy,1 BHK sets that are fully furnished with modern amenities along with a modular kitchen.

If you were staying single in the city, would you prefer a small, cosy and costly serviced apartment or would you put up in a big, shared but affordable flat? Serviced apartment would give you privacy and space but big, shared flat would be easy on the pocket? Would you spend money for a comfortable apartment? Or would you put up with boring roomies to save some money???

What is your take? Single, serviced apartments or shared flat???
