Old flat safety: ceiling collapse in Navi Mumbai leaves couple injured, what buyers must check before buying an old home
A bedroom ceiling collapsed in a flat in Ganga Sagar Society, Koparkhairane, Navi Mumbai, injuring a couple, one of them seriously, and raising questions about the safety of old buildings and timely repairs. The society is about 28 years old and redevelopment work had not taken place for years, a case that shows why price and location alone are not enough when buying an old flat.
