In many parts of Delhi NCR, flats built in the late 20th century are beginning to show their age. What were once well-planned, functional homes have become outdated, struggling with decaying infrastructure, inefficient layouts, and deteriorating finishes. However, a thoughtfully planned design-and-build renovation can breathe new life into these flats, turning them into stylish, future-ready homes fit for the lifestyles of 2025.
Infinity Lifespaces believes that every home has hidden potential and with the right construction services, even a 30-year-old flat can be transformed into a sleek, efficient, and future-ready living space. As a professional home construction company in Delhi NCR, we specialize in identifying problems and applying modern solutions to make homes safer, more beautiful, and more functional.

Key Challenges in Aging Flats
1. Crumbling Infrastructure and Safety Risks
Flats built during the 80s and 90s are now grappling with visible and dangerous structural deterioration. According to multiple residential surveys, over 65% of older flats in Delhi NCR show signs of water damage, plaster disintegration, and outdated plumbing systems. Electrical systems are also prone to failure with the Delhi Fire Department reporting that over 70% of residential fire incidents in 2023 were due to short circuits, mostly in older buildings.
Infinity Lifespaces addresses these issues through structural strengthening, full MEP upgrades including concealed CPVC piping, complete rewiring using flame-retardant ISI-marked cables, and robust waterproofing all designed to reduce maintenance and extend property lifespan.
2. Inadequate Storage
Traditional flats were not designed with modern lifestyles in mind. According to a 2024 housing trend report by Anarock, over 58% of homeowners cited lack of storage as a major dissatisfaction in older flats.
Infinity Lifespaces brings smart storage solutions: modular wardrobes, attic spaces, wall-mounted units, and multi-functional furniture that maximize usability without sacrificing style.
3. Poor Ventilation and Lighting
A study by the Indian Green Building Council in 2023 revealed that nearly 40% of indoor air quality issues in old homes stem from poor ventilation design. Limited window sizes, blocked airflow, and aging electrical systems lead to poor natural lighting and air circulation.
Our renovation solutions include UPVC windows for better insulation and light, false ceilings with ambient LED lighting, and cross-ventilation planning for improved comfort and energy efficiency.
4. Worn-Out Kitchens and Bathrooms
According to Housing.com data from 2024, upgraded kitchens and bathrooms can increase home value by up to 25%. Unfortunately, in most aging flats, these areas are plagued with leaky taps, rusted pipes, and crumbling tile work.
Infinity Lifespaces transforms these essential zones into high-performance, visually pleasing environments with modular cabinetry, anti-skid tiles, granite countertops, and premium branded fixtures.
5. Outdated Layouts
Today’s families demand open layouts, multi-purpose areas, and work-from-home zones. However, older flats were built with segmented rooms and narrow passages. In fact, a 2023 survey by MagicBricks found that 72% of home buyers in Delhi NCR preferred open layouts over traditional closed formats.
Our construction contractors skillfully reconfigure outdated layouts by removing non-load-bearing walls, integrating open kitchens, and adding WFH-friendly nooks, resulting in seamless and flexible living spaces.
6. Vastu Misalignment
Homeowners are increasingly conscious of Vastu compliance. Poorly placed toilets, kitchens in the northeast, and unbalanced room orientations often leave homeowners feeling uneasy. A 2023 survey showed that over 60% of buyers in the NCR region consider Vastu compliance important when selecting or renovating a home.
Without major demolition, Infinity Lifespaces implements Vastu-aligned upgrades, such as strategic use of partitions, mirror placements, and elemental balancing, to bring peace and energy balance into the space.
7. Fire Safety Hazards
Fire safety remains one of the most critical issues in older flats. Delhi Fire Services recorded more than 5,500 residential fire calls in 2023, many linked to outdated wiring and absence of basic fire prevention mechanisms like alarms and extinguishers.
Infinity Lifespaces retrofits homes with fire-resistant wiring, heat and smoke detectors, and safe finishes in high-risk areas such as kitchens, ensuring compliance with safety norms and peace of mind for residents.
