Advaitha Ventures HBR: My payment plan reality check
₹1.4 Cr for a 3BHK in HBR Layout, Advaitha Ventures se liya tha, possession March mein mila. Abhi 2 mahine hue hain, and I'm still figuring out the actual total cost. Pre-launch mein liya tha, so I thought I was getting a good deal with a decent ROI. But construction-linked payment plan mein itne surprises the ki bas. Har stage pe kuch na kuch extra aata tha, especially after the initial payment. Builder ne bola tha discount hai, but end mein laga ki open-market price se zyada hi pay kar diya. Is it just me, ya pre-launch ka hype bas dikhawa hai? Aur construction-linked plans mein ye hidden costs normal hain kya? Feeling like the total acquisition cost isn't what was shown. Should I have gone for a fully ready property instead? Thoda doubt ho raha hai long-term value pe.

Bhai, you're not alone! Pre-launch is a marketing gimmick mostly. Same experience with a project near Marathahalli, total hidden costs were almost 10% extra.
Haan yaar, ye hidden costs toh har jagah hain. Stamp duty, registration, legal
Exactly! Mera bhi same hua, 'early bird discount' ke naam pe bas loot liya. Feeling so cheated.
