Builder 'final price' is always a bait-and-switch
Budget finalised, loan pre-approved — now stuck on which project in Gurugram to put my money. I'm looking at Trehan Luxury Floors 71 in Sector 71 and also Ivory Court 4. Trehan is ongoing, asking price looks high, around ₹12k-14k psf, but I'm worried about the 'actual' rate after PLC and other hidden charges. Builder ka track record kaisa hai, especially for timely delivery and quality? Ivory Court is ready, but what's the real rental yield wahan pe? From my experience, advertised rental yield numbers are often inflated. Which one do you guys think has better long-term appreciation and rental potential considering the real cost of ownership? Kya Ivory Court ka premium price justify hota hai for a family moving in vs an investor? Your thoughts on builder reputation and actual price per sqft would be super helpful.

Ivory Court 4 ready hai, that's a big plus, no construction risk ya RERA delays. But what about the rental yield? Ad-wali figures are always fake and inflated. Koi actual investor hai wahan jiska experience ho? Is the premium price for Ivory Court justified for a family moving in vs just an investor looking for returns? I'm torn between immediate possession and long-term value.
My friend lives nearby Ivory Court, rental is not that great compared to the property value. Expect around 25-35k for a 2BHK, depending on the
Ivory Court 4 looks good but the premium is significant for sure. For a family, the amenities and immediate possession might justify it, especially if you're paying rent currently. But for investment, the rental yields are usually 2-3% max in that area, not the 5-6% they advertise for sure.
Bait-and-switch is real! I almost got stuck with a builder near Badshahpur who added 'club membership', 'IFMS' and 'power backup charges' at the very end, which weren't in the initial quote. Trehan Luxury Floors 71 ke saath bhi aisa hota hai kya? Be careful with those 'luxury' tags, they often come with a lot of hidden expenses.
This is so true! My experience with another builder in Sector 70 was a nightmare. They quoted X, then added PLC, EDC, IDC, GST, then 'development charges', 'maintenance deposit', 'car parking charges' and 'electric meter charges'. The final price was almost 18% higher than what they initially showed. For Trehan Luxury Floors 71, make sure you get everything in writing and literally ask for a 'no hidden cost' clause. Don't trust verbal assurances at all.
Totally agree with your point about hidden charges. My cousin faced similar issues in a project near Airport Road. The hidden charges added almost 10% to the initial quote. Always ask for a detailed breakup of ALL potential costs beforehand, even for amenities you might not use.
Totally relate, bhai! My budget bhi tight hai. Trehan Luxury Floors 71 sounds good on paper but 'final price' ka darr lag raha hai. Kya koi bata sakta hai Trehan ka actual track record Gurugram mein? Especially for delivery dates, they've been notorious for delays in their previous projects, right? Quality ka bhi issue suna hai, any first-hand experience?
I checked Trehan L71 too. The asking price is definitely high. For only 3 units, they might try to squeeze more out of buyers. RERA is 83, possession date 2026-03-01. Always keep an eye on the actual carpet area vs super area, that's where hidden costs often start.
Haan bhai, Trehan ka reputation mixed hai. Delivery delays are common, heard from friends who booked with them in Sector 65. Be very careful.
