Can't decide on builder — someone help me
Spent the whole Sunday checking out options in Sector 150 and 107. Yaar, the confusion between builders like Godrej, ATS, and M3M is real. From my experience, delivery track record is huge for ROI, especially with Jewar airport coming up. Godrej aur ATS ka history thoda better lagta hai on paper for on-time delivery compared to M3M, but is that true for their Noida projects specifically? Also, construction quality mein kaunsa builder actually deliver karta hai, not just marketing hype? I've seen so many hidden charges during possession with others, like huge PLC and OC charges. For a 3BHK around ₹1.5Cr, what's your take on which builder gives better resale value 5 years down the line? End-user ya investor, who benefits more from which one? Hope someone has some real-world data.

My friend who bought in Sector 150 last year told me that Godrej's resale value is looking stronger for end-users because of their amenities and family-friendly focus. M3M is often seen as more investor-centric, but with market conditions changing, even investors are wary of projects with a shaky delivery history. It's a tough call, but don't just look at the lowest price, consider the total cost of ownership over 5 years.
U6, to answer your question, when I inquired at Godrej, they gave a pretty standard list, but the sales rep did mention some 'statutory charges' that would be applicable at possession, without giving a fixed figure. This is where the ambiguity lies. For a 3BHK around 1.5Cr, what's a reasonable expectation for total hidden charges, including PLC, OC, etc., as a percentage of the base price? I'm worried about overshooting my budget.
Yeah, that 8-12% is a good ballpark. Plus, don't forget the rising interest rates on home loans, that's another factor impacting affordability and resale demand right now.
U8, typically, you should factor in at least 8-12% of the base price for all these extra charges – stamp duty, registration, PLC (if applicable), OC, IFMS, club membership, power backup, etc. Sometimes it can go even higher if there are specific location advantages or premium views. Builders will always keep some clauses vague. For resale, ATS and Godrej have a better track record for appreciation, especially in established sectors or near prime commercial belts like Alpha-II Commercial Belt. M3M is still establishing itself in Noida, so it's a bit riskier for short-term gains.
For resale value, I feel ATS might edge out slightly. Their projects often command a premium due to location and perceived quality. Godrej is also good, but M3M might struggle a bit more, especially if the delays continue. Jewar airport is a game changer for sure, but the appreciation will be across the board, not just one builder. End-users should prioritize quality and timely delivery more than just speculative gains.
Sahi keh rahe ho. M3M ki marketing bahut strong hai but ground reality can be different. I visited a Godrej site in Sector 150 last month, construction seemed pretty good, they were on schedule. ATS ka bhi track record theek hai, especially for their older projects near Alpha I Greater Noida. Mera main concern bhi hidden charges hi hai, like Club Membership ya IFMS ke naam pe bahut loot machate hain.
Absolutely! My cousin booked with a builder (not these three) in Alistonia Estate, and during possession, they sprung up so many 'miscellaneous' charges, it almost added 5-6 lakhs extra. It's like they give you a good base price and then recover it all later. Did anyone actually get a clear breakdown of all charges upfront from Godrej or ATS?
Bhai, your confusion is totally valid! Godrej and ATS have definitely built a reputation for better delivery. M3M ka scene thoda mixed hai, especially in Noida. I've heard stories about delays with their Sector 107 projects. Construction quality mein bhi Godrej usually scores higher. Hidden charges toh sab builders ka game hai, you need to be super careful with the agreement.
