posted on 19 MayChandrarang Kondhwa: Hidden charges ka real game
Chandrarang ke Kondhwa project mein hidden charges ka real scene kya hai? Possession pe maintenance deposits, club house fees, PLC sab add karte hain. Ismein kitna negotiate kar sakte hain? Kids ke school ke liye budget tight hai.

You can definitely ask for a detailed breakup, U4, but whether they provide it transparently is another story. Sometimes, the maintenance deposit includes an advance for a year or two, which is normal, but the club house and PLC should ideally be fixed at the time of booking. My advice would be to compare their charges with other projects in the same vicinity before committing. Don't be afraid to walk away if it feels fishy. Your budget for kids' education is more important than a builder's hidden fees.
Is there any way to verify these charges with the builder directly, or are they just 'take it or leave it' kind of thing? Like, can we ask for a detailed breakup of the maintenance deposit?
This Chandrarang project has been in talks for a while for these issues. Kondhwa is a good area, but builders there sometimes take advantage of the demand. Always check their RERA number and see if any complaints are registered. Don't just rely on what the sales team says. Kya value for money mil raha hai agar itne extra charges hain?
The possession date is usually when they hit you with the final bill for these charges, U8. They try to sneak them in right when you're desperate to move in. It's a common tactic. For my project, they gave me a breakdown 3 months before possession.
Exactly! Value for money is key. With current market conditions, even in good areas like Sinhagad Road, buyers have options. Builders can't just slap on charges. We need transparency.
U3 makes a very valid point. RERA is your best friend here. I found a few complaints about another project in Akurdi where they tried to charge extra for amenities not even mentioned in the RERA documents. Be super careful!
Oh no, this is exactly what I was worried about! My family is pushing me to consider Kondhwa because of the connectivity and schools, but these hidden charges are a huge red flag. Kids' school fees are already so high, I can't afford any surprises. Has anyone actually managed to negotiate on these PLC or club house charges?
U2, unfortunately, most builders consider these non-negotiable once the initial booking is done. They bake these into the 'final cost' and present it as standard. For Chandrarang specifically, I've heard they are quite rigid. Try to get a full breakdown of all charges in writing *before* signing anything.
U2, negotiation is tough, but sometimes possible if you push hard. My brother managed to get a small discount on the PLC for his flat in Amanora Park Town, but that was because he paid almost 80% upfront. For club house, they usually don't budge. What's the possession date they are giving you?
Bhai, you've hit the nail on the head! Chandrarang Kondhwa mein yeh hidden charges ka drama pura sach hai. Mere ek friend ne wahan book kiya tha, possession ke time itna add kiya ki uska pura budget hil gaya. Specially maintenance deposits aur club house fees toh astronomical bolte hain.
Haan yaar, same experience with another builder near Ambegaon Budruk. Sab marketing ke time kuch aur bolte hain, phir jab agreement sign karne jao, toh naye naye charges nikal aate hain. It's like a trap for first-time buyers like us.
Totally agree with U1! I heard they even charge for parking separately, which wasn't clear during booking. Like, parking toh basic amenity hai na? Why hide it till the last minute?
