posted on 14 MayDoes a higher floor in Sohna actually pay off?
₹1.8 Cr for a 3BHK in Sector 38 with Kashish Developers, but the PLC is adding another 8-10 lakhs. I work in real estate, but honestly, buying for myself, I'm questioning these floor-rise premiums. Is it ever really worth paying extra for a higher floor in Sohna, especially from an investment ROI perspective? Or are we just getting played? I'm also looking at secondary market deals, wondering if there's more room to negotiate there. What are your thoughts on getting a better deal on resale vs new projects?

I agree with the OP, PLC feels like a money grab most of the time. Unless you're getting a clear, unobstructed view of something spectacular (which is rare in dense sectors), it's hard to justify. For a first-time buyer, every lakh counts. Maybe try looking at projects where they offer a fixed price irrespective of the floor, though those are rare now.
See, PLC is basically demand-driven. Lower floors are cheaper, higher floors get a premium for views, less noise, better ventilation. In Sohna, it's a bit subjective. If you're looking for investment, capital appreciation in Sohna is still a few years away, it's not like Airport Road. The current market conditions in Gurugram are crazy, but Sohna is still developing. I'd rather put that 8-10 lakhs into interiors or a better location down the line, instead of a floor premium.
Secondary market mein definitely better negotiation scope milta hai, especially if the owner needs to sell fast. Plus, you see what you get, no hidden surprises like builder ki quality issues ya sudden charges. But finding a good 3BHK in Sector 38 on resale might be tough, most are new projects there. But if you find one, go for it!
Bhai, Kashish Developers? Thoda research kar lo pehle. My cousin booked with them near Badshahpur a few years back, and possession was delayed by almost 2 years. They keep changing layouts and charging extra for everything. Higher floor might sound good but if the project itself is stuck, what's the point? Investment ROI toh tab hoga jab project deliver ho. Personally, I'd be very wary.
Exactly! Builder track record is everything. Don't fall for fancy brochures.
U8, it's common with many builders, not just Kashish. My project in Baharampur Naya, promised 2023, now pushed to late 2025. PLC was for a 'golf course view' which is now half-blocked by another upcoming project. So that premium is basically wasted. Always check RERA dates and developer's past records meticulously.
Oh, that's worrying! Did your cousin get compensation for the delay? And was it specific to Kashish or is it common in Sohna for builders to delay like that?
Yaar, exactly my thoughts! ₹1.8 Cr for Sohna itself feels high for a first-time buyer like me, aur usme bhi ye floor rise. It's like they're penalising you for wanting natural light. I'm looking at Sector 33 and the PLC there is also insane. Is it really worth it for 'better views' when you're surrounded by other buildings anyway?
Haan yaar, same experience. Builder didn't budge on PLC near Basai, ended up taking a lower floor.
Totally agree, U1! PLC is a scam. Just extra money for nothing.
