It's not just DS Heights, this seems to be a common practice with many projects in Gurgaon. Builders quote a base price to attract, and then slowly layer on charges like PLC, EDC, IDC, club, maintenance, and what not. It's like buying a car and then finding out AC and wheels are extra. We first-time buyers, especially, get trapped because we don't know the nuances. It's a tough lesson, but always get a detailed breakup in writing before paying anything. Maybe someone should compile a list of all these 'hidden' charges builders typically add.
Koi bata sakta hai DS Heights ka RERA status kya hai? Aur possession date ka kya scene hai? Current market conditions mein toh yeh extra costs aur bhi chubhte hain.
Exactly! Interest rates bhi high hain, toh har extra lakh pinch karta hai. Market thoda slow hai, toh builders ko thoda buyer-friendly hona chahiye tha.
RERA number toh hai unka, but status 'Under Construction' hi dikha raha hai, aur jo original possession date thi, woh already extend ho chuki hai. Gurgaon market mein abhi buyers already cautious hain, upar se yeh hidden costs aur delay, it's a double whammy for first-time buyers like us.
My experience with DS Heights has been a nightmare too. I booked a unit near Airport Road thinking it was a good deal, but the final cost is almost 15% higher than the initial quote because of all these 'extra' charges. They didn't even give a clear breakup initially. Ab toh lagta hai ki maine galat decision le liya. My entire financial planning has gone for a toss. I was hoping to upgrade later, but with these costs, I'll be stuck for ages.
15% extra? That's insane! Did you try to negotiate these charges or challenge them legally? What did they say when you confronted them about the discrepancy?
Haan yaar, same pinch! Builders ka yahi tactic hai. Pehle kam dikhao, phir add karte jao. Bahut disappointing.
Bhai, exactly what hidden charges are we talking about here? PLCs toh common hain, but what else? Specifics batao please.
Jaise aapne pucha, for DS Heights, apart from the usual PLC for higher floors or corner units, they're adding charges for 'club membership', 'power backup installation', aur 'IFMS' (Interest Free Maintenance Security) jo pehle transparent nahi the. Plus, the legal fees they quote are always higher than market. Mere ek friend ne Badshahpur mein ek property li thi, wahan bhi same issues aaye the.
Totally agree with the original post! I'm also a first-time buyer looking at DS Heights, and every time I get a quote, there's some new 'charge' added that wasn't mentioned initially. It's like they have a secret list of costs they reveal one by one. My budget is already stretched thin, aur yeh surprise costs toh mera ROI poora kill kar rahe hain. Feeling super confused and frustrated about whether to proceed or just drop the idea altogether. Is this normal for Gurgaon projects?
