posted on 14 MayFaridabad 3BHK search: Negotiation and hidden costs are confusing me
₹90 lakh for a 3BHK in Sector 35, Faridabad feels like a lot. Is this the new normal for property prices? I'm looking at projects by BPTP and Puri Constructions. As a first-time buyer, honestly, I'm not sure how much negotiation is actually possible. Brokers often say 'final price hai', but I've heard people manage to get 5-10% off. Is this true in Faridabad's current market? Also, I'm worried about hidden costs. Beyond stamp duty and registration, what else should I factor in? PLC, OC, maintenance advance – kitna extra lag jaata hai? Goyal Estate Agency se baat ki thi, but I can't tell if they genuinely help negotiate or just push sales. Koi real experience share karega please? My max budget is around ₹1.2 Cr.

The 90L figure is probably just the base price, as U1 mentioned. For Puri, a 3BHK in Sector 35 can range from 80-1.1 Cr depending on floor, view, and specific tower. My friend booked in Puri Pranayam and after all charges, including stamp duty and registration, it came to around
You're absolutely right about negotiation. Brokers will always say 'final price hai', it's their standard line. But yes, 5% is definitely doable if you push hard, especially with ready-to-move projects. For under-construction, it might be a bit less, maybe 2-3%, but don't give up hope. It also depends on the builder's inventory.
This hidden cost thing is a nightmare. Mera budget bhi hil gaya tha jab saare charges add kiye. Builders make it sound so simple initially.
I agree with your point about negotiation. My cousin bought in Sector 81 last year from Puri and managed to get almost 7% off on the base price, but he paid a significant chunk as upfront cash. Hidden costs are a real trap – expect 10-12% extra on top of the base price for everything: PLC (Preferred Location Charges), club membership, IFMS (Interest Free Maintenance Security), power backup, legal fees. Brokerage alag se. So that 90L easily becomes 1 Cr+ with all these add-ons. Factor that in your budget.
Bhai, 90L for Sector 35 is definitely on the higher side. Avoid BPTP if you're looking for timely possession, their track record has been a bit shaky. Puri is better, but still, 90L for a 3BHK seems steep.
Haan yaar, BPTP ka delivery track record theek nahi hai. Padosi ka project 2 saal late ho gaya tha.
Exactly! I was quoted 85L for a similar unit in Sector 35 last year, and that too felt like a stretch. Prices have shot up like crazy. Is this even sustainable, ya fir bubble ban raha hai?
