Ghaziabad property hunting: Uncovering the real costs beyond per sqft.
Was supposed to decide by last month but Ghaziabad options still confuse me. I'm looking at SG Orchard and Prateek Grand City. From my experience, the advertised `price per sqft` is rarely the real deal. Builders often hide PLC, club charges, and maintenance advances. For Prateek Grand City, the listed range seems okay, but what about the actual `total cost of ownership` including all these extra charges and registry? SG Orchard, being ongoing, might have more negotiation room but also higher risk for delays. What's your take on hidden costs for these projects? Is the ready property premium worth avoiding the under-construction gamble?

My experience with a project near Achchheja was horrible. They quoted one price, then added 'development charges', 'electrification charges', 'utility connection fees' – things that were never mentioned. It added almost 15% to the total cost. Prateek Grand City mein bhi same cheezein ho sakti hain, be warned.
SG Orchard ka koi actual all-inclusive price bata sakta hai kya? Aur iska RERA status kya hai, genuine hai ya nahi?
Haan, RERA mein toh listed hai but 2031 is a long wait. Ghaziabad mein market conditions waise bhi upar jaa rahi hain, especially in areas like Abhay Khand and nearby. Jo price aaj de rahe ho, 2031 tak uska value kya hoga, that's a big gamble. Plus, builders always find ways to charge more over time for ongoing projects.
SG Orchard ka RERA number UPRERAPRJ844382 hai, aur possession date 2031-01-01 mention kiya gaya hai. Toh RERA registered toh hai but possession date kaafi dur hai, as U3 also mentioned.
Dekho, if you are budget-conscious, ready-to-move is always better, even if it feels a little more expensive upfront. At least you know what you are getting and when. My cousin booked in Ahinsa Khand II two years ago, and his project is still stuck. SG Orchard ka possession date 2031 hai, that's like forever! So much can change till then.
Ready-to-move ka premium hum jaise first-time buyers ke liye mushkil hai afford karna, yaar. Under-construction mein thoda kam down payment ho jaata hai.
Absolutely, ready-to-move mein peace of mind rehta hai. Ahinsa Khand II mein toh kaafi ache options hain agar budget thoda stretch kar sako. No tension of RERA delays ya builder ke nakhre.
Your point about hidden costs is spot on. I'm also a first-time buyer looking in Ghaziabad, and it's so frustrating. Prateek Grand City ke liye maine bhi suna hai ki final cost kaafi upar jaati hai after all the add-ons. SG Orchard ke delays ka risk toh bahut real hai.

Saalon se yahi chalta aa raha hai. Builders give you one figure, then add stamp duty, registration, IFMS, power backup, parking, GST… list goes on. Be very careful, especially with under-construction projects; they have more scope to add charges later.
Haan, exactly! Mujhe bhi lagta hai ki yeh price per sqft bas dikhawa hai. Aapka budget range kya hai vaise?
Totally agree with you, bhai! Builders ki hidden costs toh sabse bada headache hai. Mera bhi yahi experience raha hai.
