Hidden charges: The real Bengaluru property cost nobody talks about
Okay I'll say what no one says — price negotiation in Bengaluru is mostly a myth, especially with big players like Prestige Group. Everyone talks about knocking off lakhs, but my experience trying to buy remotely from Dubai? It feels like they just have a 'take it or leave it' policy. I'm looking at Basavanagudi/Jayanagar adjacent pockets, and the sticker price for a 2BHK is already ₹1.3 Cr. Then come the hidden charges. What are the actual costs beyond registration, stamp duty, and PLC? I'm worried about things like maintenance corpus, OC charges, or unexpected 'development fees' that only surface at possession. How do you verify these from abroad without a trusted local contact or power of attorney? Change my mind: is there a real negotiation strategy, or are we just paying whatever they ask? Disagree? Tell me why.
