Hidden costs buyers only discover after possession in Mohali
My landlord just hiked the rent again, honestly, I'm so fed up of renting. Finally taking the plunge, budget's around 70L-1.2Cr for a 2 or 3 BHK in Mohali. I'm looking at True Bodh 79 and Landmark Avana 1st Phase, both seem interesting but the price difference is huge. True Bodh looks more within reach, but I'm worried about the total cost of ownership. Is the base price for these under-construction projects ever the final price? What about stamp duty, PLC, and then interiors? Feels like they add another 15-20% easily. Also, for a 5-year appreciation, which one makes more sense? Landmark Avana is pricier, but does that mean better long-term ROI? Or is True Bodh a better entry point? Not sure if the higher initial outlay for Avana justifies the potential returns. Any experiences with hidden charges or unexpected costs with either of these builders?
