Hyderabad property extras are a total hidden cost trap
Alwal keeps coming up every time I shortlist something. I'm a first-time buyer, 28, looking at a 2/3 BHK. My budget is around ₹1.2 Cr, maybe for a place like Salarpuria Sattva. Builders quote a base price, but then there's stamp duty, registration, PLC, parking, and interiors. Honestly, the all-in cost feels like a moving target. My parents keep saying to add 15-20% on top of the base price, but is that still accurate for Hyderabad? I'm trying to decide between a pre-launch offer or waiting for completion. What's smarter for actual savings, not just perceived ones? What should I watch out for beyond the obvious? Any advice on understanding the *true* final amount before I commit to a huge EMI?
