Hyderabad property: Stamp duty and registration costs are insane.

Malkajgiri — we're seriously looking here for a smaller place. Kids have moved out, so don't need our big house anymore. Salarpuria Sattva ke projects dekhe hain, kaafi acche lag rahe. But yaar, yeh registration aur stamp duty costs Hyderabad mein itne high kyun hain? Broker bolta hai builders kuch adjust karte hain, but I'm not sure. Koi experience batao, kitna negotiate kar sakte hain total cost par? Aur kya brokers truly help karte hain ya bas apna commission dekhte hain?
