My first few months in Greater Noida – hidden costs are real!
Total cost of ownership is often underestimated, I'm finding out now. Just moved into my place last month, and the maintenance charges are way higher than I expected. For Aiims Apartment, the initial price seemed okay, but what about the actual carpet area you get? I'm curious if Gaur Saundaryam buyers feel they got more usable space for their higher price point. Anyone else struggling with hidden costs after moving in?

It's a tough market for first-time buyers, true. Builders always have these clauses. The question is, did you get a clear breakdown during booking? Maybe check your Sale Agreement for those details. Abhi Greater Noida mein properties ka resale value kaisa hai, considering these issues?
I totally get what you're saying about hidden costs. My friend bought in Alpha I Greater Noida, and even there, after registration and all, the society charges for amenities like gym, power backup, and even car parking were extra. They only found out about the full extent once they got the final bill. Aiims Apartment ka toh carpet area issue pehle se hi suna hai, it's notorious for super built-up vs. actual usable space. Gaur Saundaryam ka RERA carpet area thoda better hai, but that comes with a higher per sqft cost.
Dekho, Aiims Apartment ka price point ₹1.2 Cr tha, usme facilities bhi toh dekho. Gaur Saundaryam always targeted a different segment. Carpet area difference toh hoga hi, but kya quality bhi same hai? Aur hidden costs toh sab jagah hote hain, research properly karni chahiye thi.
Quality difference toh hai, no doubt. But for the price Aiims Apartment charged, people expected better transparency. Gaur Saundaryam ka per sqft rate hi 6500-7000 ke around tha, jabki Aiims Apartment ka 5000-5500. Obviously, carpet area ratio will vary.
Quality ka toh pata nahi, but jab ₹1.2 Cr de rahe ho, toh expect karte ho ki sab transparent ho. My cousin booked in Alistonia Estate, unko bhi last moment pe maintenance charges ka shock laga. Builders ka yeh tactic ho gaya hai, pehle lure karo low price se, fir add-ons daalo. Aiims Apartment ka carpet area issue is a common complaint, it's not just about facilities, it's about what you actually get for your hard-earned money.
Haan bhai, same here! Aiims Apartment mein maintenance sunke toh dimaag kharab ho gaya. Lagta hai sirf sticker price dekha tha humne.

Sahi kaha yaar. Aiims Apartment mein aapka per sqft cost kitna pada with all these extras? Aur Gaur Saundaryam ka koi comparison hai kya actual useable area ka?
Exactly! Maintenance bill dekh ke toh heart attack aa gaya tha. Same pinch yaar.
