posted on 13 MayMy Sector 85 PLC shocker, was it worth it?
Sector 85 — my recent move here has really opened my eyes. Everyone talks about the base property price, but nobody properly warns you about the crazy PLC and floor rise charges. I got a flat in Terra Infracon, possession was in March. Matlab, total cost mein these extras added almost 10% to my final bill. Is it just me, or are these charges totally not worth it? Okay, I'll say what no one says: most higher floors don't even offer that much better a view in Gurugram traffic. Change my mind.

I'm still searching, and this makes me so nervous. Is it always like this in Gurugram, or are some builders more transparent? What's the current market like for negotiating these charges, especially with the current interest rates going up?
No, you can't negotiate PLC much. It's a premium charge, not a discount item. Builders know its value.
I tried negotiating PLC for a flat in Baharampur Naya last month, but the sales guy just laughed. They said it's non-negotiable for preferred locations. It's tough out there for buyers right now.
Transparency is rare, especially with smaller builders. You HAVE to get a detailed breakup before booking. Some larger, reputed developers might be slightly better, but PLC is standard. With interest rates high, demand might cool a bit, giving some negotiation power, but don't expect miracles on PLC, it's usually fixed per floor/location. Focus on negotiating the base price or amenities.
Bhai, you're not alone. I booked a 3BHK near Badshahpur two years ago, and my PLC was almost 8% on top of the base. The builder promised a 'green view' but now it's just another construction site next door. This hidden cost adds up and makes you question the whole investment. For first-time buyers, it's a huge dent in the budget, especially when you're already stretched thin.
Exactly! These builders just want to maximize profits. 'Premium view' sab marketing gimmick hai.
U3, usually it's floor rise + PLC combined that hits you, so checking other projects won't change the fact that these charges exist, they are standard. My builder in Sector 70 also had a similar split. And U4, same story with the 'green view' becoming a construction site near Airport Road, it's a common scam.
Hmm, 10% seems a bit high for just PLC and floor rise, unless you went for a really premium view or a very high floor. Sometimes these charges are justified for specific amenities or a clear view of green spaces, not just traffic. Did you check other projects in the area before booking?
Totally relate! I'm also looking in Sector 85, and the builder quotes are always so misleading initially. PLC ka toh alag hi game hai.
