Pre-launch offers are just a builder's cash grab.

Was supposed to get a 'deal' with pre-launch pricing, but honestly, it feels like a total trap. Booked a 3BHK in Raj Nagar Extension with Gulshan Homz two years back, thinking I'd save big. They showed a fantastic brochure for a 1400 sqft unit, promising a huge discount. But abhi tak possession nahi mila, aur upar se construction delays. My EMI started, plus I'm still paying rent. Jab dekho, late payment penalties for us, never for them. Now, ready-to-move units in Crossings Republik aren't even that much more expensive. Matlab, kya fayda hua early bird bankar? This pre-launch 'discount' feels like a scam. Anyone else frustrated with these Ghaziabad builders' tactics? What did you do?
