Ready to move? Not always cheaper, here's why
Looking at S & U Golden Nest and JMD Siddh Appartment. Both are ready to move in Noida, which is great for avoiding possession delays. My wife's priority is a safe, established neighborhood. But I'm finding the total cost of ownership can be sneaky. JMD looks pricier upfront, but after adding PLC, interiors for a bare shell in Golden Nest, plus stamp duty, it's almost the same! Golden Nest looks cheaper advertised rate wise. Honestly not sure if that advertised rate translates to less money overall. Anyone else done a similar comparison? Plus, which one has better resale value down the line? Hope this helps someone.

Before finalizing anything, get a home loan pre-approval. That way you know exactly how much you can afford and you're ready to move quickly when you find the right property.
So, what did you decide? Which one are you going with?
Golden Nest ka advertised rate is probably just the basic cost. They add on everything else later. JMD might be more transparent.
Honestly, both are decent options. Depends on your budget and what you value more – newer amenities or established community.
Thanks everyone for the advice! Really helpful. I'm leaning towards JMD now after hearing about the Golden Nest possession issues. Safety and peace of mind are worth the extra cost, I think.
Did you check the carpet area for both? Builders often inflate the super area, so compare carpet area to get a true picture of the size.
Mera experience Golden Nest ke saath acha nahi tha. Delayed possession aur phir kuch facilities bhi nahi thi jo promise ki thi. Be careful!
Oh no! Possession mila kya finally?
That's what I'm worried about! Builders are always making promises they can't keep.
Don't forget parking! Covered parking hai ya open? That makes a big difference in Noida heat!
Current market mein rates bahut badh gaye hain. So, buying now might be better than waiting. But do your due diligence!
I'd say visit both properties multiple times, at different times of day. See what the traffic is like, noise levels, etc.
Stamp duty and registration charges are a fixed percentage, right? So, that shouldn't be a deciding factor, just a cost to consider.
Correct, but on the higher priced property, the stamp duty amount will still be higher. So, overall cost difference will be affected.
Which floor are you considering? Ground floor mein toh problems hote hain…water logging, security issues. Higher floors are pricier but worth it.
Check the builder's RERA registration! Don't just take their word for it. RERA website pe sab details mil jaate hain.
Good point! RERA number se project details and completion timelines bhi pata chal jaate hain.
PLC is a scam! Builders always find a way to squeeze more money out of you. Negotiate hard!
Don't forget about maintenance charges! Golden Nest might have higher maintenance if it's newer. Ask about that.
I bought in JMD 5 years ago. Solid construction, no complaints. But their customer service after possession is… well, let's just say there's room for improvement. Lekin neighborhood is good, peaceful.
Golden Nest is newer, right? So, modern amenities. JMD is older, but that means more established community, maybe bigger apartment sizes? Depends what you want.
Golden Nest sounds tempting, right? But that bare shell thing is a killer. Interiors in Noida are not cheap! You're smart to factor that in. JMD is more established, less headache maybe?
Bhai, resale value depends on so many things! Location is key. Check the master plan for future developments nearby. Metro connectivity ka bhi impact padega.
Exactly! Metro se toh rate pakka badhega. Sector 78 mein dekho kya hua.
