Sector 1 mein 3BHK: Spot discount ka sach kya hai?

One key thing: check the completion certificate status. If CC is not received, then there's always a risk. For Sector 1, most projects should have CC by now, unless it's a very new phase.

My personal experience with Strategic Developers in Sector 120 was horrible. They kept extending the possession date. Eventually, got the flat after 4 years delay. Compensation was a joke. So, yes, be very very careful. A spot discount won't cover mental agony and rent paid during delay.

OP, have you visited the secondary market options you mentioned? Sometimes you find a gem there. And the negotiation is direct with the owner, much simpler than builder's corporate policies.

Summary for OP: Don't trust 'final price'. Push for 1-3% discount, especially towards quarter-end. Brokers can help but verify their 'special deals'. Secondary market is an option but do thorough due diligence on papers and costs. Most importantly, check Strategic Developers' RERA status and track record for this specific project. Good luck with the school admissions!

OP, what's your timeline? If you need it urgently for school admissions, a ready-to-move secondary option might be less stressful than an under-construction project, even with a small discount from the builder.

First-time buyer here, and this discussion is so helpful! It's overwhelming. My main concern is the hidden costs. Builders quote one price, but then registration, stamp duty, EDC/IDC, PLC, maintenance advance, club membership, transformer charges... it all adds up. Does a spot discount cover any of these, or is it just on the base price?

Most spot discounts are on the base price or BSP (Basic Sale Price). The other charges are usually fixed by government or builder policy. Sometimes, builders will offer to waive off PLC (Preferential Location Charges) or give free club membership as a 'discount'. Yehi brokers ki 'special deal' hoti hai mostly.

Sector 1 is a premium location, close to Noida City Centre, Wave Mall, and good schools. The appreciation potential is good long-term. So even if you don't get a huge discount, if the price per sqft is reasonable for a ready-to-move unit, it might still be a good buy. What's the per sqft rate they are quoting?

The market is a bit slow right now due to high interest rates, so builders *should* be more flexible. Don't show too much eagerness. Visit, ask for the best price, then walk away for a few days. They might call you back with a better offer.

Secondary market mein negotiation ka scope definitely zyada hota hai, but there are other costs involved like transfer fees to the builder, existing owner's unpaid dues, etc. Plus, the property might not be as new or customized. Always compare apples to apples. A 90 lakh secondary market flat might end up costing 93-94 lakh after all charges, and might be 5-7 years old.

I bought from Strategic Developers in Sector 1 last year. They quoted 'final price' to me too. But after a month of back and forth, and me showing interest in another builder's project, they suddenly offered a 'special festive discount' of 1.5% and waived off one year of maintenance. So, yes, they do negotiate, just not upfront. They want to see how serious you are.

Be very, very careful with Strategic Developers. My brother booked a flat with them in Sector 79 (their other project) and possession is delayed by 3 years now. RERA mein complaint bhi kari hai, but process slow hai. Check their RERA status for this specific Sector 1 project before you even think about booking.

As an NRI investor, I've learned that 'no negotiation' often means 'we haven't found a desperate buyer yet'. But a 2-3% spot discount is very real, especially for bulk bookings or at quarter-end. My advice: send a formal email with your offer, cc'ing their sales head. Sometimes a paper trail works better than verbal promises. Brokers are good for initial info, but final deal direct builder se hi karna chahiye.

Bhai, if you're serious, try to find other buyers who are booking around the same time. Sometimes a group of 2-3 buyers can negotiate better as a 'bulk deal'. I did this for my flat in Sector 78; got a good discount on stamp duty and registration charges, which is almost 1.5-2% of the property value.

Bhai, this is the classic builder game. Strategic Developers are notorious for 'final price' but believe me, jab inventory pressure hota hai, they do budge. 2-3% is definitely achievable, especially towards quarter-end or financial year-end. Brokers sometimes have internal targets too, so they might push for a deal. But be careful, unka cut usually aapke discount se nikalta hai. Direct builder se hi try karo first, then involve a broker if stuck. School admission pressure I totally get, been there! Noida mein yahi sab chalta rehta hai.

Totally agree with U1. Strategic Developers ka track record mixed hai, especially with delivery timelines. Sector 1 is prime location, so demand rehti hai. But 95L for 3BHK, is it a ready-to-move unit or under construction? If under construction, then definitely push for a discount or at least some freebies like modular kitchen/ACs. Brokers will always promise the moon, but rarely deliver beyond PLC adjustments. Secondary market mein negotiation ka scope zyada hota hai, but make sure all papers are clear and transfer charges are reasonable.

OP, which specific project of Strategic Developers in Sector 1 are you looking at? They have a few. Aur area kitna hai 3BHK ka? 95 lakh sounds a bit high if it's an older project or smaller size. Agar new launch hai toh shayad negotiation tough ho, but for inventory jo 6-12 mahine se padi hai, they will definitely move. Brokers often get a higher commission if they sell at a certain price, so unka interest aligned nahi hota hamesha aapke saath.
