Seeing the real numbers for a property in Sector 11 Rohini was a shocker. I was looking at a 3BHK from Kohli Builders, quoted around ₹2 Cr. Matlab, base price pe kitna negotiation possible hai? Phir yeh PLC, floor rise, parking, power backup... all these add-ons just inflate the cost so much. My parents keep saying hidden charges final bill mein nikalte hain. Is there actually any room to bring down the all-in cost, ya bas base price pe hi khelte hain? Honestly not sure how to factor in these extras for ROI.

U3, you're right to be suspicious. 'All inclusive' is rarely all-inclusive. Beyond PLC, floor rise, parking, power backup, watch out for club membership, development charges, maintenance charges (usually 1-2 years upfront), fire fighting charges, electrical meter connection charges, and even legal fees sometimes. RERA mandates that all charges must be disclosed in the Agreement for Sale, but builders often try to sneak in 'future charges' or 'contingency fees'. Always ask for a *complete* breakup before paying even booking amount. And yes, RERA does require transparency, but enforcement can be slow.
Kohli Builders? Bhai, be very careful. I've heard horror stories about their projects in the past. Especially regarding possession dates and quality of construction. ₹2 Cr is a huge amount to invest without proper due diligence. Make sure you check their RERA compliance and past project delivery status thoroughly before even thinking about negotiation.
Yaar, same pinch! Rohini mein ₹2 Cr for a 3BHK? That's insane, especially from Kohli Builders. Their reputation isn't the best, heard a lot of complaints about project delays and quality issues from friends who looked at their Ansal Villas project. These builders always quote a base price that looks attractive, but then all the add-ons like PLC, floor rise, and especially IFMS just balloon the cost. Negotiation on base price is next to impossible, they usually only budge on these 'extras' if you're lucky, and even then, it's peanuts. My advice would be to look at the total cost sheet, not just the base price.
But U1, when you say 'hidden charges', what exactly should we be looking out for? My agent just keeps saying 'all inclusive' but I know that's a lie. Is there a RERA guideline for what they *must* disclose upfront?
Totally agree! Base price is just a bait. They never disclose the full picture initially.
