Is This Property Priced Right?
Before you negotiate. Before you pay a token.
Most buyers overpay because pricing is presented in fragments — base price, add-ons, area confusion, and “premium” narratives. This page helps you validate the quote with a simple sanity framework so you don’t commit too early.
Why Buyers Misjudge Property Prices
Pricing is rarely presented as one clear number.
Brochure Pricing
Advertised prices rarely match the final payable cost.
Area Confusion
Carpet vs super built-up changes value perception.
Add-on Layering
PLC, floor rise, club fees quietly inflate total cost.
Urgency Pressure
Artificial scarcity reduces comparison and negotiation.
Wrong Comparisons
People compare projects, not real nearby alternatives.
Total Cost Ignored
Headline rate matters less than final all-in cost.
What a Real Price Sanity Check Includes
Not just ₹/sq ft — it’s logic + comparables + clarity.
Total cost (all-in)
Base + PLC + parking + club + taxes + maintenance + any “extras”.
Usable area reality
Judge value on carpet area and real layout usability.
Local comparables
Compare with similar properties nearby (not only within the same project).
Rental & exit logic
If the rent/yield and resale demand don’t support the price, it’s stretched.
Negotiation headroom
Identify what’s negotiable: base rate, PLC waiver, parking, charges, incentives.
Risk vs premium
Premium pricing must be backed by demand + location + liquidity — not marketing.
Ask for This
Get a Single Cost Sheet Before You Decide
Property prices often look reasonable at first — until additional charges appear later. This usually happens because costs are shared in parts.
A proper cost sheet puts everything in one place, so you know the true all-in amount before paying any token or booking amount.
If pricing isn’t clear in writing, pause.
Base Price
Unit, tower, floor & area clearly stated
Add-ons
PLC, floor rise, parking, amenities
Taxes & Fees
GST, registration & statutory charges
Discounts
Any incentive clearly written
Common Pricing Traps
These tricks make prices look justified when they’re not.
“Premium Unit” Story
Premium matters only if future buyers pay for it too.
Floor Rise Overload
Higher floor doesn’t always mean higher resale value.
PLC Justification
“Facing” premiums should be tested against real demand.
Hidden Add-on Stacking
Parking, club, corpus, and charges inflate the final number.
“Everyone Is Buying”
Demand claims should be verified, not believed.
Token Pressure
Token first = leverage lost. Clarity first = savings.
Quick Check
A Quick Yes / No Test
If any answer is “no” — don’t rush.
You don’t need perfect data — you need clarity on fundamentals. This quick check tells you whether the quote is solid or needs more validation.
Think of it as a “stop-loss” step before you commit money.
- I have the complete all-in cost
- I know the carpet area and unit details
- I compared 2–3 alternatives in similar budget
- The price makes sense for resale / rent logic
- I’m not booking due to urgency pressure
When to Pause or Walk Away
If these happen, don’t force the deal.
- They refuse to share a clear, written cost sheet
- The price changes frequently without explanation
- You’re being rushed to pay token “today”
- Comparable alternatives look better at the same price
- The “premium” has no clear resale or rent logic
