5 Additional Costs You Must Consider Before Buying A Home

If you wish to buy a home that goes easy on the pocket, be prepared to pay additional costs that you will be charged before and after owning a home. 

Mentioned below are the extra charges that you will have to pay after buying a home:

– Preferential Location Charges (PLC) :

Based on your preferred floor or direction like east-facing or corner flat, these charges are builder based. A lot of developers also charge more for units that are amenity-facing. 

– Maintenance Charges :

According to a new trend, developers now charge maintenance charges. These charges may range from a period of 2 years to 10 years and even for a lifetime in a few places. 

– Stamp duty, taxes & registration fees :

The registration fees and stamp duty varies from state to state. Under construction, properties charge for VAT and service tax.

– Brokerage :

Brokerage is the fee charged by the broker, the middleman between the buyer and the seller. On an average, a broker charges 1% to 2% of the property cost. 

– Cost of Interiors :

Often, after taking possession of the property, you may want to make a few changes to the interiors and end up spending quite a lot of money. The amount you spend on the interiors will depend on the type and nature of interior work.  On an average, approximately 2% of the cost of property, if not more, is spent on the interiors.
