Buying a new home is one of the biggest milestones in life. It’s exciting, emotional — and sometimes overwhelming. While most homebuyers focus on the price per square foot or loan EMIs, many are caught off guard by hidden costs that quietly pile up during the buying journey.
In this blog, we break down the real costs behind the price tag — and how you can avoid surprises. If you’re planning to buy a plot or a ready-to-move home in a project like Tanishk Enclave, this guide will help you budget smartly and confidently.
- Stamp Duty and Registration Charges
Cost: 7% to 10% of the property value
These are government-mandated charges for legally registering your property. In Ahmedabad, rates may vary based on buyer gender and property location.
Tip: Always ask your developer or legal advisor for an exact estimate. Women buyers may be eligible for lower stamp duty — a smart reason to consider joint ownership.
- GST on Under-Construction Properties
Cost: 5% on under-construction properties (0% on ready-to-move homes)
Under-construction properties attract Goods and Services Tax. But ready-for-possession homes or plots with a completion certificate are GST-exempt.
Tip: At Tanishk Enclave, many units are in the final development phase or fully ready, helping buyers avoid GST and take possession faster.
- Maintenance Charges
Usual Cost Elsewhere: ₹1,000–₹5,000/month or one-time ₹50,000+
Most housing societies charge monthly or upfront maintenance fees for security, lighting, landscaping, and upkeep of common areas.
But here’s the good news — at Tanishk Enclave, you enjoy Lifetime Free Maintenance. That’s right — no monthly society charges or hidden costs after possession. It’s a benefit few developers offer.
- Parking Charges
Usual Cost Elsewhere: ₹1–3 lakh per parking spot
Many gated communities charge separately for car parking, adding a hefty fee after you’ve agreed on the base price.
At Tanishk Enclave, every home comes with 2 Allotted Car Parking Spaces — absolutely free. No extra cost, no confusion. It’s just part of how we deliver better value.
- Legal and Documentation Fees
Cost: ₹5,000–₹25,000 depending on property type
Legal expenses include lawyer fees for title verification, sale deed drafting, and registration assistance.
Tip: Always engage a lawyer to verify the land title and check for RERA registration. A developer like Tanishk Enclave provides complete documentation, reducing the need for costly back-and-forth.
- Home Loan Processing Fees
Cost: 0.25% to 1% of loan amount + GST
Banks charge this to process your loan application. Some may also add technical evaluation or legal opinion fees.
Tip: Look for festive offers or pre-approved loans with your developer. We help buyers connect with partner banks for smoother processing and better rates.
- Interior & Furnishing Expenses
Cost: ₹2–10 lakh depending on your lifestyle
New homes are usually sold without furniture or fittings. Buyers often spend extra on wardrobes, lighting, kitchen cabinets, and décor.
Tip: Budget for essential items first. You can always upgrade interiors in stages based on usage and savings.
- Utility Connection Charges
Cost: ₹10,000–₹50,000
Water, electricity, gas, and internet connections come with setup costs and deposits.
Tip: Ask your developer what’s included. At Tanishk Enclave, most utility infrastructure is already in place — making connections smoother and faster for residents.
- Possession Delays (Rent + EMI Overlap)
Cost: Thousands/month if project delivery is late
If possession is delayed, you might end up paying rent and EMIs simultaneously, which strains your finances.
Tip: Choose a developer with a proven track record. Tanishk Enclave has RERA registration, committed timelines, and transparency — ensuring you move in on time.
