The Price on the Brochure Is Not the Price You Pay: Hidden Costs of Buying a Home in Hyderabad
You found your dream flat. The brochure says a number that fits your budget, and you are already imagining the housewarming. Then the real list of costs arrives, and the number grows.
Cost 1: Stamp duty, transfer duty & registration fee
For urban residential property in Telangana, the total is about 6 per cent: 4% stamp duty, 1.5% transfer duty and 0.5% registration fee.
Cost 2: GST on under-construction flats
GST applies to under-construction flats (1% affordable, 5% standard), but NOT to ready flats with a completion certificate.
