Apartment Cost Breakdown Guide
Understanding the True Cost of an Apartment in Hyderabad
The price a builder advertises is rarely the final amount you pay. The real cost of an apartment in Hyderabad is built up from several components, and understanding each one helps you compare projects fairly and avoid surprises at registration. This guide breaks down every charge — from the base price to the hidden costs that appear after possession.
A typical cost sheet for a project like Prestige Golden Grove is made up of:
- Base Selling Price (BSP) — the per-sq-ft rate multiplied by the saleable area.
- Floor-rise charges — a premium added for higher floors with better views.
- Car parking charges — for covered or open parking bays.
- Amenity / clubhouse and preferred-location (view-facing) charges.
- GST — currently 5% on under-construction homes (without input credit).
- Registration & stamp duty as per Telangana rates.
- Maintenance deposit and corpus fund collected at handover.
Two apartments of the same size can carry very different final prices once floor rise, facing and parking are added. Explore the detailed guides below to understand each charge before you book.
