These are ranked depending on a mixture of brand worth, pricing power, and their position as in investment labels.

Why These Brands Command such high prices.
Scarcity & Waitlists: Some brands such as Hermes deliberately restrict supply to make sure that the demand is always higher than supply, and may take years of client history before a purchase is permitted.
Investment Value: Some Chanel and Rolex products are considered as wearable assets where the value in the secondary market usually sells higher than the retail price.
Artisanal Craftsmanship: Although many of these houses are now using hand-stitching and traditional techniques (such as the sellier stitch at Hermès) that require dozens of hours per item.
Vertical Integration: The highest-end brands (especially those in the LVMH or Kering umbrellas) have ownership of all aspects of their manufacturing, including sourcing of rare leathers to owning of their flagship stores.
Explanation: Although such brands as Balmain, Tom Ford, and Brioni tend to have higher prices on entry-level products per piece, they generally fall below the total brand value of the three major brands (Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Chanel).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between carpet area and super area?
Carpet area is the usable space inside your walls; super area adds a share of common areas. Always confirm the carpet area you actually get before comparing prices.
What extra costs come beyond the price in Gurgaon and NCR?
Budget for stamp duty and registration, GST on under-construction homes, parking, club and maintenance deposits, and loan fees. Ask for a full cost sheet upfront.
How does Realty Hunting help me buy in Gurgaon and NCR?
We share verified listings, honest area advice and the real paperwork picture, and connect you with builders and sellers. Reach out and we will shortlist options that fit your budget.
Should I buy ready-to-move or under-construction in Gurgaon and NCR?
Ready homes have no wait, no GST and no build risk but cost more; under-construction is cheaper with a longer wait. Choose by your timeline and risk appetite.
How do I book a property in Gurgaon and NCR?
Shortlist, visit, check the papers and RERA, then pay the booking amount and sign the agreement. Read the payment plan and cancellation terms before you commit.
Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Gurgaon and NCR?
For anything beyond a simple, clean deal it helps. A lawyer vets the title, the agreement and the approvals, which is cheap insurance against a costly mistake.
What is a builder-buyer agreement?
It is the core contract between you and the developer, setting the price, payment plan, area, specifications and possession date. Read it fully before signing.
What is an occupancy certificate and why does it matter?
It certifies a building is legally fit to occupy. Never take possession of a completed home without it, since it affects loans, utilities and resale.
What is mutation and why is it important?
Mutation updates the ownership in municipal and revenue records after a sale. Without it the property tax and records still point to the old owner, so get it done.
What credit score do I need for a home loan?
Lenders prefer a healthy score, usually in the mid-700s and above, for the best rates. A lower score can still get a loan but often at a higher rate.
Can I claim tax benefits on a home loan?
Yes, home-loan principal and interest carry deductions under the income tax rules, subject to limits and conditions. Confirm the current rules or ask a tax adviser.
What is the difference between freehold and leasehold?
Freehold gives you full, permanent ownership of the property and land; leasehold runs for a fixed term from an authority. Freehold is generally simpler to resell.
How do I check a builder's track record?
Look at delivered projects, delivery delays, the RERA record and buyer reviews. A builder with a clean, on-time record lowers your risk sharply.
What red flags should I watch for when buying?
Unclear title, missing approvals or RERA, pending dues, a builder with delays, and prices far below the market. If something feels rushed, slow down and verify.
What is the difference between capital appreciation and rental yield?
Appreciation is the rise in the property value over time; rental yield is the annual rent as a share of the price. Most Indian homes give modest yield and rely on appreciation.
How much should I keep as a buffer beyond the price?
Set aside for stamp duty, registration, GST where it applies, interiors, and a contingency. A buffer of a meaningful share above the base price is prudent.
