Floor rise

Floor rise is a developer's charge that makes a higher floor cost more to buy, floor by floor, for the better view, air, and quiet it is assumed to bring.

( SCROLL ↓ )

It is mainly a sale-time term, added to a flat's price before it is ever sold the first time. For a renter, it rarely appears as its own charge, but it is often the real reason two similar homes in the same building ask different rents, since a higher floor carries the same preference the original charge was built around. When two homes in the same building ask different rents, we check whether the floor, not the home, explains it.

Floor rise

A rental term, explained for Bengaluru.

A term is defined from the statute or from the practice, with the source named beside it. Where Bengaluru's practice differs from the law, the page says so rather than choosing one.

The glossary knows the word. The desk knows the home.
