Bengaluru Couple Spends ₹2.53 Lakh Moving Into 3BHK
Bharatmorningnews.com – Relocating to a new home is never cheap, especially when you're moving across cities. A Bengaluru couple recently shared their complete moving experience on social media, revealing they spent ₹2.53 lakh to settle into their new three-bedroom apartment. The detailed breakdown has resonated with thousands of viewers who are planning similar moves.
The couple, Ana Mishra and Ishan, documented every expense through an Instagram video that quickly gained traction. From security deposits to brokerage fees, furniture rentals to internet transfers, they left no stone unturned in tracking their relocation costs.
Understanding the Complete Cost Breakdown
Ana Mishra explained that she and Ishan had recently moved into a spacious 3BHK unit in South Bengaluru. While Ana was already living in the city, Ishan had relocated from Kolkata to be with her. This interstate move added complexity to their relocation process.
"Our largest expenditure naturally went toward the deposit, and we handed over 1.5 lakhs for a 3 BHK apartment in South Bangalore," she noted in the video.
The couple decided to work with a broker rather than searching for accommodation independently. "Finding accommodation without intermediary help is certainly possible, but we preferred not to handle everything solo, so having a broker proved invaluable, and their fee amounted to one month's rent at 37,000," Mishra clarified.
Transporting furniture from Kolkata to Bengaluru required professional packers and movers services. The couple moved a bed, shoe rack, dining table, and a king-size sofa, which cost them ₹60,000 in total.
"We shipped our bed, shoe rack, dining table, king-size sofa, and the entire process cost us 60,000 rupees, which proved entirely worthwhile. Every item arrived intact without damage or scratches," she explained.
Beyond the major expenses, there were several smaller but significant costs. Ana allocated ₹3,000 for transferring her personal items from her former Bengaluru residence. The couple also secured rental arrangements for essential appliances—a washing machine, refrigerator, and water purifier—paying ₹2,800 monthly. Transferring their Wi-Fi service incurred an additional ₹700 charge.
"Ultimately, our complete relocation journey cost 2,53,500 rupees," Mishra stated, noting that this sum excluded expenditures on decorations and supplementary purchases for their new dwelling.
Where Is the Apartment Located?
The video generated considerable engagement from viewers curious about Bangalore real estate. One individual questioned, "In which South Blr area is the rent for 3BHK only 37k?" Mishra promptly replied, "AECS layout, Singasandra."
Several viewers expressed appreciation for the comprehensive breakdown. One commenter wrote, "So helpful Ana, really love your informative video," while another stated, "Needed this informative breakdown." A third person added, "As always informative."
She uploaded the video alongside the caption, "Breaking down how much we spent moving into a new apartment in Bangalore."
