Alchemy Real Estate

On bangaloreprop, Alchemy Real Estate is linked to one finished apartment community: Alembic Urban Forest in Whitefield, east Bangalore. It offers 2 BHK, 3 BHK and 3.5 BHK homes, and the last listed price starts at Rs. 1.78 Cr.

A note on the name

The project itself carries the Alembic name, and our site also has a separate page for Alembic Real Estate, which lists another Whitefield community. If the developer's identity matters to your decision, ask the seller to show you the company named on the original sale deed and the occupancy certificate.

Urban Forest at a glance

• Land: about 8.23 acres.
• Homes: 636 flats in two, three and three-and-a-half bedroom plans.
• Handover: December 2018, so families have lived here for several years.

Because the towers are finished and occupied, you can judge the place as it really is. Visit at different times of day, look at lift and lobby upkeep, and talk to residents about water, power backup and the monthly maintenance bill.

The Whitefield setting

Whitefield grew around the ITPL tech park and is now one of the city's largest employment hubs. The Purple Line of Namma Metro reaches it, which helps if you commute towards the city centre. Traffic on Whitefield Main Road and the roads to Marathahalli can still be heavy at peak hours.

Buying resale here

Most homes in a project this age change hands as resale. Ask for the mother deed and sale deed chain, the khata and tax receipts in the seller's name, and a no-dues letter from the owners' association. Confirm in writing which parking slot comes with the flat. A bank's legal check on the title costs little next to the price of the home.

This community suits a family that wants to move straight in near a Whitefield office, and prefers to see a building before paying for it.
