Amrutha Sarovar

Amrutha Sarovar is at Devender Colony, Kompally, pincode 500100, on the northern side of Hyderabad. Kompally is a developed suburb, and because this building has been lived in since 2015, the streets and shops around it are settled rather than still forming.

No distances to offices, stations, schools or hospitals have been published, so we do not give any. Work out your own journeys instead. Drive from the gate to your workplace at your usual hour, then make the return trip in the evening. If your children will change schools, time that run as well.

A completed project gives you an advantage here. You can talk to people who already live in the building about their commute, the nearest markets and how the roads behave in the monsoon. Ask two or three residents rather than relying on the sales desk.

Inside the gate, the on-site supermarket, clinic and pharmacy cut down on small trips. Check how many parking bays come with the flat you are offered and whether visitor parking is managed.

Amrutha Sarovar has two plans, both quoted as built-up area. The 2 BHK is about 1,156 sq ft and the 3 BHK about 1,627 sq ft. Carpet areas have not been published, so ask for them, and measure the rooms during your visit.

The 2 BHK is quoted from Rs. 67 Lakhs up to Rs. 79 Lakhs, and the 3 BHK from Rs. 95 Lakhs up to Rs. 1.17 Crore. On built-up area, that comes to roughly Rs. 5,800 to Rs. 7,200 per sq ft across both plans. Because the flats are finished, no GST applies, but Telangana stamp duty and registration are payable on the sale value.

Before you agree a price, ask for a written statement that covers:

• The flat number, floor, facing and built-up and carpet areas
• Car parking bays and whether they are covered
• Pending maintenance dues and who clears them
• Any transfer fee charged by the owners' association
• Stamp duty and registration on the agreed value
• Whether furniture or fittings are included

Amrutha Sarovar lists no RERA number for this project. It was handed over from 2015, before the RERA law came into force in 2017, so a registration may not exist. You can still search the Telangana RERA portal (TS-RERA) by name, but for a finished building the certificates below matter more.

Ask the seller for:

• The occupancy certificate for the building
• The sanctioned building plan showing your flat
• The seller's registered sale deed and the earlier title chain
• An encumbrance certificate covering at least 30 years
• The latest property tax receipt in the seller's name
• A no-dues letter from the owners' association

If you buy from an owner rather than the developer, ask your lawyer to trace every earlier sale of the flat. If the seller has a home loan, the bank must release the original documents before registration.

After you register the sale deed, move the property tax account and the electricity meter into your name. Also register with the owners' association.

Amrutha Sarovar houses the whole community in one 8-storey building on a 2-acre site, sharing a clubhouse of about 16,000 sq ft. Since the project is finished, what you see on a visit is what you get, so walk the grounds instead of relying on pictures.

A morning might begin on the jogging and walking track or on the meditation and yoga decks, then move to the gym or the pool. Younger children have a play area and a tot-lot, and older ones can use the sports courts after school. Grandparents get their own seating area, which is a small detail that matters in a family building.

Everyday errands stay close. The supermarket covers groceries, and the clinic and pharmacy handle minor health needs without a drive. Evenings and weekends can go to the indoor games room, and larger family functions to the banquet hall.

With 231 homes sharing a single set of facilities, ask the owners' association how the pool and clubhouse are booked and what they cost to run. Check the condition of each amenity yourself, because ten years of use shows.
