ASBL Landmark

ASBL Landmark stands at Bhavani Nagar in Moosapet, pincode 500072, facing NH 65 by the Perati weighbridge. That is the Kukatpally Y Junction side of north-west Hyderabad, an older, busy part of town rather than a new corridor. The developer has not published distances to offices, schools or hospitals, so we quote none.

The Moosapet Metro station gives you a train into the city without a car, which helps if you work around Ameerpet. If your office is in HITEC City, the drive is the part to test, since this stretch of road is heavy at peak hours. Time both legs at your real office hour before you book.

Living on a national highway brings convenience and noise together. Ask which side of the plot each tower faces, and visit a flat on the road side in the evening to hear it for yourself. Also ask how 676 households will enter and leave, and where visitors will park. Schools, hospitals and markets are already around Kukatpally, so list the ones you use and check the trip times.

ASBL Landmark offers fourteen layouts, all quoted as built-up area. Five are 3 BHK homes of about 1,645, 1,740, 1,805, 1,975 and 2,065 sq ft, costing Rs. 1.43 Crore to Rs. 1.77 Crore. Eight are 3.5 BHK homes measuring about 2,065 up to 2,560 sq ft, starting at Rs. 1.78 Crore and reaching Rs. 2.17 Crore. The single 4 BHK is about 2,860 sq ft and starts at Rs. 2.42 Crore.

The rate drifts from about Rs. 8,700 per sq ft on the smallest plan to about Rs. 8,500 on the largest. These are starting prices, so floor and facing will move them. GST is payable because the homes are under construction, and stamp duty and registration are extra. Ask the sales team for a cost sheet with:

• Base rate and the area it is charged on
• Carpet area of your unit
• Floor-rise and facing premiums
• Car parking and clubhouse charges
• Maintenance deposit
• GST, stamp duty and registration as separate items

ASBL Landmark has no RERA registration number published for this project. Ask ASBL Ashoka Builders for it and look it up on the Telangana RERA portal (TS-RERA) before paying. The entry shows the declared completion date and the approved building details, including the height of each tower.

Before booking a unit that is still being built, ask for:

• The RERA certificate and the approved layout
• Title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the 6.6 acres
• The sanctioned plan for your tower, with your unit marked
• Any highway or access permission for the NH 65 frontage
• A draft agreement for sale with the handover date and a construction-linked payment plan

If you need a home loan, ask which banks have approved the project. At handover, take the occupancy certificate for your tower, the registered sale deed and the property tax assessment in your name. File every receipt, since you will need them at resale.

ASBL Landmark is planned as four towers on 6.6 acres, with a clubhouse of 52,000 sq ft, courts, gardens and a temple shared by all 676 homes. The developer has not published the open-space share, so ask for the approved site plan. Images shown to you are renders as planned by the developer.

A day could begin in the yoga studio or on the jogging track, followed by the gym or the pool. Parents who work from home have a co-working space, and the supermarket, clinic and chemist mean fewer trips out on the highway. Children get a choice of five different play areas, plus multiple sports courts once they are older.

Evenings and weekends lean social. The temple and cultural centre give the community a place for festivals, the party area takes family events, and the indoor games area covers the monsoon months. The salon and spa round off the week. Ask which of these open with the first towers and which follow later, since a clubhouse that opens after you move in changes the first year of living here.
