Assetz Codename Urban Sanctum

Assetz Codename Urban Sanctum lies off Hosa Road in the southern part of Bengaluru, pincode 560066. Hosa Road runs between Hosur Road on one side and Sarjapur Road on the other, which gives you two ways out of the neighbourhood. Head to Hosur Road for Electronic City; go the other way for Sarjapur Road and, beyond it, HSR Layout. The developer has not published distances or travel times to any of these, so drive both routes at the hour you would actually use them.

A weekday here is likely to mean a car or bike commute rather than a walk to the office. Schools, hospitals and everyday shopping have grown up along Hosa Road itself, so short errands stay local. For anything bigger you are back on the arterials, and both carry heavy evening traffic, so test them in the evening peak before you decide.

Because this is a 40-acre plotted layout rather than a single tower, check the approach road to the gate as carefully as the main roads. Ask how wide it is, whether it is tarred all the way, and who maintains it. A plot you will build on in two or three years needs an approach that lorries can use, not just cars.

Assetz Codename Urban Sanctum offers three plot sizes, all quoted as plot area. The smallest is 30 x 40 feet, or 1,200 sq ft, from Rs. 1.21 Crore. The middle size is 30 x 50 feet, or 1,500 sq ft, from Rs. 1.51 Crore. The largest is 40 x 60 feet, or 2,400 sq ft, from Rs. 2.42 Crore. On those figures every size costs about Rs. 10,100 per sq ft, so you are paying for land, not for a size premium.

Only starting prices are published. Corner plots, plots facing a park or a wider road, and plots near the clubhouse are usually priced above the base, so ask for a plot-by-plot price list rather than a range. Remember that the land price is only the first bill; the construction of your house comes on top, on your own timeline and budget.

GST does not apply to the sale of a plot. Stamp duty and registration charges on the sale deed do, on the full consideration. Ask the sales team for a cost sheet that shows:

• Base price per sq ft and the exact plot area it applies to
• Any premium for corner, park-facing or road-facing plots
• Development or infrastructure charges, if billed separately
• Clubhouse membership and the maintenance deposit
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value
• Khata transfer and any legal fees

Assetz Codename Urban Sanctum has no RERA registration number published by Assetz Property. Ask for it, and check the entry on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in) before you pay anything. A plotted layout with roads, drains and a clubhouse still to be delivered falls under RERA, and the registration states the promised completion date. That is the clean way to reconcile the ready-to-move label with a possession date of 2026 onwards.

For a plot, the papers that matter concern the land, not a building. Ask for:

• The conversion order turning agricultural land to residential use
• Layout approval from the planning authority, with your plot number marked
• The release order covering the plots freed for sale
• Mother deed and title chain for the 40 acres, plus an encumbrance certificate
• The RERA certificate, once you have the number

At registration, insist on a sale deed for the plot with its dimensions and boundaries written in, followed by a khata in your name. If you plan to build, ask which authority will sanction your house plan and what the layout's own rules say about setbacks and height. A written statement of when roads, water, power and drainage will be complete belongs in the agreement, not in a conversation.

Assetz Codename Urban Sanctum spreads 499 plots across 40 acres, with a clubhouse and shared grounds serving all of them. The developer has not published how much of the 40 acres goes to roads, parks and common space, so ask for the sanctioned layout plan and count for yourself. Any renders you are shown are as planned by the developer, not photographs of what exists.

Picture a weekday morning: a run on the jogging track, a session in the gymnasium or a few lengths in the swimming pool, then home to your own house rather than a lift lobby. Children have a play area of their own and multiple sports courts for the evening, while the activity and yoga area gives adults a quieter option. Indoor games fill a wet afternoon.

Weekends can go to the landscaped gardens, a show at the amphitheatre, or a family function in the multipurpose party area. Retail spaces inside the layout are meant to cover daily needs without a trip out of the gate. Since every plot owner builds on their own schedule, ask which of these facilities are complete, which follow later, and what the monthly maintenance charge for them will be.
