Assetz Lifestyle 63 Degree East

Assetz Lifestyle 63 Degree East stands at Kodathi village in Varthur Hobli, off Sarjapur Road at Chikkakannalli, near Bengaluru Technological Institute, pincode 560035. This is open, green country rather than a built-up main road, and the trade for that quiet is distance. The developer has published three figures: about 15 km to Whitefield, 16 km or so to the Outer Ring Road and roughly 19 km to Electronic City. Marathahalli is reached by road, with no distance given.

Those numbers mean a car or bike commute for almost everyone, and Sarjapur Road's traffic is the variable. Drive each leg at the time you would actually travel, morning out and evening back, and treat the evening figure as the real one. Ask residents which route they use to the Outer Ring Road and whether it changes with the season.

Schools and colleges, hospitals, banks and malls are described as available in the area, though none is named or measured. Ask which school buses stop at the gate, where the nearest clinic is, and how long the grocery run takes. A community with six years of residents will have those answers ready.

Assetz Lifestyle 63 Degree East has four layouts, quoted as built-up area, and the tower matters. Tower A has the smallest three-bedroom at about 1,191 sq ft. Tower E has two three-bedroom sizes, about 1,403 sq ft or 1,430 sq ft, and the only four-bedroom, about 2,410 sq ft. Carpet areas have not been published, so ask the seller for the plan of the exact flat and check which tower it is in.

Every unit is sold out with Assetz Property, so there is no price list. The last published rate was Rs. 4,250 per sq ft, from the original selling period, and a resale six years after handover will not follow it. Ask for the registered value of recent sales in the same tower and compare per sq ft; a Tower E flat and a Tower A flat may not trade at the same rate even with similar bedroom counts.

A completed flat with its occupancy certificate carries no GST. Stamp duty and registration on the agreed value apply. Ask for a written breakdown showing:

• Agreed price and the area it rests on, with tower, floor and facing
• Car parking bays and whether they appear in the deed
• Maintenance dues cleared to date and the deposit being transferred
• Association transfer or no-objection fee
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value
• Brokerage, if an agent is involved

Assetz Lifestyle 63 Degree East does not yet show a published RERA registration number. A project handed over in December 2019 would ordinarily have been registered while under construction. Ask the seller or the owners' association for the number and check it on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in). The project is described as approved by BBMP/BDA, which you verify from the sanctioned plan rather than take on trust.

For a resale in a completed tower, ask for:

• Occupancy certificate for the tower
• Sanctioned building plan showing the flat as built
• The seller's sale deed from Assetz Property and the agreement before it
• Khata in the seller's name and the latest property tax receipt
• A fresh encumbrance certificate covering the years since the seller bought
• No-dues and no-objection letters from the association

Registration is by sale deed, followed by a khata transfer into your name. If the seller has a home loan, agree in writing how it is closed and when the bank releases the original documents. Walk the flat with the sanctioned plan and ask about any change to balconies or internal walls, since an unapproved alteration passes to you at registration.

Assetz Lifestyle 63 Degree East spreads six towers of 13 floors and 399 flats over 17.75 acres, a low-density plan by Sarjapur Road standards. The gap between the towers is where the amenity list lives. The developer has not published the share of open space, so ask the association for the sanctioned plan and see how the towers, courts and gardens divide the site. Everything here has been in use since December 2019, so judge it as built.

A morning might begin on the jogging and skating track, then a swim or the gymnasium. Evenings offer tennis, badminton and other sports courts, or the cricket practice pitch. Indoors there is a library, an indoor games room with billiards and table tennis, and a yoga deck; older residents have a corner of their own and children a play area. The amphitheatre, the multipurpose area and the community hall host gatherings, and retail spaces inside the grounds handle daily needs.

The flats were specified with marble in the living and dining areas, laminated wooden flooring in the master bedroom and vitrified tiles in the other bedrooms. The main door is hardwood with teak veneer, the windows mosquito-meshed aluminium, and the kitchen counter granite. Ask what the maintenance charge is per sq ft and look at the association's accounts, because 399 owners fund a large amenity set between them.
