Assetz Sun and Sanctum

Assetz Sun and Sanctum stands on Kithaganur Main Road at Battarahalli, Survey No. 58/1, near Thambu Chetty Palya, pincode 560049. The site is on the eastern edge of the city, a turn off Old Madras Road. That road is your link inward to the city centre and outward towards K R Puram and on to Whitefield, the two destinations the developer names. No distances have been published for any of them, so none are quoted here.

A working day would begin on Kithaganur Main Road and join Old Madras Road at its busiest hour. Whether your office is in Whitefield or in town, the first kilometre from the gate to the main road will decide more of your commute than the highway does. Drive it at 9 am and again at 6 pm before you book, and try the same trip on a weekday evening when the market traffic is out.

Battarahalli has grown its own schools, clinics and shops as the housing along Old Madras Road has spread, so daily errands can stay local. Larger shopping and hospitals mean a drive towards K R Puram. Ask the sales team for the nearest bus stop and the state of the approach road in the monsoon. With 321 households and five towers sharing one gate, also check how the entry and exit are managed at peak hours.

Assetz Sun and Sanctum was built in three layouts. The 2 BHK is roughly 1,215 sq ft, priced from Rs. 1.21 Crore, close to Rs. 10,000 per sq ft. The two-bathroom 3 BHK is roughly 1,428 sq ft from Rs. 1.41 Crore, near Rs. 9,900 per sq ft. The three-bathroom 3 BHK is roughly 1,646 sq ft, priced from Rs. 1.66 Crore, about Rs. 10,100 per sq ft. The developer has not said whether these areas are built-up or saleable, and no carpet areas are published, so ask for both.

Only starting prices are available. In a 14-floor tower the same plan on a high floor with a garden view will cost more than the entry figure, and the five towers will not all be priced alike. Ask for a unit-wise list, and ask which flats are still with Assetz Property. Anything bought from an owner is priced by that owner, and the launch figures are only a reference.

A completed flat with its occupancy certificate carries no GST. Stamp duty and registration are payable on the full sale consideration in Karnataka on every purchase. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• The area the price is charged on, and whether it is built-up or saleable
• Floor-rise and facing premiums for the specific flat
• Car parking and the number of bays included
• Clubhouse membership and the maintenance deposit
• Any transfer fee from the owners' association on a resale
• Stamp duty and registration as separate lines

Assetz Sun and Sanctum has no RERA registration number published by the developer for this project. Ask Assetz Property for it and check the entry on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in). A project of five towers handed over in 2024 would ordinarily be registered, so if the sales team cannot produce a number, treat that as a question to settle before you pay a booking amount.

Because handover started in April 2024, the purchase is of a completed home. Ask for:

• The occupancy certificate for your tower
• The sanctioned building plan showing your flat
• The mother deed and the chain of title for Survey No. 58/1
• An encumbrance certificate covering the years since the land was acquired
• The khata and the most recent paid property tax receipt
• A no-dues letter from the owners' association

If you buy from the developer, the sale registers on a sale deed rather than an agreement to sell, and the khata is transferred to you afterwards. If you buy from an owner, add the seller's registered sale deed and confirm the same name appears on the khata and the tax receipt. A lawyer's title opinion is a small cost against a Rs. 1.2 Crore purchase.

Assetz Sun and Sanctum groups five towers of 14 floors on part of a 4.17-acre plot, with 69% of the ground kept clear of buildings. That open share is the point of the design: the towers are grouped so that the courts, the jogging track, the amphitheatre and the gardens can take the larger part of the site. Since the project is built, you can check the plan against the grounds rather than trust a render.

A morning here might start with a circuit of the jogging track while the towers are still in shade, then a session in the gymnasium before work. After school the outdoor courts and the kids' play area fill up, and the games room with its table tennis takes over once it gets dark. The swimming pool is the weekend anchor for families.

Evenings belong to the amphitheatre, which is where the community's festival programmes and film nights happen, and to the party area for private functions. The clubhouse holds the sauna rooms and the indoor spaces. With 321 households sharing these, ask the owners' association what the monthly charge per flat is, which facilities are staffed, and whether the pool and clubhouse are open on all days. Ask too how many lifts each tower has, because on the 12th floor that matters more than the amphitheatre.
