Capstone Life Flowing Tree

Capstone Life Flowing Tree stands at number 8/2 on Allasandra Main Road in Allasandra Village, part of Yelahanka in north Bengaluru, pincode 560065. Yelahanka is a large residential district on the north side, and this is a settled part of it rather than a new corridor. No distances to offices, stations or schools have been published, so we quote none, and the routes that matter are the ones you should drive yourself.

The daily question is how Allasandra Main Road behaves at the hours you keep. Drive from the gate to your workplace at your normal leaving time and back in the evening. The developer has not named the routes into the centre, so the time each one takes is something to measure, not assume. Ask residents which route they use into the centre and how long it takes on a weekday.

Because the building has been occupied for three years, the neighbourhood is what you see, not what a brochure promises. Walk out of the gate and find the nearest grocery, pharmacy, school and bus stop. Ask the owners' association about water supply and how the road copes in the rains. In a resale, the people already living there are your best source of answers.

Capstone Life Flowing Tree was built in two layouts and ten sizes, all quoted as built-up area. The two-bedroom flats measure about 1,324, 1,349 and 1,782 sq ft. The three-bedroom flats run from about 1,556 sq ft through 1,617, 1,626, 1,635, 1,716 and 1,730 sq ft to a 2,688 sq ft plan, the largest home in the building. Carpet areas were not published, so ask the owner for the sanctioned plan or measure the rooms yourself.

The developer has sold out, so there is no entry price to quote. When it was selling, prices began at Rs. 1.22 Crore, which on the 1,324 sq ft plan is about Rs. 9,200 per sq ft. Use that only to see how far the market has moved. Today the asking price is the owner's, and it will differ by floor, facing and condition even between two flats of the same size.

On a resale, no GST is payable. Stamp duty and registration are due on the price you agree, and the association may charge a transfer fee. Before you fix a price, ask for:

• The flat's floor, facing and any changes made since handover
• The monthly maintenance charge and any arrears the seller owes
• The association's transfer fee for a change of owner
• Whether the sale includes a car parking bay and which one
• Any outstanding home loan on the flat and the bank's foreclosure figure
• Recent registered sale values in the building, to test the asking price

Capstone Life Flowing Tree has no RERA registration number published by the developer for this building. Ask the seller or the owners' association whether one exists and look it up on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in) either way. A building handed over in March 2023 should have been registered while it was being built, and the entry will show the approved plan and the promoter's completion date.

This is a resale in a completed building, so your checks are about the seller's title and the building's status. Ask for:

• The seller's registered sale deed and every earlier deed back to Capstone Life
• The occupancy certificate for the building
• Khata in the seller's name and the most recent tax receipt
• An encumbrance certificate for the flat covering the years since 2023
• The sanctioned plan showing the flat as built, to spot unapproved changes
• A no-dues letter from the association and the last few maintenance receipts
• The seller's allotment letter and possession letter from the developer

If the seller has a home loan running, get the bank's foreclosure letter and time your payment so the loan closes at or before registration. Register the sale deed, pay the stamp duty and registration due on it, and then apply for the khata transfer into your name. Until that transfer is done, the tax records still show the seller.

Capstone Life Flowing Tree is a single building of 15 floors with 134 flats, which is a small community by the standards of a township. The developer has not published an amenity list, the number of flats per floor, the number of lifts or the open space around the building. Nothing here is a render; everything has been in use since March 2023, so the answers come from a visit, not a brochure.

Walk the common areas on a weekday evening. See how long a lift takes to arrive at seven o'clock, whether the lobby, corridors and stairwells are clean and lit, and where visitor parking goes. Ask which floor the flat is on and what faces its windows, since a 15-floor building on a main road will be quieter on one side than the other. If there is a terrace, a garden or a community room, ask whether residents can use it and how it is booked.

Then meet the owners' association. With 134 households the accounts are small enough to read in an afternoon. Ask for the monthly maintenance charge, what it covers, the size of the sinking fund and whether the power backup and water systems have needed repair. A well-run small building is a good place to live; a poorly run one shows it within three years, and this one has had exactly that long.
