CasaGrand Highclere

CasaGrand Highclere is in Kundrathur, on the western side of Chennai. No street address, pincode or landmark has been published. Casagrand names Chrompet, Pallavaram, Poonamallee, Porur, Manapakkam and Iyyapanthangal as the belt this site serves. That gives you a sense of the belt, but not how long any trip takes.

Work out your family's weekly routine and test it from the gate. If you work towards Porur or Manapakkam, drive there at your usual hour and back in the evening. If you are headed south, try Pallavaram or Chrompet instead. Traffic on this side of the city can vary a lot by time of day, so one visit is not enough.

Then check the daily basics. Pick the school your children would attend, a hospital with an emergency ward and a supermarket you would use, and time each trip. Ask whether buses or shared autos run near the entrance for anyone who does not drive.

Because the published address stops at the locality, ask the sales team for the exact plot and the approach road. Look at whether that road is paved, lit and wide enough for the traffic 330 households will bring.

CasaGrand Highclere offered two bedroom counts. The 2 BHK plans, about 1,056 and 1,108 sq ft, have all been booked. The 3 BHK plans, about 1,503 and 1,511 sq ft, are still on sale. The published sizes are not labelled carpet or saleable, so ask for both.

The 1,503 sq ft plan starts at Rs. 92 Lakhs, which works out to about Rs. 6,100 per sq ft. No price is published for the 1,511 sq ft plan. With only 8 sq ft between them, ask to see both layouts and choose on room shape, balcony and facing.

Since the homes are under construction, GST is charged on the building portion. Stamp duty and registration are payable on every purchase. Ask for a cost sheet with:

• The base rate and the area it is charged on
• Floor-rise charges, since the building has 15 floors
• Preferred location or facing charges
• Car parking and number of bays
• Club membership and maintenance deposit
• GST as a separate line
• Stamp duty and registration

CasaGrand Highclere is registered with RERA as TN/1/Building/0177/2025. Look it up on the TNRERA website before you pay a token. Check that the promoter is Casagrand, that 330 homes are registered, and note the declared completion date, since no possession date is published anywhere else.

With the buildings still going up, there is no occupancy certificate yet. At this stage, ask for:

• The RERA registration certificate
• The sanctioned building plan with your flat marked
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the 3.08 acres
• A draft agreement for sale with a handover date and delay penalty
• The payment plan linked to construction stages

Release each instalment only when the stage it covers is visible on site. If you take a home loan, the bank's legal team will review these same papers, which is a useful second check.

If you are buying a sold-out 2 BHK from an existing owner, add the seller's allotment letter, receipts and Casagrand's written consent to the transfer.

At handover, collect the occupancy certificate and register the sale deed in your name. Then transfer the property tax and electricity accounts.

CasaGrand Highclere puts 330 homes in buildings of 15 floors on 3.08 acres, with a clubhouse of 8,500 sq ft at the centre of shared life. The tower count has not been published, and any images are renders as planned by the developer.

A morning could start in the gymnasium or with a class in the yoga and zumba room. Swimmers have a lap pool, and younger children have their own shallow pool beside it. For a slower start, try the meditation space, or walk the reflexology path.

After school, children can use the play area. Dog owners get a pet park, which is still uncommon in compact projects. The mini golf area gives families something to do together on a weekend afternoon.

Evenings are where this project stands out. A rooftop theatre means a film under the open sky without leaving the building. The multi-purpose party hall handles birthdays and small functions.

With 330 households sharing one clubhouse, ask how bookings for the hall and theatre will work. Ask what the monthly maintenance charge will be, and which facilities will be ready on the day you get your keys.
