Concorde Royal Sunnyvale

Concorde Royal Sunnyvale stands at Chandapura, near Anekal Road, on the southern edge of Bengaluru. The developer has not published a full street address or pincode, so ask for the exact location before your first visit. Schools, colleges, hospitals, banks and supermarkets are all found in the surrounding neighbourhood.

For most buyers the draw is Electronic City, the IT hub a short way up the road. Chandapura lies further out along Hosur Road, so the daily trip to an office in Electronic City is a local drive rather than a cross-city commute.

Going into town is where the elevated expressway helps. It runs about 10 km from Silk Board Junction to Electronic City and cuts that stretch to under 20 minutes. Add the drive from Chandapura to the expressway, and test the full route at peak hour. If family members work in the north or east of the city, time those trips too.

Concorde Royal Sunnyvale comes in two villa types. The 3 BHK is given as about 1,435 sq ft, yet a range of about 1,435 to 2,200 sq ft is also listed for it. The 4 BHK is about 3,100 sq ft. It is not stated whether these figures are plot areas or built-up areas, so ask for both, along with carpet area.

No prices have been published; the developer quotes on request. Without a price, no rate per sq ft can be worked out, so collect quotes for more than one villa and compare them on the same basis. Corner and park-facing villas usually cost more.

A finished villa with its occupancy certificate carries no GST, but stamp duty and registration apply on the full value. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Plot area, built-up area and carpet area
• Total price and the rate it implies
• Corner or park-facing premium
• Car parking and any covered garage
• Clubhouse membership and maintenance deposit
• Stamp duty and registration

Concorde Royal Sunnyvale lists BBMP/BDA approval. The developer has not published a RERA number. Ask whether one exists and search the project name on the Karnataka RERA website, rera.karnataka.gov.in, before you pay a token amount.

For a ready villa, the papers to ask for are:

• The occupancy certificate for the villa
• The sanctioned building plan and the approved layout plan
• Land conversion order for residential use
• Title deed and link documents for the land
• An encumbrance certificate for at least 30 years
• The khata for the villa and the latest tax receipt
• A draft sale deed for review by your lawyer

Since the villa is complete, you will register a sale deed, not an agreement for sale. After registration, apply for the khata transfer so tax bills come in your name, and have the water and power connections moved to you as well.

Concorde Royal Sunnyvale spreads over 13.87 acres, with the villas arranged around a clubhouse and shared sports areas. The developer has not published the number of villas or the share of open space. Ask for the approved layout plan to see where your villa falls against the clubhouse, parks and gates. Any images shown are as planned by the developer.

Because the project is ready, you can see the facilities working. A morning might start with a swim or the gym, and the health club adds a place to unwind. Racquet players have a squash court and a badminton court, and table tennis and billiards or snooker fill the indoor games room.

For children there is a play area, a skating rink and, usefully for working parents, a creche inside the community. The amphitheatre hosts events and gatherings. Ask the residents' association what the monthly maintenance is, and walk the internal roads to see how well the common areas are kept.
