Goyal Alanoville

Goyal Alanoville stands at Chikkagubbi Village, Nadagowdagollahalli, pincode 562149, a short turn off Hennur Main Road on the northern side of the city. The village has become a quiet residential pocket, where apartments, villas and plotted layouts have come up side by side. The developer has not published distances to offices, schools or hospitals, so none are quoted here.

Your immediate neighbours along Hennur Main Road are Anagalapura, Narayanapura and Kuvempu Layout. A short way across is Thanisandra, and Kannur, on the Thanisandra side, is also close. Those localities are where you will find much of your daily shopping, dining and services, so drive to each on your visit and see how long the trips take.

For work, you will be driving out through Hennur Road. Time the run to your office at your usual hour and again in the evening, because the roads in this part of the city can be busy at peak times. Parents should also test the school run. Finally, walk the approach road to the gate, since the lane you use every day matters as much as the main road beyond it.

Goyal Alanoville has only four-bedroom duplex villas spread over two floors, in one of two sizes, the smaller around 2,950 sq ft and the larger around 3,450 sq ft. The developer has sold out, so no price is published, and any figure you get will come from an owner. Compare it with recent registrations inside the community.

The specification was generous. Living, dining, the corridor, family room and staircase were finished in Italian marble, with vitrified tiles in the kitchen, utility and bedrooms. Kitchens had a 20 mm granite counter, and toilets carried Jaquar fittings, a grid false ceiling and tiles to 7 ft. Main doors used teak frames, and windows were UPVC or powder-coated aluminium. Each villa had 10 kW of full generator backup, and the site has a sewage treatment plant and rainwater harvesting.

A resale villa with an occupancy certificate carries no GST, but stamp duty and registration are payable on the full value. Before you agree a price, check:

• Plot area and built-up area of the exact villa
• Condition of the marble, woodwork, roof and waterproofing
• Any extensions the owner has added, and whether they are approved
• Association dues, transfer fee and the monthly maintenance

Goyal Alanoville lists BBMP/BDA as its approval, and no RERA registration number has been published. Search the project on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in) all the same, and confirm the approving authority on the sanctioned plan itself.

Since every villa here is a resale, you are checking the seller's title as much as the project's. Before paying any token amount, collect:

• The occupancy certificate for the villa
• The sanctioned layout and building plan, with the villa marked
• The seller's registered sale deed and the earlier deeds back to the developer
• An encumbrance certificate covering at least 15 years
• Khata in the seller's name and the latest property tax receipt
• A no-dues letter from the owners' association

If the seller has a home loan, get a letter from the bank stating the amount due and how the original documents will be released on closing. A property lawyer should read the whole file. At handover, register the sale deed at the sub-registrar's office, then transfer the khata, electricity and water accounts into your name.

Goyal Alanoville has seventy-five villas sharing 5 acres, which keeps the community small and the lanes quiet. The share of open land has not been published, so ask the association for the layout and walk it. Layout images are as planned by the developer; since everything is built, compare them with what you see.

A typical day might start with a swim or a session in the gymnasium at the clubhouse, then a few rounds of the jogging track. Younger children have a play area and an activity area within reach of home, and older ones can take over the outdoor courts after school. On a rainy afternoon, the clubhouse games room keeps everyone busy.

Evenings bring people out into the landscaped gardens, and the amphitheatre suits a community gathering or a festival show. The party area handles birthdays that outgrow a living room, and the retail spaces help with small errands without a drive. The community has been lived in since 2018, so ask the association about the condition of the pool, courts and gardens, what the maintenance charge covers, and whether any major repairs are planned.
