Kolte Patil itower Exente

Kolte Patil itower Exente sits in Electronic City, the large electronics and IT park on Bengaluru's southern edge, which covers about 332 acres. If your office is inside the park, your commute can be short and predictable. That is the main reason people choose this part of the city, and it keeps rental demand steady too.

Getting into the city is easier than it once was. An elevated four-lane expressway of about 10 km carries you from Electronic City to Silk Board Junction above the Hosur Road traffic. From Silk Board you connect to the rest of south and central Bengaluru. Day-to-day needs are covered locally, with schools, colleges, hospitals, banks, supermarkets and restaurants in the neighbourhood.

The exact street address and landmarks for this project are not published, so ask the developer where the gate is and which road it opens onto. Then drive your real commute at peak time, in both directions. Also note that the expressway charges a toll, which adds a monthly cost if you use it daily.

Kolte Patil itower Exente was built in five layouts, with sizes given as ranges. You can choose a 1 BHK of about 710 to 720 sq ft or a 2 BHK of about 1,241 to 1,250 sq ft. Next up is a 2.5 BHK of about 1,385 to 1,393 sq ft, then a 3 BHK of about 1,691 to 1,700 sq ft. The largest is a 4 BHK of about 2,093 sq ft. These figures read as built-up area, so ask for the carpet area of your unit.

Every layout is priced on request, so no per-sq-ft rate can be worked out from published figures. As the homes are complete, no GST applies to a unit with an occupancy certificate. Stamp duty and registration are payable on the full sale value. Ask for a cost sheet that lists:

• Base price and the area it is charged on
• Floor and facing premiums, if any
• Car parking and how many bays come with the flat
• Clubhouse fee and maintenance deposit
• Stamp duty and registration on the total value

If you are buying from an owner instead, compare the price with recent registered sales of the same layout.

Kolte Patil itower Exente has no published RERA number. Ask for it and check the entry on the Karnataka RERA website, rera.karnataka.gov.in. The approval is listed as BBMP/BDA, which the sanctioned plan should confirm. Because construction is complete, your checks centre on the occupancy certificate and a clean title.

Whether you buy from the developer or an owner, ask for:

• The occupancy certificate for the building your unit is in
• The sanctioned plan showing your unit
• Title documents for the 4.4-acre land and the chain of ownership
• An encumbrance certificate covering recent years
• Khata and the latest property tax receipt
• A draft sale deed to review before registration

On a resale, also ask for the seller's registered sale deed and a no-dues letter from the residents' association. If the seller has a home loan, get the bank's closure letter before you register. At handover, take the registered sale deed and apply to transfer the khata to your name. A property lawyer should read the full set before you pay.

Kolte Patil itower Exente is laid out on 4.4 acres, with the homes, a clubhouse, a pool and sports courts sharing the land. The developer has not published the number of towers or homes, or how much of the site is open, so ask for the sanctioned layout and walk it. Any images you are shown are as planned by the developer; in a finished project, what you see on the ground is what you get.

A morning could begin on the jogging track or in the gym, with a swim to follow. If you prefer something slower, the meditation hall gives you a quiet room before the working day. Children have a play area of their own close to home.

Evenings suit the sports-minded, with courts for tennis, badminton and basketball. Birthdays and residents' meetings go to the community hall, and the clubhouse ties the facilities together. On your visit, ask the residents' association which facilities are in daily use, how court bookings work and what the monthly maintenance charge covers. Also check the state of the pool and courts after a few years of use, since that tells you how well the community is run.
