Poulomi Florique

Poulomi Florique lies at Kannuru, off Thanisandra in north Bangalore, pincode 560064. The address on file is a map plus code (3JQW+66M) rather than a street name, so ask the developer for a location map with the plot boundary marked before you visit.

Thanisandra has filled up with apartment projects over the years, so expect a built-up neighbourhood with more towers going up around you. The developer has not published distances or travel times to any office, school, hospital, station or the airport, so we do not quote any here.

Because handover is years away, think about the commute you will have in 2030 as well as today. Drive from the site to your current workplace at your normal hour and time the return. Look at the approach road: its width, whether it floods after rain, and how it joins the main road. Find the school and hospital you would use and time those trips too. Ask neighbours already living in finished projects nearby what daily traffic is like. A weekend visit will show you what the area feels like when you are at home.

Poulomi Florique has twelve plans, all with three bedrooms or more, quoted as built-up area. The entry plan, three bedrooms and two toilets at about 1,585 sq ft, starts at Rs. 1.94 Crore, or about Rs. 12,200 per sq ft. Three-toilet plans follow at about 1,780, 1,830, 1,890, 1,905, 2,000 and 2,030 sq ft, from Rs. 2.18 Crore to Rs. 2.50 Crore.

Plans with a maid's room measure about 2,210, 2,380 and 2,535 sq ft, from Rs. 2.72, 2.93 and 3.12 Crore. The top plan adds a half bedroom at about 2,740 sq ft, from Rs. 3.37 Crore. Carpet areas are not published.

As an under-construction home, it carries GST on top of the price. Stamp duty and registration also apply. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Base rate and the area it is charged on
• Floor-rise and facing charges
• Car parking and the number of bays
• Clubhouse fee and maintenance deposit
• GST as its own line
• The payment schedule tied to construction stages
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value

Poulomi Florique has no RERA registration number published yet. A new launch must be registered before homes are sold, so ask Poulomi Estates for the number and look it up on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in). Do not pay a booking amount until you have seen the entry.

At this early stage, ask for:

• The RERA certificate and the declared completion date
• The sanctioned building plan for your tower
• Title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the land
• Land conversion order for residential use
• Environmental clearance, given the size of the project
• A draft agreement for sale with the payment schedule and penalty terms

The agreement for sale should state the carpet area, the handover date and what happens if either slips. Link every payment to a construction stage you can check, not to calendar dates. At handover, some time from 2030, ask for the occupancy certificate for your tower before you pay the final instalment. Then register the sale deed and apply for the khata in your name.

Poulomi Florique plans four 27-floor towers on the site, with 765 homes sharing a clubhouse of 52,900 sq ft. The land area and open-space share have not been published in a usable form, so ask for the sanctioned site plan. Everything you see today is as planned by the developer; nothing is built yet, so treat the renders as intent, not proof.

If it is built as described, a day could start on the jogging and cycling track, or in the gymnasium. The swimming pool has a lounge beside it, and the spa and health centre is there for recovery. Parents of young children will note the crèche next to the kids' play area, which can ease a working morning.

Evenings might mean a game on one of the sports courts, a session in the indoor games zone, or a film in the mini theatre. Landscaped gardens give you somewhere to walk, and the multipurpose party area takes birthdays. Retail spaces on site could cover small errands. With 765 households sharing these spaces, ask which facilities will open with the first tower, and what the maintenance charge is expected to be.
