Prestige Autumn Leaves Plots

Prestige Autumn Leaves Plots lies at Hegganahalli, Kundana Hobli, close to Devanahalli, pincode 562110. This is the IVC Road side of north Bangalore, where the pull of the international airport has drawn steady residential building. From here, both the airport and the old town of Devanahalli are a drive away.

Heading into the city means travelling south, past Yelahanka and on towards Hebbal. The developer has not published distances or drive times to any of these, so treat them as directions, not numbers. Drive the route to your workplace on a weekday morning to see what the commute is really like.

A plot bought today will probably be home a few years from now, once the layout is handed over and your house is built. Think about how the area will serve you then. Ask which schools, hospitals and shops are within reach today, and visit the approach road after dark to judge lighting and safety. If you plan to rent the house out, speak to a local agent about who rents on this side of the city.

Prestige Autumn Leaves Plots offers five plot sizes, each given as land area. The entry plot is 30 x 45, or 1,350 sq ft, priced from Rs. 1.32 Crore. Next come a 40 x 60 of 2,400 sq ft at Rs. 2.36 Crore upward, and a 50 x 60 of 3,000 sq ft at Rs. 2.95 Crore upward. The larger pair are the 60 x 60 of 3,600 sq ft, starting at Rs. 3.53 Crore, and the 50 x 80 of 4,000 sq ft, starting at Rs. 3.93 Crore.

On these figures, every size costs close to Rs. 9,800 per sq ft. Corner, park-facing and east-facing plots are usually priced higher, so ask for the plot-wise list. Stamp duty and registration are payable when the sale deed is registered. Ask whether GST applies to any development or clubhouse charge. Your cost sheet should show:

• Base rate per sq ft and the exact plot area
• Premium for corner or preferred facing
• Development and infrastructure charges
• Clubhouse membership fee
• Maintenance deposit and first-year charges
• GST, if any, as a separate line
• Stamp duty and registration

Prestige Autumn Leaves Plots has no RERA registration number published for this layout yet. Ask Prestige Group for it and check it on the Karnataka RERA website, rera.karnataka.gov.in. A plotted layout must be registered before plots are sold, and the entry shows the approved plan and completion date.

Land papers carry more weight for a plot than for a flat, because the plot is all you are buying. Before you pay beyond the booking amount, ask for:

• The conversion order that changes the land from farm to residential use
• The layout plan approved by the planning authority
• The release order that frees your plot for sale
• Title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the full 27 acres
• The RERA certificate and a draft agreement for sale

Plots in a new layout are often released in stages, so check that yours is covered by a release order already issued. At handover, you register a sale deed and apply for a khata in your name. Keep the approved layout on file, since you will need it when you seek a sanction for your own house plan.

Prestige Autumn Leaves Plots divides 27 acres into 240 plots, reached through a grand entrance off a 30 m approach road. Inside, the roads are 12 m wide with a 7 m asphalt carriageway, and each plot gets a concrete access from the road. Any images you see are renders, as planned by the developer.

Once built, a morning could begin on the jogging and skating track or with a class on the yoga lawn. The clubhouse has a gymnasium, a swimming pool and an indoor games area. Several sports courts serve older children and weekend players, and younger ones have a play area.

Evenings suit a walk through the landscaped gardens and the tree-lined internal roads. The amphitheatre can host community events, while the party area takes birthdays and family gatherings. Behind the scenes, power runs underground to each plot, and a dual water system supplies fresh water for the home and treated water for flushing. Waste goes to a central STP. Ask which facilities will be ready at handover.
