Prestige North Point

Prestige North Point has its address at Ullasappa Road, St Thomas Town, Inasappa Layout, Kammanahalli, Bengaluru 560043. This is long-settled city in the north-east, not a new growth corridor. The roads, markets, schools and clinics around you already exist, so what you see on a visit is close to what you will live with.

In an older neighbourhood like this, many errands can be done on foot or in a short auto ride, rather than needing the car. The developer has not published distances to offices, stations, schools or hospitals, so we do not quote any here. Drive from the gate to your workplace on a weekday morning at your normal hour, and repeat the trip in the evening peak.

Two tall towers on a small plot put a lot of cars onto neighbourhood lanes. Stand at the gate at 9 am and see how quickly traffic clears onto Ullasappa Road. Ask how many parking bays come with the flat, and whether they are in the basement. Also check where visitors can park, since street parking in older layouts is usually tight.

Prestige North Point was built with only one plan: a two-bedroom flat of about 1,303 sq ft, quoted as built-up area. Carpet area has not been published, so ask for it. With every flat on the same plan, the real differences are tower, floor and facing. Two flats priced alike can be very different homes once you stand in them.

The developer has sold every flat, so no fresh price list applies. Each seller sets a figure, and you negotiate from there. Line up several flats for sale, note the floor and outlook of each, and compare their asking prices side by side before you make an offer.

A finished flat with an occupancy certificate carries no GST on resale. Stamp duty and registration are due on the sale value. Before you agree, ask the seller for:

• The tower, floor and facing of the flat
• Parking bays allotted, and whether they are covered
• Maintenance paid to date and any arrears
• The residents' association transfer fee
• Any home loan still owed on the flat

Prestige North Point does not yet show a published RERA registration number. Ask the seller or the developer whether one was issued and search the Karnataka RERA website, rera.karnataka.gov.in. For a building finished in 2021, the documents below tell you more.

Ask the seller for:

• The occupancy certificate for the tower
• The sanctioned building plan, which also settles the floor count
• The seller's registered sale deed, and earlier deeds if the flat was resold
• Khata in the seller's name and the latest property tax receipt
• An encumbrance certificate for the flat
• A no-dues letter from the residents' association

A flat handed over in 2021 may already have changed owners, so trace the chain back to the developer. If the seller still owes on a home loan, their bank must return the original documents and issue a closure letter before you register.

On the day of sale, the sale deed is registered in your name. Then apply for the khata transfer, and move the electricity and water accounts.

Prestige North Point is compact: a pair of towers sharing 1.43 acres, with 184 homes and a set of shared facilities between them. Ask to see the sanctioned site plan. It shows how close the towers stand and which flats look out over the gardens or the street rather than into the other tower.

A day here could start with laps of the jogging track or a session in the gymnasium, then a swim before work. The outdoor courts suit a quick game in the evening, and there is a games room for rainy days. Children have a play area beside the landscaped gardens, where parents can keep watch.

The clubhouse is the social centre, with a party area for birthdays and family events and an amphitheatre for gatherings. A health centre is listed among the facilities, and retail spaces on site should help with small daily purchases. As residents have lived here since 2021, these should all be running. Walk through each one, judge how it is kept, and ask the residents' association for the monthly maintenance charge and what it covers.
