Pride Enchanta

Pride Enchanta has its address at No. 320, Ranganathan Colony, Deepanjali Nagar, on Mysore Road across from BHEL, pincode 560026. BHEL is the landmark most visitors will use to find you. The developer has not published distances to stations, offices or schools, so none are quoted here.

A main-road address shapes the day in two ways. Catching a bus or an auto is usually easy, while turning out onto the road at rush hour can be slow. Time your commute from the gate at the hour you usually leave, and the return trip in the evening.

Listen for road noise from the flat you are offered, and compare a unit facing Mysore Road with one facing inward. With 430 households using the same entrances, check how the gate handles morning traffic. Ask how many parking bays come with the flat, and where visitors park. If you have children, time the school run as well, since that trip is made twice a day.

Pride Enchanta was built in two home types, all measured as built-up area. The two-bedroom flats are about 1,195, 1,240 and 1,345 sq ft. The three-bedroom flats run through seven plans of about 1,605, 1,620, 1,640, 1,678, 1,835, 1,870 and 1,910 sq ft. Carpet areas have not been published, so take them from the seller's sale deed.

Pride Group has sold out, so the price is agreed with an owner. A finished flat bought on resale carries no GST. Stamp duty and registration apply on the sale value, and your bank's valuation may come in below the asking price. Get these from the seller in writing before you offer:

• Carpet and built-up area from the sale deed
• Block, floor and facing, and whether it faces Mysore Road
• Parking bays conveyed with the flat
• Monthly maintenance and any arrears
• Association transfer fee and corpus fund
• Any loan on the flat and the lender's closure letter

Pride Enchanta does not show a published RERA number. A search on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in) costs nothing, but for a finished resale flat the building's papers carry more weight. Check that ownership passed cleanly from Pride Group to your seller, and ask for:

• Occupancy certificate for the block
• Sanctioned building plan
• The seller's registered sale deed and original agreement
• Khata in the seller's name and the latest tax receipt
• Encumbrance certificate for the seller's years of ownership
• No-dues letter from the association

A property lawyer should review the set before any advance, and your bank will ask for most of it too if you take a loan. After your sale deed is registered, apply to move the khata, power and water accounts into your name, and collect the association's rules and any fittings warranties from the seller.

Pride Enchanta has four blocks of 13 floors on 4.5 acres, which give a mid-sized community, with the shared spaces between the buildings. The open-space share has not been published, so walk the grounds and ask for the site plan. Treat images as renders as planned by the developer.

A morning could open with a run on the jogging track, the gym, or a swim before work. After school, children head for the play area and the activity area, and the outdoor courts and table tennis keep older ones busy. The games room covers rainy afternoons.

Evenings and weekends slow down in the landscaped gardens, and birthdays or neighbours' dinners go to the party area. The clubhouse is where residents meet, and the retail spaces on site can cover small errands. Ask the association for the current monthly charge on the flat you are viewing, and which facilities need booking.
