Provident Kenvista

Provident Kenvista lies in the Tyni Audyogic Wasahat area of Kondhwa, Pune 411048, along the link road to NIBM and close to Punyadham Ashram Road. Kondhwa and the NIBM Road belt form a settled residential part of southeast Pune, so you are not buying into an empty corridor waiting for shops and services.

The developer has not published distances or travel times to offices, schools, hospitals, stations or the airport, so we do not quote any. Because the project is still at pre-launch, you have time to do this homework properly.

Start with your daily commute. Drive from the site to your workplace at the hour you normally leave, and come back in the evening rush. The link road and the roads around NIBM can behave very differently at 9 in the morning compared with a quiet weekend.

Families should shortlist the schools and hospitals they would use and time each trip from the site. If you rely on buses or autos, check where the nearest stop is.

Finally, look at the approach to the plot itself, including the width of the road and how the future gate will connect to it, since several hundred families may eventually use it.

Provident Kenvista will have two- and three-bedroom homes. No carpet or built-up areas have been published for either, and no floor plans are public yet. The only price given is a start of Rs. 80.5 Lakhs, with no unit or size attached, so a per-sq-ft rate cannot be worked out. Treat pre-launch prices as provisional; they are often revised at the formal launch.

When you do get a quote, make sure it names the unit, floor, carpet area and facing. Compare it with finished projects nearby on the same carpet-area basis.

Because the homes will be built after you book, GST is charged on top of the price. Stamp duty and registration are payable in Maharashtra when your agreement is registered. Ask for a written cost sheet that shows:

• Base price and the carpet area it covers
• Floor-rise and facing premiums
• Car parking and number of slots
• Clubhouse and amenity charges
• GST as a separate line
• Stamp duty and registration
• The payment schedule, with the booking amount and construction-linked stages

Provident Kenvista has four MahaRERA registration numbers on file, P52100025342 to P52100025345 in sequence. They most likely cover separate phases. Search each on the MahaRERA portal, find the one that covers your unit, and read its approved plan, carpet areas and declared completion date.

At pre-launch, protect yourself with paperwork before paying anything. Ask for:

• The MahaRERA certificate for the phase you are buying in
• The sanctioned site layout and building drawings for that phase
• Title documents and a search report for the land, read by your lawyer
• The commencement certificate, once issued
• A written receipt that states whether any early payment is refundable
• The draft agreement for sale in the MahaRERA format, with the handover date

Under RERA, a developer cannot take more than 10% of the price before the agreement for sale is registered. At handover, collect the occupancy certificate, the possession letter and your society share certificate, and move the property tax account to your name.

Provident Kenvista is still laid out only as the developer plans it. The plot measures about 10 acres, and 70% of it is to be kept open, and Provident speaks of some 20 acres of greenery around the site. That is a high share of open ground for a gated block of flats, and if it holds, it should mean wide spaces between buildings and room for gardens.

The developer promises more than 25 amenities but has not published what they are. Until that list is shared, you cannot tell whether the project will have a pool, a clubhouse, sports courts or play areas for children. Ask for the itemised list, and for which facilities come with the first phase and which follow later.

Tower count, heights and the number of homes have also not been published. Those numbers decide how many families share the open space and the amenities, so ask for them early.

At pre-launch, the most useful document is the approved layout plan. Ask to see where your phase is placed within it, where the open areas and amenity blocks go, and what the expected monthly maintenance charge will be.
