Purva 270

Purva 270 stands on Kaggadasapura Main Road, Nagavarapalya, CV Raman Nagar, pincode 560093. That puts you in east Bangalore, with Indiranagar, Kaggadasapura and Baiyappanahalli as the neighbouring localities. It is settled city, so markets, clinics and bus routes are already around you.

For work, Bagmane Tech Park lies within CV Raman Nagar, and the CAIR research centre is based in the locality too. If you travel by train, the stations at Krishnarajapuram and Baiyappanahalli are the closest. You will find shopping malls close by, as well as colleges including the CMR Group of Institutions. The developer has not published distances, so we give none.

In an older neighbourhood the approach roads can be busier than in the newer corridors. Drive from the gate to your office at your usual hour, and try the return trip too. Ask residents how school buses and cabs manage the entrance at peak times, and check how much parking comes with the flat you are buying.

Purva 270 was built in three plans, all quoted as built-up area. The two-bedroom flat comes in roughly 1,392 sq ft or roughly 1,659 sq ft; the three-bedroom one is roughly 1,980 sq ft. Carpet areas have not been published, so ask the seller for the sale deed, which should state them.

The developer has no stock left, so there is no price list to quote. What you pay is agreed with the owner, and it should reflect the floor, the facing, the parking and the state of the interiors. A resale of a completed flat carries no GST; stamp duty and registration are paid on the agreed value or the guidance value, whichever is higher. When you make an offer, ask for:

• Built-up and carpet area as stated in the seller's deed
• Number of covered parking bays allotted to the flat
• Maintenance paid up to the month of sale
• Any transfer fee charged by the association
• Details of any loan on the flat and the bank's closure letter

Purva 270 has an approval on file from BBMP/BDA, and no RERA number has been published. Handovers began in August 2017, so ask the seller or the association whether a registration exists and, if so, check it on rera.karnataka.gov.in. For a finished flat, the building's own papers come first.

Ask the seller for:

• The occupancy certificate for the block
• The approved building plan
• The seller's registered sale deed and the chain of earlier deeds
• An encumbrance certificate covering the years since the seller bought
• Khata in the seller's name and the latest property tax receipt
• A no-dues letter from the owners' association

At registration you sign a sale deed in your name at the sub-registrar's office. Then apply to move the khata to your name and pay the next property tax. If a bank loan is involved, the lender will check most of this list too, which gives you a useful second opinion.

Purva 270 has eight blocks, the tallest at 15 floors, sharing a 10.35-acre site. The developer has not published the share of open space, so request the sanctioned plan and see which way your block faces and how close it is to the courts and the pool. Any images you see are renders as planned by the developer; here you can compare them with the finished site.

A resident's week has plenty to fill it. Mornings can mean the jogging track, the gymnasium or a swim, and evenings the tennis, badminton or basketball courts. Children have their own play area, and wet weather is covered by table tennis, a games room and other indoor games.

Birthdays and association meetings go to the community hall or the party area, and the clubhouse and gardens round out the shared spaces. Retail spaces within the complex handle small daily needs. With 660 families sharing these facilities, visit on a weekend evening to see how busy the pool and courts get. Ask the association about the maintenance charge and any repairs coming up.
