Purva Oakshire Plots

Purva Oakshire Plots faces Bileshivale Main Road in the Rampura area of north Bengaluru, pincode 562149. The developer has not published distances to offices, schools, hospitals or stations, so none are quoted here. Before you agree a price, drive to the places you visit most and time each trip at the hour you would actually make it.

A plotted layout also changes how you use the place over time. For the first year or two you may be visiting mainly to meet your architect and contractor, so check how easily construction trucks can reach the gate and your plot. Once you live here, the school run and daily shopping will decide how the location feels, so find out where the nearest of each is.

Inside 38 acres, where your plot lies matters a great deal. A plot near the entrance saves time every day, while one deep inside may be quieter. Corner plots and those facing a park get more light and outlook, and usually cost more. Ask the seller for the plot number, then find it on the approved layout plan and walk to it from the gate.

Purva Oakshire Plots was sold as bare plots, so there are no floor plans; you design the house. Standard sizes were 30 x 40 ft (about 1,200 sq ft), 30 x 50 ft (about 1,500 sq ft), 30 x 60 ft (about 1,800 sq ft) and 40 x 60 ft (about 2,400 sq ft). The biggest is listed as 50 x 60 ft and about 2,800 sq ft, though those dimensions multiply to 3,000 sq ft, so measure the actual plot. A Garden Plots category also exists, with no size published.

The developer has sold out, so the price is set by negotiation with the owner. The land carries no GST, but the sale value attracts stamp duty and registration. Before you agree a figure, check:

• The plot number, its exact dimensions and the road width in front
• Facing and whether it is a corner or park-facing plot
• Maintenance paid to date and any arrears
• Association transfer fee or corpus charge
• Water and power connection status at the plot
• Recent registered sales of similar plots in the layout

Purva Oakshire Plots is registered under RERA as PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/150323/005796. Search that number on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in) and look at the approved layout, the land extent and any completion filings. Confirm that the plot you are buying is part of the registered layout.

On a resale plot, the seller replaces the developer, so the paperwork has to prove both the layout's legality and the owner's title. Ask for:

• The land conversion order for residential use
• The approved layout plan showing the plot number and dimensions
• The release order that freed this plot for sale
• The seller's registered sale deed and the developer's original deed
• An encumbrance certificate covering at least 13 years
• Khata in the seller's name and the latest tax receipt
• A no-dues letter from the association

Have a lawyer review the title chain before paying an advance, and let your lender run its own check if you take a plot loan. After registration, move the khata into your name; you will need it to get your building plan sanctioned.

Purva Oakshire Plots has 450 plots on 38 acres, each with its own owner-built house, joined by internal roads, parks and shared sports areas. Because the layout is complete, you can walk the roads and check the drainage and lighting yourself instead of trusting renders. Carry the approved layout plan and compare it with what has actually been built.

For active families the list is sport-heavy. There is a tennis court, a futsal court and a half basketball court, plus a skating rink for younger residents. An outdoor gym lets you exercise in the open air in the morning, and a kids' play area keeps small children busy close to home.

The quieter corners are a butterfly garden and an amphitheatre for community events and performances. With owners building at different times, expect construction around you for a few years, including noise and trucks on the internal roads. Ask the residents' association who maintains the parks and courts today, what the monthly charge is for a vacant plot, and whether it rises once you build and move in.
