Purva Summit

Purva Summit is on White Field Road in the Whitefields area of Kondapur, inside HITEC City, pincode 500081. For an office, that address is the main selling point: your staff, clients and tenants already know the district.

The developer has not published distances to metro stations, bus routes, hotels or other landmarks, so none are given here. Judge access the way your team would live it. Travel to the building at 9.30 on a weekday from where most of your people live, and time the evening return as well.

For a leased office, a tenant will ask the same things. How easy is it to reach the building by cab or public transport? Where can visitors park? Are there places to eat within a short walk? Walk the street around the site at lunchtime to answer these yourself.

The building has been in use since 2017, and the roads around it will have changed since the first brochure. Check the approach road, the drop-off point and the parking on site. Ask how many parking bays come with a unit of about 600 sq ft, and whether extra bays can be rented.

Purva Summit has no RERA registration number published by the developer for the building. Ask Puravankara for it and look it up on the TS-RERA portal. For a building finished in 2017, the completion papers carry more weight than the registration, so ask for those first.

For a completed office, ask for:

• The occupancy certificate for the building
• The approved building plan, checked against the unit you are buying
• Title documents and a current encumbrance certificate
• The latest property tax receipt for the unit
• A no-dues letter from the building management
• The lease deed, if a tenant is in place
• A draft sale deed stating the area and parking

If you are buying from an owner rather than the developer, also ask for the owner's registered sale deed and the earlier deeds back to Puravankara. A lawyer who handles commercial property should read the title and any lease before you sign.

After registration, move the property tax record, the electricity connection and the maintenance account into your name. If a tenant stays, give written notice of the change of owner so rent is paid to you.

Purva Summit has one office building of seven floors on a 3.78-acre site. Every floor shares the same entrance, lift core and services. The developer has not published an open-space share or a unit count, so ask for the approved site plan. Any images you see are renders as planned by the developer; since the building is finished, walk the real site instead.

A working day here starts at a landscaped ground level, with lighting along the boundary wall for late departures. Lifts carry ten people at a time, and security staff and CCTV cameras cover the building round the clock.

The glass and aluminium facade is meant to cut the heat that reaches the floors, which helps the air-conditioning bill. Full generator backup covers both your unit and the common areas, so a power cut should not stop work. Water comes from underground and overhead tanks, and recharge pits and wells around the building feed rainwater back into the ground.

Before you commit, ask how many lifts serve the building and how long the morning wait is. Ask too for the common-area maintenance rate per sq ft, what it covers, and how the backup power is billed.

Purva Summit has published one unit, an office of about 600 sq ft, priced from Rs. 63 Lakhs, or about Rs. 10,500 per sq ft. The developer has not said whether this is carpet or super built-up area, which matters a lot in offices, so ask for both figures. No other sizes are published.

A space of about 600 sq ft fits a small team or a single function. Walk the floor to check the daylight, the column grid and how easily it can be partitioned into cabins and open desks. Ask whether the unit comes as a bare shell or with fit-outs.

The building is complete, so no GST applies. Stamp duty and registration are payable at Telangana's rates, and 1% TDS must be deducted as the price is above Rs. 50 Lakhs. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Unit price and whether it is quoted on carpet or super built-up area
• Parking bays included and the charge for extra ones
• Maintenance deposit and the monthly rate per sq ft
• Any charge for backup power
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value
• TDS at 1%, deducted by you
