RWD Corniche

RWD Corniche stands in Egmore, pincode 600008, one of the older parts of central Chennai. Roads, shops, schools and civic services here are long established rather than promised. That is the main reason to buy in a central area over a newer suburb, and it usually shows in the price.

The address on file names only the locality, not a street. Ask the seller for the exact street and gate location, then plan your visit from there. The developer has not published distances to offices, schools, hospitals or stations either.

So build the picture yourself. Drive to your workplace during the morning rush and come back in the evening. If you have children, time the school run. Find the nearest clinic, pharmacy and grocery on foot, and note how narrow or busy the approach road is.

Some small shopping may be possible inside, since the plan includes retail spaces. Because families have lived here since 2021, ask them how the lane behaves in heavy rain, how steady water and power are, and whether visitors find parking. A walk outside after dark shows you the lighting and how the street feels at night.

RWD Corniche has sold out with the developer, so this section covers what was built and what a resale buyer should check. Three layouts exist, quoted as built-up area. The 2 BHK is about 1,096 sq ft and the 3 BHK about 1,340 sq ft. The 4 BHK is much larger at about 2,199 sq ft.

In a 14-floor block, the floor and the direction a flat faces shape its light, noise and view. Upper floors in a central area often look over rooftops, while lower floors hear more of the street. Compare the same layout on similar floors before you compare prices, and see the flat in daylight.

The price is agreed with the seller. A finished home carries no GST. Stamp duty and registration are charged on the registered value, and a broker's fee may apply. Before you pay, ask the seller to confirm in writing:

• The agreed price and the fittings that stay
• Block, floor and the car parking attached
• Maintenance paid to date, with a no-dues letter
• Any deposit held by the association that moves to you
• Stamp duty, registration and any broker's fee

RWD Corniche has no RERA number published by the developer. Search the Tamil Nadu RERA (TNRERA) portal under Ramky Wavoo Developers to see whether an entry exists. Ask the seller as well for any registration details from their purchase.

On a resale, a lawyer should confirm that the seller owns the flat cleanly and that the block was completed with approval. Ask the seller for:

• Their registered sale deed from the developer and the parent title documents
• The completion or occupancy certificate for the block
• The approved building plan showing the flat
• An encumbrance certificate covering the years since the seller bought
• The latest property tax receipt and the assessment in the seller's name
• A no-dues letter from the residents' association
• A loan closure letter if the flat was bought on a home loan

Match the seller's name and the flat number across every paper before any advance. At registration you sign a sale deed in your own name. After that, move the property tax account, the electricity connection and the association membership to yourself.

RWD Corniche has two blocks of 14 floors on 1.3 acres, with 127 households in all. That is a small community for a central address, so neighbours become familiar quickly. The developer has not published the share of open space, and on a site this size it will be modest, so ask for the approved site plan.

A morning here might start on the jogging track or in the gymnasium. Some residents will head instead to the yoga and prayer hall for a quieter start. Children have a play area, and the outdoor courts are there for games after school.

Indoors, the clubhouse carries a library with a reading room and a games room. The home theatre is the unusual one, a shared screen for film nights without leaving the building. For birthdays and small functions, residents can book the party area.

The landscaped gardens give you a short walk after dinner, and retail spaces help with small daily needs. Both blocks share every facility. Check how well each one has been kept, what the monthly maintenance charge is, and what it covers. Images of the grounds show the layout as planned by the developer.
