Salarpuria Sattva Park Cubix

Salarpuria Sattva Park Cubix stands in Devanahalli town, the old market town north of Bengaluru that has expanded fast since the international airport opened nearby. A full street address and pincode have not been published, so ask for the exact location and drop a pin before your visit.

The shape of your week depends on where you work. If your job is at or around the airport, or in the offices and warehouses that have come up around it, the daily trip is short. If you drive into the city, you head south past Yelahanka, and the length of that drive is the question to test. No distances or travel times have been published, so we do not quote any.

Day-to-day needs are covered locally: the town has schools, colleges, clinics, banks and supermarkets. The surroundings are still green, and new homes and businesses are coming up steadily. Before you buy, drive to your office at your usual hour and back again in the evening. Visit the nearest school and hospital you would use. See how far the gate is from a bus stop if not everyone in the family drives.

Salarpuria Sattva Park Cubix has four layouts, quoted as built-up area. Single-bedroom homes measure about 657 sq ft, and two-bedroom homes about 994 sq ft. The 2.5 BHK, a two-bedroom plan with an extra small room, is about 1,279 sq ft. Three bedrooms take you to about 1,484 sq ft, the biggest plan. Carpet areas have not been published.

Prices start at Rs. 28 Lakhs, and a rate of Rs. 4,300 per sq ft is quoted. On the smallest home, the entry figure works out to about Rs. 4,300 per sq ft as well, so the two agree. Prices for the other layouts are given on request, and a rate this low for a finished project deserves a fresh quote.

No GST applies to a finished home with an occupancy certificate. Stamp duty and registration are payable on the sale value. Ask for a cost sheet that covers:

• Price and the area it is charged on
• Car parking, and whether it is covered
• Clubhouse or amenity charges
• Maintenance deposit or arrears
• Stamp duty and registration as separate lines

Salarpuria Sattva Park Cubix is described as having BBMP/BDA approval. No RERA registration number has been published. Ask the seller which authority sanctioned the building plan, and ask for any RERA registration. Search the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in) yourself. Get your lawyer to confirm the approval matches the land's location.

For a ready home, ask to see:

• Occupancy certificate for your building
• Sanctioned building plan with the flat marked
• Title documents and land conversion order for the site
• Encumbrance certificate for the land and the flat
• Khata or the local property record, with the latest tax receipt
• For a resale, the seller's sale deed and a loan closure letter
• No-dues letter from the residents' association

As the building is finished, the purchase goes straight to a registered sale deed. After registration, transfer the property record and the electricity account into your name. Keep every receipt, because a future buyer's bank will want the full chain.

Salarpuria Sattva Park Cubix covers 18.18 acres, a lot of land for an apartment project. The number of buildings, floors and homes has not been published, so ask for the site plan. It shows how much of the ground is garden and how many neighbours you share it with. The project is finished, so you can walk it instead of relying on images.

A morning here could be a ride along the cycling trail, a run on the jogging track or a session in the gymnasium or the outdoor gym. Players can choose between basketball, badminton, squash and tennis courts. Children have play areas, and the interactive water jets by the pool deck are a favourite on hot afternoons.

Evenings suit a swim, the outdoor jacuzzi or a walk through the gardens. Festivals and family functions have two homes: the festive lawns outdoors and the community hall indoors. With so much open space to maintain, ask the association for the monthly charge per sq ft and what it covers. Check the condition of the courts and the pool deck, since outdoor facilities wear faster than indoor ones.
