TVS Emerald Green Enclave Smart Homes

TVS Emerald Green Enclave Smart Homes has the postal address 8, Mangadu Rd, Paraniputhur, Iyyappanthangal, Chennai 600056, listed under Porur on the western side of the city. Mangadu Road is the approach you will use most, both for the drive out and for local errands. The developer has not published distances to offices, stations, schools or hospitals, so none are quoted here.

Iyyappanthangal and Porur are established residential areas, so shops, clinics and schools are part of the surroundings rather than a promise. The easiest way to understand your week is to try it. Drive from the gate to your workplace on a weekday morning, and come back in the evening peak.

Do the school run once as well, and walk to the nearest bus stop if you plan to use buses. Local roads in this part of west Chennai can behave differently from one stretch to the next, so judge the route you would actually use. Check how easy it is to turn out of the gate onto Mangadu Road at rush hour, since that first turn can set the pace of every trip.

TVS Emerald Green Enclave Smart Homes lets you pick from three layouts, all quoted as built-up area. The entry home is a two-bedroom Premium of about 860 sq ft. Above it come two three-bedroom plans: a Premium of about 1,208 sq ft and a Grand of about 1,565 sq ft. Carpet areas have not been published, so ask for them.

Opening prices are Rs. 50.5 Lakhs, Rs. 69.6 Lakhs and Rs. 88.4 Lakhs in that order. Divided by size, that is about Rs. 5,900, Rs. 5,800 and Rs. 5,600 per sq ft. In a four-floor block, the gap between floors is small, so facing and ventilation matter more than height.

A completed flat with an occupancy certificate carries no GST. Stamp duty and registration apply to every purchase. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Base price and the area it is charged on
• Any premium for facing or corner units
• Car parking and the number of bays
• Clubhouse fee and maintenance deposit
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value

TVS Emerald Green Enclave Smart Homes has no RERA number published. Ask TVS Emerald for it and check it on the Tamil Nadu RERA (TNRERA) portal before you pay a token. The entry names the promoter and shows the approved plan and declared completion date for the blocks.

Because the blocks are finished, you are buying a ready home. Ask for:

• Occupancy certificate for your block
• Approved building plan showing your flat
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the land
• Latest property tax receipt and the khata or tax assessment
• A draft sale deed to read before registration

If you buy from an earlier owner instead of the developer, add that owner's registered sale deed and a no-dues letter from the residents' association. A seller with a home loan must get the bank to release the original papers first. At handover, register the sale deed in your name and move the property tax record across.

TVS Emerald Green Enclave Smart Homes has five blocks of four floors each sharing 9.4 acres, so most of the ground is left for the gardens, courts and paths between buildings. The developer has not published an open-space share, so ask for the site plan and walk it. Brochure images are renders as planned by the developer; the finished campus is what you are buying into.

A morning could begin on the jogging and skating track or in the yoga and activity area, with the gymnasium and swimming pool close by. The 13,000 sq ft clubhouse holds the indoor games room and an AV room that works as a small theatre. After school, children can use the kids' play area and the multiple sports courts.

Evenings suit a walk through the landscaped seasonal gardens. The amphitheatre hosts community events, and the multipurpose party areas take birthdays and family functions without anyone booking a hall outside. Because the homes are built, ask residents how the facilities are run and what the monthly maintenance charge covers.
