SNN Raj High Gardens

SNN Raj High Gardens has its address at Raghava Nagar, pincode 562107, off Hosur Road on the south-eastern edge of Bengaluru. Hosur Road is the main artery on this side of the city, carrying traffic between the inner neighbourhoods and the industrial belts further out. Most of your trips, whether to work, school or the shops, will start by joining that road.

The developer has not published distances to offices, stations, schools or hospitals. We therefore do not quote any travel times here. The practical test is to make your real commute yourself before you book. Leave from the site at the hour you would normally set out, drive to your office, and do the return trip in the evening rush as well.

A few questions are worth settling on that visit. How is the approach road from Hosur Road to the gate, and is it wide enough for the traffic of a large community? Where is the nearest bus stop, grocery store and clinic you would actually use? With 1,050 homes planned, the entry and exit points will be busy at school and office hours, so ask where they are placed. A weekday morning and a weekend visit will give you two very different pictures of the neighbourhood.

SNN Raj High Gardens has eleven plans on offer, all measured as built-up area. The two-bedroom range starts at about 880 sq ft for Rs. 81.5 Lakhs and goes through 965, 975, 985 and 1,000 sq ft to about 1,120 sq ft at Rs. 1.08 Crore. The 2.5 BHK is about 1,090 sq ft from Rs. 1.05 Crore. Three-bedroom homes measure about 1,480, 1,500, 1,655 and 1,685 sq ft, priced from Rs. 1.41 Crore to Rs. 1.60 Crore.

On built-up area, the rate is about Rs. 9,250 per sq ft for the smallest home and about Rs. 9,500 for the largest. Carpet areas have not been published, so ask for them. The price list has one oddity: the 965 sq ft plan is quoted above the 975 sq ft plan. Ask the sales team to confirm both figures.

This is an under-construction purchase, so GST applies to the price. Stamp duty and registration are payable on top as well. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• The base rate and the area it is charged on
• Floor-rise and facing charges
• Car parking and the number of bays
• Clubhouse fee and maintenance deposit
• GST as its own line
• Stamp duty and registration
• The payment schedule linked to construction stages

SNN Raj High Gardens has no RERA registration number published by SNN Raj Corp. Ask for it before anything else. Then look it up on the Karnataka RERA website, rera.karnataka.gov.in, and read the entry for the promoter's name, the approved plan, the number of homes and the declared completion date. That date should agree with the April 2028 handover you are being promised.

At this stage, while the towers are still going up, ask to see:

• The RERA registration certificate
• The sanctioned building plan showing your tower and unit
• Title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the land
• The khata and the latest property tax receipt
• The draft agreement for sale, with the handover date and penalty for delay
• The construction-linked payment schedule

If you take a home loan, the lender's approval of the project is a useful second check on the title. At handover, collect the occupancy certificate for your tower, register the sale deed, and have the khata transferred into your name.

SNN Raj High Gardens is laid out on 9 acres as towers of 14 floors, with the shared facilities spread between them. The developer has not published the share of land kept open or the number of towers, so ask for the sanctioned site plan. Check where your tower stands in relation to the gate, the clubhouse and the next building. Any images you see are renders, as planned by the developer, until the spaces are built.

A weekday could begin with a run on the jogging and skating track or a class in the yoga, aerobics and meditation room. The gym is inside the clubhouse for anyone who prefers weights. After school, children have a play area and several sports courts, and the indoor games room covers a wet afternoon.

The pool is on the roof, which gives an evening swim a view over the neighbourhood. Weekends can mean a session in the spa and sauna, a walk through the landscaped gardens, or a show in the amphitheatre. Birthdays and family gatherings go to the party area. Because the project is still being built, ask which of these facilities will be ready when your tower is handed over, and which will come later.
