Sobha Avenue

Sobha Avenue stands on Chikkabunahalli Road in Bidare Agraha, pincode 560067, in the broader Whitefield belt on the eastern side of Bengaluru. This part of the city grew with its technology offices, and apartment communities followed. Most of your daily trips will begin on the local road before you join the main routes.

The developer has not published distances to offices, schools, hospitals or stations, so this page does not give travel times. The buildings are finished and lived in, which makes the location easy to test. Drive from the gate to your workplace at your usual hour, and try the return in the evening rush.

Ask the residents too. People who already live here can tell you how long the school run takes, where they shop for groceries, and whether the road floods in the rains. Visit once on a weekday and once at the weekend. Check which side of each block faces the road, since traffic noise will reach those flats first, and look at how easy it is to get an auto or a cab from the gate.

Sobha Avenue has three bedrooms in every home. The Standard grade came in about 1,536, 1,562, 1,574, 1,814, 1,835 and 1,858 sq ft. The Premium grade came in about 1,814, 1,835 and 1,890 sq ft. All figures are built-up area; carpet areas have not been published, so measure the flat or ask the seller for the sale deed figure.

The developer has sold all of these homes, so there is no current list price. What you pay depends on the owner, the floor, the facing and the condition of the flat. Ask the seller which grade the home is, and compare the price with recent sales in the same block.

A resale of a completed home carries no GST. Stamp duty and registration are payable on the sale value. Ask for a written statement that covers:

• Agreed price and the area in the seller's deed
• Car parking bays that come with the flat
• Maintenance dues cleared to the date of sale
• Association transfer charge, if any
• Stamp duty and registration
• Any loan the seller must close first

Sobha Avenue has no RERA registration number published. Ask the seller whether Sobha Limited registered it, and if a number exists, check it on the Karnataka RERA website, rera.karnataka.gov.in. On a resale of a finished home, the occupancy certificate and a clean title chain matter most.

Before you sign anything, ask the seller for copies of:

• The occupancy certificate for the block
• The approved building plan
• The seller's registered sale deed
• The khata in the seller's name and the latest tax receipt
• An encumbrance certificate for the flat
• A no-dues letter from the owners' association

If the seller still has a home loan, get a letter from the bank showing the amount owed and how the original deeds will be released on closure. Your lender's legal team will also check the title, which is a useful second opinion. At registration you sign a sale deed. After that, move the khata and the electricity account into your name.

Sobha Avenue has three blocks of 21 floors standing on 2.97 acres, shared by 175 households. The developer has not published the share of land left open, but you can walk the grounds and see how much space lies between the blocks. Old brochure images are renders, as planned by the developer, so trust what you see on site.

A morning could start on the jogging track or at the gym in the clubhouse. Basketball fans have a court, and there are other outdoor courts for different games. Children have a play area, and there is a games room with table tennis for rainy days.

Later in the day, the swimming pool and the landscaped gardens are where residents unwind, and the spa with its sauna is there for a quieter hour. The party area handles birthdays and small get-togethers. Because the facilities have been in use since 2018, ask the owners' association for the monthly maintenance rate and last year's accounts. Look at the condition of the lifts, the pool and the clubhouse yourself before you agree a price.
