Total Environment Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody

Total Environment Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody has its address at Sy. No. 2 on ITPL Main Road, Basavanna Nagar, Whitefield, pincode 560048. If your office is along ITPL Main Road, your daily commute could be short. The developer has not published distances to stations, schools, hospitals or the airport, so we quote none here.

Because the project is complete, the neighbourhood around it is no longer a promise. Shops, services and traffic patterns already exist, and you can judge them for yourself. Drive to your workplace at your usual hour, then make the return trip in the evening rush, before you settle on a block.

On a 34.5-acre campus, the walk from your door to the gate can vary a great deal. Ask where your block or villa stands in relation to the entrance, the clubhouse and the main road. A home close to the road is easier for cabs and deliveries but may be noisier. Also ask how many parking bays come with each home and where visitors park, since more than a thousand households share the approach roads.

Total Environment Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody quotes all published sizes as built-up areas, and carpet areas have not been released. Three-bedroom flats come as the C20 (about 2,753 sq ft), R22 (about 2,804 sq ft) and R25 (about 3,434 sq ft). The duplexes are the L30 (about 4,389 sq ft) and D35 (about 4,596 sq ft). The V40 is a 4 BHK villa of about 4,686 sq ft, and the 5 BHK penthouses measure about 5,385 and 8,023 sq ft.

Starting prices are Rs. 5.76 Crore for the C20, Rs. 5.84 Crore for the R22 and Rs. 7.17 Crore for the R25. The duplexes start at Rs. 9.3 and Rs. 10.5 Crore, the smaller penthouse at Rs. 11.6 Crore, the villa at Rs. 15.2 Crore and the larger penthouse at Rs. 17.5 Crore. Tower homes land near Rs. 20,800 to Rs. 22,800 per sq ft; the villa is near Rs. 32,400.

With the homes finished, GST should not apply once an occupancy certificate is in place. Stamp duty and registration are payable on every purchase. Ask for a cost sheet that lists:

• Base price and the area it is charged on
• Any floor-rise or facing premium
• Parking bays included
• Club membership and maintenance deposit
• Stamp duty and registration

Total Environment Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody has no RERA number published by the developer. Ask Total Environment for it, or for a written reason if the project was never registered. Look up any number you receive on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in).

You are buying a finished home, so the papers should show what exists rather than what is promised. Before you pay a token amount, ask for:

• The occupancy certificate for your block or villa
• The sanctioned building plan showing your unit
• Title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the land
• Khata and the latest property tax receipt
• A draft sale deed stating the area and parking

If you are buying from an owner rather than from the developer, add the owner's registered sale deed, a no-dues letter from the association and proof that maintenance is paid up. For the V40 villa, check how the deed describes the land under your home. At handover you sign the sale deed; then move the khata and the electricity account into your name.

Total Environment Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody holds seven blocks of up to 28 floors, the villa homes and the shared facilities across 34.5 acres. The developer has not published the share of the land left open, so ask for the approved site plan. Because the project is complete, you can walk the grounds rather than rely on renders.

A weekday here might open with laps in the swimming pool or a session in the gymnasium, followed by a run on the jogging track. After school, children have a play area and the outdoor courts, while the landscaped gardens give adults room for an evening walk. Retail spaces inside the campus take care of some errands without the car.

Weekends move to the clubhouse. The games room and the spa and sauna fill a slow afternoon, and the party area takes birthdays and family functions. With over a thousand households sharing these spaces, visit on a Saturday to see how busy the pool and courts get. Ask what the monthly maintenance charge is, what it covers and how the residents' association is run.
