Vaishnavi Noth 24

Vaishnavi Noth 24 is placed by the listing in Hebbal, on the north side of Bangalore, but no street address or pincode is given. Ask the seller for the exact address and visit before anything else. No distances have been published, so none are quoted here.

Hebbal has a lot going for a working household. Two large office campuses, Manyata Tech Park and the Kirloskar Business Park, lie nearby and house IT and ITES companies. The Hebbal flyover connects Bellary Road with the Outer Ring Road, so trips north towards the airport and south into the city both begin at the same junction. That also means the junction is busy at rush hour.

For weekends, Hebbal lake has a public park, boating and plenty of birdlife. Once you have the address, drive to your office at your normal hour and time the evening return. Walk the nearby streets for shops and bus stops, and ask residents about water supply and parking. Their experience of the area is the best guide you will get.

Vaishnavi Noth 24 lists two home types. A 2 BHK covers about 1,159 to 1,187 sq ft, at Rs. 73.01 to 74.78 Lakhs. A 3 BHK covers about 1,623 to 1,953 sq ft, at Rs. 1.02 to 1.23 Crore. Each works out to about Rs. 6,300 per sq ft. The area basis has not been stated, so ask whether it is built-up or carpet.

Since the project finished in 2020, confirm whether these prices still apply. On a completed flat there is no GST, but stamp duty and registration apply to the full value. On a resale, get a written breakdown of:

• Agreed price and what fittings it includes
• Carpet and built-up area of the flat
• Car parking bays and whether they are allotted
• Association transfer fee and maintenance deposit
• Any unpaid maintenance or utility dues
• Stamp duty and registration

Vaishnavi Noth 24 is listed with BBMP and BDA approval. No RERA number has been published; for a home handed over in 2020, the occupancy certificate and a clean title matter more. Have a lawyer read everything before you pay any advance.

Collect these before you commit:

• Occupancy certificate for the block
• Approved building plan showing the flat
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate
• Khata and the latest property tax receipt
• The seller's registered sale deed, if it is a resale
• No-dues letter from the residents' association
• Bank release letter, if the flat was mortgaged

Because the published address is incomplete, first confirm the exact site, then check that the survey number on the title matches the building you visited. At registration, sign the sale deed, then apply for the khata transfer and move the power and water accounts into your name.

Vaishnavi Noth 24 gives you the homes, a clubhouse and a garden on 2.72 acres. The number of blocks and floors is not stated. The site is finished, so walk it yourself rather than relying on renders as planned by the developer.

A typical morning might begin on the joggers' track or in the gymnasium, followed by a swim in the pool. In the evening, the badminton court and the table tennis table give residents a quick game close to home. Children have a play area and the garden to run around in.

The clubhouse is the social centre, and the community hall can host a birthday, a festival gathering or a residents' meeting. The list is short compared with larger projects, but it covers the facilities most families use week to week. Because everything is already built, look closely at how well the pool, gym and garden are maintained. Ask the residents' association what the monthly maintenance charge is and whether any large repair bills are coming.
