Be aware of road widening and document faking , check the documents with a lawyer who is familiar to you.

walk round the plot and collect information from localites.

Bangalore folks,

What about the project VBHC - Live Happily ever after!? Is it worth investing in a 2bhk flat in this project? What kind of rent can one expect and what about the kind of people living in this area? How long does it take to reach this place, say from Bangalore City station.

Thanks,
Biju

Just searched this thread as one of my friend is planning to buy a property. Now this is a small builder with total of 50 odd flats.

1. At the time of booking, what documents are required for property verification ? Anything missing from below? (got the below from this thread)

• building sanction letter,
• khata certificate for the apartment,
• land ownership history,
• Power of Attorneys or MOE (if there are multiple land owners,
• tax receipts paid,
• BBMP sanction plan

2. Builder claims its BBMP approved - how do you check ?

3. Lift license - sometimes builders say they have a license actually they dont. What document to check here ?

4. Builder claims the wasteland in front of the property will be covered when roads will be broadened, which will happen soon. How to check this ?

5. We have heard stories of small-time builders asking permission to build 4 floors but instead build 5. What happens now if someone is at that 5th floor?
What docs to check here ??

The flats on the 5th floor become illegal. Ask for the sanctioned building plan from the builder. You would need to get this verified from the authorities using a lawyer, i believe.

I have seen few apartment with illegal 5th floor. In most of these owner/builder occupy the same as he cannot sell the same.

Hi All,

I will be moving to Banglore in about 45 days. Currently staying in Mumbai.
Now, in Banglore, I will be working in Electronic city Hosur road.
Can anybody suggest, whether renting a flat in and around electronic city area will be good and safe for a family of 3 or should I rent a flat in the heart of the city.
Is the residential areas near electronic city good in aminities? Such as schools, hospitals, shops, restaurants, daily household grociary shops etc?
Or please suggest otherwise.

Hi Quadra,
For 1) You need get a property lawyer and get every sheet of paper verified ( he will do it on your behalf)
for 2) You need to check this with BBMP dept. Usually the building plans will be notified in the records and stamped on building blue prints. Check the same with the BBMP office
For 3) You have to check the lift AMC since it is mandatory for a builder when the building is new(I think for first 2 years) or else get the purchase documents or manual or goto the lift seller and ask for the documents.
For 4) As per 2015 BBMP plan all the road will be extended or broadened. How soon is a big question since if there is any village/slum near the road then it will not happen soon due to political issues/litigations etc.
For 5) When constructing the building the builder would have given some amount and this issue will be closed. When the hand over happens to the building association then if the officials open this case then either the association or the owner has to pay a huge amount as penalty. So better see the approved plan and check the same with BBMP office before buying the pent houses.

Best solution is to get a competent lawyer who will do all these things for you and will give you a "legal opinion" and the next best thing is to take a home loan where you property will be verified by the bank people also.

There are some decent flats available in and around Electronics city. Rent varies from 6-10K for a 2 BHK. But I do not see many people stay in that area, most of the people travel everyday from city to Ecity. There are some good hospitals and restaurants in and around Ecity. But for weekly groceries you need to come to city, there are some small stores though. No idea about schools...


If you are looking accomodation within city limit. You need to look for a flat in BTM layout, Koramangala or HSR layout. These are some places you can reach office without facing much of traffic(read minimum). Decent 2 BHK rent starts from 10K to XXK......(I dont know).

Staying in and around Ecity or inside the city depends on your/family's lifestyle, rent, size of house required and other facilities required. After opening Elevated tollway travel time from Ecity to city is reduced.

Let us know some more details about your requirements!

@dev_kudle : You could also look at accomodation near Sarjapur Road (Kasavanahalli road or Hosa road) or Haralur Road. Both of these roads act as link roads to Electronics City, and are also within city limits. However, either company or self transport is a must.

If this a farm land? Check the description in documents - if it is described as "nilom", it is farm land, and getting building permission would be difficult.

IMO the asking price is too high. I am not too aware of the current prices in Tvm now, but still..

Masinagudi and surrounding areas are falling within the elephant corridor.

Watch when you buy around that area.

Lots of land for sale around Ooty. Where have you seen the land that you intend to buy?
