Brochure vs Reality
What the sales pitch says — and what the data says.
- “Metro connectivity”Nearest running station: Vajarahalli (Green) — 2.95 km, an auto ride.? Verify
- “Best price / launch offer”About 14% below our fair estimate — a genuinely good price.✓ Holds up
- “Possession soon”No committed date is public — check the RERA registration for the promised date.? Verify
- “Great investment, high appreciation”Likely ~14.3% a year (strong appreciation) vs ~7% from a bank FD. ₹1 Cr could become ~₹1.95 Cr in 5 years.✓ Holds up
- “24×7 water, premium living”In Kanakapura Road, mixed Cauvery + borewell supply is common; flood risk is low. Ask residents of nearby buildings about summer water.? Verify
- “Trusted developer”Builder trust 93/100 from delivery, RERA and dispute records.✓ Holds up
- “All approvals in place”Ask for the RERA number, title deed + 30-year EC, sanctioned plan and (if ready) OC — and verify each yourself.? Verify
