Your dream property search begins here

A buyer-side review of Sattva Doddaballapura Plots, a RERA registered gated layout in North Bangalore from about Rs 66 Lakh.

When a Bengaluru builder misses the possession date, RERA entitles the buyer to interest at the State Bank of India's highest MCLR plus 2 percent, a rate that runs from the due date and applies symmetrically to buyers and developers alike. PropNewz explains how the remedy works, how it beats a builder's token penalty clause, and the recovery gap buyers must plan around.

The bank approved logos on a project brochure carry an APF number, short for approved project financials, meaning a lender has pre vetted the project so home loans process faster. PropNewz explains what an APF number genuinely signals for Bengaluru buyers, why it is not a title guarantee, and why one bank's approval does not bind another.

A clean encumbrance certificate is not the whole story: an equitable mortgage created by depositing title deeds can sit on a property without showing up there. CERSAI, a national registry searchable by any buyer for about Rs 10, closes that gap. PropNewz explains what CERSAI is, how Bengaluru buyers search it, and why it belongs in every purchase.

A Bangalore Development Authority site comes with a catch many buyers miss: it is allotted on a lease-cum-sale basis, leaving the first allottee a lessee for ten years, bound to build within five, before an absolute sale deed confers real ownership. PropNewz explains the rules and the title stage every BDA site buyer must verify before paying.

That separate charge for a car parking space may not be one a builder is legally allowed to make. Under RERA and Supreme Court rulings, open and stilt parking are common areas that cannot be sold separately, while only an enclosed garage shown in the plan can be. PropNewz explains what Bengaluru buyers can resist, what is genuinely saleable, and how to get parking recorded correctly.
