The decision you are actually making

Apartment buying is where the gap between what is advertised and what is delivered is widest. Two numbers close most of that gap: the carpet area, stated separately from super built-up, and the RERA registration number, shown where you can check it rather than in eight-point type at the bottom of a brochure.

What decides it

RERA registration number shown inline, not buried

Karnataka RERA requires the registration number and the K-RERA website to appear in project advertising precisely so a buyer can verify claims before visiting a site. We print it in the listing header where you will actually see it, alongside the declared completion date on the RERA filing — which is frequently a different date from the one in the sales pitch.

Presentation

What every residential listing shows.

Presented as a plan treatment rather than a generic property template — the fields below appear on every listing in this class, whether or not they flatter it.

Unit mix

Configuration split, unsold inventory by type, floor availability

Carpet vs super built-up

Both stated separately, with the loading percentage made explicit

Amenities

Delivered vs promised, with the maintenance cost per sq ft attached

Delivery position

Declared RERA completion date and actual construction stage

Diligence

What we check before we would let you buy it.

These sit on top of the six-stage protocol every parcel goes through. They are the checks specific to this asset class — the ones a general property review would not run.

  • K-RERA registration number verified on the K-RERA portal, not just quoted
  • Declared completion date on the RERA filing compared to the sales claim
  • Carpet area confirmed against the agreement, loading percentage computed
  • Approved plan, commencement certificate and OC status established
  • Land title underlying the project verified independently of the developer
  • Maintenance corpus, sinking fund and monthly outgo stated in writing
Questions we get

The ones worth asking early.

Asked before a site visit rather than after an agreement, these change what you pay.

What loading percentage is reasonable?

Typically 25–35% in Bengaluru. Above that, you are paying apartment rates for common area. The number matters less than whether it is disclosed before you sign.

Does a RERA number mean the project is safe?

It means the project is registered and the developer has made filings you can inspect. It is a starting point for diligence, not a substitute for it.
