Buying a Resale Row House in Assetz Leaves & Lives, Kodathi (October 2026)
Anyone who wants a home in Assetz Leaves & Lives now has to deal with a private owner, since the developer sold out every house long ago. Assetz Property built this East Bangalore community in Kodathi village, and residents began arriving in September 2022. The notes below go through the plans, the starting price, what a resale really costs and the paperwork that needs a close look.
Start With the Papers
With a built house, ownership documents and approvals are the heart of the purchase. Find out from the seller, or from the association, under which RERA registration the houses were first sold, and look it up on the state portal. A lawyer should read the full chain of title as well.
Gather these items before negotiating:
- Occupancy certificate for the house
- Approved plan showing what was actually built, including any garden or terrace
- The seller's own registered purchase deed from Assetz Property
- The seller's khata, together with the last tax receipt
- A recent encumbrance certificate covering the land
- Association letters confirming no dues and no objection
Extensions are common in row houses, such as a covered verandah or an additional room. Compare the sanctioned plan with the house on a walk-through to spot anything that needs regularising. The final steps are registration of the deed and transfer of the khata.
The Layout and the Plans
Seventy-nine row houses, each on one floor, occupy 6 acres along internal streets. The floor plan suits older parents and young children, and the owner avoids the stairs of a freestanding villa. All sizes below are built-up areas.
- The 3 BHK measures around 2,617 sq ft
- One 4 BHK version is near 2,886 sq ft, and the other near 2,931 sq ft
Only 45 sq ft separates the two 4 BHK versions, so the room arrangement is the better test. For land and carpet areas, rely on the sanction drawings and the seller's deed.
Money: Then and Now
Prices opened at Rs. 2.3 Crore for the 3 BHK, which works out near Rs. 8,800 for each sq ft. That figure dates from the launch. Present asking prices come from owners, and the deeds registered lately within the layout are a better guide.
GST does not apply to a finished house with its occupancy certificate. Beyond the price, a buyer should budget for the following:
- Stamp duty in the 2%, 3% or 5% band for the value, plus surcharges
- Registration, charged at 2%
- Legal fees and the khata transfer
- Any fee the association charges for transfer or a no-objection letter
- Maintenance pending until the sale date
- Work on the house after purchase
Where the Community Lives Its Day
A clubhouse with a pool and a gym is the social centre. Gardens double as a front lawn shared by all, while small shops inside the layout handle daily needs. After several years of use, the state of these facilities reflects how well the owners' association works.
Residents also enjoy a spa and sauna, outdoor courts, table tennis, an indoor games room and a jogging track. For children there is a play area, and for celebrations a party area.
Who Is It For?
Families that want a door opening straight onto the ground, without the maintenance burden of a separate villa, are the natural audience. Large homes push the budget well beyond Rs. 2 Crore. Offices along Sarjapura Road and the Outer Ring Road are easy to reach from here.
The scale is small, so owners know one another, but each pays a larger part of shared costs. A compact apartment, or a view from a tower, is better found in another project.
Finding It
The survey numbers are 69/4 and 171/1, in Varthur Hobli of Bangalore East Taluk, close to Chikkakannalli (pin code 560035). Schools, hospitals and shops line Sarjapura Road and the surrounding layouts. The lane leading in deserves a trial at rush hour and after rain. For the wider corridor, read the Sarjapura Road locality page.
Builder Background
Assetz Property develops apartments, villas and plots in Bangalore, and has several communities near Sarjapura Road. This is among its low-rise ones. Upkeep by each owner counts as much as construction quality when a house is resold.
Visit Checklist
A resale offer rests on observation. Look at these points on the visit:
- Damp patches or cracks on the roof, walls and floors
- Running water, drainage and the backup power system
- Monthly maintenance, and how much the reserve fund holds
- The location of the car parks, and whether the deed mentions them
- How the asking price compares with sales registered lately in the layout
- A written plan for closing any home loan still running on the house
To see what else is available in the area, browse apartments for sale on Sarjapura Road. After that, prepare a cost sheet for the house that fits.
