Assetz Leaves & Lives: A Second-Hand Row House Near Sarjapura Road (October 2026)
A row house offers a ground-level door and a private feel without a villa's maintenance, and Assetz Leaves & Lives is one of the better-known examples in Bangalore's east. The project is complete, with possession given from September 2022, and nothing is left with the developer. Here are the sizes, the first price, the complete cost of buying second-hand and the checks worth doing.
What Is the Project?
Assetz Property built 79 row houses here, each on one floor, across 6 acres in Kodathi village near Sarjapura Road. Houses face internal roads. Plans are a 3 BHK and two 4 BHK versions, with sizes given as built-up area.
The three layouts measure as follows:
- The 3 BHK comes to nearly 2,617 sq ft
- The first 4 BHK plan comes to nearly 2,886 sq ft
- The second 4 BHK plan comes to nearly 2,931 sq ft
With so little difference between the 4 BHK plans, the choice comes down to how rooms are placed. Exact plot and carpet areas appear in the deed and the approved plan.
What Does a House Cost Today?
Launch prices started at Rs. 2.3 Crore, equal to nearly Rs. 8,800 for every sq ft of the smallest house. Owners set prices now, and sale values registered recently in the layout are the best benchmark.
Reselling a finished house that has its occupancy certificate attracts no GST. A buyer still pays these costs:
- Karnataka stamp duty by value band, at 2%, 3% or 5%, along with surcharges
- A registration fee of 2%
- The cost of moving the khata, and a lawyer's fee
- Any charge the owners' association makes for permission to transfer
- Maintenance arrears till the sale closes
- Repairs or upgrades after moving in
Which Papers Matter?
In a built home, title and approvals outweigh everything. Ask the seller or association which RERA registration covered the first sales, and read the entry on the state portal. A lawyer then reads the title chain from start to end.
A tidy file contains these documents:
- The home's occupancy certificate
- A sanctioned plan matched to the house as it is, garden or terrace included
- The deed under which the seller bought from the developer
- The khata and the latest tax receipt
- A newly issued encumbrance certificate
- Association letters about dues and no objection
Row houses often grow after handover through covered verandahs or new rooms. Take the plan along on the visit to see what has changed from the sanction. The sale ends with a registered deed and a khata in the new owner's name.
Is It the Right Kind of Home?
A row house suits families that want independence, one floor for older relatives and more space than a flat gives. Budgets usually cross Rs. 2 Crore. Offices in the Sarjapura Road and Outer Ring Road belts are close.
The community is small, which makes neighbours familiar and the clubhouse quiet, although each owner pays a heavier share of running costs. Anyone wanting a flat of modest size will not find a fit here.
Facilities and Surroundings
The clubhouse has a pool and a gym. Beyond that, residents get a spa and sauna, sports courts, table tennis, a games room, a jogging track, a play area for children and a party area. Gardens act as a common lawn, and shops inside the layout cover daily needs. Their present state is the best sign of how the place is run.
The address falls in Varthur Hobli, Bangalore East Taluk, close to Chikkakannalli. Along the main road and in neighbouring layouts there are schools, hospitals and shops, and the Sarjapura Road locality page says more. Drive the approach lane during rush hour and in rain.
The Developer
Assetz Property has built apartment, villa and plot projects around the city. It has several communities in the Sarjapura Road area, and this is a low-rise one. In a resale, how an owner kept the house says as much as the original build.
Before Making an Offer
These checks make the offer safer:
- Examine the roof, the walls and the floors for damp or cracks
- Run the taps and check drainage and power backup
- Get the monthly maintenance and the reserve fund figure from the association
- See whether the car parks are named in the deed
- Compare the ask with recent registered sales
- Settle in writing how any home loan on the house will be cleared
Once a house is chosen, draw up a full cost sheet before negotiating. The sheet should add every cost above to the agreed price.
