Buying a Plot at Morefields by Manyata, Neriga near Sarjapur Road (October 2026)

Buying a plot in a layout that is already built removes most of the guesswork, and Morefields by Manyata in Neriga, East Bangalore, is one such option close to Sarjapur Road. Its 247 residential plots got their RERA registration in 2018, and the portal lists the project as completed. Plots now come up mostly through resale, and this guide sets out the facts, costs and checks.
Neriga and Its Connections
The site takes in survey numbers 178/2A and 178/2A2 along with 167, 176/1, 177, 179 and 181 in Neriga Village, Bengaluru Urban, under the Sarjapura Hobli of Anekal Taluk. Dommasandra is a brief drive away to the south-west, and the village is placed with Sarjapur Road to one side and Varthur's Gunjur area to the other. Sarjapur Road runs west to join the Outer Ring Road near Bellandur, while northward the road via Gunjur leads to Varthur, then Whitefield.
Daily shopping, hospitals and schools cluster on Sarjapur Road and near Dommasandra. A Namma Metro Red Line linking Sarjapur and Hebbal is planned on Sarjapur Road. Karnataka's Cabinet gave its approval in December 2024 and the Centre's nod is pending, so trains are some years off. The Sarjapur Road locality page covers the wider corridor.
The Layout Today
Manyata Developers built Morefields as a gated layout, with owners constructing their own homes plot by plot. Total land is 89,687 sq m, about 22 acres, with 43,710 sq m in plots and 51% left for roads, parks and common use. Work started in August 2018, with 31 August 2020 registered as the completion date, and the RERA portal now marks it complete.
The plots average roughly 1,900 sq ft (43,710 sq m spread over 247), with sizes above and below that figure. The approved layout plan fixes every plot's dimensions, which a resale deed must reproduce exactly. Infrastructure built by the promoter comprises:
- Roads inside the layout
- Lines for drinking water and general supply
- Drains for sewage and for storm water
- Arrangements for solid waste
- Green spaces and parks
Electricity reaches the layout via the local utility's own transformer and lines, and the layout holds a pollution control board consent from the state. Because the works are finished, a visit shows the actual roads, drains and parks. Their current condition and upkeep are best discussed with the owners' association.
Suitability
Morefields works well for people who want to build a standalone home close to the Sarjapur Road employment corridor without waiting on a new layout. Infrastructure is already in place, which cuts out delivery risk, and anyone with house plans ready can start building soon. Construction is a further expense on top of the land, so a family needing to move in right away may prefer a built house here or an apartment along Sarjapur Road.
Pricing and Extra Costs
Each owner fixes the resale price, and it shifts with the plot's size, its frontage road and closeness to a corner or park. Where a house is already built, the price reflects both the land and the structure. Recently registered sale deeds within Morefields offer the best guide to going rates.
Extra costs over the agreed price include:
- Where the plot is priced above Rs. 45 Lakhs, stamp duty at 5% (5.6% overall with cess and surcharge) plus 2% registration
- Any pending property tax, and the khata transfer
- Association dues and the fee for transferring membership
- Legal charges and the cost of construction
To illustrate, a plot bought for Rs. 1 Crore needs Rs. 7.6 Lakhs for stamp duty plus registration. Our EMI calculator shows the likely monthly loan payment.
RERA Registration
The layout carries RERA number PRM/KA/RERA/1251/308/PR/181022/002103, dated 22 October 2018, with Manyata Developers Private Limited named as promoter. The layout plan has the approval of the local planning authority. A name search on the state RERA website brings up the registration, its completed status and the filed papers.
When buying resale, the current owner's title weighs as much as the layout approvals. Each step in the ownership chain, from the promoter's original deed onwards, must be registered.
Buyer's Checklist
Have a lawyer go through the documents, and visit the plot carrying the layout plan. Key points:
- Review the full chain of deeds, from the first sale by the promoter to the current seller
- Obtain an encumbrance certificate running from the first sale to date
- Confirm the khata is held by the seller and that property tax is paid up to date
- Measure the plot on site and compare it with the approved plan
- Get a no-dues certificate from the owners' association
- Check permitted floors, setbacks and the body that approves house plans
- Ask how water is sourced, how it holds up in summer and what maintenance costs each month
- Where the plot is mortgaged, get the lending bank's release letter
The same developer's newer Gunjur layout, Manyata Ekamoi Gardens, suits buyers who prefer a fresh plot. Comparing a few more Sarjapur Road layouts before deciding is also wise.
