More insights to guide your home-buying journey.
If you’ve ever searched for homes online, you already know how noisy the Bangalore property market can feel. Hundreds of listings, repeated photos, unclear prices and half-written descriptions make it difficult to know which properties are genuinely worth your time.
That’s exactly why we created Ashraya-Verified Listings – a filtered set of homes where basic legal, technical and practical checks are done before the listing is shown to you. Instead of scrolling endlessly and worrying about hidden risks, you see only those properties that meet our safety and transparency standards.
In this article, we’ll walk you through what “verified” truly means at Ashraya Properties, and how it gives you an extra layer of safety and confidence when shortlisting your next home.
Legal & Document Checks
We screen key approvals and documents so you don’t waste time on obviously risky projects.
Builder & Project Vetting
Only projects from credible builders with a reasonable track record are shortlisted as Ashraya-verified.
On-Ground Reality Check
We cross-check photos, floor plans and amenities against actual site conditions.
Transparent Pricing
Listings clearly mention pricing logic, what’s included and where extra charges may apply.
Practical Layouts
Floor plans are reviewed for usability, light, ventilation and vastu preferences where relevant.
Guided Shortlisting
Our team helps match you to the right verified listings based on budget, location and lifestyle needs.
1. What Do We Mean by “Ashraya-Verified”?
Any property listed on portals can call itself “premium” or “exclusive”. But for us, “verified” is not a marketing word – it is a checklist-driven process that every shortlisted project must pass.
- Basic legal approvals and land documents are reviewed at a preliminary level.
- The builder’s background, previous projects and delivery history are checked.
- Key details like carpet area, configuration, price range and possession timeline are confirmed.
- Site conditions, access roads and neighbourhood quality are evaluated.
Only when a project clears this first round does it earn the Ashraya-Verified tag and appear in our listings for buyers to explore.
2. Preliminary Legal & Documentation Checks
We are not a replacement for your personal lawyer, but we strongly believe that obvious red flags should never even reach a serious homebuyer. That’s why our team performs a basic legal screening before a project is marked as verified.
Documents we typically review
- Project approvals from local authorities (BBMP / BDA / Panchayat as applicable).
- Land title documents and nature of ownership.
- RERA registration details and project number (for eligible projects).
- Proposed building plan and sanctioned layout.
How this helps you
- You avoid visiting properties with clear approval gaps.
- You spend your time only on homes that appear structurally and legally better prepared.
- You have a stronger starting point for your own lawyer or bank to do detailed verification.
3. Builder Vetting & Project History
A beautiful elevation means little if the builder is known for delays or poor quality. That’s why Ashraya-Verified Listings also factor in the people behind the project.
What we look at
- Past projects completed in Bangalore or nearby areas.
- Basic feedback on build quality and after-sales support.
- History of major delays, disputes or abandoned projects.
- Whether the same company is responsible for both development and marketing.
Why this matters to you
- You are less likely to be surprised by slow progress after booking.
- You know who to hold accountable for quality and handover.
- You gain confidence that the builder has successfully delivered homes earlier.
4. On-Ground Reality Check: Beyond the Brochure
Many online listings reuse old photos, generic renders or incomplete floor plans. For an Ashraya-Verified Listing, our team makes sure that what you see online reflects what exists on ground.
Checks we typically do
- Visit or remotely verify the site location and surroundings.
- Confirm that sample flat photos belong to the same project.
- Ensure floor plans match the advertised configurations.
- Cross-check promised amenities with actual construction status.
Your benefit as a buyer
- Fewer unpleasant surprises during the first site visit.
- Better understanding of where the project truly stands today.
- Confidence that photos and descriptions are not misleading.
This doesn’t replace your own visit, but it ensures that by the time you go, the basic reality check is already done.
5. Transparent Area, Layout & Pricing Information
Confusion around carpet area, super built-up area and “starting from” prices is one of the biggest pain points for homebuyers. Ashraya-Verified Listings aim to make these numbers clearer from the beginning.
Clarity you’ll see in our listings
- Separate mention of carpet and super built-up area wherever possible.
- Sample cost breakdown showing what’s included in the quoted price.
- Indicative maintenance or corpus fund details when available.
- Realistic possession timelines instead of vague “soon” or “pre-launch”.
Why this gives you safety
- You can compare options on a like-for-like basis.
- You are less likely to face big cost escalations at the time of booking.
- You go into site visits with a clear budget and expectation range.
6. Matching the Right Buyer to the Right Verified Home
Safety is also about fit. Even a legally clear, well-built home may not suit your lifestyle if the layout, location or budget aren’t aligned. Our team uses your requirements to recommend only those Ashraya-Verified homes that make sense for you.
- Families with kids may prioritise schools, play areas and safe internal roads.
- Working professionals may focus on commute time, co-working spaces and metro access.
- Investors may look for rental demand and future appreciation potential.
- Vastu-conscious buyers may need specific entry orientations and room placements.
By combining verified data with your preferences, we help you spend energy only on projects that are both safe and suitable.
