At last....we are the proud owners of a house...:-)
On the 25th of May 2008 while we were in BR Hills (Our 3rd visit) along with my wife's sisters and my co-brother I got a call from my brother informing me about a house which has come up for sale. This house was just 2 playgrounds away from his. When he told me about the price (Am not revealing the price) I straight away said a stern NO! Can't afford it and very costly for a 2 bedroom North-East corner house. My brother asked me to have a look in any case. I reluctantly agreed. We agreed to meet on the 28th of May to check out the house. Meanwhile my dear brother and my SIL spent one entire day to come up with a 6-7 pages document which explained the pros & cons of buying that house. That document is the reason why today we are a very proud owners of this house.
After reading the document we proceeded to check out the house. We had seen some 4-5 houses in the same locality and never liked even one. We went with no expectations. As mentioned earlier this house was on a North-East corner site and diagonally opposite to house was a playground.

As we entered the house we could sense a positive vibe which was missing in the all the other houses. The house was as per vaastu. I go for vaastu for scientific and not for religious purposes.
The entrance was facing East. The ground floor consisted of a Sunken living room, a dining room, a very spacious Kitchen, a small bedroom and a common Bathroom.

As you climb up the stairs you enter into a Family room identical to the living room below.

The master Bedroom is huge with big wardrobes and an attached Bathroom. There is also a huge spacious balcony over looking the playground.

The house was very neatly maintained (Hard to believe it is around 6 years old). The floor was of normal tiles and the looked good. It looked like the painting was recently done. It has one borewell and one sump for the Cauvery water.
We all fell in love with house. We needed to do some calculations and hence commented that we liked the house very much and would get back to them shortly after figuring out if we can indeed go for it.
After a long long calculations and assumptions we decided we are going to give it a try. After some negotiations we finally agreed upon a price (No! Not revealing the price).
We entered into an agreement on the 6th of June 2008. We needed some time for getting the necessary funds.
After four months we somehow managed to get the required funds and decided to go for the registration on the 3rd of Oct 2008. The registration went on smoothly and we got the keys and all the other documents. The very fact that we now are the owners of a lovely house hasn't yet sunk in.
Finally we are the proud owners of a house...:-)
A note about the owners:
A very lovely couple who has taken a lot of pain to ensure that the house was coming up as they wanted. They have paid great attention to every minute details, the effort of which we are going to enjoy now. Another good thing about them was they never looked their age. We could never imagine that both of them were 50+. My mother till yesterday thought that the lady of house was just 35 years of age.
