Builder Delay/Fraud
The builder-buyer agreement, which is signed by both parties during the finalizing of the real estate deal, mentions a specific date on which the builder promises to hand over the possession of the property to the buyer.
However, not everything goes as planned. Fraud builders do not keep their promise and when asked by the buyer about the delay, they cite financial reasons, lack of funds, and other reasons. Some builders even alter the design of the property without the buyer’s knowledge.
In case of a genuine reason for delay, the builder can ask for a time extension. However, if the builder fails to deliver the possession on the extended date, then the buyer can take legal action against the builder for delay in possession of property.
But, it must be noted that the buyer is liable to take legal action only when the delay is due to the builder’s fault; if the delay happened due to some natural calamity, such as fire, earthquake, or any other reason beyond human control, then the buyer cannot take action against the builder for delay.
Benefits to choose service
Reporting a fraud against a builder is a big step and an important one. Apart from delay in property possession, many builders also scam the buyers by delivering sub-standard property that has leaking ceiling, flawed plumbing and electricity system, incomplete hearthplace protection system, and more. In this case, you can file a lawsuit against the builder with the help of a lawyer. Hiring a lawyer is important because he/she knows the laws and Acts (such as RERA) that entitles the buyer to take strict action against the fraud builder.
