Helen DSouza asked a question

Can I take action against a builder as a buyer of a resale flat in under construction building.

Category : Consumer Protection law

views: 3339followers: 1 answers: 5

Purchased resale flat in August 2016 wherein buyer (self) has to pay some amount against electricity deposit etc. Most of the buyers have occupied the flats without OC and water connection. Builder is not responding to my calls or my WhatsApp/email messages. Since I have not purchased directly from the builder can I take action against delay in possession. As regards contractual clause, builder has given an NOC to the 1st buyer stating "you have purchased the above-mentioned flat from our company vide sale agreement referred above. Hence, all the terms and conditions mentioned in the said agreement would be binding on the new purchaser.". 1st buyer had purchased in 2006.

    According to RERA(Real Estate Regulation Authority) in case of delay in possession of property beyond stipulated time and builder default, as per the agreement of sale, the buyer has the right to claim the refund of the amount paid along with the interest.
    Since you have not purchased directly from builder still you can take an action against the builder, you can serve a legal notice for possession of property  and secondly for compensation for delayed  possession of property beyond stipulated time. On no response from the builder you can prepare petition against him stating facts and evidences and file the petition against a builder in consumer court. Though buyers have the right to file complaint on the grounds of deficiency in service as it has been defined in Consumer Protection Act 1986.
