Acting against delay of delivery for a purchased property

Hi,

My house was supposed to be delivered on 30 Dec 2018 but it's more than 1 year of delay and still, there is no communication on when it will be delivered.

I have paid 30% of my house value in October 2018 + 2% DLD and rest 70% is on delivery as per the agreed payment plan.

We are speaking to the builder to get a better picture of the delivery progress of our house but they say they yet don't have the exact date of delivery.

Kindly advise, what should I do?

Thanks.

Dear questioner,

Delivery of a real estate project can be delayed up to a period of 1 year by the developer.

But in your case, the delay is for more than a year. Therefore you can claim compensation for the delay.

Further, we need to study the SPA signed by you to comment further.

Kindly contact us by phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.
