Questions & Answers
Terminating the SPA and claiming refund for changing specifications
Can a developer change the layout of the building as shown at the launch event and part of all brochures/online advertisements/model under the pretext that the same is not included in the SPA?
For the launch, we got convinced with the building design and layout but at delivery, it’s changed without prior intimation.
Can I make a legal case or can they take the guise that it’s not part of the SPA?
Can I get a refund for the 30% advance payment and refuse possession of the unit?
If they are major changes especially for the size and the view complete design, yes, you can take legal action against them.
For any further clarification, don’t hesitate to contact me by phone or email.
Dear questioner,
You can terminate the mutually signed SPA if the changes are more than 5%.
Further, we need to review the whole case in order to assist you properly.
If need be, kindly contact us by phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.
Dear Questioner,
If the changes are huge then you can terminate the contract. If they're minor, then you are entitled to compensation. There is another law concerning the changes in the space.
We have to examine contracts, documents to see the agreed terms and ground for termination.
