Can you claim compensation from the developer for delay in handover?

Dear

I have paid 100% of my property payments and it was confirmed by the developer that they will hand over the apartment in the month of April 2021 but still, they haven't handed the apartment over.

When I called them today, they told me it will take another one more month but they are not giving a tentative date. Now we are paying the mortgage loan and monthly rental payment.

I am now getting struggle for paying both the loan and monthly rental. Can I claim compensation if the developer delay further?

Dear Questioner,

If there is a delay in the handover, you can certainly claim compensation.

You can contact us on the phone to discuss this in detail.

Yes, sure, compensation for the loss of revenue, loss of rent caused by the delayed handover despite full payment.

Share more documents so we can advise on the project status. A notice should be sent to reserve your rights and the way forward.

Regards,

Sayed
