The breach of contract with a builder and legal action for delay in delivery

Dear Lawyer,

We are 18 landowners 200 yards each entered into a development agreement with a builder on 2/2014.

Then conditions are that the builder in his share of 50:50 can construct flats and sell. With a GPA fraudulently obtained, 18 months time with a grace period of 6 months to complete and handover fully furnished the flats.

In case of delay, a rent of 6000 per month and 3 lakhs refundable deposit are to be paid to each landowner.

The builder neither handed over the flats (60% built) nor paying rent or deposit of 3 lakhs. Electricity meters are fixed on our name and we are all paying minimum charges.

The builder is not responding to our phone calls nor attending meetings whenever called for. The builder sold his share of flats.

Please advise me the best.

L.

Dear L.,

Good Day!

It's very clear that you have the right to sue the builder according to breaching the contract between you and him.

However, you have to send a warning letter to the builder and the new builder he hired to follow all obligations as per the contract.

You can also send the agreement to have a look to can give a proper consultation.

For any further inquiry, kindly contact us on the phone.

Thank you
