Legal due diligence in property purchase avoids future litigation: Advocate Devesh Ratan

Devesh Ratan: A lawyer who is exclusively representing you will only look at your interest. A broker has to charge his brokerage from both the parties; he will never say this property has this deficiency, or the papers that you are signing is fixing your liability. For example, many developers put it in their Agreement Form that if they delay the project they will only pay INR 5 but if the buyer delays the payment he has to pay at the rate of 10-15. Only a lawyer can tell you this kind of liability is wrong and it should be negotiated upon.

Unfair Contract is a disease: Advocate Nirmit Srivastav

In India, the moment you buy a house the joke is on you – whether you get the possession of the house, or that possession is delayed or even denied. The buyers’ harassment starts with the Builder Buyer Agreement which in most of the cases is a one-sided document. The buyers mostly have no other choice but to sign on the dotted lines, because by the time the Builder Buyer Agreement is thrown at their face they have already paid the initial booking amount.

Escalation fears misplaced, input materials might be cheaper: Amit Modi, Director, ABA Corp

Lockdown is not a new reality for the developers across India, and more particularly in the Delhi NCR region.
