Property Dispute Resolution & Transaction Due Diligence
Don't let a property transaction become a legal nightmare. Whether you are dealing with a builder's delay or a seller backing out, you have clear legal options.
Before you invest your hard-earned money in a property, there are four critical things you must check. I guide you on verifying the property's title chain, checking for an occupancy certificate, and ensuring there are no existing loans or mortgages on the property.
What happens if someone signs a property deal but then backs out? The law provides a remedy. You can approach the court for 'specific performance' to compel the other party to follow through on the agreed terms of the contract.
About Buying, Selling & Builder Disputes
Before signing any sale deed, always run a check on the CERSAI portal. I see too many buyers caught in 'title-defective' properties because they skipped this step. Checking for existing mortgages or liens is non-negotiable—if a property has a hidden loan, you risk losing your investment entirely.
When you're dealing with property, the law is the only thing standing between your hard-earned money and a total loss. Most property disputes are not accidents; they are the result of skipped due diligence or poorly drafted agreements.
Builder Delays & RERA Claims
If a builder is sitting on your money and the possession date has passed, don't just send emails. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA), you have the right to claim interest for every month of delay. I help clients draft complaints that put actual pressure on builders to either deliver the unit or compensate you for the wait.
Specific Performance for Broken Deals
What happens if a seller signs an agreement, takes your token money, and then backs out? You aren't helpless. We can file a suit for 'Specific Performance' to force the court to direct them to fulfill the contract. The contract is king here. If it is drafted well, the law is firmly on your side to make them complete the transaction.
Due Diligence is Your Best Defense
Most legal battles are won before they start—by checking the paperwork before you pay. Whether it is verifying the chain of title to ensure you aren't buying a disputed asset, or checking for occupancy certificates, I walk you through the specific checklist that prevents future litigation.
