I have a dispute with my developer, and I want what's owed

Delayed possession, poor construction, or a developer who has gone quiet. We pursue your refund, compensation, and the property you were promised.

Signs you may already have a claim

A booming property market in India has brought real opportunity, and a fair share of developers who do not keep their word. Delays, defects, missed agreement terms and long silences are the most common complaints we hear, and any one of them can be the start of a valid claim.

  • The developer has not completed the project, or has delayed handing over possession well past the agreed date.

  • The construction quality does not match what was promised, the layout was changed without telling you, or you have simply stopped hearing from the developer.

  • You have been asked for unexplained extra charges, or the completion certificate still has not been issued.

How we build your case

  1. 1

    We review your file

    We go through your agreement, payments and correspondence with the developer in detail.

  2. 2

    We build your strategy

    We map the strongest route to resolution, whether that is a consumer forum, RERA, or a negotiated settlement.

  3. 3

    We file your claim

    We represent you before the District, State or National Consumer Commission, or RERA, whichever fits your case.

  4. 4

    We pursue your refund

    We push for your payment back with interest, plus compensation for the delay or default.

  5. 5

    We close it out properly

    Once funds are released or the matter is settled, we confirm everything is documented so the case is genuinely finished.

Litigation is not always the fastest route. Where it serves you better, we negotiate directly with the developer for a fair settlement, without giving up your right to pursue a claim if that does not work.

What you'll need to get started

  • If you took a loan: tripartite agreement, correspondence with the bank, payment statements, and the builder's account statement.

  • If you paid directly: allotment letter, payment receipts, buyer's agreement, bank statements, correspondence with the builder, and the site plan.

  • Missing something? That is fine. We help you identify and request whatever is outstanding.

Other property matters we handle

  • I have someone in possession of my property

  • I have a dispute with my tenant

  • Help me sell my property in India

  • Managing property matters without a dispute

Your developer dispute questions, answered

How long do I have to make a claim?
There is usually a limitation period, typically around two years from the issue arising, such as a missed possession date or a breach of contract. Later filings are sometimes accepted with good reason, but earlier is always stronger. We confirm the exact position for your case.
What if my purchase was financed through a bank?
We will need your tripartite agreement, bank correspondence and payment statements to build your case.
What if I paid the developer directly?
Your allotment letter, receipts, buyer's agreement and any correspondence with the builder are the best place to start.
Is an unregistered sale agreement still valid?
It can be enforceable in law, though we usually recommend getting it properly registered as part of your claim. We advise on your specific position.
Which forum handles my complaint?
Depending on the value and nature of your claim, that is the District, State or National Consumer Commission, or RERA.
Can I appeal if I lose at the District or State level?
Yes, appeals are available, generally within the prescribed limitation period. We confirm the exact deadline for your case.
