Q:Hi!I had bought an apartment in Asten Viveria at Thengod near Kakkanad.The project was promised to be complete by 2015 and was delayed by the builder.Now i.e. in October 2017, the builder is asking me to take over the apartment for which registration is incomplete, authority water and electricity is not completed and occupancy certificate from local authorities have not been obtained. Is the builder right in his claim to handover apartment without these legal or official documents? Can a aggrieved customer refuse to take over in such instances?Thanks
Latest Answer: No, do not take possession of flat in absence of completion and occupancy certificate. It will consider as illegal and some basic amenities will discontinue by the local body. A building, of which possession has been obtained without taking OC, can be demolished at anytime. If builder had completed building as per sanctioned plans completion certificate would be issued by the authorities.
Q:I had selected an apartment in the project liking a particular balcony view and as the building size was less. However after collecting the booking amount and now nearing completion, the builder says he has altered the floor plan moving the balcony elsewhere and increased another 3 number floors for which approval is still awaited. Can this decision of the builder be contested?
Latest Answer: Hi Bijou,
I had recently visited Viveria flats and as per them the final approval will be received in a months time. Even they are informed that, the payment shall be made once the final approval is received. Do you have any information later since I was planning to purchase
