Legal Notice to Builder / Developer

What this is

Send a legal notice to a builder or developer who has delayed possession of your flat, plot or shop, refused a refund, demanded charges not in the agreement, delivered a unit with defects, changed the plan or amenities, or failed to execute the conveyance deed. It is for home buyers and allottees of units in real estate projects. Our panel advocate drafts, reviews and signs the notice on letterhead and it is sent to the builder by email and WhatsApp, with tracked speed post if you choose it.
