Redevelopment query

Hi, It is not advisable to hand over possession based solely on a notary document. A notarised paper is not legally binding like a registered agreement. You should insist on a registered, legally enforceable agreement (such as a registered permanent alternate accommodation agreement) before vacating. This will safeguard your rights in case the remaining floors are delayed or not approved. To discuss further, get in touch

Don't go for notary attested documents ɓut opt for registered agreement and only then hand over possession to redevolper. 

The notarised document is not legally valid and not enforceable in law especially with regard to transaction pertaining to immovable properties. The registration of the document  is mandatory under section 17 of the Registration act in respect of any transaction pertaining to immovable properties.

If the approval is only for seven floors, you should very carefully deal with the builder's claim for 20 floors, especially when you are lured to this with false promises. Once you have vacated the property and delivered posession to the builder and if he has demolished the building, then you will almost become slave to the builder and may have to dance to is tunes 

- Partial municipal approval of only the 7/20 floor does not entitle the developer to commence full redevelopment or require members to vacate for the entire project.
- Members should insist on legal approvals from proper/competent authority(s) and registered documentation before vacating or handing over possession.
- Unregistered Notary Agreements are neither enforceable nor protective for members' rights.
- Registered agreements and proper approval is required for members to vacate. 
- egistered agreements do not cure the absence of statutory municipal approvals or legalize work or possession for unapproved floors.

What are the constraints in getting the approval for all the floors, as proposed?
