Value of easement rights during property redevelopment

Our building is going in for redevelopment with another building. Plot areas of both buildings is the same but we have exclusive easement rights to an additional 30% of the area. We are being offered flats of the same are as the other building. We are expecting to be compensated with flats of larger area than the other building. The builder is not willing to give in to our demands. Can this matter be brought before the court ? Are there precedents where the court has made a ruling that existing flat owners must be given flats proportionate to their plot area ? Experts please advise.



Quick Summary
When redeveloping a property that includes exclusive easement rights over additional land, owners expect compensation proportionate to their total plot area. This discussion explores disputes where builders offer flats of equal size to neighbouring properties, ignoring the easement rights. It questions whether legal action is possible and if court precedents exist for owners receiving larger flats based on their enhanced plot size, advising a review of the redevelopment agreement with legal and engineering experts.

The builder has to abide by the terms and conditions of redevelopment agreement, accordingly show the agreement / specifications / sanctioned plan to a local civil engineer and a prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts, raise deviations / discrepencies (if any) and professional advise for necessary proceeding.

Yes, any suggestion depends upon the terms of the Redevelopment Agreement.
