MahaRERA demands to make information about flats sold public

The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRera) has now directed builders to publicly disclose if an apartment has been sold or booked or mortgaged, following an increase in complaints about builders illegally reselling the same flat to multiple buyers.

A leading property consultant told the media that the flats are sold to any other allottee without the knowledge of the first allottee.

The same apartment could even be mortgaged to a bank.

In that case, neither the first nor the second allottee, nor the financial institution, is aware that the flat is being sold.

He went on to say that the developer raises money illegally from two to three different parties for the same flat.

Purchasers should check the RERA website to see if the project is registered and building approvals have been obtained, according to lawyer Anil Harish, an expert on property laws.

He advised the buyers to demand a lender's release for the property in question, as well as a search of the sub-records registrar's for title and mortgages.

According to experts, if more than 10% of the flat's value is paid, the buyer must register the agreement.

In order to encourage people to register, Harsh suggests that the stamp duty on an allotment letter, a letter of intent, or an MOU could be 1% of the price.

This 1% must be deducted from the stamp duty on the agreement, leaving only the remaining 4% to pay.
