DDA luxury flats scheme turns nightmare for buyers: Allottes complain about shocking construction quality, delayed possession

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Allottees of the under-construction apartment society have raised complaints to the DDA about shattered wall tiles, patchy cement beneath, as well as rusty pipes and iron reinforcements, raising doubts about the materials used. Some allottees have alleged that old fittings might have been used in the luxury flats. Additionally, electricity and water pipes were visible through unfinished walls and plastering on them.

The buyers have also pointed out that the complex was registered under the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) after repeated requests and RERA's recent intervention in April. The DDA also informed RERA about a potential project completion extension to October 2024, contrary to the initial promise of June 2024. With significant investments already made, allottees are finding themselves financially strained, fearing further delays in possession. Allottees have expressed concerns that they have already paid 75 percent of the amount, and their loan EMIs have already started, in addition to the rent they are paying for living in rented accommodation.

However, the DDA has reiterated its commitment to providing quality accommodation. As allottees continue to grapple with uncertainty and construction woes, the future of the DDA's luxury flats project remains uncertain, raising questions about accountability and consumer protection in real estate ventures.
