What to do when builder delays construction of apartment?
I had bought an apartment in Chennai from a first time builder. It was a gated community project. After the booking was done, they kind of rushed us into registration also. The apartment we bought is in the Phase 2 of the complex. Even phase 1 is not completely handed over. It has been over 2 years for us already and the 19 storey building that our apartment is present is only completed till 15 floors and has remained in the same state for over 2 years.
There are two buildings in phase 1 that has been handed over (there are a total of 6 buildings in the project ). They keep saying the 3rd building is complete and will be handed over this month but the painting is not even complete.
The progress of construction is very very slow. Is there any legal options for a buyer like me to force them to quicken the pace? I do want to move in to the apartment at some point. If only the builder just finished the project already.
