Auction of unsold flats by UPRERA

Dated on: Friday 20th September 2019

To provide relief to lakhs of aggrieved homebuyers who were forced to wait for the possession, the UPRERA has decided to auction unsold flats of defaulting builders to pay back the investors seeking a refund in delayed housing projects. This is perhaps the first time that such a move has been announced in the real estate sector. Soon, UPRERA will float a portal for the global e-auction of unsold properties of cash strapped builders who have been issued recovery notes. In both the kind of refund cases- whether non- delivery of flats and buyer wants to exit the project or the other one is where the builder has promised penalties for the delay but has not paid late fine to the buyers, the money from the auction will be used.
