Breach of real estate contract Question: Three years ago, I bought a property from one of the real estate developers and the property, according to the sales contract, had two rooms and a hall. However, now, the developer wants to hand over some other property to me, comprising just one room and a hall and the area is also less than what was agreed upon. I told the developer to either cancel the sale contract or give me the property that had been agreed-upon, but the developer has refused to do so. My question is: Am I legally entitled to file a lawsuit, cancel the contract, claim compensation and ask for a refund of the amount that I have already paid? Please advise.

Answer: You are entitled to file a case to terminate the purchase contract, ask for a refund of the money that you have already paid and request for compensation for the breach on the part of the developer because he has changed the agreement according to his own will, without your consent. However, this compensation claim will be a matter for the court to decide.
