FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from apartment buyers and investors dealing with developer disputes in Karachi.
No. Under Pakistani contract law, a developer cannot change the agreed price without your written consent. Any demand for extra payment beyond what your original agreement states is potentially unlawful and can be legally challenged. You are not obligated to pay amounts you never agreed to.
Do not sign any addendum without first consulting a qualified lawyer. Signing may permanently waive rights you hold under your original agreement and bind you to unfavourable new terms. Always have a lawyer review the document and explain its full implications before you make any decision.
Yes. A formal legal notice can be issued through a lawyer demanding compliance with original agreement terms, cessation of unlawful demands, and threatening filing of suit for specific performance or recovery. A legal notice creates an official record and frequently compels the developer to engage seriously with your concerns.
A booking cancellation without legal grounds or proper due process may be legally challengeable. If you have met your payment obligations and a developer threatens cancellation to pressure you into signing new terms, this itself may constitute a wrongful act. You may be entitled to seek an injunction from the court to prevent such cancellation.
Yes. Multiple buyers facing the same issue — such as an identical addendum demand or uniform price increase — can pursue collective legal action. This significantly strengthens the legal case and reduces the cost per individual buyer. Contact us to discuss whether collective proceedings are suitable for your situation.
