Reveal mortgage status of Housing projects, Maharashtra builders told / Eco Times / 08 Nov 2021
Extract :
The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has directed all real estate developers in the state to declare the security interests created by them on the projects registered with the authority.
The move is aimed at improving transparency and alerting prospective homebuyers about any mortgage or loans taken by the developer against the apartments they are about to buy - or the project itself.
The MahaRERA has now made it clear that homebuyers and allottees also need to be aware of such security interest created on real estate projects and apartments that they are interested in buying.
Many times, homebuyers purchase a property without the knowledge of the mortgage or loan status of the property and this later results in litigations and legal complexities.
If the developer has availed of a loan by mortgaging inventory or a few apartments and is not able to repay, banks would take charge of the property to recover their dues and this would affect the homebuyer.
These situations can be avoided with the new directive by the authority, as Cersai has the records of all properties against which loans have been sanctioned.
Realty developers will now have to submit a report from Cersai on security interests created in the real estate project along with the encumbrances certificate while registering the project with the authority.
In case no security interest has been created, the developer needs to provide an undertaking confirming the same. The developer is also expected to submit the Cersai report when it makes changes to the security interests created. According to the MahaRERA, the Cersai reports submitted need to be generated within 10 days before the date of submission.
