Builder to Society Handover of charge


We have been receiving many queries from people residing in  Multi Building Complexes that have formed the Society and are in the process of taking Control & Maintenance Handover from the Builder. We hope this note and Comprehensive Checklist will help both the Builder and the Society in hassle-free Handover.
Lifecycle of a typical Multi- Building Complex (Apartment / Flats / Villa Complex):
1. Purchase of a Land Bank by the Builder from the Landowner(s)
2. Construction of the Building and sale of individual Units to Owners (typical duration of 1-3 years)
3. Handover of the Units to the Owners for Occupation, and maintenance of the Complex by the Builder (typical duration of 1-3 years)
4. Formation of Residents Association/Society and handover of the Maintenance & Control by Builder to the Society (typical duration 6 months)
5. Management of the Complex by the Society (typical duration of 25-30 years)
6. Redevelopment of the Complex by the Society in collaboration with a Builder.
It is evident that the crossover between Point 4 and Point 5 above is crucial. A Property which will be managed by the Society for 25-30 years and beyond need to be conveyed over to the Society.
