Real Estate Lawyer for RERA & Builder-Buyer Disputes
Real estate disputes under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 can be complex and drawn out — whether the issue is a delayed handover, a disputed project registration, or a builder who has fallen short of the commitments made at booking. We represent both individual homebuyers and institutional clients before UP-RERA and the RERA Appellate Tribunal.
We handle the full range of builder-buyer disputes, delayed possession claims, project registration and compliance matters, and appeals — with the aim of securing possession, compensation, or refund at the earliest possible stage, and pursuing appellate or execution remedies where required. This practice serves homebuyers and developers with real estate matters in Lucknow.
A RERA advocate reviews the builder-buyer agreement, promised possession date, payment receipts, project registration details, and correspondence with the developer to assess the available remedies. Our real estate lawyers assist with preparing complaints, presenting supporting documents, responding to the other party, and pursuing appeals or enforcement of orders where appropriate. The relief available depends on the facts, the agreement, and the applicable law; no particular outcome is guaranteed.
For ownership, title verification, partition, sale deeds, or land disputes outside the RERA context, see our property and land legal services.

Our Approach
We begin with a confidential consultation to understand the facts and documentation, followed by clear advice on the likely outcomes and the strategy best suited to your matter. Where possible, we work towards a negotiated or mediated resolution with the builder or developer — but we are fully prepared to pursue the matter through UP-RERA, the Appellate Tribunal, and execution proceedings where necessary.
Your RERA Rights, in Plain Terms
The statutory basics that decide most builder-buyer matters — the same provisions we argue before UP-RERA and the Appellate Tribunal.
Possession Delay & Refund — Section 18
If possession is not given by the date in the builder-buyer agreement, the buyer may claim interest for every month of delay, or withdraw and seek a full refund with interest under Section 18.
Interest Rate on Delay
Delay interest is calculated at the prescribed rate — the State Bank of India’s highest marginal cost of lending rate (MCLR) plus the margin set under the RERA rules — applied to the amount the buyer has paid. We confirm the exact rate applied in your matter.
60-Day Appeal Window — Section 44(2)
An appeal against an order of the Authority must be filed before the RERA Appellate Tribunal within 60 days of the order under Section 44(2).
Promoter Pre-Deposit — Section 43(5)
Where a promoter appeals, Section 43(5) requires a pre-deposit of at least 30% of the penalty, or the total amount to be paid to the buyer, before the appeal is entertained.
Carpet Area & Amenities
RERA fixes liability on the price of carpet area and on the amenities promised in the sanctioned plan — shortfalls between the brochure and delivery are actionable.
Execution of RERA Orders
A RERA order that is not complied with can be executed as a recovery certificate through the District Magistrate, with further remedies before the High Court where required.

RERA Insights
Common questions homebuyers and developers bring to us — drawn from our RERA practice in Lucknow.
How to File a Complaint Before UP-RERA
A UP-RERA complaint is filed online on the prescribed form with the requisite fee, supported by the builder-buyer agreement, payment receipts, and correspondence evidencing the delay or default. Once admitted, the Authority can order interest, refund, or compensation to the buyer.
Ask Us About This →What Counts as 'Possession Delay' Under RERA?
Possession delay under RERA is measured from the date committed in the builder-buyer agreement, not marketing brochures. Once that date passes without a valid occupancy certificate, the buyer can claim monthly interest on the amount paid, or withdraw and seek a full refund with interest under Section 18.
Ask Us About This →Builder-Buyer Disputes: Documents You Will Need
A RERA builder-buyer complaint is strongest with the allotment letter, the sale or builder-buyer agreement, the payment schedule, demand and payment receipts, and the project’s RERA registration or occupancy-certificate details. These establish the committed timeline and the amount paid, on which interest and compensation are calculated.
Ask Us About This →RERA Appeals: What Is the Time Limit and Pre-Deposit?
An appeal to the RERA Appellate Tribunal must be filed within 60 days of the Authority’s order under Section 44(2). Where the promoter appeals, Section 43(5) requires a pre-deposit of at least 30% of the penalty or amount due to the buyer before the appeal is entertained.
Ask Us About This →How Do I Choose the Right Advocate for a RERA Case?
Rather than searching for a "best RERA advocate" by ranking alone, check that the advocate regularly appears before UP-RERA and the Appellate Tribunal, is named and identifiable on your matter, and explains the likely strategy and outcomes before you engage — these are the factors that actually decide a RERA case.
Ask Us About This →Do I Need a RERA Lawyer Near Me, or Can I Hire One From Another City?
A RERA complaint is filed before the Authority in the state where the project is located, so an advocate familiar with UP-RERA practice and the local Appellate Tribunal is generally better placed than searching only for a "RERA lawyer near me" by distance — what matters is regular appearance before the forum handling your matter.
