In 2021, Yuvraj Singh booked a flat in Delhi's Hauz Khas through the builder, with the property priced at around Rs 14.10 crore. The real estate firm handed out the possession letter to Yuvraj Singh in November last year. However, upon visiting the property, the cricketer found that the quality of materials used in the flat was not up to the mark. Moreover, the builder compromised on the interiors, with the quality of fittings, furnishings, and lighting being below standard.
Yuvraj Singh had sought clarification from the builder, who used his name to promote residential buildings under the 'Sky Mansion' project in the extended Abadi Deh (Lal Dora) area of Village Chandan Hulla, Tehsil Hauz Khas, New Delhi. He also demanded compensation concerning the delay in the delivery of the flat and the poor quality of its materials via a legal notice. However, he didn't receive any satisfactory response.
The cricketer booked Apartment No. 0012 on the 23rd floor of Tower A based on a sample picture. Both parties signed the sale agreement on February 5, 2021, and the builder sent the possession letter to Singh via email. Singh sent a Notice of Arbitration to the real estate firm on May 26 of this year, referring to Clause 38 of the Sale Agreement.
The builder failed to respond to the legal notices, and instead, terminated the agreement. Yuvraj Singh immediately sought a refund of the amount he paid, with 18% interest. As per the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the builder was allowed to use Singh's name to promote the property until November last year. However, the firm allegedly continued to exploit his brand value even after the deadline, with Singh's photographs being seen on the project site, billboards, social media posts, and online articles.
With the Delhi High Court issuing a notice to the real estate firm, the fate of the property dispute remains to be seen. The case highlights the importance of careful planning and research before investing in real estate, as well as the need for developers to adhere to their commitments and maintain transparency in their dealings with customers.
