   Disclaimer: This is not a legal tender. It is a broad guideline issued to answer frequently asked questions of our customers. Modi Properties & its associated companies/firms reserve the right to make changes to the above. Further, these guidelines may not be applicable to all projects promoted by Modi Properties. Some projects may be in variance with the above.

• Q3. How is Modi Properties is different from most other builders?
  Modi Properties is different from other Builders primarily on four counts: (a) Design: All our Projects are designed by reputed architects. The emphasis in the design is to enhance the quality of life of the occupants rather than maximize the area constructed. Accordingly, all units have proper ventilation, good vastu, access through wide corridors/passages and are designed to maximize usable space. Typically the constructed area is restricted to about 70% of the maximum permissible construction to ensure large open spaces. (b) Amenities: Affordable housing is synonymous with poor quality. However, Modi Properties is providing affordable housing of great quality with modern amenities like club house, swimming pool, sports facilities, landscape areas, generator backup, security etc., Customer not only enjoy a quality product at affordable prices, the amenities also improve their quality of life. (c) Transparent dealings: Customers can be assured about title, approvals and costs as these are clearly stated in our brochures, agreements and website. Clear and transparent dealings leave no scope of misunderstandings and customers can be certain about the terms of their purchase. (d) Timely completion: Date of completion is stated up front at the time of booking and Modi Properties has a near 100% track record of on time completion. Modi Properties understands that customers financing their purchase through housing loans can face severe hardship in case of delays, as payment of EMIs can be a burden.
• Q4. How is quality ensured?
  Achieving quality is ensured by: (a) Using quality material. Most materials are purchased from the top 3 brands available in India and that to wherever possible directly from the manufacturers. (b) Quality of personal. Each site has several qualified engineers along with a team of supervisors and admin staff to ensure that construction is taken up exactly as per design and procedures laid out. (c) Quality check. At each stage of construction like RCC work, civil work and finishing works inspection is carried out by an in-house quality control team. Project managers at site can proceed to the next stage of construction only on clearance from the QC team. Reports with hundreds of check points are made at each stage of construction and are directly monitored by the top management.
• Q5. What about guarantee against construction defects?

  Modi Properties is providing a certificate of guarantee at the time of completion/ possession of each flat/villa. The guarantee is against construction defects for a period of one year. The structure is guaranteed for 15 years. Thereafter, services will be provided through our construction team to our customer on chargeable basis.

  We are giving an opportunity to each customer to point out construction defects before taking possession of their flat/villa. Such defects are being corrected before handing over possession. In several projects CP fillings, sanitary ware, sinks, electrical switches and wires, door locks, etc., are guaranteed by our vendors and they will be repaired or replaced by them.

• Q6. What is the scheduled date of completion?
  The scheduled date of completion of each flat/ villa is given in the 'Pricing' page of each project. It is also clearly stated in the agreement of sale.
• Q7. What about delay in construction and completion of villa/flats?
  Most of our projects are completed on time or before time. At best the delay would be one or two months. We guarantee that the villa/flats will be handed over with a maximum delay of not more than 6 months from the stated date of completion. Compensation for delay in handing over possession is clearly mentioned in the agreement of sale.

On payment of first installment an agreement of sale shall be executed. As per the policies and approvals of housing finance companies in some projects a sale deed and an agreement of construction have to be executed at the time of release of first tranche of housing loan. In other cases a tripartite agreement between the builder, housing finance company and purchaser is executed and sale deed is registered only after payment of all dues. Sale deed shall be executed after payment of all dues for purchasers not availing a housing loan. The draft formats of the booking form, agreement of sale, sale deed, agreement of construction, etc., are available on our website.

• Q16. How do I obtain a housing loan?

  Purchasers if eligible, can obtain loans upto 80% of total sale consideration including registration charges. Details of housing loans including application forms for resident and non-resident Indians are available on the websites of most housing finance companies. All our projects are approved by most leading housing finance companies. For further information please write to our customer relations team at cr@modiproperties.com

• Q17. What are the formalities for releasing the housing loan?

  After making an application for housing loan along with all required documents and processing fee, the housing finance company (HFC) will issue a sanction letter. The HFC may request for further documents which will have to be provided.

  Thereafter, documentation like loan agreements, etc., need to be executed. HFC may also request for pre-EMI and EMI cheques as per their policy. On completing these formalities the HFC is ready to release the first tranche of the housing loan in favour of the builder. The payment is released on submission of a tripartite agreement between the builder, HFC and the buyer. Alternately, the HFC may require the purchaser to deposit the original sale deed and agreement of construction that will have to be executed in place of a tripartite agreement.

  As per RBI norms the purchaser must pay the margin money, stamp duty, registration charges, VAT, etc., to the builder before the first tranche of housing loan is released.

  Our customer relations team will help you to complete these formalities. On a later date the purchaser has to send request letters to the HFC for release of balance loan depending on stage of construction. HFC on such request inspects the flat/ villa and then releases the amounts.

  Please note that the liability to ensure the regular payment from the HFC to the builder is that of the purchaser. Our customer relations team shall help you in completing the entire process. However, the purchaser is required to give their full cooperation without any delay to our customer relations team.
