Expat Properties Complaints & Reviews

I too have invested in six plots of Expat properties Lonare Project in Maharashtra 5 years back and more than 70% of the money has been paid. They are supposed to sign an agreement with me for this deal but they are not heeding to my repeated requests. My retirement savings are stuck and am not getting either land or money back. I suggest we should form an Investor Forum and file joint complaint with SEBI, RBI and Writs in High Court against errant Company officials. Those who agree with me, should contact me via mail [protected]@gmail.com, mobile [protected].

Dear all,

My request to all possible investors of expat, please check the trustworthiness of the company.

I have invested in expat nidhi and harmony projects of expat. The last instalment of harmony project was cleared in january 2018.

Inspite of investing in three properties alongwith my friends, there is not a single call from expat about the progress on site. We have to call the executive whose standard reply is development would be in last few months of your instalment dues, but inspite of paying all the dues on time for their projects, registration process is yet to start and nobody from the company update the status. If you have paid the money, need to be behind them to get your property on which you paid your hard earned money.

For the past several months, i have been emailing their customer care and mr. Berlyn also, but no satisfactory reply as on date. They are not able to provide a satisfactory reply to my single query and also not aware of the rera registration number on the project, which is compulsory as per the law of the land and the law is applicable for more than two years.

The company execute is after you only upto the moment you complete the initial application formalities and pay the cheque, after which you are made to run from pillar to pillar for any information or clarification.

So my advice to all possible investors just check the standard of the company.

Invested in expat halcyon (Plot no. 4) project in 2011 with promise of handover/registration by end-2012. Now we are reaching end-2018 (Six years past the due date) and expat never handed over the plot on due date nor refunded a penny till date despite repeated requests, phone calls and mails.

Commencing legal action against them shortly.

One advice - do not fall for their promises and sweet words ever. Instead, check their reviews online first.

I purchased plots in expat garv and expat samruddhi in 2013/14 in dubai and till now there has been no delivery of these projects although all the money has been paid on them. On following up with their uae office they always come up with some excuse or the other regarding these projects but cannot answer anything about the delivery.
On samruddhi and garv they came up with excuses first that the handover of the project is delayed, then they came up with excuses that they are awaiting permission from the local authorities and now there is no response at all.

Hi everyone i have purchased 1 acre land from expat properties customer id c 1207456 hiranya projects and now they have received full payment and now they are saying there is issue with that property and they want us to shift to other property at other locations and prices also not matching now i want to get refund my full amount but not getting proper response what are the necessary steps can be taken against them?

Please do not invest at any cost. Maybe some customers were lucky with their investments but i see more problem cases than happy ones. I for one am a victim.
To cut a long story short i invested in one project in 2014. Launch was planned around the end of the same year. To date there is little or no progress. I asked for my refund in july 2017 which as per their letter of intent should be paid off within 3 months. Berlyn d'souza whose word i kept believing has dragged it till date and now has asked me to hold on for another 3-4 months!!! They have never stuck to a single assurance, promise or timelines so why would anyone believe their lies now? The main excuse they have is rera and slow industry. On the other hand they promise to pay me based on future/pending sales within 3-4 months??!!! Suddenly contradictory to their excuse or rera and slow market they are assuring of payment in 3-4 months!! Obviously its a lie as berlyn gave me this story 3 months ago and i didnt get a single paisa. Vicious cycle. They say they will get money from sale o[censored]nits n then the same strategy becomes an excuse as after 3-4 months they say no sales & no money.
Guys please beware. I have put this on fb too.
Also since they are assuring me i asked for post dated cheques. They side stepped that request and chose not to address that option.

The company is an absolute scam. They make investment affordable through easy payment schemes and once they have amassed the savings of working professionals they default on their commitment and refuse to handover the property or pay the customer back. It has been 10 years since i invested. Getting through to them is impossible and then they give false promises of remedying the situation, obviously nothing ever happens. I invested with them in Chanasya project at Raigad, Mahrashtra.
I have speaking to various people in the organisation and no one is helping. I was issued an email with the refund schedule that was supposed to begin to be paid back from 25th June 2018, one week before that I received a call saying that do not have any money and will work on the same.I have not received any answers from them since inspite of repeated calls and reminders to the claims team..

Hello guys, now I really believe that expat properties is a fraud company. We had invested in the nikash project which is a total failure. We asked for our hard earned money back and Expat properties as making us run for our money. Mr Berlyn D'Souza is a total liar. Guys put your money in banks and not in a fraud company like expat.
Expat properties at Mumbai sent us email stating that money would be released in parts. We agreed. They were suppose to initiate it from June onwards but still they haven't given us a single penny. They keep on giving us dates and false promises. Mr Berlyn D'Souza is a complete fraud just like his company. This company should be closed. I hope media houses cover this news and alert all the citizens.

Guys,
I been running behind this group (Expat properties) ever since 2013 for a cancellation and refund process. I had invested with expat ( B1203085), My investment was in year 2010-11 and still running behind them for a settlement. if you see the kind of email response you get from these people, its driving me crazy. I am also now planning to file legal proceedings against them in Dubai and in...

Dear Friends,

Please be aware about any investment with Expat group. Have bought an acre land in Anahita 2 in 2011, with an promise of registration in 2016. Now its been 2 years, have made all the payments but still the property is not registered.

Last one year i have been chasing these guys for some alternate option, refund or swap option (land only) or land registration. as of now noting is happening..

The beauty of Expat is they make you talk to new person each time and it just goes in loop...

So please be aware, its a total FRAUD and save your money

My name is joel d'sa and live in qatar. Expat contacted me in 2010 with project sundew heaven and i bought some land paying 13laks in 2011. After couple of years i got to know there is no such project existing in roha. I contacted expat dubai, mumbai and local qatar office to refund my monies. No answer till date. I request all people to be aware and not to invest in expat....

I had invested in their bangalore chandapura project 2 years ago, hoping that the project would start, i had invested from dubai, until now the project has not started and no one has a clue, you have to follow up with them to get an update and people keep changing everytime. I have given up on this company and want to exit with my entire property value refund, have emailed them several times but no one seems to bother getting back.in fact i invested the entire property value in advance. What a waste of time, should have invested elsewhere.

I guess i will have to take this up legally if i do not receive my funds in time. I have been disappointed with a second project so i have no more faith in expat.

They have not bothered to come back with a concrete timeline. So time to take this up in different way here in dubai

Karjat sparsh resorts. For 8 years they delayed and finally after a lot of follow ups and persistence they agreed to sale deed and then when it was to to process i’m told by chaya that an noc will be required for a borewell in my plot for the supply of water to all, they freshly dug (1 month) without permission. Very shocking and unbelievable crooked move by this company last moment effort to make me give up the land. They are wasting time and are using tactics to snatch the land. For plot no 184.in sparsh resorts karjat by expat properties. Having their office in bandra kurla complex. The sales rep is chaya who had sold 2 properties to me since 2009 and hasn’t delivered anyone them.

They will take money from you then leave it for years and will not give the registration of sale deed. Please do not pay without registration of sale deed and verification of document by advocate. They usually then ask you to swap again with no documents and will start using tactics to return the money. Do not trust them they entered my premises this month, illegally broke the boundary wall, dug the hole for borewell.
In case you need more info, call [protected] i can provide lots of proof.

Please refund all my investment with compensation.

I i made full payment for 2 land projects - laverne and harmony. Both investments are fully paid up but not delivered. They should make immediate refund but say it will take 12-14 months! Further, 3 years i made an early bird investment of rs 10 lac for flat in vida 2. I was to be given preference to choose flat. They did not invite my choice nor communicated opening of the project. Result is there is no apartment of my choice left. Their executives do not take calls do not reply to emails and the company has not initiated any communication with me all these years once i made the payments.
I want a full and immediate refund with compensation from all 3 projects.

Not handing over my lonere (Mangaon) land for 6 years. Since 16th march 2017 we are literally begging to give us an update but there is none with false promises n excuses that we shall get back to you,

90% of the time our calls are not answered, they are not even returned and same with emails. This company has really given me hurt n stress.

God will surely punish everyone involved in this stupidity.

I am a retired senior citizen living in mumbai. I have no income. I live on my savings and use my reserves that i have made during my working life.

I had purchased a plot in andhra pradesh from expat projects & development company in july 2003. The developer had promised to register and hand over the plot to me in march 2015. I have paid my regular instalments till jan 2015 but when they were not going to hand over in march 2015 they asked me to stop payment till further notice.

Ever since then, i have been begging, requesting them in this case. I gave them an option of offering me an alternate plot close to mumbai since i am from mumbai. They did not do anything. Finally i said to refund my money. Till date they are only giving me false promises and delaying my refund payouts.

I am enclosing herewith a brief history of my case. You will observe how they have been harassing me from day one and even now they are only giving me false promises.

Respected sir, i am approaching you with high hopes that you will help me in getting my refund.

Refund of rs. 4+ lakh is not a big amount for such a big company. But it makes a lot of difference to me especially now that i have retired. They only want to delay the payments - that has been their intentions from the beginning.

Following are the details of the company (I am enclosing a copy of his card herewith)

Mr. Berlyn dsouza
General manager
Expat projects & development pvt ltd
611/a kohinoor city mall
Kohinoor city, kirol road
Off lbs road, kurla (West)

Hoping to receive a positive action from you sir,

With best regards

I invested rs 6 lakh 13k in this company but due to some financial emergency and i asked them to refund my money but it has been already more than one and half year but they are just making excuses..
I am a defense person and i invested my hardened money with suggestions of an ex defense person but that was my biggest mistake of my life.
However i am sending them a legal notice follwed by a case of fraud, mental harassment
.. Pls suggest other better idea to recover my money i am in urgent need of that..
