Expat Properties Complaints & Reviews

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.

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

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..

Hi,
My name is mohit and we few friends invested in expat properties by buying land and paid all emi's to expat. Project passed commited lines and after 5 years expat told that projectis getting delayed. So we asked them to refund money and they agreed to refund by aug 2017. After lot of follow up they paid 20 % in dec and gave post dated cheque of of dec end. Cheque bounced and due to lack of funds in expat account and after that every time expat is saying that they will pay in one week and till date they have not made payment. Today after getting frustrated i have decided to take legal action and will post alert in social msgs not to get trapped by expat and loose money.
My number is [protected] and u can call me to see bounced cheque of expat and their false communication related to refund. All this time we cmmunicating with berlyn but it seems he cannot do anything as expat has no money and they are not able to refund people money

My family members and I booked 5 plots in Expat Pragati. We were told that once 70% payments were made the AOS (Agreement of Sale) would be signed. However, it has been 1 whole year now, and I have sent Expat numerous reminders. The response I get over the email is "it will take 3 to 4 months more". Today, Expat replied dt: 15.02.2018 saying they will be stopping all NEFT payments till AOS is signed, but neglected to provide photos of the work going in the project nor an update. I have already made over 83% payment. I have no idea when will the Agreements be signed, when will the plots be handed and what is the status of the project. When I call the helpline[protected] all I get is a monotonic voice response stating "your call is very important to us". No one answers the phone. I am planning to send Expat a legal notice and if I don't get a response and proper update with latest photos of the Pragati project, I will be left with no option but to file a winding up petition against the company and its Directors and also complain for the non-deliverability of the promised plots.

I have invested in nikash project in borghar raigarh in 2009. I had paid the entire amount through ecs over the period of five years. I had finished my payments in 2014. I was told by the company that the registration of the land will begin from 2015onwards. Three years have passed since then but no information from the company. Infact the customer services are so pathetic that no body responds and provide correct information. Planning for. Legal action against the company.

I had purchased a block of land in expat utsav but had to back off due to unforeseen circumstances. I had followed the right cancellation procedures and had accepted the fine structure. This was in january 2017. It is january 2018 now and the people at expat have been giving various reasons like rera, demonetization, etc to state that they have no cash to provide me my refund. Sitting in australia i have no way to start legal procedures against that company and i believe that is true for most of their investors (The company is called expat for a reason).

They are sitting on 7 lakhs+ of my hard earned money and are causing financial hardships. As a company they think this is expendable cash whereas the quality of life for me and my family is getting affected by this.

Hi,

I had booked plot with expat near bangalore in expat crest 2 phase 2 project. However due to some legal problems i had to cancel that.
I have been following up on refund of my 3 lakh booking amount since may 2017.
Firstly no response to calls, mails. Multiple follow will earn you response that also will not be proper. False promises. They gave the dates for refund twice and both the dates passed without refund.

This is the one of the worst company to get involved with. Do not plan to invest with this builder.

Thanks,
Deepak

Have buy 1 acre plot i n c 2011 at expat anahita project but till date not got registration till now but all other friends who had invested with me have got the registration done, have sent mail but no reply, every time i call some new relation ship manager gets appointed for me and all are having same reply your registration will be done next year and now 6 year has gone.

Thinking for legal option on this matter.

Now i think it was a wrong company i have selected for investment in land.

I had booked quarter acre n. A. Plot through mrs. Mitchelle of mumbai office on 15th september, 2012this plot is in village kudali project name garv. I paid rs. 2.50 lacs, under unique booking id: b1204885, customer id: c1205145 relationship manager: chandrika at bangalore.

Thereafter, i paid all the stipulated instalments under the agreement. I paid the last instalment of rs. 1, 20, 833 on 15th september, 2015. The plot was supposed to be ready by this time.

To my utter surprise, like any other land developer (Like disha direct who is a fraud), i was informed by ms. Chandrika, on 18th may 2016, that the project is delayed and it will be handed over by sept 2017. They will pay interest @ 10% p. A. From the agreed date to the date of possession.

Now, even the deadline of september 2017 is over and there is apology from the company side that they are still not able to deliver as promised. When i call there offices in mumbai, mitchelle does not come online and chandrika is mostly in a meeting. Even mr. D'souza is in a meeting.

Now, i wonder whether i would ever get the n. A. Plot as promised?

I would suggest all prospective buyers to be warned of such unscrupolous companies in real estate sector.

I have invested in 1 acre n. A. Plot at roha sundew heven in 2010 and i was promised to register the plot in 3 years, i was following till 2016 with them and received only false promises. Investors should be careful while investing with expat properties.

Expat property directors and not coming out clear with investors and providing correct information.

Managers working at expats are only sweet talking personnel and they do not have any information to share with investors.

Worst people, cheaters and fraudsters expat properties is.
I had invested in 2010 and they did not give any status update for last 3.5 years. When i followed up, it took berlyn 40days to find out the status from their "operation team" and the status was "they won't be able to complete the project" and offered me alternate studio apartment in goa.
They are cheaters and are like vultures eating on dead meat. People are waiting for their refunds for over 2 years. Their directors hide behind 2 sweet talkers, mr berlyn & mr agnelo.
They are running a ponzy scheme and are looting innocent investors of their hard earned money.
Mr berlyn can not deny knowing my investment or a single word that i have wriiten here. He is unable to fix asimple meeting with any of his director as if they are pm of india. Cheaters enjoying in dubai on our sweat & blood.

Project: tav in mulshi takuka
1 acre project. Not a single stone turned in name of work.

Like a number of the gentleman on the forum ; i have a similar experience with the expat group on the wisdom tree project in hennur that is now delayed by almost 3 years. After waiting patiently for more than a year after the initial delay ; i wrote to them requesting a refund of my payments that amounted to over 90% of the flat value. After an initial acknowledgement of my request and a mail stating that they have moved to a "dynamic relationship model to facilitate faster response times"... There was silence for several months. When i contacted their dubai office, the excuses and extension of re payment deadlines began. I had a couple of meetings with ravi & elton (Dillon) as well to no avail. It was always a case of "give us another month or so" but not surprisingly it's now been yet another year and still no progress on any front. And to add to this one of the reasons i received from dillon for the lack of communication was he was away for several weeks in london meeting clients.

Delays and hiccups are part of parcel of more than a few projects in bangalore & other parts of india but the sheer miscommunication or lack communication and blatant lies are quite unacceptable. Please let me know if anyone is taking this up legally in bangalore so i could join you in the same

Hi all,

This is darshan. I have invested 1 acre of agricultural land in expat "utsav" project in mhasala on 26 feb 2014. Every month the ecs was getting deduct from my account from last 4 years on regular basis. Now, only few months are left for the payment to get completed. But, since my father got operated for brain tumour and we had to take loan from someone on interest, i now had decided to cancel my this booking and need refund on urgent basis. I have to repay the loan to that person as interest is already increased and that person is sitting on our head. I am looking for refund on very urgent basis but these expat people giving excuse and want time frame of 6 months and that to they will pay in installments. I don't understand why they are having problem to give our hard earned money back. I am not in a condition to hold that person for sooo long. Kindly arrange for refund asap and full amount in one shot.
