MahaRERA Orders Refunds for Unapproved Flats; Greece Proposes Higher Property Tax for Non-EU Buyers
MahaRERA rulings emphasize the importance of verifying real estate approvals before payment. In one case, buyers booked flats on floors beyond the approved construction limit, relying on promises of future approvals; the regulator ordered refunds with interest. Another case involved buyers who booked flats in 2013 but faced project delays and lapses, leading to MahaRERA mandating refunds and compensation. Separately, Greece proposes increasing property transfer tax from 3% to 15% for certain non-EU buyers, potentially affecting Golden Visa investors from 2027 onward.
