Broker Demanding for high 2% charges but we were not committed for the % charge Broker Demanding for high 2% charges but we were not committed for the % charge

1 year ago

One broker accidentally met my mom for showing property and he showed one property, he has not discussed any % brokerage charges before and we purchased that property after registration, he is demanding 2% Brokerage charges and I denied to give them. Now he lodge a complaint at the local police station and threatened to case filing and get a copy of the sale deed from the registration office and threatened to block property in EC itself. He also came with 2-3 people near my home saying Broker Association members to pay the broker fee and using vulgar words. Please guide me .

A.Review the agreement: Check if there was any written or verbal agreement between you and the broker regarding the brokerage fees. If there is no agreement, the broker cannot demand a fee. However, if there was an agreement, you may need to pay the brokerage fees as per the agreement.

Seek legal advice: Consult a lawyer who specializes in property law and dispute resolution. They can guide you on your legal options and how to proceed.

File a complaint: If the broker is harassing or threatening you, you can file a complaint with the police station. Provide them with all the relevant details and evidence.

Obtain a stay order: If the broker is threatening to block the property in the Encumbrance Certificate (EC), you can obtain a stay order from the court to prevent this. A stay order is a court order that prohibits the broker from taking any action that could affect your property.

Negotiate a settlement: You can try to negotiate a settlement with the broker to resolve the issue. However, make sure to get any agreement in writing and have it reviewed by a lawyer.
