Real Estate Residential

MARG ProperTies

As of 2018, there have been several reported issues in the media related to MARG Properties. Many of these involve delays in handover of the MARG Brindavan project located near Oragadam area in Chennai.[17] The project was launched with a great deal of sensationalism and with the slogan "Goodbye Landlady" and received a affirmative response with its media coverage. However, many of the buyers who had booked apartments with this project in late 2010 and in 2011 have reported no handover of these flats as of April 2018. This was also shot up with the arrest of the Chairman of MARG Group, G.R.K Reddy in November 2017 after a complaint was filed against him for cheating a buyer worth Rs. 25 lacs. The complainant had said that despite paying the money, MARG properties had not provided the apartment he has purchased.[18][19]

Also in September 2017, MARG properties was one of the two builders penalized by Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TNRERA) for non-registration of projects before the deadline as proposed by the Authority.[20]
