Urban Reality: What do homebuyers want from elections 2019?
Apr 3, 2019 11:32 AM

Rewind to 2014 May - there was a sense of hope among lakhs of stuck home buyers across the country who were promised a corruption free government. Fast forward to now - there are still 4,20,000 housing units stuck across India. For the first time we saw a regulator for India's housing industry - RERA, we got a much sharper Benami Act, we got equal privileges to bankers for home buyers in the Insolvency Act, yet the homes are nowhere near completion.

Is it that the wheels of justice are grindingly slow or was there a lack of political will to resolve the pain of the middle class homebuyer? CNBC-TV18's special show Urban Reality - Election 2019 caught up with experts to understand what the voter with stuck home wants.
