Delayed turnover of condo unit

[dx8976]

got this from another board, but am also curious since I'm in a similar situation.

"I would like to inquire from your office as to what options
I have in this case where the developer has been delayed in
turning over the unit to us. Sometime in July 2007, the
developer had advised us that the house and lot we
purchased in Binan, Laguna was ready for turn over. Upon
our actual house inspection, we saw that there were a lot
of sub standard works that certainly do not comply with
what they have committed to deliver per the contract we
signed. As such, we asked for the necessary rectification
which they said they would October or November of last
year. To this date, we have not received any word from
them on the turn over of our unit. Meantime, our transfer
has been delayed and obviosuly expenses in renting an
apartment in Makati could have been saved if they were
prompt in the turn over and compliant with the standards
they have set.What are the necessary actions that I should
take regarding this matter? Can we have the option of
charging them for the period that they have failed to turn
over the unit? Or can we just demand from them to refund
to us our DP? If not, can we ask them to sell our unit and
not charge us with all the admin or processing fee? Would
really appreciate your help. Thank you."
