"What a notary contract, I'm the boss myself!" Builder in Vlora asks for extra money for the house he paid for

The show "Stop" is located in Vlora on the "Transbalkan Road", about the problem of Mrs. Katrina Mitraj, who in 2019 ordered an apartment from the company "Binaj 2003", completely liquidating it.

Today, after so many years, the palace is not finished and the builder is asking for extra money if the lady wants to keep it. Otherwise, Gentjan Binaj tells her to return the amount Katrina paid.

"Hello! In 2019, I bought an apartment in the city of Vlora from Gentjan Binaj, "Binaj Shpk". The building was supposed to be finished in 2021, the building is not finished yet, I have a problem with the builder. I have paid the full value of the house, as much as we have in the contract, he took the money, I waited for the house to be finished, the house is not finished yet and today, this builder tells me to give me back the money, as much as I gave at the beginning, to break the house contract, because the building says, it probably won't finish anymore. Or he tells me that if you want the house, you will pay more money, because according to the law, the prices of apartments have increased, m2, while in the contract I have it emphasized and the gentleman has signed, that the price does not change, nothing depending on the time that has passed, "  says the complainant.

"Stop" communicated with the company's administrator, who claims that prices have increased and he cannot build the building with these types of payments.

He says he doesn't even ask about a contract or a notary, as he is the master of his own work.

Gentjan Binaj:  With that lady in question, first of all I don't have a problem, I don't know what problem she has with herself. When she discusses with people, who are not okay with themselves. We both agreed as people, that we had a coffee through some mutual friendships and she bought a house for 15 thousand euros, the lady. Let me tell you what the contract is, what did she pay. Out of the 15 thousand euros, she will get 20 thousand euros back and she will use her job, I will use mine. She received 10 thousand euros with mandates and she would receive 10 thousand euros in advance 20 days.

Administrator's Brother:  He didn't.

Gentjan Binaj:  Get out of there! (Addresses his brother). What do you mean by Notary? The Notary is not above everything. I am the Notary! I am the Lord of my work. I will find the law, sister. I will find the law, if a citizen disagrees with me.

The Director of Urban Planning at the Municipality of Vlora, Zambak Selmani, says that for the apartment in question, there is no request for an extension of the construction permit deadline.

"Regarding the entity Binaj 2003 for the facility it is building on the "Transbalkan Road", there is no extension of the permit deadline and the moment an extension of the permit deadline comes, the local authority imposes a fine for violating the work deadlines. This facility can remain like this for up to ten years,"  said Zambak Selmani.

"Stop" asked administrator Gentian Binaj why the building remained at this stage and whether he had applied for an extension of the deadline.

Gentjan Binaj: Yes, my permission, I don't give a damn when the permission will expire. The permission has some rules. Due to financial problems and many other problems, the permission will be renewed and the works will continue. Can the palace be finished with a person who buys a house for 15 thousand euros? There are some rules that suit the state and I told the person, if you keep it, you will pay 30% more.

Notary Ardian Stamo explains that the building party is not in a position to change the price. On the other hand, lawyer Arben Llangozi states that the builder is in a position to commit the criminal offense of theft through fraud./Tvklan.al
