Consumer Legal Protection in Landed House Transactions: Buyers’ Rights and Developers’ Obligation
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the importance of legal protection in landed house sale and purchase transactions through property specification, certification, and delivery accuracy. In this case, landed houses, and the accuracy in delivery time plays a role in providing protection for consumers in buying and selling landed houses.
Research Methodology: The methodology used is literature study and analysis of regulations in force in Indonesia, namely Law No. 8 of 1999, Law No. 1 of 2011, Law No. 5 of 1960, and the Civil Code.
Results: The research results show that clarity of information regarding house specifications and legality of the property, as well as accuracy in the delivery time of the landed house, provide legal protection for consumers. In addition, clear certification, such as a Certificate of Ownership, is very important to ensure legal certainty for consumers.
Conclusions: In landed house sales and purchase transactions, transformational legal frameworks and clear property certification significantly protect consumer rights. Developers’ obligations to provide accurate information, comply with promised specifications, and deliver land certificates on time are essential. Consumer rights are safeguarded when legal protections are clear and enforced, reducing potential disputes.
Limitations: This study focuses on literature review and legal analysis within Indonesia, which may limit generalizability to other countries or contexts with different property and consumer protection laws.
Contributions: The study provides insights into integrating multiple legal frameworks to ensure consumer protection in landed house transactions, emphasizing developer obligations and consumers’ rights. It offers practical guidance for policymakers and legal practitioners in the property sector.
