Brazil off-plan buyers may recover INCC overcharges post-settlement

Legal experts in Brazil indicate that buyers of off-plan properties may recover amounts overcharged via the National Construction Cost Index (INCC) even after final settlement, challenging the assumption that key handover ends contest rights. Contractual review could yield tens of thousands of reais in recoveries per buyer. This signals potential litigation wave against developers, though scope depends on individual contract terms and court rulings.
