If the carpet area has been mentioned in the sale deed it cannot be increased without your consent unless and until the increase in the carpet area has been occasioned due to any amendment to the law, incorporation of new rules or judicial mandate. The builder is entitled to charge additional money for an increase in the carpet area.

4. You may issue a lawyer's notice to the builder to seek compensation for changing the location. If he does not comply with the notice then move to consumer forum against the builder to seek refund and compensation.

first of all carefully read your agreement. when any change occurs in the agreement then it is called novation of agreement and without your consent it can't be possible. you have a choice either to give consent or revoke it. if you give consent then old agreement will lapsed and both are bound by the new agreement. but when you are not agree with the alteration in agreement then new agree will cease to exist and other party( builder) has only two options either to obey the old agreement or disagree with the agreement. in later action you have right to cancel the agreement and claim compensation on the ground of breach of contract.
