Delayed property delivery: Can I sue the developer and get my money back?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have fully paid for and registered a property from a developer. There are no dues on my part. My wife and I own the property, which was registered in 2019.
The property was supposed to be delivered in 2020, but the builder has not provided any official information and has only mentioned delays due to COVID-19 verbally.
The property has not been handed over to us yet, and their office has not responded to our inquiries clearly. They always say that the property will be handed over in one or two months.
My contract includes a late payment penalty and a rental guarantee for two years after the handover. How can I file a legal remedy?
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
Based on the information provided, to address the issue of delayed property delivery by a developer in the UAE, you may consider taking the following steps:
1) Send a Written Complaint: Draft a formal written complaint detailing the delays, the verbal communication, and the lack of response from their office. Send it via registered mail or email to their official address.
2) Consult a Lawyer: Take personalized legal advice from us.
3) Mediation: Attempt mediation with the developer to resolve the matter amicably before escalating it to court. Many disputes can be resolved through mediation, which may save time and expenses.
4) File a Case: If the issue remains unresolved, and the delays persist, you may need to file a legal case against the developer seeking specific performance, compensation for delays, and enforcement of the late payment penalty and rental guarantee clauses in your contract.
