The seller is reluctant to sell. Can I ask for 10% of the agreed amount?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a buyer. I signed the property sales contract manually. Then the agent sent the document to the seller, who signed it and sent a snapshot of all the pages.
There is no digital contract signed form F. The seller had a bank loan, which he cleared, and was waiting for a relieving letter.
The contract's last day has passed. Now he is reluctant to sell. Can I ask for 10% of the amount, as he is not able to provide the documents required for the sales deal?

ما الذي يجب فعله إذا قرر بائع العقار عدم بيعه بعد توقيع مذكرة التفاهم

3
س: سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة،
لقد وقعت مذكرة تفاهم لشراء عقار. تم توقيع مذكرة التفاهم من قبل وكيل البائع خطيًا على الورق. لقد تابعنا مع وكيل البائع وكان يبقينا على اطلاع منذ ما يقرب من شهر بأن شهادة عدم الممانعة قيد الإجراء.
في الأسبوع الماضي، عندما انتهت فترة مذكرة التفاهم، أبلغنا الوكيل أن الموكل قرر عدم البيع لأن لديه عرضًا آخر. سألت الوكيل عن مذكرة التفاهم، فقال الوكيل إن مذكرة التفاهم ليس لها أي قيمة لأنها مكتوبة على الورق وليست مدرجة في طلب مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري.
أسئلة:
هل يمكنني تنفيذ مذكرة تفاهم ورقية (النموذج F)؟ أم بسبب القواعد الجديدة لم تعد صالحة وقد أخطأنا؟
كانت مذكرة التفاهم لمدة شهر واحد، وقد مضى حوالي ستة أسابيع منذ توقيع مذكرة التفاهم.
نقدر أي نصيحة.

Can I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed?




2
Q: Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?

How to speed up buyer’s bank account opening and claim security deposit if delayed?




1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
I am selling an apartment in Dubai to a US-based buyer. The Form F was signed at the end of May and has been extended twice to allow the buyer to secure financing.
They have received pre-approval and are now waiting for the final offer letter. To obtain the final offer letter, the buyers (husband and wife) need to travel to the UAE to open a bank account.
Due to personal circumstances, they cannot travel together, which means the bank account will not be opened for at least another two weeks. The Form F is expiring in three days.
What are my recourses as a seller to:
a) force the buyer to expedite their travel plans to open the bank account, and
b) claim their security deposit held by the agent if they do not expedite their travel?
Additionally, if I file a claim for their security deposit, will I be blocked from selling my property to someone else until the claim is resolved?

Seller backed out after manually signing due to DLD website outage. What to do?




1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
I am a Dubai resident. I found a property in Dubai to buy through a real estate agent, and the seller agreed on the price I offered.
At the time of signing the Sale Contract (Form F) on the DLD website, the system was down, so we signed it manually and gave the deposit check to the agent.
The contract stated that the RERA system was down and that when it is back in operation, we should refile Form F digitally within 24 hours. The next day, the agent prepared it, and I signed it, but the seller refused to.
He proceeded with the sale of the property to a different buyer and refused to pay the penalty stated in the contract. My questions are:
1. Is this legal?
2. Can he sell it to someone else even though he signed a contract with me?
3. RERA couldn't block the sale because the contract was done manually and not registered in their system. Do I have legal rights to demand the penalty be paid or for the sale to go through?
I have a copy of the sale contract with his signature.

Can the owner of a company escape if there is a cheque execution and travel ban on him? 0
I raised a cheque execution case against a company and its owner and won. There is a travel ban on him. I was receiving installments for three months and now he stopped paying.
The court after request summoned him. In total, he paid only 30% of the owed money. I found that his company license is expired and also in the month his visa will expire.
Does he have any option to avoid payment?
Please note he was deceived by showing no money in his bank account and no assets in his name but he is running multiple businesses.
Also a month ago, he tried to convince me to lift the travel ban but I refused to do so. But he submitted a guarantee and left UAE.
Now the status shows he is back in the UAE and the travel ban imposed again. But after that, he stopped payment.
Is there a 1% chance of him not paying me the remaining money?
Is there a way he can leave the country through the Amnesty program or any of this sort?

Can a developer demand extra payment for a 30% size increase after handover? 0
Hello,
I purchased a one-bedroom off-plan unit in Dubai from a well-known developer under an SPA specifying an area of 801 sq. ft. I completed all payments as per the developer’s payment plan, and the unit was handed over to me without a Title Deed.
After taking possession, furnishing the unit, signing a tenancy contract, and making repeated follow-ups to obtain my Title Deed, the developer informed me, 45 days after handover, that the actual area was 1,041.41 sq. ft., a 30% increase from the original SPA terms.
To receive my Title Deed, they are now demanding payment for the increased size.
Key issues:
- Failure to notify me before handover about the 30% increase in area.
- The SPA allows for price adjustments for area variations but specifies that such adjustments must be reflected in the final installment, which I had already fully paid before handover.
- The developer has now filed a legal case through Dubai Courts, demanding payment.
I require legal advice based on RERA/DLD laws and the SPA.

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.
