Sending a proper legal notice to the developer for handover delay

I have purchased an off-plan apartment from a developer. It was supposed to be ready on phase 1, 2019. The contract states that the legal delay is 12 months.

After that period, I should send a legal letter to the developer and they need to finish the project within 90 working days.

I was advised by their customer service representative to write an email. He told me that an email with my name, unit number, and a complaint is the legal letter I need to send, but it does not sound right to me.

Should I get a legal letter from a Dubai Court?

The progress of the project is only 33% by now and I want to get my money back.

Hello,

The recommended course of action is to submit a legal notice to the developer. This is something that my firm has extensive experience with.

The legal notice depends highly on the relevant terms of your contract, as well as relevant U.A.E. laws and regulations that support your case.

Generally, it will give the developer a deadline to respond and return your money. Make sure all communications with the developer are documented moving forward.

Kindly contact my firm via phone or email if you require our assistance.

Regards,

Ludmila
