The possibility of delaying the delivery of an off-plan property for a year

Dear questioner,

Kindly note that you can cancel according to the terms of the contract, usually, all contracts have a one-year extension.

We can help you by advising you about the legal ground of terminations and when you can apply for termination.

Dear questioner,

We can help you in this case.

We need to review the SPA in order to comment further.

If need be, kindly contact us via phone for a detailed discussion or write us an email for further assistance.

If it is written in the SPA that there is a 1-year delay from the completion date, mentioned there, then you have to wait 1 year and if the property is not delivered, you can terminate the SPA through the court and claim money refund.

To give you a more advanced answer, we need to see your SPA.

Dear Questioner,

Yes, Dubai has the law and regulation which give the legal right to the vendor to be delayed but he should send you a legal notice and give you the absolute legal right to cancel the contract in an appropriate way based on the law and a reasonable reason.

So, please send us a copy of the SPA in order to review it and provide you with the relevant legal answer as well.

Thanks!
