The right action after cancelling the project of a purchased property

Hi,

I have purchased a property in Dubai in 2014 and was promised for handover after 6 months, but didn't complete.

In 2018, the property was ceased by the land dept but the project where we had our unit was 90% complete so it was not cancelled and now they gave it to a new developer to complete it and hand it over.

We were told by the land dept now to contact the new developer for registration and handover. Now almost 2 months passed we have sent multiple emails to the new developer but no response from them. Not even acknowledged.

What should we do in this situation?

We have paid the full amount.

We have a signed contract and all payments proof. But that developer ran out of the country, and all their projects have been cancelled and ceased in 2018.

Hello Dear,

You may have a right to claim your amount in full that you have paid for this property.

Please send the SPA and emails that you sent to this new developer to our email or call me.

Best Regards
