How the objection of a client be dealt with after being notified for termination by DLD?

I have been notified by DLD that I am in breach of an off-plan sales agreement, and the developer wishes to terminate the agreement.

The date on the notice is March 9, 2021, and I received it from the developer on March 11, 2021. The notice says I have 30 days "from the date of being notified" to make the outstanding payment.

On the termination notice from DLD, a list of objections is present. One of the objections states that the developer must hand over the final SPA to me.

In this case, I have not received the final SPA from the developer. I made an objection in writing to the DLD pointing this fact out and sent it via email, and received a confirmation of the same from DLD by return e-mail on April 6, 2021.

30 days from March 9th is April 8th, or from March 11th is April 10th. Does the developer have to respond to my objection before the DLD will allow them to terminate the agreement?

In this case, will the time I have to make the payment be extended by any period?

Hi,

Yes, as long as you have objected to the notice, the developer should respond and you may follow up.

You can make the payment before the deregistration process takes place and if you would like to extend, I have a strategy that can be followed.

In addition to that, if you don't have money to pay the outstanding, I can advise on the best solution to avoid losing the amount paid.

Please call back if interested.

REGARDS,

Dear Questioner,

Yes, the developer must respond to your objection. Please note that 30 days will be counted from the date of receipt of the notice i.e 11th March.

Further, we need to review the terms of the booking form and check the terms which are stated so that we can guide you with the next steps which you must take to avoid losing the money paid.

Please send us a copy of the booking form, statement of accounts, and all supporting documents via email.

Thanks!

Thanks, Sunil!

Does the time period stop when the developer responds, or are they allowed to proceed with the termination regardless?

They are allowed to proceed.

Please contact me via phone for a detailed discussion and assistance.

Dear Client,

Good day!

Do not worry, this is a standard legal notice sent by DLD for termination of the unit.

You need to respond within the period of time and if you have a counter claim or case against the developer, make sure to file it before they filed against you.

So I would strongly advise coming to our office so that we can review and advise you accordingly.

For further assistance, please feel free to contact us on our phone or send us an email.

Thank you.
