How to claim back money invested in a joint property with ex-girlfriend
Dear Sir or Madam,
In 2016 I co-invested in an apartment in Dubai with a friend. I transferred 67% of the capital required to my friend and the purchase was completed with a mortgage.
As we were unmarried, the apartment and title deed were registered in my girlfriend's name. I moved into the property some months later but I was there infrequently due to international travel demands.
Last year, our relationship broke down and I would like to know whether there is any way to protect my original investment.
I can prove the transfers, and I do not believe my ex-girlfriend would contest my co-ownership, however, she believes she is entitled to a larger % now. I am simply interested in not losing my whole investment.
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
Yes, sure. If there is cooperation from her side, a share can be registered under your name, however, the bank and developer should approve the partial transfer.
Your right can be protected via proof of the transfer and communications. And if no amicable solution is reached, you may claim the paid amount.
Please call or email us for more details.

Dear Questioner,
As long as your ex-girlfriend is cooperating with you, this is possible. Else, you might need to file your claim in Court.
You would need a NOC from the bank and the Developer.
You can send us a chat request or call us on the number mentioned on our page to book a meeting and discuss this in detail.
Regards.
Dear questioner,
It will be easier for you if your ex-girlfriend agrees to it, (Which will further require NOC from the bank & developer), else you need to file a case in order to claim your investment.
Kindly contact us directly on the phone or by email for a detailed discussion.
