Claiming the amounts paid for a property for breaching obligations by the developer

Hello

I've booked a unit X (and paid 10%) in a tower C of a Project of 3 Towers (A, B & C) on the basis of a swap to another unit Y in Tower B when the latter is commercialized.

There was a confirmation from the sales manager in Whatsapp for this arrangement. When Tower B has been launched, the sales manager requested me an additional 2% to secure the swap to Unit Y which I've paid (communications in Whatsapp).

After that, he told me that the swap can't happen based on a newly revised policy when the new unit should cost at least 1.5 the already booked unit. I've explained my case to CRM with no follow-up until now.

I've not signed any SPA yet and I didn't get yet the receipt of the last 2% sent to the new unit Y.

What can I proceed with in case I want to secure the swap to Unit Y in Tower B?

As well I want to cancel the whole thing?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hello,

According to your case, please note that if you want to cancel the deal and get your money, then the 2% only can be claimed (through the court) as the 10% booking fee is normally non-refundable.
