Default in fulfilling obligations under off-plan property purchase
I bought an off-plan property In Abu Dhabi and have paid some percentage as part of the flexible payment program for the down payment.
However, no sale and purchase agreement has been provided to be signed by both parties.
Construction did not commence and recently, the entire project has been moved to another developer.
I have been contacted by the new developer and was told the project construction start date is indefinite.
Based on this, can I get a refund as I only have the reservation agreement and no contract has been signed, plus the project has not started which will definitely not be completed in time (even with a six months delay allowance)?
Dear Sir,
I hope you are fine.
Further to your inquiry, kindly be informed that I need the below initial information/documents prior to advising you in your real-estate matter:
1. Reservation Agreement.
2. The amount which you paid up till now.
3. Any email communication, wherein you demanded sales and purchase agreement and which shows the delay in construction.
Upon receiving the above information and documents, we will review the matter and shall provide you with our opinion on how to proceed in order to claim a refund of the entire amount.
For confidentiality, you may send us the required documents and information at info@awsuwaidi-advocates.com, or, you can call us at 045547635.
