The time limit for a developer to pay the 4% registration fee to the DLD

Dear Sir/Madam,

Is there a time limit for an off-plan project developer to pay the 4% registration fee to the DLD?

It has been five months since I paid the developer the booking amount and 4% DLD fee, and I have not yet received my Oqood.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Dear questioner,

You have to send a legal notice to the developer and make a complaint in DLD.

Hi,

The fees have to be paid immediately to register the Oqood. We could help you serve the notice to the developer.

If you would like to discuss this at length, we would like to have a call with you.

Should you have further queries, contact us via phone.

Thanks!

Dear questioner,

If you want to settle the matter out of court, you can try to reason with the developer.

But since you haven't been given the title deed after five months, you can send a legal notice.

Furthermore, we need to know the details of your case to provide you with appropriate advice.

It is too long to ask for documents.

The developer must initially register the property for a period of two months only.
