Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I'm a buyer and came to the final stages of the process, all cheques have been issued and shared. I was pushing developers about NOC (the seller takes things very slowly), and they realized a big mistake in the documents, the Dubai Land Department gave us a Title Deed instead of a Pre-Title Deed. The bank prepared all cheques through that. Our MoU expires in a couple of days. We offer the seller to extend the MOU to provide documents. So whose fault is it? If the seller decides not to continue with the process and not renew the MoU, what would be my rights here? Can I get back my cheques and be covered by the seller legally? Thank you

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Form F was signed between the seller and the buyer; however, the seller did not proceed with the transaction, resulting in its failure. The contract stipulates that if the seller breaches the deal without reason, they are obliged to pay a fine of 10%. Can I, as the buyer, take legal action?

Q: Hello, I signed a contract Form F with the seller through an agent on 1st Aug 2023. He was supposed to finish the transfer on 16th October but he did not do the transfer. The property was 90% completed at the time of making the contract and he assured us that in one month he would finish the property. I sent him the legal notice on 16th Oct 2023 which is the last date of the MOU. After the date of expiry of the contract, he is demanding more money. We agreed verbally on the new price but still, he avoids making a new MOU. He puts all the clauses in his favor removing the main clause that if he backs out, there will be no penalty.
