إمكانية فسخ العقد بسبب الاختلاف بشأن سداد الدفعة النهائية من قيمة العقار
س: وصلني إيميل بوجود متأخرات من شهر ١١/٢٠٢٠ بسبب عدم سداد الدفعة النهائية البالغة ٨٠% من قيمة العقار؛ إذ الدفعة النهائية والمتفق عليها تكون عن طريق تمويل بنكي. بعدما اتصلت قالوا أن العقد لا يشمل تمويل الشقة أو سداد المبلغ النهائي عن طريق البنك. (للعلم تم إرسال إيميل رسمي من قبلهم لاختيار طريقة سداد الدفع النهائية وتم الرد عليهم أنه سيتم التمويل عن طريق bank payments) ومعي بعض الإثباتات ومحادثات مع المسوول عن وحدتي أني لا أُسدد أي دفعة وأنتظر باقي الإجراءات وأنه سيتوفر وقت كافي للسداد والتمويل من البنك. سؤالي: في حال رفع دعوى قضائية، فهل هي مضمونة؟ أو في حال عدم الوصول إلى حل مرضٍ أو التنازل عن المتأخرات، فهل يمكن فسخ العقد؟ وهل تُرَدّ المبالغ؟ للعلم المشروع مُنجَز. أعتذر من الإطالة!

Can I terminate a property purchase MOU and claim refund due to seller's breach?
Q: I signed an MOU for purchasing a property from the seller. It has now been close to two months, with no progress. The tenant at the seller`s property is not allowing time for valuation purposes. And now the seller is saying it`s not his problem and is not willing to pay the 10% agreed as per the MOU. There`s a specific clause in the MOU as below: "In the event that the `seller` fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own act or omissions, then the full deposit will be refunded to the buyer, and also the `seller` agrees to pay the same deposit amount to the buyer as a compensation for the loss of the said property unless they agreed amicably to different terms or dates."
