Off-Plan Property Refund Disputes in Dubai

Refund claims arise where the project was cancelled, never started or stalled to the point that the buyer may cancel. The buyer's rights depend on whether the project is registered, the construction stage and the cause of delay.

Where is my money?

Buyers' payments should be held in the project escrow account. We review the escrow, payments and registration. Dubai's escrow and interim register laws are the starting points for rights and procedure.

What is the route to a refund?

Notice, regulator engagement where relevant, and then a claim. The sums, interest and timing depend on the law and the contract. Documents prove the claim.

What can delay refunds?

Disputes about default, project status and escrow release conditions. A complete file shortens this. See cancelled project claims.
