I have concluded that RERA will not be able to solve problems as yet. I will not cross swords with my developer as RERA will not be able to support me if any problems arise.
I will go to my developer and re negotiate my payment terms like a thorough gentle man.
Heard another horror story in the secondary market. The buyer paid Dhs 500,000 for a commercial in the secondary market, The seller changed his mind. Now the seller has served a legal notice nad the case has gone to court, the clauses in the contract favor the seller.
The seller has approached RERA and...the battle goes on. I don't RERA can do much after today's experience.

Dear Roshan,
I totally agree with your frustration with RERA; however, I feel sorry for the CEO or RERA as it is clear that he is the only active person at RERA that can get things going in the right direction with not much help from the rest of the team.
I believe that RERA is going to change things rapidly in the near future as long as it starts to catch-up on the back-log of complaints it has. RERA should always be encouraged to work proactively and not reactively as it has been doing for the past year.
From my dealings with RERA (and I'm not a property investor) I present the above view and I truely believe that they are doing a great job but they need the support and understanding of the public to help them get over the big mountain they have.
Regards,
Insider
