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

Hi Guys, I have had a problem with a developer in Dubai after they cancelled my unit because I refused to pay them any more money as no work had been carried out. I contacted RERA and they simply asked me to take the matter to court. No help whatsoever, anyone know a good lawyer in Dubai?

From what i have seen in Dubai , they put the wrong people in the wronge positions , people that dont even bother to read your case , but are welling to set on a personal call during office houre for an hour, the know ........ all.
AND TO ADD SALT TO THE WOUND THEY USE GOd'S NAME IN EVERY THING AND SAY " DONT WORRY inshhallah all will be alright "
my advice to you is try to go to the owner , dont explain the case on the phone , again dont .
and have face to face meeting and settle it outside court , that is if u want to see ur money .
if you hire a lawayer it will be a year before u see what is left of ur money
best of luck

I too was really taken up by Mr. Marwan Bin Ghalaitha. Sadly he does not have a team that can back him up.

I am sorry to hear about your case. As memo123 put it, going to RERA will not help you at all. I suggest you just sit in front of the CEO's office and catch him on his way in or out. If he tells you to meet someone, tell him it's of no use.

I was impressed with this man. In RERA if anybody can help, it could be only him.

One of the forum members approache a lawyer and was quite taken up with his service. I have attached the required details.

About Us

Good luck.

Make if for the Dubai chapter of the forum, we could discuss your case. 10 heads are better than 1. Email me your interest on romel@emirates.net.ae

Hi Roshan

Thanks for your assitance, I have emailed the lawyers which you gave to me. Hopefully I wil get some help from them. I would love to sit outside the CEO office of RERA but Im based in the UK. I have contacted a newspaper reporter in the emirates business section who is direct contact with someone at RERA so hopefully I will get some assistance. Its an absolute disgrace of whats happening in Dubai at the moment as all the projects will not get completed until at least 2 years after the date that most developers have promised. I completed on my Jumeirah Lakes apartment in March which was delivered 18 months late, so was not willing to go down the same route again. Im thinking of setting up a website dealing with problems in Dubai, if your interested then send me a message

Rashad,

Try and patch up with the developer by sitting across the table and discussing. Try someone who can act as an intermediary.

The courts will be a long affair and you in the UK will have no control on the hearings.

I met a lady at RERA who has been fighting with the seller for 1 year, the seller backed out of the deal. She has been making rounds to the court and RERA and nobody seems to be helping.

Call for peace with the developer if there is some room for that. Pay this installment and negotiate on the balance payments. I have done that on one of my investments which got delayed by 14 months. This developer advertised guaranteed delivery and has 40 years of experience in the market.

I tried crossing swords, but when I saw RERA's attitude, I decided the best was to keep quiet. Don't forget most of the developers have strong connections in RERA and small investors like us will not be able to break that.

Hope you can solve this problem.

PS : You will do well if you open up a site dealing with Dubai's problems. Investors would access your site before they buy in Dubai.

Regards

Roshan

Hi Roshan

Thanks for the advice, I have told the developer i am more than happy to make the payment however there is no joy there as they are refusing to take it. They have said that I can transfer my money to a different project but I refused to do this.
