Dubai off-plan handover delay and extension clauses
A delayed handover assessment requires the SPA, contractual completion and extension provisions, actual project status, notices and the remedy being sought. An announced date is not always the contractual date.
Apply the framework to the real facts.
Build a dated file of the SPA, payment history, developer updates, official project status and personal loss. Obtain legal advice before withholding instalments, cancelling or claiming compensation.
What to check
- Contractual completion date
- Extension or force-majeure clauses
- Official construction status
- Developer notices
- Payments and requested remedy
Common mistakes
- Using the brochure date instead of the SPA
- Stopping payments without advice
- Assuming every delay creates automatic compensation
