Real estate developer disputes extend beyond just delivery delays; they include actual area differing from what was agreed, changing specifications or finishing without buyer approval, failing to complete promised shared facilities (pools, gardens, parking), or the project stalling entirely. Each type of dispute needs a slightly different legal track depending on the nature of the breach.

In cases of serious stalling, the General Real Estate Authority has the power to install a replacement developer to complete the project, per what the developer's contract with the owner and buyers explicitly provides. This right protects buyers from losing their money entirely when the original developer can't complete their obligation, but needs active follow-up from affected buyers to actually activate it.
Off-plan sale contracts usually include a specific clause on unit area adjustments (Clause 20 in the accredited template), setting the allowable percentage difference without compensation, and what the buyer is entitled to if the difference exceeds that percentage. Carefully reviewing this clause when purchasing, not after discovering the discrepancy, clarifies your rights in advance.
