BACKING OUT of 10% Deposit on REDUCED OP

[desert dream]

Guys,
I have a 2 BR residential for which the OP was around apprx 8 Mill AED.
I paid a downpayment of 10% or approx AED 800K.
Now, the developer reduced the price by about 45%, so the OP is 4.4 Mill AED.
Subsequently, the property is now around 45% paid for...i.e. my 10% is now 45% paid.

If I back out now..the reservation form says I lose 10% of total cost of unit paid as booking amount..
This means as I can walk away losing 10% of 4.4.
Is this correct?
I have a resevation form (no SPA yet).

Guys, please advise me..the per sq ft price is 2500 net in Maritime City...
But with prices falling i would rather lose 440,000 dirhams than keep funding up to 4.4 mil..and the developer reducing the OP means my deposit has gone from 10 to 45% paid..theres no way they can keep all 45..??

Thanks

Something is wrong with your calculation.
I think 800k is around 18% from 4.4 million.
Please confirm

Please do the math again

if the price is reduced by 45% then the price now is 5.2 mio and you paid .8 mio that would be 15.38% of the new price , so you would still owe them 14.6% to make 30% of the total price where then you have to top up this amount and pay them more to make 1.56 mio . Yet if it was as per original law 30% of what you paid then it would pay 240,000 dirham . lets wait and see where they have reached is it 30% of the price , or of what you have paid . Added to this what is your reservation papers say ? and did you buy before or after 31 August .
What A MESS!

yup it is 18%.

 

[memo123]

65% of 8 mio is 5.2 mio not 4.4 mio

yup it is 18%.

15.38% only is what he paid

In regard to your refund - it may depend on whether or not the developer has listed / registered your unit with RERA - and if he did- it may have been the higher (original price you paid BEFORE the discount) - if that is the case, being that RERA has to approve the cancellation of your contract - the cancellation penalty may be based on the original price.. you need to check if the developer registered your unit...

which project and who is the developer?

 

[desert dream]

ETA - Verde Residential

 

[aligoldy]

I have also bought in Maritime City in the Alfaraa project, Bellato residence.
I have paid 7.5% on a reservation agreement and have refused to pay the next installment of 7.5%. They have supposedly sent my case to RERA however I have heard nothing from RERA.
What has happened withe the VERDE project?
Alfaraa are telling us we will lose our money.
I have approached the UK government, they are going to approach the FCO. Article 11 law 13 should protect us and we should be getting 70% of our money back.
Have any of you joined the forum which specifically relates to article 11 law 13?

you have indicated that you approached the UK government and they will contact the FCO.
which department in your government did you approach ? for I was thinking of going to my government for protection and support , but who is the FCO you are referring to?

I have drafted a letter to Gordon Brown and he replied and said he is reffering to FCO.

Would you like a copy so that you can send a fax?

Have you joined the forum for investors against article 11 law 13?

Maritime City should be canned..I heard ETA is going ahead with both towers..

Are you sure they are not canning he projects?

Have you requested access to their escrow and the NOC for construction and registration of project?

 

[desert dream]

I was in their office yesterday and they said both towers are going ahead only they will ask for the next payment in apr 10...
they reduced OPs..my 2 bed is 4.4 mil and my friend who bought inthe office tower his OP is being reduced 40% as well..
but thats not enough...i paid 20% so im stuck but my friend is not paying more hes forfeiting ..
the rest of maritime is a disaster....sold 4000 + Gross area with 3rd rate developers such as Kensington, Damac, Al Faraa..
imho ETA is still the cheapest and best on maritime

I bought alfaraa at around AED2,700 per sqft; do you know if the project is going ahead?

 

[desert dream]

No Idea..did u buy Gross or Net Area?
I dont think its worth funding anymore if u have paid only 10%..

You dont want to pay AEd2,500; it is too much money I feel.

FCO is the Foreign & Commonwealth Office not sure what they can do about it though I think we need a petition signed by all investors no matter who the developer is from all investors asking for more clarity and updates here in the UK and a department of RERA here in the UAE Embassy
