#2 Stronger Buyer Protections: New Off‑Plan Property Law

Abu Dhabi has introduced new regulations governing off‑plan property contracts.

In some cases, they may retain a percentage of the buyer’s deposit depending on construction stages, while buyers retain legal recourse if disputes arise. The Times of India
