The status path
Sold → Termination in Progress → To Be Released → repricing → Available
What happens before release
- The cancellation or termination is approved.
- If the sale was registered, it is cancelled with the land department.
- Finance records the refund, retention or transfer to another unit and issues the memos.
- The inventory team reprices the unit and releases it.
Under Dubai law, what a developer may keep when a buyer defaults depends on how complete the project is (Law No. 19 of 2020). The SPA and the developer's legal team decide the details for each case.
Frequently asked questions
Can a terminated unit be sold again straight away?
Only after the earlier sale is properly cancelled, including with the land department if it was registered, and the money is allocated. Selling it earlier risks two buyers for one unit.
Who decides the new price?
Usually the inventory or sales operations team proposes it and the same approvals as any price change apply.
Can a terminated buyer be reinstated?
Some developers allow it within a set time after termination, with approval that rises in seniority the longer it has been.
