Frequently asked questions
What can you do if a flat bought off-plan is delivered late?
Off-plan sales are governed by Law No. 107-12, which requires a written contract specifying, among other things, the delivery date and the guarantees. In the event of delay, the buyer may, depending on the contract and the law, seek performance, compensation for the delay or cancellation of the sale with a refund of the sums paid. Gather the contract, payment receipts and correspondence with the developer before taking action.
What is the difference between a registered property and an unregistered one (melkia)?
A registered property has a land title held by the land registry: the rights entered on it are enforceable against everyone and the title is final and cannot be challenged (dahir of 12 August 1913 as amended by Law No. 14-07). An unregistered property relies on deeds, often drawn up by adouls such as the melkia, whose value can be disputed. Before buying an unregistered property, it is wise to have the deeds checked and to consider applying for registration.
