The Wafi system regulates the sale of off-plan real estate units before construction is complete, requiring developers to license the project and open an independent escrow account before marketing begins, protecting buyers' funds from project stalling risks. Whether you're buyers planning to purchase an off-plan unit or developers planning a new project, understanding this system's requirements is essential to protecting your rights. The next step is reaching out to verify the project's licensing.

Verifying Project Licensing Through the Wafi Platform

We verify the license number and project status through the official Wafi platform before any financial commitment, since this initial verification protects buyers from risks of dealing with unlicensed or stalled projects.

The Escrow Account and Buyer Fund Protection Mechanism

We clarify to buyers how the independent escrow account the law requires developers to open works, and how this account protects their paid funds from being used for purposes other than the specific project.

Project Licensing Requirements for Developers

We help real estate developers meet complete statutory licensing requirements before starting marketing, including engineering and financial approvals required from relevant authorities.

Drafting Sale Contracts Compliant With the Wafi System

We draft off-plan sale contracts fully compliant with Wafi system provisions, clarifying the payment schedule tied to actual completion stages, and the buyer's rights in delay or stalling cases.

Delayed Delivery and Buyer Rights

The contract and Wafi system provisions determine the buyer's rights in delay cases, and we help buyers claim appropriate compensation or even terminate the contract and recover payments if the delay is serious.

Project Stalling and Its Risks for Buyers

We help buyers harmed by an off-plan project stalling understand their options for recovering their funds from the escrow account, an essential protection this system provides compared to off-plan sales before its implementation.

Unit Specification Disputes Upon Delivery

We help buyers who receive units whose specifications differ from what they were promised in the contract or marketing catalog claim correction or compensation for this discrepancy.

Early Marketing Before Meeting Licensing Requirements

We alert buyers to risks of dealing with projects marketed before meeting complete licensing requirements, and help them verify these requirements before any early financial commitment.

Assigning an Off-Plan Unit Before Delivery

We help buyers wishing to sell or assign their right to an off-plan unit before its actual delivery understand statutory procedures for this assignment, including developer approval and formally updating the new buyer's details through the Wafi platform.
