The Importance of Specialized Legal Support

The conflicts pertaining to real estate property and construction projects often include complex contracts, technical data, and significant physical risks, and the common reasons for the litigation involve:

Breach of property sale and purchase contracts.
Work delays and disputes on the delivery of the project.
Claims of defective works and bad workmanship.
Conflicts over real estate investment agreements.
Disputes over the payment between developers, contractors, and subcontractors.
Problem of land possession and title.
Termination of construction contracts and assignment of the projects.

Saudi Real Estate and Construction Law combines principles of Islamic Law and legal regulations, including the Saudi Building Code, Real Estate Ownership Laws, and specialized regulations issued by government entities such as the Ministry of Municipal, Rural Affairs, and Housing (MOMRAH).

Dealing with the aforementioned disputes and achieving positive results requires specialized legal knowledge.
