Property dispute: Dubai Court forces seller to vacate residential villa

## Court Ruling on Property Dispute

In a recent property dispute, the Dubai Real Estate Court has mandated that a seller vacate a residential villa after failing to honor a sale agreement. The court's decision came after the seller did not deliver the property despite receiving full payment from the buyers.

## Details of the Case

The buyers, who had completed the purchase under a contract signed in June of the previous year, sought legal action in January when the seller did not vacate the villa. Ownership had already been transferred to the buyers through the Dubai Land Department.

## Legal Proceedings

During the court proceedings, both parties presented evidence, including the title deed and payment records. The seller admitted to receiving the full purchase price and agreed to hand over the property but had not done so.

## Court's Decision

The court emphasized that contracts must be executed in good faith and ruled that the seller must vacate the villa immediately. Additionally, the seller was ordered to cover court fees and the buyers' legal costs.
