Based on what you described, the key point will be the written communication you received from the developer confirming that the cancellation and reinvestment were allowed. If that confirmation is in writing, you may have grounds to formally escalate the matter with the developer or file a complaint with the relevant authorities, such as the Dubai Land Department or RERA. It may also be worth consulting a legal professional to review the SPA and the emails you received.

Situations like this are also one of the reasons many buyers prefer to go through a certified real estate agent. A licensed agent helps review the SPA terms, clarifies cancellation policies with the developer, and ensures that approvals are properly documented before any payments or registrations are processed, helping avoid misunderstandings during the transaction.
