The Malta Developers Association (MDA) said in a statement on Saturday morning that it had received a number of complaints from persons who bought apartments with the condition that the developer had to finish the common parts in an indicated time frame and subsequently this work was not carried out.

“In some cases buyers completed the finishing works inside the flat but their property cannot be used since the developer failed to honour his commitments,” MDA said.

MDA said that it feels that this conduct “is a breach of its members’ code of ethics, shows lack of seriousness and gives a bad name to all developers.

“The association is striving as much as it can to ensure that its members act in a serious and professional way, and is not going to tolerate those who, through such conduct, give a bad impression on all developers in general.”

MDA concluded by saying that “if these circumstances persist, it would have no option but to publish the names of these developers so that the public and those intending to purchase a property would be informed of this misconduct.”
