In Morocco, a court-ordered seizure has been carried out on apartments in the long-delayed 'Nessma' housing project, according to the local section of the Justice and Development Party (PJD). The party stated that the seizure was initiated on behalf of a banking institution, further complicating the fate of buyers who have been waiting for their homes since 2009.
The 'Nessma' project, located in the region, has been stalled for over 15 years, leaving hundreds of families without the apartments they paid for. The PJD's local branch highlighted that the legal action adds a new layer of uncertainty for the affected buyers, who have already faced years of delays and broken promises.
This development raises serious questions about the protection of homebuyers in Morocco, particularly in cases where developers default and banks move to recover debts. Legal experts suggest that buyers may need to pursue claims through the courts to assert their rights, but the process is often lengthy and complex.
As of August 2026, no official statement has been released by the bank or the developer regarding the seizure. The PJD has called on authorities to intervene and find a solution that safeguards the interests of the buyers.
