Well done Will! It's been a long haul for you just the last hundred yards now and it will all be behind you.

It was the insurance company that paid us out in the end. I couldn't face a battle with Priensure and it all seems a long time ago now.

I still regret not having my apartment but then read about the mysery some are still having with regard to deposits, license of occupation etc. Then I think oh well maybe I'm best off out of it.

Anyway congratulations on your success.

Oh No! I still enjoy reading your comments and keeping in touch. (And thinking of what might have been!)

Thanks Tracy may well take you up on that. I will definitely be back at some point for a look around.

Hi Will,

It came from the insurance company via the Bank guarantee. We could have have pursued priensuir for the additional 10% but that could have taken years through the courts with no guarantee of winning. (We heard that judges are now treating developers favorably through this credit crunch!) So we settled for the easier option and that decision was made even easier by the favourable exchange rate.

At last my deposit has been returned and is safe and sound in my UK account. I have mixed feelings, I am gutted that I didn't purchase my dream apartment in Arenal Duquesa. On the other hand I am relieved to be out of it as my block STILL doesn't have a License of First Occupation. It also concerns me that reading on this forum that running costs appear to be escalating.

I may well take another look at the development some time in the future when things have settled down. In the meantime to all those that have completed carry on enjoying it. If completion had been when it was supposed to have been I would have been one of you! Oh well that's life.
