I know this an old thread but I cannot find anywhere else current relating to El Patio Dona Julia so here goes:

We put deposits on 2 units in El Patio in 2014 with agent Darren from Andalucian Dream Homes, we were told we had bank guarantee and if anything went wrong we could be assured we would get our deposits fully refunded.. we did 10 years later!! After many years of phonecalls, emails, trips,  work, tears and arguments with useless if not corrupt Lawyers of Spain (LOS) we almost gave up.  I received an email from another purchaser in the same development in Feb 2012 and it was the turning point for us when he told me he had received notification of a getting his funds returned and the lawyers he used were Costa Luz Lawyers based in Algeciras (Cadiz). 

It was a bit of work changing from LOS to Costa Luz we had to go to a Notary and get paperwork from LOS to give to Maria and her team to become our legal reps, from that day we saw the light at the end of the tunnel.  The process took time but I must say Maria and her team at Costa Luz Lawyers have been so amazing, always professional and helpful they got on with the job and kept me informed.  We received some of our money back in Feb 2014 and the remainder (2nd dep) in August 2014 so we are thrilled!  Maria and Costa Luz restored our faith in Spain, we found it hard to trust another lawyer after our experience but if you are in a situation like this I would say call Maria now there are still people you can trust in business in Spain.

I was never summoned to complete on this development, when I asked to view the property in 2009 (giving one month's notice of intention to snag list the unit) neither my solicitor (LOS), the bank whom I was told seized the property from the developer or the Eve Marina onsite office could provide me with a key.  A security guard was on the grounds but would not permit me to enter the grounds.  I believe the FOL was granted fraudulently as the units did not appear fit for occupation at the time of granting. 

Did anyone receive a formal request to complete and transfer funds?

LOS are not worth talking about, at best they are incompetent, at worst well you can guess!  I applied to the courts as a creditor myself, you do not need a solicitor for this but deadline is passed now anyway, it was December 2009.

I dont predict a favourable result from Eve Marina going into receivership as we will be listed as secondary creditors, banks etc will be given precedence.  If anyone has any more information, please post as everyone seems to have a different story.
