HI

I am so sorry you are all having to go through the courts to try to get your money back, what a nightmare!

It makes us appreciate how lucky we were!

We are now frightened of buying in Spain and are moving there in Janauary, to rented accomodation, as we dont feel we could trust the Spanish Property market at the moment.

 

I hope you all get your money back in full & can put the dream that turned into a night mare behind you!

Bye

Jill

Hi Sharon

We took the risk of taking our solicitors advice and cancelling the contract with the builder in August 07 & signing a new one which our solicitor said would stand up in court, more than if we remained on the original contract, due to the builder having applied for the Habitation licence in July 06, so not his fault that there was a delay, and he could end up being made bankrupt if the delay continued.

We could not find any bank guarantee, although we were advised there was one in place and no one on this website sent me a copy of theirs.

We were therefore unsure if we would get any of the money back so took our solicitors advice.

The builder has however paid the first 2 instalments, the last one is late, but according to our new contract he was to pay us before (or on) sale of the apartment if sold before the payment due date.

Hope we all get all our money back!

Bye for now

Jill

Hi

 

We are still awaiting our final payment, but was not subject to sale, although, if property sold before final payment date we were to be paid then!

We have received 2 of 3 payments so far

 

Bye for now

Hi

We actually went to Spain with the money to complete in November 2006, just as the lack of habitation & the contaminated Snail problem arose

We declined to complete because of this

Our solicitor advised us to agree to hand the apartment back to the builder with a new contract to repay us all money paid to him by us, we signed this contract end of Aug 2007.

Due to the delay not being the builders fault as he had applied for the habuitation license in July 06 we were worried about whether we would get our money back or not? Our solicitor advised us we would have more chance of getting all our money back with a watertight contract detailing the repayment terms even if we ended up taking him to court.

The first payment was paid at signature, 2nd almost on time & 3rd is due now
