Hi,

I'm writing on behalf of my in-laws who are trying to recover their deposit for a Phase 4 apartment.  Basically, I would like to put them in touch with anyone who has successfully recovered their deposit from Prienesur.

For info, the in-laws are taking Prienesur to court (in Feb 2011) on the basis that the promises made regarding golf course, club house etc did not/do not meet the description provided by Arenal 2000 when they paid their deposit.  The challenge back from Prienesur is that the golf course etc was completed but it is the 'Arenal Golf Community' who have let it go into disrepair.

It would be beneficial if my in-laws could discuss this matter with somebody who has already successfully made a recovery of their deposit.

Please feel free to PM me.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Neutral,

Thanks for your reply. 

First of all the lawyer has requested a one-off fee of 6000 Euros that will cover all costs (I have asked my Father-in-law to check that this is what is seems or will there be more costs at a later date).  The lawyer has also asked that he provides all the documents he received when he paid the deposit i.e. what the apartment will contain, plus also what would be built on the complex e.g swimming pools, tennis courts, club house etc. 

After reading the comments on these pages regarding the licences I have advised him to look into this before taking the matter further.  He is aware that the licence has been issued, although he has not seen a copy (although I do not know if you would anyway).

I joined this site some time ago on behalf of my father-in-law who was purchasing in Phase 4 (Block 1 I think). 

On his last visit at the end of June, he made the decision that he no longer wanted the property primarily due to the general state of the area (rubbish strewn everywhere, burned out car, general disrepair, lack of a golf course etc), but also due to the fact that the apartment is now 2.5 years overdue.  He has started legal action via Lawyers of Spain to recover his initial deposit.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone else currently trying to recoup monies from the Construction company to compare notes etc.

Thanks,

Mike
