Hi, yes we are releaved - it is not the right time for us to continue with purchase. We had hoped to have the apartment some 18 months ago! Still the experience was good and we made visits to spain for pleasure due to the ongoing purchase at the time.

We will still be going out to spain - and the complex , but will be hiring apartment(s) at the moment! So, if anyone has 2 or 3 bedroom apartment on complex with large double bed (we hired last time and the double bed was so small - I think it must have been either 4ft or 4ft6" bed!) we would love to hear from you.

Regards

Hi, finally got refund of deposit on Phase 4 Block 6! It has taken 1 year since we last requested pull out of purchase due to delay. We had refund of deposit plus interest. The good thing is the bank rates are in favour at the moment as it takes less euros to transfer to sterling! .... but obviously not the other way and purchasing property overseas takes more!

We used Lawyers of Spain in Fungerola (dont think thats spelt right!) and travelex to transfer money.

Best wishes to those seeking pull out of contracts and those going ahead with purchase - either way is a win situation for the choice made.

thanks for info Sef. Yes we remortgaged and when lawyer gets money back we will ask to transfer funds direct to UK bank - and then as yourself pay back to mortgage!

SEF: Hi, I notice from your response below Sef that you have had refund - we are still waiting but hopeful. How did you transfer money out of Spain and back into UK Bank account? We are worried if large amount of money appears in bank account - UK tax man might want chunk as they may see as capital gains .......?????? even though it isn't ......

Your thoughts appreciated .....
