Dispute with Atlas, Aroca and builder in regards to lack of deeds

My blog is about the clients of Atlas international who have bought and paid in full and still have no deeds for their spanish property. This includes Aroca and the builders who have built the properties concerned.

Have you still not received your deeds and bought through Atlas????

Hi,

I hope someone can help me. My mum and i bought an apartment in la murada, orihuela, 3 years ago in cash and in full through atlas/aroca and the builder servicios y proyectos mojica.s.l and have not received our deeds...surprise surprise!!!!! All the other atlas customers who live on our urbanisation have yet to receive their deeds. We have just found out the seriousness of our case and went to atlas who denied all responsibility and we managed to get our contract of compravenda from aroca with our solicitor and the power of attorney from aroca which we signed so that aroca could sign for our deeds whilst we were still living in the UK at the time. However, we have appointed a new solicitor in albatera to start legal proceedings against the builder as it seems that atlas blame aroca and aroca blame our builder, SPM.SL, as SPM have a mortgage on our property even though they have received our cash payment in full. I have no idea what has gone on as yet as have only started proceedings against the builder and would like anyone in the same or similar situation to contact me as i am willing to take this as far as it goes.... albeit, with not many more life savings left but will do anything and everything physically possible that we take this to the highest attention of the authorities! i look forward to all your replies!!!!

Hi there

I really feel for you both & it seems it's not unusual for this to happen. I see you've written this post in a few threads on the main forum & are getting messages there.

I Googled for Eye On Spain's development forum for La Murada, to see if there were others discussing it in there so you could join in but it seems there's no one registered with it, look http://www.eyeonspain.com/ViewDevNo.aspx?dev=L253

All I can add is good luck.

Hi
I Know what I talk about it, Atlas, Aroca and Builder are responsible about it happen to you and my suggestion is to claim to all of them. The main responsability is from the builder but Atlas sold this property to you and get commision for that and if I'm not wrong it is responsability of the seller to check that the product that they sell are legal, ATLAS never check all the properties that they offer in publicity so it is a fraud to sale properties no legal.
I think that you should tell to your solicitor to claim against both of them in two ways:in Spain is through "Civil" and through "Penal"

Best Luck
