Hi, I am writing this with a view to see if anyone can help me. We bought a small place quite sometime ago for family holidays, which failed to get built on time and decided to use the clause in the contract to get my money back. The developer did not want to play ball, so I appointed a Spanish solicitor in Torrevieja. We had the court case and in 2007 we won the court case and the developer was to pay me around €90,000 which was my payments made and interest. the solicitor had his costs on top. To date I have not received a penny and have tried my best to get my solicitor to do more, we placed attachments on 3 properties but still nothing. I am at the end of my tether as we moved back to the UK and are trying to live a normal family life, but as I borrowed the money on my mortgage, I am paying for it and would like to clear my debt.

My solicitor tells me that they can do no more unless I pay a further €5,000 which I do not have!

Can anyone give me any suggestions as I feel totally let down and do not know what options I have? 

any advise help wopuld be very much appreciated.

I also 'won' my case in 2007 but have not received my monies back.  Many of us are in the same boat unfortunately.

Has your lawyer told you exactly what this E5,000 is for?  Have you paid for your 'attachments' (I presume embargoes) to be registered?  If so, maybe this is a figure for survey/s which need to be carried out on the embargoed properties before they can go to auction.
