Thanks David & Maria

I will check out Irwin Mitchell - I would like to know what the bad experience was? Does anyone here know anything good or bad from personal experience about them or other UK firms?

It's fair to say the whole spanish legal system appears to be a complete farce and heavily biased againgst UK citizens!

I was wondering if anyone else had lost court cases / appeal cases in Spain that they truly believe they should have won? I believe this has happened to me with Judges / Developers etc who may be in bed together or that who just are plain unjust.

What can we do... is there another level... European Court? Does anyone have any experience of this?

Does anyone also know any good lawyers in UK that can work on my behalf on understanding the Spanish / EU court system?

Thanks in advance.

I bought three investment properties in Spain and I have 70% mortgages on all three. Two are with Solbank and the other is with another bank (Caja Rural or Bancaja)

I now find out that the properties have never had a licence so I am looking to have to sell at 50% of purchase price (negative equity). Should I have been given mortgages in the first place for places with no licences?

Can I just hand the keys back and not have any come back?

Can I claim my deposit back from somewhere?

I understand from a times newspaper article that Patrick Cassidy, and his wife, Joy handed back the keys to the bank because of what appeared to have been irregularities in the way he was sold the mortgage.

Any help much apreciated.
