Thanks all.  All seems to be resolved amicably.  Agents and solicitors apologized  for inconvenience caused.   Restores our  faith in human nature.  Thanks all for your help, and support

There has been some movement this morning, We have just heard from solicitors telling me electricity will me connected today and we should sign contracts tomorrow.   "De ja vu", We have had it all before.  My husband and I have no choice but to wait

There is some porkies and that is what really worries us.  First we were told by the agent that electricity needed to be simply reconnected.  Then we were told that the  re-wiring was needed and therefore have to be turned on by Sellviana Endesa.  Our bone of contention was that the balance of the purchase price was paid because we were told the Endesa will visit on a Friday and we will sign contracts and get the keys on the following Monday.  That was over 2 weeks ago, if we had known that the Endesa visit will take this long we will not have paid the balance of the purchase price.  All we want is for them to keep the deposit and we hold on to the balance of the purchase price until the electrivity has been turned on and we can sign contracts.  Instead, they are not returning our calls, or replying to emails.  Ideally we want to take legal option available to recover our money and not resort to violent. 

You are correct Justin, we dont have a purchase contract in palce, all we have are emails from the agent.  Well it looks like they have pulled a fast one on us, but not for long (I hope).
