Cheesed off

 Hi all who have invested in El Patio.

I've just found this site and am very happy as was feeling a little lost to the next steps as really don't want to complete on this pile of ****!

i have bought a penthouse and was sold the dream of a great finish, lots of restaurants, bridge to walk over the motorway and the Hyatt hotel.

I paid the final deposit on September 2006 and was told it would be complete in 2007

It is now January 2009 and the penthouse is not a place i want to live and would be embarrassed to invite friends to use the property!

Could you please send me Maria's contact details so i can get cracking!

all the best and we will get through this problem with our deposits back whether its in 2009 or 2010 

Cheers

just to advise after many  years and an appeal, the insurance company who provided the bank guarantee at dona julia, have returned the funds to the court, so i will be reimbursed shorly

whilst i still dont understand spanish law which relates to this issue, i believe that because i was one of the first who committed to the development [dec 2005], sufficient time had passed within my contract [ the developer had 24 months to complete, and a further 12 months leeway] prior to the licence for occupation granted on 1st may 2009[ if i remember correctly]

thus i would recommend to any of you in a similar position who arent pursing a claim to take legal advice, and hopefully the courts will rule in your favour.

i have used martinez echevarria in puerta banus as lawyers, who have a specialised litigation department  

if i can be of any assistance, please contact me

Congratulations :-)

We too have won our initial court case but are waiting for the appeal. The fact that you are eventually getting your money returned gives me hope.
