Got our money back!!!

Hi all!!! Today we got our money back!!!

Me and my husband bought 2 years ago an apartment off-plan in Duquesa (near Marbella) and some months ago the developer told us that our apartment was going to be delayed, by another year!

As you can imagine we were a bit annoyed and after talking to our family we decided to pull out. 

Good luck and all the best!!!

That is great news.

Always good hear when someone gets their money back when the delay is too long

Not all developers are late and of course there are new ready now properties available but like all purchase in EU you have to be selective

This applies in CDS but if you are still interested why not look at Costa Blanca Calida or Almeria....near Aguilas you can get a nice villa for the money you would  pay for an apartment in CDS

Eg 2 bed 2 bath villa in 400m2 plot from 178.000 € about 25 mins inland but still close to all facilities

Or 2 bed apartment close to the coast from 160.000 €   

It really depends on the developer - there are good and bad everywhere. Marbella has been more highlighted than Almeria as it is the most famous town in Spain for foreigners.

If you look around you will find many horror stories in Almeria and Murcia as well - also the famous land grab situation is not in the South but is in Valencia region.

Marbella inland also has cheaper properties but really it depends where you want to be and what sort of lifestyle you want.

Tish here with my cynical hat on!!!!!!  The post from Marrianne Cowan was posted on other forums,(first time posts  )twice in one case. I'm sceptical because the law firm she mentions is in the number one spot on the "bad" lawyer list from the  significant number of people that I know who are now in dire predicaments, or who were in dire predicaments until they changed lawyers.  M-E do not have a good reputation even though they are perhaps the biggest company in Marbella. (Puerto Banus). I wonder if someone is  self promoting?

If Marianne Cowan really has got her money back  through this company then well done. You are in the minority.

Seems  my "cynical" hat was right. MC's posts has been deleted from another forum as self promoting spam mail!!!!

Someone posted this in response to MC's post:

is this for real or is it spam?
I googled martinezechevarria and this message has appeared on numerous boards today. each time this is the first and only post by this member.

I smell a rat.

Tish,

Its Marianne here. Yes its for real. I was so happy when they called me that I told them I would do my best to bring them more clients and that's what I did.

I didn't know that I could get all my money (plus interests) back. Well, my job is done and now I am coming back to plan my holidays with Paul.

Sorry for the missunderstanding.

Marianne Cowan

Tish , if you feel like this (& I'm not saying it's not "a self promoting post" as I don't know) why don't you click on the "spam post ?"Here, at the bottom of each post >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Spam post? If so please click here to report it & let Justin decide on any necessary action.

It then keeps everything more friendly when it's done anonymously. Justin has asked us to report this way.

Hi Tish

 I believe they are read promptly &, IF Justin wishes, it IS removed promptly. (I have first hand knowledge of this &, as it's anonymous, it makes for a more pleasant forum rather than us putting our name publically to a complaint, which I prefer not to.) Maybe Justin has decided he wants this left in. Anyway we are bumping this thread up which maybe we shouldn't be doing.

Gotta shoot, dentist calling, ooeerrrrrrr.........
