Hi, I'm new to this but site came highly recommended. I like many others have paid a deposit on a property in Hondon de los Frailes, should have been finished in May with 3 month clause. Bank guarantee but is it worth a light in the current financial climate? Quite despondent as sat on rest of cash but not quite enough to do anything with (property wise, that is!) Any hope?

Are they the apartments around the back of the village on theright hand side as you are going out of the village towards Barinas?
I think they have other developments,have you considered swapping or cashing in your bank guarantee.....
If you also check out the thread "on a brighter note....." there may be another option for you.

Thanks, Georgia. There are alsorts of horror stories out there, any idea how long it takes to get the money back under bank guarantee? And yes that is the development. Michelle D

It can be quite quick it can take an age or never happen at all.
My advice would be to get a decent lawyer and if you are not happy with the build time or the development then ask them to look into envoking your guaantee.
Have they stopped building or are they just behind schedule?

They haven't done any work on the development since May, althought the apartment is "finished", they haven't even started with the mains electric or the communal areas & the second block has about 3 months work on it. People have pulled out because the developers are out of contract & even the banks stopped funding it. Michelle D

Its probably time to seek the advice of a decent lawyer then.
Best of luck.

OC-TEC have filed for bankruptcy so it looks like the money has gone completely!

Roy,
we have managed to find a builder of a property in Formentera del Segura we had previously viewed who negotiated a good price that included the all the credit from OC-TEC depending on what he can retrieve but I suspect that it won't be much, if anything!
I have no idea how the building will be finished or by whom but I am interested - it's a good development and what work has been completed is of good quality.
I hope you can retrieve your money or at least do what we did & at least get something out of it.
Regards,
Daisy
