I have read this thread with great interest being an avid golfer myself although like most of us working not enough time to actually play.

What would you all considered a fair annual membership fee to be.

Knew I had it...

Buyers at the Trampolin Hills residential golf development in Campos del Rio could suffer “massive losses” as a result of planning irregularities at the resort, a judge has warned.

In a statement on the 12th May, reported in Murcia’s regional paper ‘La verdad’, judge José Miñarro García said properties at Trampolin Hills “appear to have been sold without appropriate administrative licences.” The developer admits that most of the resorts 2,575 properties have already been sold.

The judge condemned the municipal government, run by the socialist party, for turning a blind eye whilst hundreds of properties were sold without all the appropriate planning permissions.

In a little bit of good news for owners at Trampolin Hills, he also stressed that the town hall would have to compensate buyers for any losses resulting from a purchase of illegal property at the resort, not far from the city of Murcia.

“If buyers suffer massive losses, which is hypothetically possible, then the town hall, having allowed the construction and well publicised sale of properties without appropriate planning permission, is clearly responsible for damages,” Miñarro is reported to have ruled.

The ruling is a result of legal action taken by the opposition Popular Party (PP) against the Socialist-run local government, whom they accuse of changing the urban plan for Trampolin Hills without the support of the town council, as required by law. Some socialists are reported to have private business interests in the resort.

The judge also ruled that opposition PP have right to debate and vote on planning decisions relating to Trampolin Hills, and demand a halt to all works until the project has all pertinent permissions.

The judge said this would help to prevent a situation in which demolishing illegal properties at Trampolin Hills was ‘socially and economically’ unviable.

Trampolin Hills has been marketed heavily to British buyers, offering estate agents commissions of close to 20%.

Hi All

Well have to say I'm not at all confident that we'll receive anything but like many others have already appointed lawyer who ha salso registered me as a debtor.

Apart from recourse from TH themselves I still do remember a judge commenting that as the council were fully aware that TH were selling properties on land for which there was no planning approved that the council were also culpable and might be required to contribute to cover any loss by buyers. I think I've got a copy of the article somewhere. Does anyone elkse remember this.

If this reads the way it sounds this means that we have reached the end of this particular road and now need to move to legal action against Trampolin Hills and the Town Hall. Or am I reading this wrong?

We seem to be talking here as if all is lost.

Yet we have still the pottential of a positive vote and authorisation to build. Have to say whilst not giving the go ahead in full the latest updates have been the most positive for a long long while. So let's not yet give up although agree we must be getting close to the end on this and 15th Jan still seems a date by which we are going to know definitely one way or the other which way this will turn.

As far as building we have to remember that the project is pretty much sold (our money testifies to that) so bulding is not dependant upon trying to find buyers we're already bought in. On a positive note the downturn in the building industry in Spain of course leads to keener prcing by suppliers to be part of any large projects.

So we have a little bit longer to hold our nerves before we reach a final conclusion to take legal action or not. Although we need some very positive moves by the council & GT.
