We are also cancelling as we have bought another property in Albir.We have virtually written off the money we have already paid to Dick Turpin/Robert Maxwell/Palmera (delete the applicable,although they are all the same).My parents live in Spain and one of their friends is a lawyer who will hopefully point us in the right direction.We would gladly accept half our money back as 50% would be a great deal more than nothing,although this feels like a game of Russian roulette at the moment.

Hopefully somebody out there will take the lead towards a successful conclusion as there are a lot of strong willed Amarionairs out there,and although I do not post on here too often,we really appreciate all the persistant efforts of all those who are emailing and calling both Urbasa and Palmera.This could yet work out for us all.Here's hoping.

Best of luck to us all.

Hi all fellow sufferers.I am new on this site, but you can count us in with any legal action ,although I have a feeling this will be pointless and more money down the drain.The bottom line is that both Palmera and Urbasa are totally full of crap and the finances to proceed with the build simply aren't there.Unfortunately the list of excuses just goes on and on without any credibility to any of the reasons they always come out with.I feel our chances are no better than 50/50 but at least I suppose that gives us some hope.Numerous builders are going under in Spain and sinking without trace and without any consideration for any purchasers.My parents live in Spain and have done so for some time and they are currently marketing their own property, only to be told that the housing market is totally flat and many builders and estate agents are going bust at a frightening rate.If we were Spanish ,any bank guarantee would more than likely carry some weight, but as Brits the laws change to suit the locals.This is not fantasy, this is fact and I have this information from my parents who were told this through a Spanish friend of theirs with interest in property.It really is just a case of sit and wait as trying to put pressure on the Spanish is a total waste of time as they always do exactly what they want to do and not to suit others.Palmera have been the biggest load of idiots in all this as they have told more lies thay anybody, and are more unreliable , untrustworthy and deceitful than anyone I have ever dealt with.I have numerous family members who have bought in Spain recently and all what has happened is beyond belief to all of them, although not totally unheard of.We are like everyone else in keeping our fingers crossed and hopefully we may eventually receive some news.It would almost be better to know for definite that the whole thing is off, because then at least we can sink our finances to something else as they are still lots of bargains to be had in the current market, although we would be against buying off plan again.Best of luck to all concerned .You never know, it may just work out for us all.

Regards

Boo (Andy and Nicki from Leeds)
