Just to let people know that it is possible to win Court cases in Spain..... and to get your money back!!!

Although I was in a slightly different boat to most ( I purchases off of a private individual, not direct fron Aifos) I didnt really know that it made any differance to where I stood, simpley as my Estate agent and Lawyer were telling me that I had to claim through Aifos.

This was incorrect! after contacting 'Lawbirds' They informed me that on my paperwork that once the property has been sold to an indevidual they become responsible for the development, so when they sold it to me, it was them who took over all responsibilities! I was never informed of this by my old Lawyer (hmmnnn!!!) who didnt really seem to be playing ball with me.

But after contacting 'Lawbirds' they streight away informed me of my position, there fee's and that they would happily take the case on, this was September 2007.

Today after nearly three years (mainly down to the Spanish Legal system) I have just had it confirmed that the Cheque has cleared in my bank account!!!

All I ever wanted was my investment back (half the payments of a penthouse=allot!) and although I could have pushed through the courts for lost interest and so on, I as many of us just wanted out of the whole thing!!! in total 8 years of stress and hell.

So anyone who bought not direct from aifos, for example a 3rd party as all the end penthouses were sold out, should contact a good spanish Lawyer, not there own as they have probably been giving you duff advise. Remember you wouldnt be claiming from Aifos ( gone bust) so you have a very good chance of retrieving your funds back.

All the best to everyone who has helped with information on the development, kept this forum (and at times lifeline) going over the years and good luck!!

and to the People who called me DOOM, contacted me saying I was posting false information and lies, I really hope your now Paying for it!!!

Everyone else, thaks & good luck!!!!

Aifos have applied to the Court for Bankruptcy, the courts have to agree and it could take several months, strange how it takes years to try and get money back from them, but only months to declaire themselves bankrupt!! Anyone with cases going through good luck!!!

I actually was talking with Aifos in London about 2 years ago about aircon, as its not included. They said to fax them all my details and the property I was buying and they would fax  it on to Malaga and then a price would be sorted, as I thought it would be better and cheaper to have it installed with the electrics or whenever. But as with Aifos they never replyed and the London office is gone.  On what you get you can down load a PDF file from Aifos.com. Some of the details below-

Exterior- The precinct is completely enclosed and private (So private nobody can get in still!!!!)
                 Landscaped Gardens and pool (well not quite a matured garden and pool!!!!!  what a joke)

Foundation and structures- Half still not built due to no licence

Roofs- well they go on finished structures!!!

Airconditioning- fully installed in apartments hotel (this has been deleted from the latest PDF but on the early pre 2005 ones it was on them) When I spoke to Aifos this was for Hotel appartments and not ours!!!!!!

Kitchens- The kitchen will be fully installed and will come with an oven, hood and a ceramic hob (yes oven, hob and extractor, then the cheepest units on the planet, and a 60's style water heater which if you are planning to rent the property will have to be replaced as rental companies class them as dangerous!!!)

If you want to see an appartment when its technically finished look down the photo's of  Angel de Miraflores which now in June 2008 is what we would all expect on completion with our development, but as this is Also an Aifos development the keys were handed over in January 2006 (whole development not just 4 blocks) and look at the photo's of what you get, just wires out the ceiling and the quality kitchen. Also read the threads its all the same, people waiting for years for a poor quality appartment then just buying them and making the most of a bad deal, but two years on they look nice, but how can ours when the second part wont even have been built!!!??!!   

P.S the Angel appartments are almost identical inside as the hipodrommo appartments, Thanks

Hi John, I found it on

 http://www.aifos.com/EN/promociones/inmueble/listado.cfm?pagina=1&inm_pagina=10

if still no luck, search developments-malaga-mijas-hipodromo- then no of bedrooms 0

if still no luck they are all sold out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to go through a few pages as there is alot listed, I stated it was a joke by the comment, also I knew that the parking and storage was extra, it was about a year ago that a thread said about all getting together and to ask Aifos about chucking in the parking or aircon (yes also not included in price) as they were running a little over the time scale by about 5 years!!!!!!
  As with all these threads everyone just ignores them, us Brits do seem happy to let things just pass by,

Also you say if they are trying to sell the parking they are moving things on? well they are also selling appartments in Estribo block, which hasnt been build, has no permittion to be build but is still being sold!!!!!!

Did it look like there was any advance on a finished road to the completed blocks last time you were down?


Cheers Dom
