Thank you very much for your comments, very interesting. Just as a background we previously had an apartment that we bought in Los Alto of plan so we do understand all the legal formalities and not compleely naive i.e. Habitation Certificate etc and things could not have worked out better. Our apartment had winding stairs and we had the third floor and solarium so as we were getting older we thought a bungalow would be the best option so we sold the apartment. The villa was advertised in an Estate Agents called Benneke and we were advised that their legal team had checked it out thoroughy and everything was ok. The villas were partly built and we reserved one. This was in the Murcia region, lovely and quiet. We paid our money as outlined in our contract and of course have absolute proof of these pyment. Such a long story but as the land was rustic, it should never have been built on. Other residents who bought on the same site "La Montana" have either walked away or died and a new owner/promoter has advertised them with various agents and sold some on. Every time we saw them advertised, we would call the agents and sometimes they would take them down. I think our lawyers were definitey intimidated by the "new owners" and were not prepared to help us. We cannot sell them as we do not own the land. I could go on and on the the bottom line is, we have paid all our money and have nothinng in return. I struggle with the unfairness of the sitution and how this can be allowed to happen. There, I have got this off my chest - I always believe that what goes round, comes round, let hope so.
