We used ELS and Patracia was our solicitor.  Very good.  Far better than other sols mentioned on this site.  But you do have to keep on top of the project, otherwise you will go to the bottom of the pile.

We got all our deposit back plus 6%.  Not sure if this is still the deal.  I would think your solicitor is charging the 2500.  It is all so frustrating, felt to us at the time that sols, developers and anyone and everyone could set whatever rules they liked and we had to follow them.

We cancelled our contract  beginning of August, went to spain to visit site and decided to cancel.  The bank draft arrived beginning of October and took 9 weeks to clear.  You have to make sure you have signed all the documents, this cannot all be done by power of attorney.  Your sols should send a cancellation document.  it is all a bit hit and miss.  We were also told that if we did not have confirmation of our cancellation before the licence was obtained we would have to complete. 

 

good luck!

We have just had our monies go in the bank.  We were sent a draft and it has taken 8 weeks for it to clear through the spanish system.  So when you do cancel get the money wired.  We were not given a choice at the time.  We feel very relieved we cancelled.

We also bought right at the beginning off plan for 170 plus costs.  And we also got a super duper valuation about 12 months ago.  But after talking with other agents in the area we realised this wasnt a true reflection of its actual value.

We were given 6% on the total of our deposit held, not a compounded 6%.  But we were happy to just get our monies back.

Too many problems on this site, as Alan says, is this an indication of the future of the site.

We went to the site in August and got chased off by 'Canon'.   We were given no info as per everyone else and refused entry to the site.  We were told they would call the police if we took photos.  Subsequent to our visit all sorts of other problems have arisen with the road etc.  This gave us a very bad feeling about the whole project.  And we subsequently cancelled.  We received our monies back today.  What a relief.    It was a sad decision, but the right one.  We have spent 4 years waiting on this to be completed and for 3 or those no info whatsoever.    I truely hope that all of you who are going the distance have a very happy outcome.  We lost confidence in the whole project.  We were just going to use the apartment for holiday breaks.  So it wasnt a life changing event.  If you are going to invest a lifes hard works worth of money in this, go check out the site very carefully and  be 100% sure this is right for you.

The Disney theme park is a myth.  A possible holiday camp for kids.  On Radio 4 last week a reporter had also been checking this out and also declared it a myth, one especially given by

an agent with bill boards all over the area.  With his big smiley face on them.

We were there on the day they were changing flags!  That was the only thing going on, apart from chasing us off.

It will have to be given a licence in the end.  Just make sure you're not all here this time next year waiting for it, or driving yourselves mad that the site is unbearable due to all the roadworks etc going on.  Sometimes you just have to take the emotion out of a situation and make the right decision.   Thats what we found ourselves doing, was pretty hard unpacking all the boxes full of stuff we had bought for the flat.  And having to explain to the childrent who we had taken on several visits to see it progressing.  Well it never actually progressed, we just visited!

Good Luck Everyone

Elaine
