Hi

My husband and I bought in 2007, no Life Insurance included in mortgage about 2 years later the Bank added life insurance, we were not consulted, needless to say we contacted them but were told we had to have it, we were naive but at the time the cost was not too high, over the years it went up and up, until 2012 when it was abt 1000 euros, visits to the bank / emails ignored etc, so eventually I went to Maria's firm, having seen some of her other advice on the forum.

I had to provide all my mortgage documentation etc and once they had reviewed for a fee which was extremely fair they got the Bank to agree to remove completely the Life Insurance, we were more than adequately covered in the UK with Insurance so did not ever need this rip off... the Bank even had the cheek in the desparation to keep us paying to offer to reduce the fee for reduced life insurance, when in reality we never had any legal requirement to have it in the first place.

I realise this may noy help someone taking a mortgage now, but for those like us who bought several years ago when it was not normally compulsary to have Life Insurance, challenge them but do via a good solicitor if we had gone to Maria intially we could have saved a few thousand euros...

I have used Moneycorp for several years, rates have been reasonable and the service has been very good.

They do what they say they will do and certainly helped us with the recent Bankia fiasco.

Hi

This is my first post and I was wondering if anyone else had problems with a leaking roof, belive the apartment block was known as Palaciosmar Phase V when built in 2006, we've been to the builder who duly sent someone to look and promised they would fix... We are back in UK and emails etc being ignored, reading this forum that does not suprise us.

Contacted the Community Management to see if they knew of any other problems, as we heard that the lift shaft area had been leaking and we wanted to know if it had been fixed, but in typical fashion they are ignoring us as well, although we rarely use the apartment we are fully paid up members of the community so expected some response.

Our president is Spanish with no English and we don't speak any Spanish so all a little difficult.

So if anyone else has the same problem and managed to get it sorted I would welcome your advice.

kind regards

Jackie
