Doug,

As discussed by email we are definately interested in pursuing this action as we have just found out that our Estate Agents have now dissapeared from Spain too!  After no replies from email for a few weeks we decided to ride out to their offices and they have apparantly left Spain! Mum & Dad are going to try to get over to the builders offices soon so I will let you know if there is any update from that.

We purchased an Isabella  villa in April 06 and have been tracking progress through my parents who live near Totana we were obviously concerned to hear from our Estate Agent that all development had been stopped on the site pending investigation into all new and existing building developments in the area. I know this happens alot in Spain but it is obviously worrying when you have invested alot of money.

Mum & Dad went out to the site yesterday (28th September) to check it out and it is indeed all closed up.  There is no building work happening in the entire valley all the sites are closed.  The Grupo Location offices in Zurgena are also closed up.

Our estate agents are very helpful so I asked them several questions today and got the following response.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today my parents visited the  Los Llanos Del Peral  site and that of Lemon Tree Island up the road as you told me all work has been suspended.  

 

 The Grupo Location office in Zurgena  was closed up and appears to be unoccupied. At least two articles appear in the local Paper “The Almeria Messenger” week 15^th Sept to 22^nd Sept. 2006 concerning illegal building and corruption in local councils in the Albox area including the resignation of the Councillor Jose Wandosell responsible for Town Planning.

 

In view of this I would ask the following questions:

 

1. Does Grupo Location have a Bank Guarantee as required by Spanish Law to cover my Deposits? If so could you please fax or e-mail me a copy.
2. Does this development have legal status to proceed?
3. If the future of this development is in doubt and it is ruled illegal will my deposit be returned in full?

4.   Is Grupo Location still trading and if so from what location?

Hi Michelle, I've fowarded your email onto Grupo and spoke to them this morning regarding your concerns, I've also reminded them about the reciept that we requested.

I know you will have concern's, and I am not trying to bull you, however in Spain small town politics are crazy, Polaris world suffered the same problem in Alhama and after a few months they are selling again after removing all their flags, office staff etc, Massa at Camposol suffered the same fate and none of us had bank guarantees from them, so it can be common.

When I recieve there reply I will foward the info onto you, if I don't have it by next Tuesday I will hound them again, their main office in Roquettes is functioning as normal.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I hear anything else then I will of course post it on the site  and if anyone knows or finds out anymore then please let me know.

Thanks

Michelle
