Hi - I speak Spanish (although I am very rusty) and I reckon the google translation makes more sense.  Windows is a brand name and should stay the same, rather than be translated to ventana.  Also, if I were reading "Es un software del S.A", I'm not sure I would understand it.

Hope this helps!

Hi - I paid for the snagging e-book today using paypal but didn't get directed to a download page.  Anyone got any ideas on how I should be getting it?  Does it come separately by e-mail?  I need it by Saturday am!!  Thanks

Thanks for the advice.  After several e-mails, we're still no further and the solicitor is now saying that we owe them the remaining money because most of the work has been done - it appears they are playing games with us so that we'll settle for the 500 euros!  We definitely haven't asked them to do anything out of the ordinary, in fact we hardly heard from them.

We have definitely passed a point of no return in our relationship with them and I don't wish to pay them another euro.  I understand that threatening the authorities doesn't mean much in Spain, especially when they have our documents and they know we're getting close to completion.

The only positive I can take from this is that they clearly aren't an ethical law firm and I shouldn't be trusting them with my hard earned euros.

Hi -

We are in the process of changing lawyer as we stupidly went with the one suggested by the estate agent.  So far we have paid half of their fee up front and for this they appear to have sorted the initial contract, a smaller additional arrangement for a subsequent garage space in the apartment block and arranged nie for both of us. When we instructued them of our desire to move lawyers they asked us to pay 500 euros and when we asked for a breakdown of what the charges were for, we received a copy of an account with one sum of money on it and an explanation it was for  "phone calls, e-mails, paperwork etc".

Our new lawyer does not want to get involved and advised us that legal fees must be charged in accordance with the Local Law Bar rates and we have a right to make a formal complaint if their level of service is not equal to the fees charged or if they are excessive.

Has anyone got any experience they can share? or advice on what we should do?  Can they refuse to  pass on the documents to our new lawyer if we don't pay? 

Thanks in advance, Nicola
