Hi Erylpage, For the avoidance of doubt, I'm talking about not walking away from pursuing the agents for a refund, I'm certainly not carrying on with the purchase...

Hi Leytonstoneblue, thanks for replying

It's not in my nature to walk away, I should probably know better but I guess I never learn in that respect...

I paid the agent a reservation  fee for multiple units, they told me in their letter of receipt that the money was ring fenced and backed by a bank guarantee. That is in black and white.

They are now saying that you have to sue the owners for the money in Spain. *od that for a game of soldiers!

As far as I am concerned the agent is in the wrong and mis-sold those units by giving me wrong information, and committing that information in writing, they have received commission for those sales at around 15%, and will now get paid at the other end by the new developers, how can that be right

I believe that the agent owes a duty of care to the original buyers and that they should pursue the refunds on our behalf, and not do as they are doing, which is a Pontius Pilate and washing their hands of the matter.

So I'm going after the agent in the UK...

Hi there, I wondered whether anyone has had any further communication from Global Spaces with regard to the return of their deposit? The last I heard was that Global Spaces were going to assist with obtaining the refund by chasing the developers on behalf of clients, that was about 6-8 weeks ago, I've chased Global Spaces again but they've not replied. Anyone got any news please?

Thanks for the update; regarding your possible rethink, have you enquired as to the likelihood of a full and speedy refund should you choose to cancel? My earlier post refers
