Many thanks for prompt reply. I have read a few of the other postings and can understand you may feel isolated on the advice you have given. I agree we all seem to be chasing the idea things can be put right. However my views on justice in Spain or any where else is that the chances are slim and involve throwing more money at it through solicitors.
Our action on Greenhills was against the bank guarantors of the development. We have another action going for the La Reserva II site where there is no bank involved.
My interest in linking up is based on the fact the banks/developers have the resources to pick individual investors/owners off. Pressure on the local government and authorities may be more fruitful if the reputation of the area for save investment is challenged.
I am also now very suspicious of the realty companies in this fiasco.
I have sunk my potential pension pot in these two failed developments and certainly will not complete only to have them declared illegal and demolished. I believe the corruption on the part of local officials is only part of the story. Poor planning laws and inefficiency have played their part. As such joined up effort to deal with it seems the only likely way to win.
I have read many articles in our English press and a few TV programmes on the subject as well. Surely that interest can be harnessed and directed with some effect.
I hope to hear from others now to help gauge the options we have.
Regards, Roger
