Good Luck to you "enough is enough".

I agree totally with your sentiments and hope you succeed in getting some common sense and business professionalism back into this developer.

We seem to be treated as the ones that have done something wrong.

IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THAT IT HAS TAKEN SO LONG TO GET TO ESCRITURAS.

The developer has taken ALL of the shortcuts that have delayed things but we are paying the price !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I have also been without services for 3 weeks despite having religiously adhered to every contractual obligation.

I have actually paid over 30k more than I contractually was obliged to.

Antonio needs to realise that his future developments will be jeapardised by a bad reputation unless he starts to treat his clients in a much better way.

I know for a fact that at least 3 people have been dissuaded from purchasing from Trampolin because of conversations with El Trampolin owners.

PS - What does Nil carborundum mean?

Jogary, Interesting that this Lawyer states that it is no longer legal for Notaries to authorise deeds without the Habitation License.

Would be very interested to hear this from other Lawyers as you seem to get differing answers to basic questions here!

Several people have "completed" and now have legal ownership of their property.

Does this mean that they are now liable for any outstanding fines on these properties ?

This may be the motivation for Antonio's actions.

If not then he must need the money - a much more worrying scenario!

Shepp, I am told that we should be legal in "3-6 months" by my Lawyer.

Murciabhoy / Ogo,

Firstly, can I assure everyone that I am "real". I would have thought that it is fairly obvious why I not giving my identity. You guys on TH have no idea yet the depths to which this developer can sink. If anyone wants to meet with me then make a suggestion as to how this can be done PRIVATELY.

Murciabuoy, you sound like you work for El Trampolin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ogo, can't see why writing in CAPS or not is relevent!

I still have my current contract - this is the whole point , I want to live quietly and happily in my new house. I want to live in Spain for some peace! I will gladly pay the balance of my house, in which I intend to live, BUT NOT UNTIL IT IS LEGAL.

Trampolin through their unpleasant tactics are spoiling what should be one of the best periods of our lives.

Given my tiime again I would have walked away, but now have paid 85% of my house so I am snookered.

I agree that paying for water and electricity is reasonable. Can I point out however that an approach has NEVER been made for money towards this. The only requests are for large (€20,000) sums off the completion balances.

It is entirely up to the individual whether you heed my warnings (meant in good faith to help fellow Brits) or ignore them. It will not change my life one iota!!!

Good luck to all.

PS on a (slightly) positive note, the build quality of the houise is very good so if you can stand the pain you we should all be OK in the end.

ATTENTION ANYONE CONSIDERING

DOING BUSINESS WITH “EL TRAMPOLIN”.

I SIGNED FOR MY VILLA ON THE ORIGINAL EL TRAMPOLIN DEVELOPMENT SOME 4 YEARS AGO. IT WAS DUE TO BE COMPLETED IN OCTOBER 2006.

WE HAD WHAT IN SPAIN IS LAUGHABLY CALLED A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT WHICH HAD A PAYMENT PLAN SPECIFIED. THIS PLAN SAYS THAT “LEGALLY” I DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ANY MORE MONEY UNTIL THE HOUSE IS LEGALLY COMPLETED – I.E. THE DEEDS ARE AVAILABLE.

ON TOP OF THE AGREED 60% DEPOSITS, WE WERE FORCED TO PAY €35,000 EUROS “KEY MONEY” TO OBTAIN ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY.

SINCE THEN, WHENEVER THIS DEVELOPER HITS CASH FLOW PROBLEMS, HE SENDS HIS MINIONS (MARTHA ET AL) TO DEMAND MORE MONEY ON THREAT OF HAVING OUR WATER AND ELECTRICITY CUT OFF. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES FOR VARYING LENGHTS OF TIME FROM 24 HOURS TO 1 WEEK.

WE ARE NOW IN THE POSITION OF BEING THREATENED AGAIN WITH SUCH ACTION. MARTHA HAS INFORMED EVERYONE ON PHASE 1 OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT OUR ESCITURAS ARE DUE IN ONE MONTH’S TIME – A BLATENT LIE ACCORDING TO VARIOUS LAWYERS INVOLVED (ALTHOUGH YOU CANNOT TRUST A SPANISH LAWYER TO ACT SOLELY IN YOUR INTERESTS AS YOU CAN IN THE UK).

SHE ALSO HAS STATED THAT “EL PRESIDENTE” (MELON FARMER) ANTONIO WILL CUT ALL OF US OFF AGAIN IF THESE MONEYS ARE NOT FORTHCOMING.

ONE FRIEND OF MINE HAS BEEN TOLD THAT HIS HOUSE WILL BE EMPTIED AND PUT UP FOR SALE IF HE DOES NOT DROP EVERYTHING AND FLY TO SPAIN TO COMPLETE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS!!

IF THE MONEY IS NEEDED TO PAY TOWN HALL CHARGES OR OTHER SUCH BILLS, THEN WHY NOT CONSULT THE INTERESTED PARTIES AND WE MIGHT HELP.

HOWEVER, WHEN IT SEEMS THAT THE MONEY PAID IN GOOD FAITH HAS BEEN FRITTERED ON €400K MCLAREN MERCEDES SPORTS CARS AND VILLAS FOR HIS MISTRESS’ THEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I URGE EVERONE IN THE SAME POSITION AS MYSELF TO RESIST THESE BULLYING TACTICS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

I URGE EVERYONE WHO HAS PAID DEPOSITS ON OTHER TRAMPOLIN SITES TO CONSIDER “CUTTING YOUR LOSSES” IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT AS YOU WILL CERTAILY RECEIVE THE SAME TREATMENT.

I URGE EVERYONE CONSIDERING BUYING OFF TRAMPOLIN “NEW CAR OR NOT“ TO FIND ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT ASAP AND DO NOT TOUCH THESE BANDITS WITH A BARGEPOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
