Hi every-one, just found the forum good to know its not just me thats been hood winked by aifos,but there are many of us that are in the same leaky,listing, soon to sink boat !
My own experience is similar to every-ones. Looked for a while, decided on Hipo site. Spoke to people I know who live in Cos del Sol area. Seem good price (100k 3 bed grd flr, 2 bath) 2002 off plan, smallish risk, bigish reward. Put down deposit + a bit more as there was a problem with bank transfer. What a fool!! Been waiting ever since .My lawyer contacted Aifos to request all monies back, Guess what ? No joy. "The company has no money due to the currant climate". I dont trust any of the lawyers one bit. Aifos rep phoned me 1st week of June 08 telling me there is no way that the company can refund at the moment, but my options are as follows :
Options
1 I can buy one of the completed appartments in Benalmadina ( at todays prices no compensation). using my deposit
2 In sept 08 when Benalmadina is complete the work force from there will start at Hipo site to build swimming pool & finnish all pavements so that they can release the compleated 4 blocks. The Town Hall have sanctioned this he said (my arse)
3 I can continue with my persuit of Aifos through the courts as this is my right to do so. (He reminded me that this can take a number of years to do as this is Spain) YOU DONT SAY PEDRO.
At this moment do I stick or twist??
Will they ever get finnished or is it more bull or do I go down the 7k lawyer Route with no guarentee i,ll get a penny back.
