We also put down a deposit on El Trampolin 4 years ago and then were coerced into paying 75% of the purchase price and given our keys with the promise of Completion.. We have furnished and landscaped the property and now two years later we still have no Escritura. Completions have taken place on phases one and three but not on phase two where we are. The reason for this is that the builder took out mortgages, AFTER we had all paid him, for sums far in excess of what we still owe . We also have embargos on our properties, possibly put there by people we know. It has become dog eat dog!!!! The Courts and the Banks seem to be unaware that there are third parties involved who stand to lose a great deal of money. I am at my wits end. He is also trying to charge us €200 per month community fee when we dont even own the house and cannot live in it because it is damp and has no electricty or water. He is not allowing people who have already completed to collect their habitation certificates unless they give him the money which means they cannot be connected to the utilities.
We are going to try having the embargos lifted and put elsewhere. But this does not look good. Surely there must be some European directive or something that can be done. We are hard working people with serious medical issues. My husband is 74 and I am not sure whether he will ever reap the benefit of our investment. In fact it is killing us both.
I don't know what else to say............

El Trampolin will not give me back my money.
