Yes in the same boat as you...We tried to buy an Albatross in 2007/8/9...can't remember exactly now as it is so long ago.
We virtually paid everything up front and when we were to sign the deeds and hand over the final payment our Solicitor noticed that Masa/Procobar had an outstanding debt attached to our property to the tune of over 100,000 euros. which they hadn't paid off.
They tried to get our Solicitor to sign on the understanding that they would pay the debt at some time in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our Solicitor refused to sign until they paid off the debt because we could have been landed with the debt which I fully believe would have been the case.
Our second attempt to sign the deeds and make our final payment had the same result....Masa/Procobar are bandits!!!!!!!
We have taken them to court and have had the case found in our favour ( money back plus interest etc) in January 2012. Our Solicitors have seized three of their assets but until the ruling can be handed to Masa's Admimistrators who are invisible, it seems we cannot get any further.
The legal system in Spain needs some serious looking at...I'm sure that if the case had gone against us we there would have been demands on our doorstep next day..We speak to our Solicitor fairly regularly who says that the cause is due to the tardiness of the Spanish Courts......Can anyone shed any light on this???
