Hi Keith,

Yes our solicitor was recommended by the estate agent & I am sure there was a "conflict of interest" which is so wrong as we were paying for his "advice" Marie's team only managed to execute bank guarantee barely 2 weeks before First Occupation Licence was granted.

I must also say if we had not found the EOS site we would naively have believed what we were being told. So I must give a big thank you to Justin & his team also for just being there & giving us the means to become more clued up.

Dear All

Just to let you all know we have just been informed by Costa Luz solicitors our deposit held by the bank has been returned to them & is ready for tranfer to our account.Costs & interest to be returned at a later date

We must thank Justin & the EOS for enabling  us to get in touch with Maria. Without her advise we would have floundered.

We were being told  by our previous solicitors [ recommended by our agent ] our bank guarantee was out of date & so we could not pull out without losing our deposit..I think he was waiting for the First License of Habitationyo be granted which was imminent & would have stopped us pulling out.

We were so disillusioned & worried when I got in touch with Maria that to be honest we didn't know whose advise to trust

Our case has taken 15 months to reach this stage so not a quick fix. But thank goodness we took her advice.

I would like to thank the whole team at Costa Luz solicitors & Justin & his team at EOS wittout your advice & information I am sure our tale would have been different

Keep up the good work .
