Hi Dimala and Mikey
We got our money back in full in September. This was after two years of waiting. The whole novelty of it had been ruined for us. We had a great Solicitor all along and in June/July last I got really mad and phoned Polaris myself and asked for a full refund. They phoned me back and offered me key ready properties on another site but for the same price as I was already paying. Having checked on websites and looking at re-sales they were selling for Euros 40,000 less. I asked them did they think I was stupid, told them not to contact me again but only my Solicitor. I also threatened to post letters on websites about my experience and also to camp outside their sales office (I am not sure if I would have done this but it sounded good!). My advice really is to get a very good Solicitor and also to hound them on the phone and be very very firm.
Best of luck
Eve Kate

Hi
We got a full refund of our money in September. We were shocked. We had a very good Solicitor in Spain but in June/July last I took the bull by the horns and spoke to Polaris themselves. I demanded my money back and very shortly they phoned me back and offered me alterative key-ready properties on another site but at the same price as I was paying. I checked websites and these properties were selling for at least Euro 40,000 less. I asked them did they really think I was stupid. I said I wanted no more contact from them and it was now directly in the hands of my Solicitors (who they had ignored for pratically two years). Within weeks I had my money back. I also threatened to post several letters on websites warning them about Polaris and I also said I would camp outside their sales office. I did mean this! We got our 40,000 back. Be firm and get a good Solicitor. Best of luck. Eve Kate

thanks dave. I am a little in shock. Have just receive d our bank guarantee after almost 2 years last Friday!!!! Am a little relieved but am still not going to wait another two years to get the property. Our kids will be 4 years older than when we first stupidly signed! I know so many friends who just bought properties without any problems. The lack of information from Polaris has driven our Solicitors crazy. They just ignore their correspondence. Anyway thanks again Dave. It seems we do have to leave in the part about bank accounts, etc. Eve Kate

our solicitors have requested we sign a power of attorney to initiate court proceedings as we have not got bank guarantees on two payments 40,000 euros. however, just a bit confused as included in the power of attorney is authority for him to open bank accounts, etc on our behalf. Surely all we need is for him to act for us in legal proceedings and not open accounts, etc?
