Hi - we were almost 2 years 9 months awaiting guarantee. We eventually, through the sheer persistence of our Solicitors, got one last November. It is a little bit of reassurance. We had threatened to pull out of the contract altogether if we didn't get one. Spainish law drives us mad because in Ireland you must get this guarantee (home bond) as soon as you have handed over money (or maybe shortly afterwards). What drives me mad is that Polaris World have been breaking the law by not issuing these for soooooo long and yet no one in authority has done anything to stop them selling even more property. My advice would be to get your independent solicitor to start writing to them on a regular basis (oh by the way they never actually replied to our Solicitor's letter once) and then out of the blue came the guarantee. I really think they need some very formal lessons in customer service. I have advised anyone we know not to deal with them. Am totally disappointed! Fran
