Hi, I purchased an apartment in Bloque 6 via OVP. I insisted that I wanted to see a copy of the BG which OVP sent me. I used the solicitor in Marbella that OVP recommended and the BG was on their headed paper. When the apartment was finished and I saw it I realised it was smaller than it should have been and only had one bathroom not two as on the plan.
I called to the solictor in Marbella and said that i wouldn't complete as it was not built as the plan. He told me that I must complete otherwise I would lose all the money I had paid up to that date. I hit the roof and said that I had the BG on his headed paper. His excact reply was impossible there is no BG. I told him I would fax him a copy when I arrived back in England which I did. His reply was it must have have been fraudulently copied on his headed paper by someone, I guess OVP. In the end I decided to complete and try to take action against OVP and I did manage to get a free parking space from Aifos in lieu of the second bathroom .
I then took OVP to the small claims court here in England as the furniture pack was imcomplete and they reimbursed me for the cost of completing the funishings.
I came to the conclusion that OVP, Aifos and the solicitor were all in cahoots but when i told the solicitor this to his face he became very hostile to me for casting doubts on his integrity.
I wish you the best of luck but i dont think there ever was a BG and how mortgages were provided by Spanish banks I will never know.
