Surely this section clearly says that the 30 days for "after votes" is from when they are advised of the voting for or against agenda items at the meeting. Therefore this timing must be from when we receive the minutes of the meeting otherwise we have no knowledge of what votes were taken or the results.

In our community it regularly takes months before the minutes are distributed. This year the administrators did email to say that the Fees & Budget had been approved but did not mention anything else that was on the agenda.

I have been reading in David Searl's book about You and the law in Spain. This says that under Spains' recent building laws a developer is responsible for "finishing defects" for 1 year, "minor defects" for 2 years and "structural defects" for 10 years. We are having problems as it is now more than 1 year since we completed buying our property and the developer is now saying that water leaking through the joints in our PVCU windows is not their responsibility and could need maintenance and of course after more than 12 months it is not their responsibility. They are also using this excuse for things that were reported within 12 months but that they have still not fixed!!! Does anybody know what the effective date for these regulations is as we do not expect to get any reply from our lawyer because we paid him on completion and have had no reply to emails since that time.

As long as you only have one property in Spain then you can submit Form 214 yourself. If you have more than one then my understanding is that a Fiscal Representative is required.  I have found the book "You and the Law in Spain" extremely useful and well worth buying.

We had thought it was only promoters who ignored their clients once they had been paid the balance of money at completion. They were the ones who would ignore requests to complete reported snagging lists.

Unfortunately our lawyer is no longer responding to any of our emailsregarding ongoing problems with snags. Emails worked perfectly before completion but apparently not any more.

Our last request was because our promoter is now deciding that snags are caused by lack of maintenance or misuse which they can decide without even looking at the property or fault reported. They actually gave me this in writing recently which is what prompted email to "our" lawyer.

We had been advised that our lawyer was responsible for the fulfilment by the promoter of the contract including snagging and fault completion. It now seems that we are left to our own devices by our lawyer as well as the promoter !!!!!

Can one take action or make a complaint through an official body about lawyers in Spain ?

Or does one take the route of completing an "Hoja de Reclamacion" at our local office or does it have to be at the office in the town were lawyer practices (Alicante) ?

Any help or advice appreciated.
