Julie Anne - don't worry, I have just received my letter from the administrators (in Spanish of course) and will scan/email it to my solicitor for a translation.
Cheers, Johnstuart

Re 'the list' - thanks for the information. My solicitor tells me I'm on the list but I have not had a letter from SJ or the courts. I don't suppose having the letter matters a hoot but it would be comforting, so I shall mention it to my brief!

As I understand things, you need to be on the 'official' list lodged with the administrators, and not merely on the list supplied by the developer. This is the first stage of the process. The next stage [as advised to me at any rate] is where the solicitor defends your interests in the court whether you want to proceed with the purchase or fight for a refund. This stage requires a 'power of attorney' being granted to the solicitor which takes a little while especially in UK. For your information, our solicitor is charging 2000 euros for both stages [1200 to us as we were already a client for the purchase]. Apparently, no solicitor will give you a price for getting on the official list of creditors as a sole task - it's the complete process or nothing! Hope this helps.[I agree about the internet and these forums, otherwise we would be completely in the dark].

Re power of attorney
Funny old game, as they say! Having checked various quotes from the solicitors on this forum who have been very helpful [which we appreciate], we are using our Spanish purchasing solicitor in regard to the creditors list/administration process and he says he does NOT require power of attorney at this stage, but maybe later. For your information, he says the " in the Lawyers' Official Legal Fees Book of Murcia the fees in your case is aprox. 2.000 € for all the process" but as existing clients we are being charged 1200 euros. We have instructed him to push for SADM completion initially but to recover funds [obviously] in the event of liquidation. Our one concern, like other buyers, is the timescale if SADM trundles along!
Keep smiling!
