I am not worried about the offer delaying the case as this has nothing to do with the courts and the law suit.  What we are doing is claiming from the insurance company for not paying out the policies, as far as i can see and what the lawyers have said. 

How can an offer made by the developer who is not who we are fighting against in court have anything to do with a claim against and insurance company for non payment.

The offer has been made to us and unless we accept it and cancel the law suit with teh insurance company this will still go ahead.   I know the courts are slow but as long as i get my money back i am prepared to wait even though i would prefer to get my money back sooner than later.

Hi everyone,

I had a call from a woman called Claudia last week offering me a discount on my property if i complete.  What a laugh! I want to cancel, not complete. I also asked her if i could have this offer by email and so far i have not heard anything back.

When i told my lawyers they said that they would not accept any offer unless on paper.

Has anyone esle had this call?

Carol, the claim for the legal fees might take time to be refunded to me but id rather wait and get them back.  No real point of arguing.  I will stay with my lawyers and hopefully will be refunded soon so that i can get on with my next investment.

Hi Carol & McGARVM, i have spoken to Fideso and they have advised that at this stage they dont yet have any Valle Romano clients cancelling

 Lexland on the other hand has told me they have over 190 clients who have bought in Valle Romano and due to this they can offer more reduced fees.

I enquired about there fees and was told that they are calculate according to the Spanish bar association which is the minimum that any lawyer should charge, they also told me that if any other law firm is offering to cancel for less that they would be more than happy to match the offer if that is possible and compling with Spanish regulations. In any case this is not worrying me as explained in my previous posts, as  I can claim all the fees back once the insurance policy process is finished, and im happy with this.

I for one as good as your lawyer may be Carol,  would not like to use a law firm in Alicante when my property is on the Costa del Sol.  I much rathre work with the law firm that has delt with the property from the start and the one who has the most number of clients and therefore more options and power to negotiate with the developers and the insurance company.

If anyone wants Lexlands details please let me know.

Hey everyone,

I dont understand why everyone is so worried.  I completely agree with musicman, many developments worldwide do not offer bank guarantees and we have one and are fully covered which is fantastic. 

There is a difference between getting your money back and the lawyers fees, the fees are not covered by the insurance company and therefore that why we dont get them back at this stage, but due to the developers being in breach of contract Lexland have advised me that i can claim back all the lawyers fees once they have refunded me and that this would be a seperate case. 

I know it sounds like we will be at it forever but i rather get my money back some day than never at all and as i have mentioned before i am completely happy with the procedure.

Any lawyer anywhere in the world is going to charge you for their work and these refunds are no exception.  As long as the fees can be claimed back i really dont have a problem.
