You may already know this but if you intend to visit the consulate it can be quite hard to find, It is on an industrial estate on the edge of Alicante where it has an office in a Fyfees banana warehouse.

 I don't know if you have seen this but it might be of interest: http://www.thalasiahotel.com/Thalasia_Hotel_and_Thalasso_Center_Home.html

This seems to imply that hotel guests have access to the spa but my wife and daughter in law have used the spa both when they were staying there and also as day users.

Perhaps give them a ring. I think maybe you have to choose the "modules" you want to book for. Apparently it is very good.

For God's sake get a grip. Zodiac are not your friend. Zodiac told you to use a German solicitor because he was known to the developer and because he would do you all he would charge less. Who do you think he saw as his client?

If you intend to sue use a reputable lawyer. I would suggest you at least look at:

The International Law Partnership LLP
The Vaults
Holborn Hall
193-197 High Holborn
London
WC1V 7BD
England

From the UK: 020 7061 6700
From Overseas: +44 20 7061 6700

This used to be known as J Howell & Co until they expanded. As the name implies they are international laywers and use Spaniards or British lawyers who are qualified in Spanish law and can explain it fully in English.

It was Howell & Co who warned me off this development. There is, by the way, another problem with this development which the German lawyer has not pointed out to you. In addition to the illegality of the urbanisation the developers do not have (or when I was involved, did not have) bank guarantees.

This means that if they go bust or just go away there is no financial guarantor who will pay to complete the development. And this applies not just to houses not built yet but to roads not finished yet. It would be almost certain the local government would try to make the people living there pay for this in addition to what they have already paid. This could be a lot!  

I hope this is helpful. But please get your own lawyers. Do not use Zodiacs. Who knows...you may want to sue Zodiac later on and then do you think their lawyers will be on your side!

Hi Angie

really sorry to hear about your predicament. But this thing really is outrageous. Do you know waht the current state of play is? Have Zodiac Villas disappeared? What has happened to the German builder and his German lawyers? Is the local mayor to be prosecuted. And what about the poor people who sold up in England and completed on their sale. Will they be evicted or what? Is the development finished or will it be finished and maybe retrospectively urbanised?

Such a terrible shame. But I am just wondering if you will be OK if the develoopment is eventually legalised.
