Hi Irene
Have a look at the following thread:
http://spanish-properties-forums.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1786&SearchTerms=bank,guarantees
I just paid and waited (11 months!) for my guarantee but other people on the thread above have given the 15% to their solicitor who has then kept it until PW have sent the guarantee.
Best of luck
Peter
Hi Rhona
I paid my initial 15% in April 2006 and my final 25% deposit in January 2007. It was december 2007 before I got my guarantee. PW are very slow. If you haven't paid your second 25% refuse to pay until you get your first guarantee. You can also get your solicitor to put your second deposit into a holding account to be released only when you receive your full guarantee - apparently PW then become very quick at dealing ith things. If you have already paid the full 40% keep pestering them.
