Hi Irish Buyer

I'm interested and I hope you've received my private e-mail (I appear to have a problem with my PC).  As you know from my update, I'm awaiting my lawyer's response with regard to her providing me with the bank guarantees she never received from the developer.  Needless to say, if I had known, and if this scenario applies to other purchasers as well, we would never have agreed to continue with the purchase.  I'm no lawyer but the lawyers must have been under a duty to provide us with such crucial information..  If I and/or we had  known we should have then been given the option to withdraw from the contract at a very early stage, possibly after the first stage payment, that's why its so important to know what's in our contracts and to get legal advice.  As we are all in the european union how different can spanish law be from english law, the whole point of being in europe is that we have the same rights and protection under the law, etc or is that just a load of BS.  

I've checked with the Law Society  who have a list of lawyers who specialise in spanish property law.  I would ask everyone whose interested to google Manuel Martin based in New Cavendish Street,  London they do property and litigation and have an office in spain.  We could then compare what's on offer for what price and go from there for those who are interested.  however, I don't think any option will be cheap but I also believe that if a purchaser acts alone s/he is fighting a losing battle and I firmly believe we should act as one.

I'm currently going over all the correspondence I received from my lawyer from the very beginning just in case I've missed something.  I understand my lawyer is 'acting' for 10 aureus purchasers.

Regards
