Hi Allimal

You can use a  currency exchange service such as Money Corp or X.E I was fortunate that when I exchanged my money the rates were in my favour, unlike today.  You can register with the company and find out who will offer you the best rate.  Because I remortged my house to finance the property abroad the money refunded went back onto the property in England.  So it wasnt an issue.  Hope all goes well with the refund.

Im not sure what she wants to pay but I am aware she has been looking at distressed properties with the view of getting a bargain.  That might not suite you as you may be at a loss but if you pm me the details I have no problem passing them on.  To be honest  if you cant off load it you may have to look at long or short term rentals until the market picks up to cover some of your costs.  It was really unfortunate that Arenal went bust as it has had massive implications for a lot of people.  I was fortunate to get the refund as I may have struggled given the delays and the exchange rate.  I have a friend who has two apartments on Arenal and she is very happy with her purchaes.  She has one on phase 1 and on phase 3 also.  Arenal is in a good position so rentals shouldnt be a proble.

Hi Juniper, I am sorry to hear your news.  The developer paid me as stated previously only because the habitation license had not been appliied for, once I was paid I had to sign a contract stating I would not request further money off them.  Have the developers released the prices for Arenal yet and  are people trying to resell properties on phase 4 at a reduced price.  If so could you pm me as I know someone who is interested in purchasing a distressed apartment..

vwderby I used Europeam Legal Solutions and have received a full refund with interest. Patricia delt with the case.  The process took about 5 months.  The hold up was not with E.LS but the contractors.  They kept me informed most of the time and are very efficient.
