Just an update for you.
We visited the site in March and confirm that it is still deserted. We did look at alternative properties at Los Llanos with another agent and she informed us that the Location site at Los Llanos was legal, but that the Lemon Tree Island site (where the show house is) is not . She also stated the builder did not have any money to finish the Phase I property. (We had not told her we were trying to buy a property on Phase 1 - her father is also a local builder).
Our own lawyer at the time contracts were exchanged insisted on a bank guarantee, as it was illegal NOT to provide one and he was willing to report the Developer to the Government, however he did manage to obtain one from the agents.
The latest news we have, via our lawyer, is that the Developer is caught up in a disupte between the Andalusion Junta and the Zurgena Town Hall. The Developer has already started court proceedings, but it is not known how long this will take.
We understand that the Developer is therefore offering to cancel the contract and return any money paid - however he has no money at the moment - or to offer an extension to the completion date in order to give him time to sort.
