Hi Bryan and Caryn,
I am in the same position as I have just returned from holiday to try and sort a solicitor. I am also wary of using a solicitor related to agent/builder so will be trying to find out costs from Martin @ Abolex. The ESTIMATED costs from Venenacio I received from Pauline are below:-
Amount of Deposit Estimated Fees
18,000 –24,000 € 833 € + 16 % VAT
24,000 – 60,000 € 1,013 € + 16 % VAT
40,000 – 60,000 € 1,428 € + 16 % VAT
60,000 – 100,000 € 1,853 € + 16 % VAT
100,000 - 120,000 € 2,553 € + 16 % VAT
120,000 – 200,000 € 2,903 € + 16 % VAT
Over 200,000 € 4,203 € + 16 % VAT
There will also be an additional fee for a Barrister which is estimated to be approx between 300 € - 500 €. You will be required to pay 30 % of this fee up front when giving your instruction to Venancio to represent you.
I was informed I had a Bank Guarantee but have not seen anything or ever heard I had one since 2002 so don't believe it. I have spoken to another purchaser who bought direct in Sweden (Max Nyman) so there are 4 of us so far! I have received the letters from the administrators but now need to sort Power of Attorney, documents and payment receipts details to a solicitor that isn't going to charge me an arm and a leg :-(
Cheers
Steve
