I've just registered with EOS as a purchaser of a Laurel apartment in phase II of Corvera. So far I've made the first payment of 30,334.50 Euros but nothing more as I'm very dissatisfied with the overall situation. I've previously requested my money back (twice) via my solicitor in Spain, but to no avail. He says I have no case, and the second time he didn't even bother to reply.

The developer phoned me a couple of months ago to suggest I make 50% of my second payment now and 50% later. This struck me as a desperate measure on their part to raise some cash. However, I don't intend to pay anything until I can see some tangible progress on my apartment and the facilities. Admitedly I haven't been back to Spain to view progress, but that's because they tell me I cannot go on site.

So that's where I am. It would be great if it gets built with all the promised facilities, but I'm not optimistic. In the meantime I would be happy to join in with any collective action; either getting my money back or forcing the developer to make a legally binding statement of his intentions.
