Yes and no, we got one for first payment but not for 2nd.

I've heard a lot of stories about people having to wait after judgement. Seems to vary from 2-3 months to 2+ years. Have to hope for the best. I have full trust in Maria and the team.

About 5 years ago we paid a deposit then further prompt payments on an off-plan property in Spain. About a year later the developers were hassling us to complete way ahead of schedule and with none of the proposed facilities completed or even started infact, we were a little concerned.

We wanted to have a look at the state of the site but they started to hassle us really badly and use threatening language. We spoke about this with a few people then contacted Maria at Costa Luz. She put our minds at rest and gave us some good advice about what to do. To cut a long story short we decided to try and get our money back as we felt they had breached our contract and by law we were entitled to claim our money back.

Maria and her team kept us informed of all the major developments and when there was a gap I could always follow any general news by reading her excellent eye on spain blog.

I spoke with Maria a few times and she explained the process to us fully and even though our life savings were at stake she was able to reassure us that everything was being done on our behalf to settle the matter as quickly as possible.

Recently we were delighted to hear that Costa Luz had won our case in court and we are hoping that we'll soon get the proceeds. We would still like to buy in Spain especially now that we have found a trustworthy and reliable lawyer.

I can highly recommend Costa Luz for anyone who needs legal help in Spain. You will not regret using them.

Banco Popular also hold a lot of the mortgages on Condado. We used them as first choice before heading down the broker route.

So far, so good as Polaris have helped with the communications and i don't think there is the same problem with valuations.

We have found things a lot better since being transferred the Legal Department rather than customer services who I assume must be on some kind of bonus for earlier completions. The Legal Department seem far more courteous and as long as you keep them informed of the situation they don't seem to pressure you.

Having your solicitor talk to the Legal Dept also helps

Nice to see articles like this after such a trying Autumn. I know Polaris probably laid out the red carpet for these journo's but it's still good to see such positive feedback.
