What's the best deal?

I will call the lawyers this morning and find out how many we are in now, fees, next step, etc - they will be sending anyway all of this info in writing. I will send coments, if any,  to you all to your private email address.

I have got another 2 people interested, I hope they can join in too.

Cheers

SMC

i also have another one...just in the process of confirming what they are to do...babsy

did they get in this via Palmera?

SMC

Just spoke to lawyers - not much to report other that they have got the paperwork of 7 and one more on the way. Also, been told that others can still join in, so for those who are still out there, pls call them - the more the better and stronger!

By for now

SMC

hi

yes i beleive via palmera...they are on eye on spain previously....babsy

Hi all, have been out of contact for a few months, have recently had a baby and so have been a little preoccupied!!!  However, catching up on the forum I definitely would like to join so will give the solicitor a call tomorrow to see what the process will be....  SMC, is it worth dropping you a PM with my email address to receive brief message from solicitor?  I'll drop you one now anyhow, just to save time.

Oh, I received an email from Urbasa yesterday - a reply from my original email about 2/3 months ago!  Basically, they have told me that they had just one client who purchased Amarion III (Mr. Hanania Melouil) and that monies were paid to Palmera and Mr Hanania and that Urbasa never received anything.  They went on to say that, no payment aside and as the developers, they are looking for an 'economical solution' to complete the build, but that finances are not great!  Errr, obviously forgetting that I am no longer interested in the finished product and just want my money back - maybe they lost my cancellation letter.....

This email has just made me so angry, how long do we have to hear the same old story, passing the buck - this has been 5 years now (more for some).  All of us have parted with really hard earned money and these people think they can just get away with it?  I could go on but will spare you!

Anyway, hopefully there's still time to join.

Ciao

hi philansy

have just been reading up on palmera as one of your previous comment...wow what a bunch of cowboys is all i can say...unbeleivable...so unfair we are all dragged into something like this not knowing that these companys actually try to get away with these things...so so unfair...

hi ciao

not to late to join...give the lawyer a call -they are requesting contract and all correspondence regarding payments etc......

babsy

I Know they dont sound like a good company glad we didnt go with them but sorry for those that did      (most on here)  

urbasa told me that one person had bought all the apartments a few months ago but looking at what we have all been through it dont think it matters

we still have the contract with urbasa  not with any one else

Hi all,

Not been on here for a long time, interesting reading, can you give me some information regarding the action you are all taking i.e. Solicitors address, phone number, paperwork needed,and the cost if possible am interested but do not want to throw good money after bad. have now bought somewhere else but had to take out a mortgage this time as property has gone up in price... would like some money back to help pay off.

Hi CJW,

yes, it is best if you call the lawyers direct with any questions you may have. The documentation they need at the moment is copies of your contract/s, any payement receipts to Urbasa, Palmera...and any other paperwork relating to, if applicable, the termination of  contract. They will not be able to give you an indication of costings at present as they need to evaluate our case first once they have all the information from everyone. Then , they will give us what is called a  "minuta" with details of the process, stages...and fees.

Details below:

The solicitors usually charge 10% of what ever you  are claiming

with all you going together it may be cheaper, i dont know but i would be going of that if you want a rough price

also they usually want some up front,   I had to pay 1000 euro's to get it started off

you will have to pay this 10 %  win or lose

hope this helps

hi everyone,

we have a letter from palmera office in westcliffe on sea, states YOUR MONEY IS SAFE; initally,the deposit wil be held by palmera properties in a fully bonded and insured client account. when building starts, the monies are transferred to the developers bank client account, which is also bonded and insured

ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS LETTER..

IF URBASA NOT RECEIVED ANY MONEY FROM US WHY HAVE THEY NOT SAID BEFORE.

we were taken to see urbasa directors at start, also in summer of 05,

our sellers agreement states urbasa as the seller.

our paperwork is now with lawyers in spain

regards

           el robbo

in that case there shouldnt be a problem   ask them to give you your money back and tell them you have the letter

sounds like its a good letter that

el Robbo

I would send this to the lawyers asap I am sure they woulkd be very interested in its contents,I dont seem to have anything like this but with most of us buying off Palmera I think maybe that this should cover all of us in the action

Regards

C&G

hi el robbo

i dont have a letter with anything like that written it it...just the initial downpayment letter from them to say funds had been received into there account...babsy

Hi, just to let you know I called the solicitor this morning and scanned over all my documents - they've confirmed receipt so we're in with everyone else. 

At last we're doing something and it feels good.

Enjoy your weekends.

hi

letter in question is already with lawyer, with all other paperwork. we just wondered if anyone else had it.

        regards

                    el robbo

HI el Robbo

We have a letter from Palmera saying that if Urbasa go bankrupt they will pay us back the monies paid in  lieu of a bank guarantee,  However when I discussed it with Palmera they said that the letter was of no significance as it was issued from the Westcliiff on sea office and the person it is signed by no longer works for Palmera!  Hence a copy of that letter has gone to the solicitor!

Danny

Hi Danny

if you have a letter from them saying that it should'nt matter who signed it,  they represented that company

and they should pay you back

am not a expert in law but am pretty sure thats how it works
