Right, this is not particularly funny but I laughed out loud at the surreality of life with Aifos. I hasten to add that my heart goes out to the folk that have been duped by this company (us especially!) but a story in El País did make me laugh.

By all accounts Aifos, having gained planning permission to erect fourteen (yes, 14) houses in Playa Serena,  Roquetas de Mar (Almería) proceeded to build instead, 129 apartments over four floors! Perhaps somebody just got confused. Anyway, the judge has ordered them to be demolished although 40% are already occupied. Quite a few of those folk are renting but somebody somewhere bought the apartments and now they'll have to go through the same misery that we are at the moment. Tragic. And I guess we only hear a fraction of the shenanigans that are going on.

Anyway, does anyone have any recent pictures of the weeds at El Cortijo? I like to keep up to date.

Same old story I'm afraid Rob. Nothing will ever change.

Building promoters Aifos, a division of which is the Guadalpín hotel group, has filed for bankruptcy in a Malaga court. The firm’s biggest creditors are a number of Spanish banks but the most numerous are the purchasers of about 3,000 dwellings, and a brief communiqué from Aifos this week said that its aim was to guarantee construction of the buildings and hand them over to the owners as soon as possible. It also wants to ensure the continued activity of the group and its employees.

The bankruptcy proceedings will be published in the BOE after which creditors have a month to notify the court of their claims.

Part of one of the former Aifos properties, the Byblos hotel, was sold in auction this week to Sir Alan Sugar, acting for Amsprop Spain. The British businessman also put in a bid for the remainder of the property which will be accepted if no larger bid is received within ten days.
