Just thought I`d put my two penneth in here.......
To be totally honest if Stella & I had known at the offset what a roller coaster ride the last 4 or 5 years would have been we would probably have bought a place in Cornwall...but and it`s a big but (please no comments here!!) now it`s virtually all done and dusted we are both really pleased we stuck it out. It cost us, as with everyone else I assume, loads more than we had budgeted for and that in itself has exacerbated the problem but here we are in 2011 with a great house and some really great new friends.
I think the situation for people who are trying to get their money back is dreadfull, had we not been offererd a `completed` exchange house we would have probably pulled out, talk about bad timing eh... but I suppose things will improve in Spain over the years, I just hope some sort of justice will eventually prevail for those who are owed money.
Nice to hear you are all sorted now Ken...
Al the best,
Roger & Stella
