Hi there, my ex wife and I put a deposit on a property in Calas del pinar in August 2006 and it was to be completed in december 2007. After all the delays we became worried and on this forum discovered that we had not received a bank Guarantee and it seemed our Solicitor was totally in the pocket of Peinsa. We agreed to numerous extensions and eventually agrreed to a new date of completion for feb 2009 which was well over a year later than agreed. When nothing emerged in Feb 2009 we cancelled our contract and sought the refund of our deposit as we now had received a bank guarantee. We cahanged Lawyers only to have a worse experience with Maria De castro. Our property was finally completed in 2011 but by then my wife and I had split up and 5 years after we had thought we had found our dream home we now could not afford it because of our new circumstances.
I have recently been to Court and have lost the case as they do not deem a 2 year delay as an essential breach of Contract which to me is insane. I am of course appealing the case and wish to know if anyone can offer me advise or information about other people with similar experiences. Even if I wanted to i could not now proceed with the purchase and I am now down approx 100,000 euro..
Is anyone watre of any sucessful appeals of people who have recieved their deposits refunded.
