Hi.
I received the following email from my solicitor today saying that he had received a letter from Mirador giving the reason they have not built the garage. They are TELLING use (NOT ASKING) that we have to pay the extra €12000 + iva
He has said that we must complete on the property and get hold of the keys to stop Mirador cancelling the contract before we take any action against both Mirador & Palmera. He thinks that the whole site should at that point be able to put together a very strong case against both the agent & the Builder and take one action against both of them. As under the terms of the of the contract they should never of allowed use to buy the properties.
FROM MIRADORS SOLICITOR
They say that the properties in the complex were originally foreseen in the project as social dwellings (VPO) and that only because you the buyers, who are mostly non-residents, requested so, through Palmera Properties, they did not apply for the social status of the dwellings.
Also, they say that they have been informing you, through Palmera Properties, that because these dwellings are no longer social they would not have access to the allowances for the construction, and therefore this is why the increase of the price.
Finally, they also say that you cannot ask them to fulfil their obligations as per the contracts, since this would imply building properties, which you would not be allowed to buy.
Again, these reasons are not fair at all, so the options you have are the same we previously told you.
