Thanks Andy & Lynne,
some good news at last after all the doom and gloom.
I have spoken to my agent several times over the last weeks( has dealt with purchases for several of my friends and i believe can be trusted), I have been told that delays with Spanish builds are normal and scare mongering is par for the course, she has a hard copy of the bank guarantee from the builders.
Until there is a definite problem other than the delay I intend to look forward to moving into a lovely area with lots of new friends!!.
