Sounds like you have the same view of MRI as I do!! Would definately not use MRI lawyer. Bought a studio in Cannes through MRI couple of yrs ago, used my own lawyer, which they didnt like, had a few problems! hence, good protection in having your own independent lawyer!!!!!!!!
Buying in Alta Entinas and Portofino, but bought directly with Prondial the builder. Using Christina-Erika Diez Mentzel based in Roquetas de Mar, email cmentzel@teleline.es, tel 0034950336861.
They speak excellent english and todate have given good service. However, as yet, not had the experince of completing/exchanging contracts with them, this will be happening on Alta Entinas next month.
