Hi Dean
I was informed about the same thing, and I too have decided to stick with them, speaking spanish has helped as I have been able to deal directly with them, and also have confirmed the bank guarantees with the bank manager and also spoke to the council regarding the planning.
Currently the planning has been submitted to the committee and it's really a waiting game to see how long they will take to approve the plans.
But definately the prices have increased on the web, and also there is nothing similar to this anywhere else, especially with the pool per 4 apartments.
We have also decided to stick with them, mainly due to the price and also because we are not in any hurry to have the apartment, so even if it took another year to gain planning and then 2 years to build I would be quite happy as it means after the initial deposit we would not need to pay anything else till 5 months before completion.
Hopefully all will be ok and the apartments will be completed.
