In december 2017 my next door neighbour at the time was being evicted from his villa where he had lived without title deeds since 2006 as were four of our neighbours .
The builder had gone bust leaving 180,000 euro mortgages on each of the villas,eleven years earlier and the BBVA had called to reclaim them. . My neighbour was in bits the morning he was evicted,and this is where the first thank you comes in to Eye on Spain forum because this is where i found Costa Luz Lawyers and all about the Spanish Supreme court 2016 ruling on bank guarantees. My next door neighbor listened to me that dreadful day in December 2017 ,and we contacted Costa Luz Lawyers. The result thanks to Maria Carmen,Maria Castro and Keith Rule is after four and half years, through appeals and everything La Caixa could throw at us we came through recovering the deposits lost ,interest over 15 years, and court expenses. At this point you might be wondering what happened to the other four neighbours, None of the others were listening they employed other solicitors who went down a different path,i regret to say all they got was a 35,000 euro bill.Thank you Costa Luz Lawyers you really are a top team.
