Hi,
We also used aroca and atlas. All was okay until it was time to sign in front
of notary. We were taken to aroca offices outside of torrevieja, paid all of our
legal fees THEN were informed oh you are not going to notary now BUT
you are going to solicitor to sign to give them power of attorney, at that point
I turned the air blue and told them in no uncertain terms that NO SOLICITOR was
going to sign for us. They made a second appointment for a week later which
was cancelled as the builder could not be there as he wanted an extended
weekend break(it was a monday the appointment).)The 3rd appointment was also
cancelled as they said they did not realise it was a national holiday, finally on the 4th
appointment we finally signed.BUT atlas thought we were only over in spain for a week
and we said we had to keep changing our flight and on the 4th atempt we were not willing
to change our flight again.BUT we were as devious as them as we were warned they may
pull a FAST ONE on us so we had actually booked to stay in Spain for 6 weeks.Since then
we have severed all ties with Aroca and have another solicitor who is very good and honest with
us. We got our deeds from Aroca about 6 months after we signed then immediately told them
we no longer required their services.We beleive that if we had gone with different firms then
our legal fees and apartment would have been a lot cheaper.!!!!
