Hi,

I`m using a spanish solicitor based in valencia to act on my behalf, he is representing 5 Zodiac clients but he isn`t the guy  you mentioned.

I think it`s a good idea that we use different solicitors as we can share different information with each other. My solicitor has advised me to go with the offer of land rather than sue for the first construction payment. He says Morarim will probably go bust soon. He has also told me he will probably end up in jail as there are currently seven suits against him for fraud.

But what about Zodiac? I would be intersted to hear from anyone who can give us any information as to whether we can claim any damages from them. My solicitor says he his probably already prepared himself for this eventualluty. Noel is right what he says regarding these extra fees that will apply, i have been given this news also.

I just wish i had gone to his solicitor in the first place!! Any info that might help please post or email me directly.

More info on Montroy!

If you too have been unfortunate enough to have brought land on the Las Palomas development, i have been advised to get the builder to sign the title deeds for my plot over to me officially, via the courts. Apparantly this means if he sells the land on, no-one will be able to build on the plot i have purchased. Hope this helps!

Hi Noel,

Yes Zodiac Villas are still around, i have spoken to the Managing Director today! He is saying he was told by the German Lawyer that the develpoment was going to be urbanised and that the infastructure project had been sent in to the town hall. He had a meeting with the Mayor himself who confirmed that no such plans had been sent and thus no approval! The Lawyer has now dissappeared! Regarding the people who are living in villas on phase one, these technically are illegal, but i don`t think they will be demolised.

Regarding the bank guarantee issue, no bank guarantee was put into place. I am trying to sue for the first construction payment i gave to the builder but as they have no money, they are offerring us more land by way of compsensation. What do we do, accpet the offer or try to sue someone who is saying that have no assets it`s such a mess!

I`ve been told by my solicitor that eventually the development will become a legal urbanisation but this could take 2 - 5 years! He has advised us to take the offer of the land. To add insult to injury we have now been informed that we would have to pay a community fee of thousands of euro`s if the villas are ever built! If anyone can advise me and the others like me as what to do, please reply!!

Hi, yes there are more people out there who are victims of the Zodiac scam! that We too have parted with thousands of pounds to find out we have bought land that isn`t even urbanised!

 Anybody reading this, stay clear of Zodiac villas and the Las Palomas Development!!
