Over 2 years ago I bought with an English company selling for a Spanish developer.  We have gone past the completion date and still no planning consent.  I am seeking to get my deposit back but feel after listening to friends experiences that we are going to get delayed in the Spanish / English trap with the English company claiming contracts and money are in Spain and visa versa.  My contract states there is a bank guarantee but my paperwork is not complete on this issue.  I am not sure whether to look for a Spanish or English lawyer, it would be ideal to find someone with experience of both.  I know from reading here that Maria de Castro is a good Spanish lawyer who is well aware of the issues on my development and with the company concerned.  I just fear that the key to getting my money back ultimately lies with English law.  Does anyone have any advice.
