Our deposits were transfered from the bank to Grupo Sanchez  a year ago, when the first residence license was granted. Our understanding from our lawyer, is that we are bottom of the pile as creditors and not likely to get more than 25% of the deposit after another five years and certainly no interest. The administrators have now completed the bancruptcy report and the banks and subcontractors will be first to be paid. We still feel that the best option is to complete on the property rather than write off the deposit. That is the option we are following at this stage. We would welcome contact with other buyers on Elegance Dona Julia (phase 1). tel (44)1206 241117

hi - don't know about your development, but we started purchasing an apartment on Elegance Dona Julia (Developer Grupo Sanchez) in January 2004.  Phase I has been completed for 18 months, phase 2 half completed.  After MANY delays and problems trying to get in touch with the Developer by ourselves and our solicitors, we have finally found out that the Developer has filed for Bankruptcy.  We are suing for completion of our contract to take over the completed apartment.  Our solicitor advised trying to get our deposit back would take years and may not be successful (as our Developer has the Licence of First Occupancy they got our deposit!)  Phase 2 we understand will not be completed.  

The last six months have been very stressful - communciation with the Developer has been very difficult.  We know there was a lot of problems getting water and electricity to the sites but thought these problems had been solved now.

We have no knowledge of the hotel other than we were told a few months ago that it should be completed 2010.  Also the commercial centre.  Some people have moved into Las Vinas which is the development opposite the hotel also developed by Eva Marina.  
 It may be worth a day visit out there to go to the site and ask what is going on!
Good luck!
