Following my earlier posts re Roda Golf and 'Lost the Lot', I drove down there with a dire old Transit and emptied the almost  a quarter of a million pound apartment, and drove back. Trip was fairly boring, but what a joy! Sent the keys back to the outrageous, overcharging bank with a letter to the branch and another to the head office. I did not play their imbecilic games with Dation el Pago because it would have cost many more thousands, firstly enriching the solicitors and then a Notary, (1% to start) followed by an endless court case with attendant delays and yet more sky-high charges. Two years was mentioned as normal!. In the meantime mortgage repayments would have been suspended, but not the crazy Communidad charges (£1500 pa), the new 'entity' costs (£500) plus a new 'council tax'  (?)and all the  utilities. What'll happen now I neither know nor care, but I'm not paying them another cent. So it joins the million or so other unwanted and uneconomical properties standing empty all over Spain, not to mention all the unsold second-hand  property for sale everywhere which has ALL lost about 40% apparently. If you want a holiday in Spain, and believe me there are very many better destinations, stay in a 5 star hotel,- it'll be miles cheaper than owning a fancy apartment on a usually almost empty golf course. The whole place is virtually deserted for 8-9 months a year.  I reckon I've lost about £60,000 but I've put a smile on the face of MRI and Roda's owners, and now at last I'm free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, home, close to broke but happy because the cash haemorrage has ended thank F.

Thread: FREE AT LAST!!

Hi everyone. Thanks for all your generally kind and understanding comments on my Roda postings. I'm about to bail out and hopefully skip the dacion pago stuff as I have already lost pretty much all my life savings, and with no realistic end in sight. The other costs and charges are still running at way over £60 per week, plus the mortgage and it's all simply unsustainable. I've read all about the dacion scheme and even there, rip-off continues, so I really don't intend to play that particular game. Big question is, "What happens if you just give them the keys back?" Maria kindly suggested a form of letter which I understand obviates the dacion performance, and I hope she'll arrange to do one. Still a few weeks to go. Have an almost new Air-con system and meter for sale, will suit Roda 2 bed apartment.  Can arrange installation. Cheers, Rollo



Thread: what happens if you ignore dacion en pago and just chuck the keys in?

What are the chances of being pursued for a 'shortfall' if one ignores the banks preferred payola route, empties ones dwelling, and just rides away? The bank has already absorbed, very quickly, our so-called 'profit' by shafting us at 6% interest for the first 18 months mortgage payments or so. Then they grossly overcharged for property and life insurances etc. As far as I'm concerned they have had the great bulk of my life savings, other costs and charges have soared to the extent that getting the hell out is a very attractive option. Has anyone here just handed the keys back with a cheery 'Adios'? What was the upshot? Would greatly welcome any advice and/or opinions. Thanks, Rollo
