Over 8 years ago I put a deposit down on a property in the Costa Del Sol, the build wasn’t completed on time, the FOL was issued 11 months after the contract date. My initial Spanish legal representatives informed me that there would be no point in trying to cancel the contract because the FOL had already been issued. I was understandably disheartened but after further research decided to take advice from Maria who confirmed my initial thoughts, these being that a contract is a contract and that 11 months is far too long a period to run over. After a review of my case Maria and her team made the decision to pursue it further. After 2 trips to Madrid by me to the courts I heard the news that we had lost our court hearing, Maria immediately put the decision to the appeal court which her highly trained team won.
We are now over 8 years on, in receipt of our initial deposit and awaiting interest and fees to be refunded.
Please have faith in this company, Maria and her team are honest, hardworking and professional people. My wife and I visited their office in Algeciras and could not have received a more welcoming reception. It is important to recognise that sometimes responses from Spain are slower than what we are used to in the UK however, this is not to say that your case isn’t been worked on it is obviously just a different way of working. Do not give up the fight, although it was long and tedious for us it was worth the wait in the end. A huge thank you is deserved to Maria and her team.
