Hello Maria, We have a bank guarantee for our off plan build which should have been completed end of November 2007. the builder was given 90day extension in the contract which takes us up to end of Feb 2008, we have asked our lawyer to execute the bank guarantee and refund all our money which amounts to 64000euro ,after many phone calls, emails and a lot of patience with all the excuses we receive that he can never meet with the builder our lawyer now say's it is time to take court action against the builder and also grant power of attorney to them to go ahead and make a claim on our behalf , surley we should not have to do either of these as the builder has not upheld the contract,so by law he should refund our money as we have requested? We did make the big mistake by using the solicitor that was recomended by the agent, should we end dealings with our current solicitor and engage a new one or just hope that they will now deal with our request as the guarantee for the build is coming to an end.
We have been told by the solicitor the builder has told them that the build is not expected to be completed until 2010. any information would be most helpfull. Regards. Daphebba.
