Hi,

We also bought an apartment on El Mirado, Condado de Alhama in August 2007, with the understanding that it would be ready within 18 months to 2 years.  We have paid 40% deposit.  We bought this apartment to live in as we are both retired.

We are living in Spain at the moment in rented accomodation.  Polaris World contacted us 2 weeks ago to inform us that they have no plans to start building El Mirado in the near future and they offered us alternative accomodation.  They seem to think they are doing us a favour by offering us apartments nearer to the shops, bars, swimming pools etc. but this is not what we wanted and why we bought on El Mirador.  They also told us we could wait for El Mirador to be built but as you know they have no plans to even start the building and as we are both in our sixties we cant afford to wait too long.

We bought through Parador Properties who introduced us to a solicitor in Torrevieja.  We have emailed this solicitor to ask for advice but received no reply.

As far as we know this solicitor holds a bank gaurantee for us.

Any advice on this matter would be most welcome.

Joyce and Alan
