Hi

We have been trying to withdraw from a purchase that was also due in September 2006, which has been delayed by the lack of habitation certificate - this eventually came thorugh in Feb this year at the same time as our starting court proceedings as the developer refused to enter into dicussions.  In the intervening period we have knowledge that the building licence on the complex has been revoked and we are still unable to complete - the buider still refuses to refund our money, even at our request of losing 25% of the deposit, which was in the contract if we withdrew before completion date.

It appears we have to take the very expensive court route.

We feel very abondoned, our legal representative give very little feedback, everything we find out about happens in Spain is through our own research - it just seems everyone is in it together!
