BY THE WAY BUILDING LICENSE WILL BE HERE TOMORROW But still not, The build is finished in 2007 but im not sure if they will have a building license by then ANYHELP WOULD BE GREAT THANKS FOR THE GOOD SITE : 😉 😉

Hi Bun
From my own experience……not a good one, I would try to get your 3,000 euro back from your solicitor and wait until the building license is granted. The developer will always say they will sell the property if you don’t put a deposit down. They are the last people you should put your trust in !!! If they do…there will always be another property coming along that you can buy. Trust your own instincts and don’t be pushed. Without a building licence, the developers have nothing to sell. WAIT.
My husband and I have lost 119,000euro to the developer of an off plan appt we were buying. The licence was revoked 4 weeks after we paid 30% deposit . It was due to be completed by July 2005. It has never been started. The lawyers have swallowed up 7,000 euro “in legal fees” that we paid upfront, for taxes, utilities etc. It is now costing us more money to try and recover this large sum of money.
I hope it turns out well for you.

Sounds to me like they are trying it on yet again these agents have no consience,after all the stuff I have read on here I would say to you pull out totally and look for a good resale,its a buyers market as there are lots of apartments available and I have seen more than enough people buying off plan who wanted to sell before completion and cannot.

How can i find out if the agent im useing is ok 😉 or bad 😈 there must be some imformation some were to find out about the good and bad and ,It would be good to find other people on the net who arebuying in to a development, im not buying to sell when finished, we were hoping to keep it if the building licence ever came through,, NOT ,Does anyone hold imformation,wish i could speak spanish as i would be on to the town hall in Iznalloz so i could be one step in front of the agent, WELL we our going to collage to learn 😉 bye for now

If you send me the telephone number of the town hall and the exact details of the project and developer I’d be happy to call their technical department and ask them directly what the situation really is with regard to the building licence, i.e . does it exist or not and if not is there any chance of the developer getting one.
Best Regards

Dear Sir,
Things in the spanish countryside do not work like in the north of Europe, here it is a completely different culture once you go out of big towns or coastal resorts, and you can’t do anything about it.
So my first advice is don’t panic, most probably nobody is trying to trick you, just be patient , take it easy, but of course that doesn’t mean to seat back and relax….You can absolutely trust your spanish lawyer, it is a reputable proffesion in Spain, and of course there are some who are not so honest ( as there are in Great Britain, and for those who don’t believe this just read the Independent newspaper -second half of August- ). Your lawyer there can be more or less efficient but I am sure you can trust him/her. Anyway if in the end you are not very happy with his/her work we can recommend you a good one near Iznalloz ( offices in Granada )
Learn spanish, adapt yourself to the spanish culture and enjoy Spain.

Dear Bun,
I have just spoken to the department of “Urbanismo” in the Ayuntamiento of Iznalloz (Tel: 0034958384051). Currently there isn’t a building licence for this development but it is “en tramite”, i.e. being processed. The drawings, which have already been approved by the College of Architects, are being checked to ensure they meet the Town Hall’s planning regulations and the gentleman I spoke to said there shouldn’t be too much of a delay, assuming all is OK, but he couldn’t give a definite timescale.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards
Terry

Thanks for all your kind comments but really the call only took a few minutes and at 2p a minute that’s not much. Just interested in seeing what is really happening when people have problems.
Am off to Fuerteventura tomorrow on business for 2 to 3 weeks but will log on from time to time.
Good luck everyone.

OK so i have been reading more on this forum as i see about bank guarantees should the lawyer be in receipt of this before first signing and if so should he check with the bank that it is in my name and to be doubly sure is it best for him to send me a copy, So i can check that he is in receipt of it as what i have read on here i think you need to check your lawyer is doing his job ok ❓ , shame really but as i say you can never trust anyone, and yes why dont the spanish goverment clamp down on the buying and selling because surely this is puting people of from buying and in the long term it is bad publicity for them. ❓

Jose Maria Sanchez Alfonso, the lawyer recommended by Mark, would probably know as I believe he is based in Fuengirola. You have to hope he will respond.
From our own experience, I would not trust anyone 100%. You really do need to do your own homework…even though you are paying for “professional” advice. They all want to sell…at any cost…to the buyer. There are no scruples in this game…so it seems !! 👿 -
Hello forum colleagues,
I promise I will do all I can to find out about Forum Real Estate, to be honest I haven’t heard of them , there are hundreds of real estate agencies in Fuengirola and around ! surely it is not an important one and anyway I must confess: estate agents in the area normally hate me and you can gess why ……
I will get back when I have some information, but my advice is if you get a proffesional lawyer in this area you have nothing to fear with any agency or developer.

Focus Marbella, you mean?
Quotes from their website:
“We offer FREE independent legal and mortgage advice prior to purchase of your new home.”
“New development prices increase as more of a development is complete usually the developer also increases their price as more units are sold”
“Making money from an off plan purchase is easy how much? you make depends on the ability of the selling agent to be able to give clear and knowledgeable advice on the correct top investments, Focus Marbella prides itself in having a wealth of knowledge in this area”
So, not much better or worse than other agents in the area. At least choose one with better grammar?
