      3 weeks ago I make an offer on a property owned by Caixa Catalunya via an agent who is advertising the property.
      At the same time, I ask about the morgage conditions at a branch of the same bank.

      2 days ago the bank employee handling my morgage request tells me,
      all the properties are sold to the Kennedy Wilson group.
      It is not clear whats next.
      The agent doesnt know anything more.

      Has anyone had a similar experience,
      where you lost your opportunity to an investment group?
      Is there a way to still buy the property?

      I’m not angry at the investment groups making their move,
      I just would like to know if there is still a chance to buy the place.

      I think they are an auction group so you can probably buy the properties from their auction site (when they become available).

      I guess you could try contacting KW directly as well.

      It is not incredible that a simple thing like an Auction had to be organised by a foreign Company. Spaniards cannot even do this in their own country. What hope the economy has to improvise ?

      KW are in the process of buying the real estate division of CX, but not the properties, which belong to the bad bank, or at least most of them do.

      I bet you neither the agent not the branch have a clue what’s going on. I’ll ask the sales director of CX next time I talk to him.

      Mark, thank you for your comment.
      Absolutely right. Neither me, the branch or the agent have any clue about availability, price or sales process.
      Inside information seems to be the onlyway forward, I ve been knocking on some doors but no more info so far.
