Dear Callal,

Touristic apartments dont follow the rules as regular apartments do. For a start, they are not considered to be first nor even second homes. Secondly, the dont have license of occupancy but opening license and that in Andalucia, new regulations are in place as from April 2010.

With regards to your rights of cancellation and effective refund of your deposit, these are going to be affected by a number of variables which include your timely cancellation and overall financial situation of the developer (availability of liquid funds and outstanding mortgage capital on your proper, as well as other charges registered against the property).

You can contact me directly on my email afloresATlawbirdDOTcom to discuss further.
