In 2006 we put down a deposit on a off plan apartment in Almerimar. It was due to be completed by Feb 2008 but wasn't in fact completed until about September 2008. When we were asked to arrange our mortgage the credit crunch had taken hold and we found due to the value of the pound against the euro and the interest rate rise, we could no longer afford a mortgage on our income. We informed the developers and in fact signed away our 60,000 euro deposit. The developer is now talking of sueing us for non-completion and is threatening to seize our UK assets. My question is - can a Spanish Developer force us to sell our house in the UK - which is mortgaged (to put down the 60,000 euro deposit) in order to complete on the property even though in the current climate we cannot get a mortgage to cover the rest of what we owe. Many thanks
