This is the discussion thread for the article Purchasing a Property from a Developer

--

You can employ a lawyer, do all checks and it still goes wrong. We cannot complete the final stage of registration into the land registry because the builder did not obtain a 10 year guarantee. We bought a new house and he is an auto promoter but sold property as a resale. Solicitor did not address this problem at the time and we did not speak sufficient Spanish to understand what was going on and put our trust in our lawyer. He has since made various attempts to obtain the building guarantee retrospectively but this has not been successful. We offered to pay 5, 000 Euros towards costs. We feel our only option now is litigation via another solicitor after 2 years of headache or is there another option?
Kind regards James.
