[James]

i paid 19000Euro deposit for the off plan construction of a villa in Almeria about two years ago it now turns out that the villa cant be built because the land is rustic . The company refuse to refund my deposit . What can I do to get my money back.

Dear Sir,

Please scan and emails us a copy of your Private Purchase Contract and we will advice.

Many foreigners don't realise that buying and building on rustic land is fraught with risks. It takes the advice of a good lawyer to help you avoid the associated pitfalls which are numerous.
