Hi, some time ago my partner and I purchased 2properties off-plan (jardin tropical), went through all proper channels, so called reputable lawyer, signed bank guarantees etc, then came the the bombshell, developers gone bankrupt, obviously not best pleased but we have the bank guarantees, it then transpires that they too have gone bankrupt. All the lawyer says is sorry, don't guarantees mean exactly that. I now find out that the company who the guarantees were from were on the list of companies un-authorised to operate in spain. We appear to have lost 100000 euros? surely someone must accept responsibility. john cleasby
