PROPERTY LITIGATION (we handle cases all over Spain)
Joint ownership: If you want out of a joint ownership, the issue can be enforced using the courts. In this case we can perform the work no money up front if needed.

Do you want to claim your deposits back from your builder ?

Has your developer not built the urbanization that they had promised on their publicity after signing deeds on your property?

Have you purchased a property and then found hidden defects not evident when you purchased?

Has your stepmother/stepfather inherited your mothers/father´s property in Spain. You may have a claim against the estate.

We will look into your case and try to reach an out of court settlement with the other party using the courts as last resource. Often the other party will be more prone to a settlement after the case has been initiated. We will be very clear in explaining the possible outcomes of the court case and if possible best and worst case scenarios. We will not be pushing you into a court case we do not believe in, or let you hire us if your expectations are not in line with what we feel can realistically be achieved.

JOINT OWNERSHIP: HOW TO END IT
If you own a property/ies jointly with other people and you have decided that you no longer wish to maintain the joint ownership, we can force the issue , allowing you to either purchase the other share, they purchase your share , or the property sold and the moneys divided. If you are paying all the bills, and the other half is not paying anything, we can sue for the debt, and you may be able to purchase their half very cheaply at auction. Our experience shows that as soon as the other party realises that we can indeed force the issue using the courts, they tend to agree to settle the case , very often in favourable conditions to our clients. Typical scenario: A couple purchases a property in Spain in joint names. The relationship deteriorates. The economically weak partner will wish to sell and the other party claims that he/she will only pay a ridiculously low amount for the other half, and that he will not accept any different. The necessity of money sometimes leads the weak partner to accept an unreasonable settlement due to the urgency for money. Please note also that even if one partner put in all the money what matters is what the title deed of purchase says. In these cases we will sometimes work with NO MONEY UPFRONT.

DEPOSITS BACK ON OFF PLAN PURCHASES
IF THE DEVELOPER IS IN BREACH OF CONTRACT (does not complete on time, has problems with building licences or licence of first occupation, has built a property not in accordance with what was offered to you originally etc ) YOU CAN CLAIM YOUR MONEY BACK. The sooner the better, as it important to act before the builders assets disappear.

IF THE BUILDER HAS BREACHED THE SALES CONTRACT , AND YOU HAVE BANK GUARANTEES OR HE HAS ASSET TS THIS IS A GOOD CASE.
We will look at your case and decide if it is worth it for you or not. We can not guarantee a result, but we will do our best for you. We will be realistic about your possibilities and will not push you into initiating a case if we do not think it is worth if for you . We DO charge for initial consultation on these matters. Our fee for a one to two hour consultation to discuss claiming back your deposits on an OFF PLAN is 150 euros. If we consider your case is good, we will prepare a budget in writing (in general we charge in accordance with the guideline of recommended fees established by the law society). At that point their is no obligation to hire us , and is you wish to request a second opinion on your case , we have no problem and will be very happy to discuss with you any contradictory advice that you receive when requesting that second opinion. If after our first meeting and receiving our budget you wish to have a further meeting to discuss any second opinion you may have requested, any points discussed at the first meeting or the budget, we will be happy to organise this for you. (their is NO CHARGE for this second meeting).

IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER:
START CLAIMING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (TODAY). (face the situation as soon as possible. Sit down with us and make a decision . It the decision is to claim the sooner the better).

THE IMPORTANCE OF DECIDING IF TO CLAIM OR NOT. (sometimes this is very clear to us, and others , we ourselves will have doubts, but we will have some insight into your case that you will not have. We will provide you with as much information as possible to help you with the decision). Sometimes we will ask you for a fee to spend time researching if the claim is worth making or not. This fee can sometimes save a lot of money.
