Fuster & Associates launch legal seminars for ripped-off Brits wanting to reclaim Spanish property deposits
- Spanish legal experts Fuster & Associates open in the UK to help Brits recover off plan deposits
- ‘No Win, No Fee Off-Plan Deposit Reclaim’ seminars to be held in Cambridge, London, Birmingham & Manchester
- ‘If it wasn’t for them I have no doubt we’d still have not received the amount we have’ (Gillian Shackshaft, client of Fuster & Associates)
After the crash of 2008, many Brits who had put down a deposit for their dream Spanish property suddenly found themselves with no house and no help. And it wasn’t until December 2015, some 8 years later, that an element of hope was restored when the Spanish High Court ruled that Spain’s banks were liable to refund deposits placed on unfinished properties that were paid from their accounts.
Having now won over 100 cases, Spanish legal specialists Fuster & Associates provide international clients with a No Win, No Fee Off-Plan Deposit Reclaim service, managing their claim throughout the process. With 65 claim cases currently awaiting a verdict, it seems that Brits were among those most affected by the crash and are still determined to reclaim the money subsequently lost.
In order to provide a more personal service and hold face-to-face meetings with those wanting to recover their off-plan deposits, Fuster & Associates have opened in the UK. The experienced company are also preparing to host a selection of exclusive seminars that will allow Brits to meet the team of expert lawyers and ask any questions they have regarding the reclaim process.
Founder David Fuster explains more,
“With the majority of our clients based here in the UK, it was important for us to be able to offer advice and guidance in person throughout the legal procedure. Holding seminars in Cambridge, London, Birmingham and Manchester will provide people with the opportunity to ask any questions they may have about the service after having waited over 8 years for the chance to recover their lost funds.”
One couple who Fuster & Associates have successfully helped reclaim their deposit money are incredibly grateful and are now hoping to put the whole ordeal behind them. Gillian Shackshaft and her husband first bought their Spanish off-plan property in 2006 on their dream development in the Almeria region located in southern Spain.
Unfortunately their plans began to unravel quickly and in December 2006 their contract allowed them to claim back the deposit previously paid as the builders of the development were in breach of contract. However, after seeking the help of Fuster & Associates they discovered that they could only recover a portion of the deposit that was covered by the bank guarantee.
It was then that the long legal process began, with the expertise of Fuster & Associates, to reclaim the rest of their initial deposit. The stress of the experience caused Gillian’s husband to suffer a heart attack in 2009 and she is thankful to Fuster & Associates for their patience and understanding during this time.
She comments,
“It has taken 10 years to get all our money back and throughout this whole, long process they have been there with us, if it wasn’t for them I’d have no doubt we would still have not received the amount we have. I have to say a special thank you to Jose at Fuster & Associates who has been very patient with me as it’s been a stressful and extremely worrying period.
“I would definitely recommend Fuster & Associates to family, to friends and to anyone who is unfortunate enough to find themselves in the situation that we were in.”
