Hi all,
We are helping many buyers against a number of developers in Saïdia by taking legal action for many different justified reasons.
So far we have 20 succesful cases to our credit against two of the main players there. We are using a number of different lawyers based in Spain and in Morocco.
We have come to the conclusion that seeking a refund of any deposits paid is simply impossible as far a Saïdia is concerned. To be fair to Addoha they are indeed offering some people certain discounts to complete but this is not as straight forward as it seems because on many occassions the building work is simply not up to standard.
There are cases where the developer has gone bust and the only possibility for clients there is to aim for a legal block (embargoe) on the property as a safeguard against any future movements, for example reposession. I have to say that this is not the case with Exelia/Fadesa/Addoha.
To be crystal clear from the outset the taking of legal action requires depositing a provision of funds with the lawyers. This depends on the complexities of the case. Many buyers do not want to spend a further cent and on their "investments" and that's fully understandable.
Furthermore, legal action is not 100% foolproof although we have all the legal documentation on the different plots and the outcome is highly probable. Moroccan Courts seem to work quite efficiently here, again to be objective and fair.
Again, I'm talking about Saïdia here but I should think the scenario would be very similiar at Alkudia Smir. I know court action is the last resort whatever way you look at it but what are the alternatives?
I will be pleased to answer any questions you may have here in the forum or by PM and... for free.
Regards
Pepe
