We bought a Villa in Albox from what we believed was a reputable company - ##company names removed to save litigation##.

We purchased the Villa 3 years ago and we were guaranteed by the solicitor and the Builder that it was 100% legal. It's a familiar story where the local authority have approved the building of property on Rustic land and then the State have deemed it illegal. On the development where our house resides there are over 40 Villas which have been bought by a whole raft of intelligent people including ex Chief Inspectors, Lawyers etc.

We are now in the situation where our life savings are tied up in a property that will likely
never be legal and we will never be able to sell or recoupe the money.
