A Malaga court has ordered the developer Grupo Mirador to retun money paid on a property for not having it ready within the stipulated time. The case dates back to February 2003 when the buyer, a British man, signed a contract to buy a property in Fuengirola towards which he paid a total of 35,000 euros in different instalments. The contract specified that the property would be handed over to the buyer within 24 months. When the property was delayed, in 2008 the buyer asked the developer for his money back.
The sentence describes the clause in the contract concerning the timeline as “unacceptable” as it was “ambiguous and imprecise” and orders the developers to return the 35,000 euros as well as to pay costs.
