Petition Summary
Thousands of Off-Plan purchasers in Spain were not provided
with the
legally
required Bank Guarantees and in many cases where
Bank Guarantees were
issued
the Banks & Savings Banks are now refusing to honour them.
Off-plan
purchasers are the innocent victims
in a trail of lies, deception,
negligence, lack of due diligence and complete lack of
control
within the
real estate sector.
The ultimate responsibility lies
with
Sr. Rajoy and the
Banco de España for their failure to adequately and effectively
supervise the Banks
& Savings Banks who are the guardians of
LEY 57/68 and who were
the 'vehicle' through which the illegalities
were allowed to operate.
This is a
serious public order matter and we demand that the
Banco de
España
and Spanish
Government act immediately
to ensure that:
1. Any purchaser not provided
with the legally required Bank
Guarantee is
refunded
immediately in accordance
with LEY 57/68
2. Any purchaser in possession of a Bank Guarantee, where the
developer has clearly defaulted on the contract, is able to
execute the Bank
Guarantee,
in accordance with LEY 57/68,
without the need for litigation
3. 'Fast
Track' specialised courts and an official Ombudsman
be established to deal specifically with claims relating
to
Off-Plan deposits, Bank Guarantees and
the implementation of LEY 57/68
4. The
Spanish Government and
Banco de España must immediately
set
up a fund to underwrite the refunds on all Bank Guarantee cases
5. The Spanish Government and Banco de España
must act now to ensure the abuse
being suffered by innocent
off-plan purchasers
in Spain is ended immediately
and that it is never allowed
to happen again.
If the Banco de España and Spanish Government fail to act
within defined timescales
on the above
issues then we ask the European
Parliament and
European
Commission to
take firm and effective action
demanding that these
very serious financial
illegalities are addressed
as a matter of extreme urgency.
