Quick Answer — Recovering Off-Plan Deposits in Spain
For more than 20 years, CostaLuz Lawyers has specialised in off-plan property litigation and the recovery of buyers’ deposits.
We have acted in over 620 successful claims against Spanish banks and developers and have followed the evolution of the law from Ley 57/1968 through the landmark Supreme Court judgments and the later reforms introduced by Law 20/2015 and the Building Act (LOE).
Our team understands not only the legislation itself but also the judicial interpretation, procedural challenges, unresolved legal issues, and developing case law that continue to shape this area of Spanish property law.
Where a developer fails to complete a property, becomes insolvent, or fails to provide the required guarantees, buyers may still have strong claims against developers, guarantor banks, insurance companies, or the banks that received their deposits.
