To be honest that is my next move. The agent has asked that we give them til the end of this week to speak with the lawyer - I am now not holding much hope on this front as the lawyer is soooo difficult to get hold of - especially when he's in Egpyt (as he is now) and not in the UK.
The developer told us that they need to refund back to the lawyer as they dont have proof of who I am over the phone or via email - which i can totally understand. They did say that they would refund if we went over to Egypt directly to us on production of passports etc. Only thing is i amnow sceptical that this will happen when we get over to Egypt.....
Only problem then is the developer only has £14448 of the £18,060 the other£3612 has been paid to the agent in commission (which is ridiculous when the deal has never been done) and now they are putting the ball inthe lawyers court saying its negligence on his part and he is responsible for refunding the money to us and then he should pursue them for recovery..... madness.
My view at the moment is get back what we can from wherever we can and then at least the figure of £18060 is decreasing.... its turning into more of a damage limitation exercise than anything at the moment!
