I am hoping to sell my house on a condominium shortly..and for me it will be the
end of a ' Nightmare ' It all began in 2005 and i have listed numerically the circumstances as to what occurred...up to the present time...
(1) Purchased 2 x houses on condominium in Aracaju through an Agent in UK
who registered his business in Scotland.
(2) When it came to getting my deeds from the builder...the builder says the
Agent hadn't sent the 10,000 reals to get the deeds in my name but he
didn't provide any evidence of this..so 10 of us brits took out a court case
on the builder...who then gave us the 'document' which allows us to get
out deeds individually saving us about 8,000 reals.
(3) When we challenged the Agent in the UK - we couldn't touch him because
he was a Director of a company in Scotland and their laws are different
You Cannot Take a Director of a Scottish Company to Court..so he got
away with about £60,000!!!!
(4) The builder was about 18 months late with the delivery...there was no
fitted kitchen or bathrooms as was promised by the Agent...and so we
entered another court case on the builder for late delivery!!! (still pending)
(5) Due to the fact that the Agent sent the monies over in his companies name
we have no record showing that the money was sent by us into Central
Bank in Brazil....and therefore will not be able to get this money out in our
names as we can't prove that we brought it in....
We bought the properties for £34,000 each....but paid for 'extras'
like extended lounges and balconies...
I paid out a total of £76,000 for both houses....and have spent a
further £2,000 each on putting in fitted kitchen, ceilings, and landscaping
the gardens....
I have just been offered for one of the houses 105,000 reals...which iam
taking just to hurry up and get out of there...I think i will have lost about
£10,000 on each house....
So, my question is when the purchaser (hopefully) gets to the point of
buying my house....WHAT IS MY BEST WAY OF GETTING IT BACK TO THE UK??
