Spanish consumer litigation

Consumer litigation solicitors

Sometimes things in life don’t quite go to plan, house deposits that aren’t returned, builders not doing what they promised or providing substandard work, and cars or goods that don’t live up to your expectations or the manufacturers promises.

Cultural differences between Spain and the UK mean the people have different levels of tolerance and views as to what can be considered acceptable behaviour. For example, action can be taken in the UK against noisy neighbours however this kind of litigation would never stand in Spain, as ‘over exuberance’ and noise is considered perfectly acceptable, and in some cases an essential companion to having a good time.

Spanish consumer advice

In spite of these cultural differences, consumers in Spain still have rights to recompense if they are unhappy with the goods or services that they buy.

The work we are currently most commonly asked to advise on are the issues surrounding the significant level of property construction and home purchases, including local authorities issuing illegal building licences to property developers, putting both developers and purchasers in a difficult situation.

We are representing groups of clients on this particular issue and are considered by many to be the leader in this field in Spain on these issues.

But whether you have a problem with your ‘man who can’, a builder who can’t or won’t, or can’t get your deposit on your property back, the team at Irwin Mitchell Abogados are able to help.
