Banks agree to reduced settlements for a variety of reasons:

• The quality of their lending was not up to standard at the time of purchase
• The borrower is suffering financial difficulty.

In Negative Equity / Shortfall Settlement cases we request a retainer fee on account to cover all costs until a settlement is reached. Once a settlement is agreed with your lender our agreed success fee is due. This is fixed and advised from the outset.

In Spanish Deposit reclaims we work on a no win no fee basis. Our fee is 25% of monies recovered.

In every case your fee is clearly outlined from the outset and a Fee Agreement is signed by all parties named on the Debt and an EU Property Solutions representative at the start of works.
