A VICTORY for mortgage owners been awarded by the European has Court of Justice. The court has ruled that two million mortgage holders in Spain are entitled to additional refunds from the banks because they paid too much interest. It came due to the so-called ‘floor clauses’ that saw most Spanish banks fail to lower their interest rates to rowers to match the base rate setborby the European Central Bank. The court ruled that it was unfair that repayments should cover and entire life of the mortgage during the time that interest rates were low the and continue to be. When the central bank base rate was lowered to stimulate the eurozone economy some years ago, mortgage repayments should have tracked it to 1.5% to 2%, however many borrowers continued to pay 3.5% and more. The surprise ruling is final and cannot be appealed. Around two million borrowers should now be set to receive repayments, estimated to be worth billions of euros.

BRITISH expats are on a buy-to-let spree in London and the south east of England. According to mortgage lender Skipton International there has been a significant rise in expat investment over recent years. New figures reveal 40% of expats’ to-lets are in the UK capital, while buy25% are in the pricey south east. “Prices in London have increased significantly in the past few years, meaning that capital gains have been very attractive for investors,” said Skipton mortgage director Nigel Pascoe. “Expats have many reasons for investing and long term investment is usually the most important.” The trend has occurred as it has come easier to secure lending for bepats, who previously struggled exwith credit checks and recent credit history. Some 35% of expats cited long term vestment as their main reason for ining, while another 19% said it was buypart of their pension plan.

Bracing for Brexit
THERESA May has vowed Britain won’t accept a ‘half in, half out’ Brexit in a landmark speech that is likely to have long-lasting effects on Gibraltar and all expats in Spain. The Prime Minister issued a 12-point plan to take Britain out of the EU, with Downing Street looking to scrap EU single market and current customs union access. In the biggest speech of her sixmonth tenure, she said: “To be clear, what I am proposing cannot mean membership of the single market.” She added Britain would no longer give ‘huge sums’ to the EU, however she conceded that Parliament will have the final vote on the deal. Maintaining the common travel area between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland is also a priority during the Brexit negotiations. However, the border of Gibraltar with Spain was not mentioned.

SLAUGHTER ssly Expat’s rescue animals mercile killed over ‘hunting row’
EXCLUSIVE By Gabrielle Pickard-Whitehead and Laurence Dollimore
A BRITISH expat has called in police in after finding five of her dogs executed a late-night massacre. The Guardia Civil are now investigating the horrific attack that also left one of Illona Mitchell’s horses with its eye gouged out. The detectives from the environment section Seprona told Mitchell, 48, that it was one of the worst attacks they had seen and were visibly shocked by it. They have put on extra patrols to keep at an eye on the estate at weekends and night. “I am sickened as to why someone would carry out such a cruel and barbaric attack on innocent, defenceless animals,” she told the Olive Press this
“We want to control our immigration from the EU,” said May. “We also recognise the importance of the brightest and the best coming here. We recognise the contribution they have made.” May is believed to favour a workpermit system as she looks to trigger Article 50 by March. It comes as the House of Lords published data showing a border closure with Spain would put 40% of jobs at risk in Gibraltar. The 32 page-report, based on Gibraltar government evidence, estimates 10,500 of the Rock’s 26,000 workers crossed the border daily. “A frontier which lacked the necessary fluidity would therefore put directly at risk the jobs of 40% of the Gibraltar workforce,” said a spokesman. May’s speech was cheered by Leave campaigners, who are pushing for a ‘hard’ Brexit. She said:“We do not seek to adopt a model already enjoyed by other countries. We do not seek to hold on to bits of membership as we leave,” said May. “The British people voted for change. And it is the government’s job to deliver it.”

GARETH Bale’s future at Real Madrid could be put in jeopardy once the UK pulls out of the EU. The Welsh wizard is now being urged to support a battle to give expats in Spain joint nationality by the Spanish government. If not, he would become classified a non-EU player and Real already have three players in that category. He would either have to be sold, or Real would need to unload one of trio James Rodriguez, Casemiro or Danilo. To avoid this, British journalist Giles Tremlett is calling on Bale to join his battle to give expats joint nationality.
Battle
The Madrid-based Guardian writer is lobbying for Brits in Spain to be given Spanish nationality. Tremlett is meeting with Spanish constitutional lawyers this week to create a draft law for his joint-nationality plan, which he will take to Spain’s central and regional parliaments. “Bale’s situation is just another of the messes imposed on UK citizens resident in Spain by Brexit,” he told the Olive Press, this week. “The Spanish government could fix this with an act of generosity by offering Brits installed here prior to Brexit Continues on Page 8

had actually taken out a €95,000 mortgage in his name and pocketed the money. “He set up a bank account with Bankinter under my name and transferred the money to himself. “My age, passport number and address were all wrong, how can a bank do that? It’s unbelievable.” Maseda initially began sending Malone money, claiming it was from tenants, but then it dried up. When the Londoner began questioning Maseda in 2007, he was nowhere to be found. “He literally disappeared off the face of the earth, he’s a real piece of work.”
Battle
Malone began his legal battle the following year and has been chasing Maseda ever since.
While he declared himself bankrupt and unable to pay some years back the court has ordered him to pay €95,000 mortgage as well legal costs or face jail time. Malone, who owns a Telecommunications company in London, is hoping other victims will follow his lead. “He should spend the rest of his years in prison, he deserves it,” he added. At least 45 victims have pursued him in the courts, but there could be up to 200 victims, estimate lawyers. While the amounts stolen are around at least €1.4 million, the actual figure could be far higher. Opinion Page 6

Leslie and Paul Dunt are desperately hunting for somewhere to live for themselves and their 17 rescue dogs after being thrown out of their home in Coin.

RUGBY star Dean Schofield is urging action after being mauled in a sophisticated holiday shakedown. Wasps international Dean (above) and wife Gemma, both 38, were set to take a dream break to Spain with friends to celebrate the England international’s retirement. But the vacation turned into a nightmare after the group of 16 from Cheshire unwittingly booked via a fraudulent holiday website that has dozens of homes on the Costa del Sol. In total, scammers took payment and deposit of €5,700 €11,400 and (£5,000) (£10,000) respectively before swiping another €29,800 (£26,000) for their stunning villa in Mallorca, which is owned by a wealthy British owner.

T is 30 years ago this Spring that two British teachers left their steady jobs in UK primary schools to make a living in Spain with a couple of friends. Despite having no experience of the hospitality trade, they decided to convert a run-down watermill in rural Ronda into a small hotel. Fast forward three decades Andy Chapell and Pauline Elkin run one of Spain’s most successful small hotels, Molino del Santo, employing 25 people and accommodating thousands of guests each year. But, it has certainly been something of an emotional rollercoaster with plenty of hiccups and unusual goings on along the way, as the pair reveal:
It’s not a fantastic start as our shoestring budget only allows for seven rooms which, being Andalucia, are not open in time. Delayed by a week, guests have to be accommodated in alternative hotels

With the season in full flow, local police arrive demanding paperwork which it is virtually impossible to obtain. Threats of immediate deportation are only prevented by legal intervention.
