I suspect that just like in UK it will be difficult getting one lawyer to approach another on this sort of issue.

What has the lawyer told you about the money - has it been paid to the developer or not.

Have you paid any fees due to the lawyer yet, otherwise they will hold your money until paid I bet.

One of my owners used a lawyer in Hurghada and it was a bit hard work and expensive, good result in the end.

Just proves my point about who to trust - someone that is in the UK that you can meet and "take a view on" or someone else, even if it is a lawyer

Any deposits for my apartments are paid to me and any refunds will be paid promptly in accordance with the terms of the agreement, by me in the UK.
