You have bought a flat in Morocco and eventually the complex is ready for it to be let. Speaking French but little Arabic, you go out to furnish and prepare it.
Do you
a)spend the available week asking taxi drivers, passers by or the town hall (because you do not have Moroccan friends) for names of relaible builders willing to do a few hours work with no notice, speak to them and bargain a price having asked to see an example of their work elsewhere. Wait til the plaster has dried an rejoice that you have resisted blackmail. Oh bother , the flat still lacks furniture and anything else.
or
b) Hand over the ransom £400.00, get the flat set up, warn other people ?

To be fair, the complex is in a delightful place, ideally placed for golf, water park, riding, nearby restaurants, Marjane,golden beach (though not on the front line) etc. That is why it is a pity there are shortcomings - why spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar?
I bought at the beginning through English lawyers who decided not to go on doing business with Compass, then Compass switched to Canadian lawyers.
