Cajasur - account charges for dormant account

Has anyone heard any news about Cortijo or about our friendly developer?

Hi Rob,

I´m in Spain now and have been to the sales office and spoken to Marcus. Of course, I also went to the site and had a look round. I also took some photos, which i will post up here when i get back next week.

Anyway, I think this is good news at last! I was expecting very little change on the site since i was last there 12 months ago, but things have moved on, although pretty slowly I suppose. Blocks D1 and D2 now seem to be complete, at least on the outside, but I am going to the site tomorrow and I´m determined to get into the apartments to check out the interior. I don´t care if i have to bribe the security guard to get in! I will also take some photos and post them up here.

The area in front of the D blocks has been significantly cleared - maybe in preparation of putting in the pool or simply that material has actually been used up. However, I only saw  couple of workmen and no plant/machinery other than 3 or 4 cranes, maybe there were many more beavering away inside (LOL!). Besides, it can only be the inside that they´re working on.

The problem blocks that are holding the site up (B1,2 & 3) haven´t had any work done to them as far as I can see, but we all expected that.

However, the very good news (if someone can confirm this) is that the C block has been erected upto (i think) 3 floors. I´m pretty sure that this only had ´footings´ last time I was here.

Marcus in the office said he expects 12-18 months for completion (but doesn´t he always? haha!). But it does seem very likely because as soon as the planning issue has been resolved with the Junta De Andalucia (btw, does anyone have a name and contact in that office?) then work can quickly recommence on the aforementioned blocks.

So, overall I came away extremely happy and positive about the prospect of it being completed, as I´m sure the photos i post up will convince most people on here too.

Anyway, I´ll get some more photos of areas i couldn´t see last time and also from the inside,

Hope thats enough for you for now,

Faz

Thank you very much for that Faz, I thought that everyone had completely lost interest in proceedings! 

I haven't been out for two years so it will be interesting to see what progress has been made. I keep expecting to find out that Aifos have gone bust but it seems to be keeping it's head above water at the moment. Thanks again.

Check out the new photos!

The Chairman of the local Residents Association of Torreblanca has received official confirmation from both the Junta and the Defensor del Pueblo that the Aifos development at Cortijo has now been officially paralysed 
and is " sub judicea".

Presumably this means that nothing will happen for absolutely ages. Spain doesn't have two bands of red (tape) on its national flag for nothing !!!!!

When was that?

Well, it has taken aifos six years to get to this point with Cortijo, but knowing spanish 'red tape', as you obviously do, you do realise of course it'll take another twenty to knock it all down. Enjoy the views.
