Hi everyone

We completed on Jardins 13 last week by POA, and we are not due out to see our new apartment until 3rd week September.
Our apartment is the 2 bed upstairs one, and we would like some actual room sizes now that some of you lucky people haved moved in. We want to get a feel for what furniture is practical, room layouts etc.

Thanks

Steve & Margo

Hi Steve & Margo 

Welcome to the forum!  If you go on the Condado de Alhama development forum there is alot more info for you too.

Here is some information that another Jackie posted after their visit to snag their 3 bed in June hope it helps she copied and pasted it below. 

I know it is a 3 bed but most of it is the same and It has helped me.



Hi All

A little further information from our recent visit which mat assist:-

Full postal address of Condado as follows:-

Jardines de Alhama (or whichever phase you are on)
Jardine ??; percela (apartment number)
Condado de Alhama
Ctra Mazarron Km 33
30840 Alhama - Murcia
Espana

Electrical goods seemed to me to be best from Carrefour Hypermarket, Murcia I got the following prices for stainless steel goods (not just silver coloured they were cheaper) as follows:-

Dishwasher - make Icecool - 279 euros AAB rating
Washing Machine - make Samsung A rating 299 euros
Fridge Freezer - make bluesky 499 euros A rating
Microwave - Make Horno 119 euros
Flat screen TV - make LG 32 inch all singing all dancing 599 euros

All of the above were on special offer at the time but I think it is a store that constantly has offers on different items.

Stainless steel pack from Polaris (fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave) 2315 euros
Silver pack as above 1708.67 euros
White pack as above 1382.72 euros 5% discount was offered to me on these packs

Lights on the 3 bed apartment:-

3 outside lights (2 front, 1 back)
2 lights in the living area
1 light kitchen area
1 light hallway
1 light in small bedroom (bedroom 3)
2 lights in each of bedrooms 1 and 2
2 lights in bathroom (one of them was above the sink but from the ceiling not the wall for a light above a mirror I suppose)

Measurements for various items:-

Dishwasher or washing machine space in the kitchen 600 deep 600 wide 875 height
Fridge freezer space 600 deep 625 wide 1870 height
Washing machine space on rear patio 26 in wide 36 in high depth not really an issue

Livingroom floor measurements from patio windows to kitchen counter 149 in from side wall to edge of kitchen counter 8 ft (sorry forgot to write down the additional width from the end of the counter to the other wall - guess at approx 2 1/2 to 3 ft)

Bedroom 1 106 in x 118 in
Bedroom 2 119in x 92 in
Bedroom 3 79 in x122 in

Inside of the wardrobe should you wish to put drawers in 20 deep x 40 wide (just measure half of the wardrobe)

I did measure the windows for curtains but it all depends where you should want to put the curtain poles etc as above the window frame is plastic housing where the outside blinds are:-

The front patio window was 7 ft x 6 ft 2 in wide
All the bedroom windows measure the same I have measured from above the plastic housing which is where I plan on putting my curtain poles but this is obviously personal choice 54 in H x 54 in W
Bedroom patio window 92 in H x 74 in W

Sorry for the mish mash of old and new measurments I still work in feet and inches when I can !!!!

When we went into homesyle there were more staff than customers but it was later in the day. The guy could speak excellent English and was extremely helpful even when I messed him about a little he just smiled and carried on. What I didn't get my head around at first ,which may assist you, is that I didn't want all the items in the furniture pack as the apartment would have been far too cluttered. He basically said that I could swap and change anything I wanted however once you break the pack the items are priced individually and therefore a hell of a lot dearer. If you take tha furniture pack complete as it was you also get a discount as you are buying one of their properties (10%) 5% on the white goods pack (although you can get these items cheaper), then the silly thing is it is worth it to just throw the items you don't want in the skip...!! or sell them to a neighbour.... It's mad really, my furniture pack was exactly 4000 euros delivered, unpacked, fixed and fitted and the rubbish taken away. Works out at about £3,360 at today's exchange rate and for that we got the following:-

4 single beds (which zip together should you want doubles) Including mattresses and headboard for each bed
Bedside Cabinets
Bedside lamps
Pillows
Dining table and 4 chairs which extends to a fair sized table would easily seat 6 (this is going on the back patio as too big for apartment)
Large mirror and shelf
Double bed settee and armchair for living room (bed settee is a 2 1/2 seater settee)
Large coffee table
small coffee table
table lamp
2 x tv units
1 Wall unit (glass fronted)

Beds seems to be dearer to buy in Spain compared to the UK, at the end of the day I was happy with what I have ordered and all the hassle taken away.

Hope this helps

Jackie and Andy ;)

Thanks Scapa

We are going to have a look at some furniture packs at Villapacs showroom in sunny Bolton, so wanted an idea of sizes etc.
I have tried scaling off the plans but I can't see this being very accurate.

Will let you know how we get on.

Welcome to J13 Plumbob.  I have an excel file with the 3 main room measurements that I would be happy to share - don't think I can post it but if you pm me your email I will send it to you.

I am also on J13 - am out on 25th September, so if you are still around maybe see you then.

Ted

We were attended to by Tamie, lovely girl. Very helpful and not at all pushy. Gave us a good idea of prices and quality. We are expecting a 3D plan of the furniture we we interested in which would allow us a virtual tour of the rooms. We said that we would like to see the apartment before deciding anything, which she was quite happy with. We are going out there later this month so it will be great to see it all in the flesh so to speak.
Hope we some of you guys there.

Steve & Margo

Hi Jayne Louise

Had not heard of villapac but have just been on their web site following your comments. Did you end up using them? How did they compare price wise to the packs in Spain? Could you alter the packs to your own requirements? How long do they take for delivery?

Thanks
Nicky

Prices started at €7900 for the complete furnishing of a 2 bed 1 bath apartment, this being the Cordoba collection. This includes every thing you need except white goods, but does include 21" TV and DVD player. Also includes 6 piece terrace set. Only 5 flush lights included 'though. This price includes IVA, delivery and installation. Like I said we are waiting until we go over so we can get a feel for the place and also see what is available over there. I would recommend going to Villapac so you have something to compare to before you go over to Spain. Viewing is by appointment only. If you intend to buy from Villapac you can purchase a 5% discount from eyeonspain for 34 Euros, look under tools, furniture discount offer.

Packs can be altered to suit with price adjustment accordingly. Availability is about 4 weeks after date of order.

Good luck

I am wanting to make a voille curtain for the window next to the door. (We have an apartment in Jardin 3, first floor) I plan to fasten it onto a rod at the bottom as well as the top so that it will be taught and not fixed, hence it will not be ever pulled back.
Can anyone tell me what is at the bottom and the top of the window for me to screw into?
