Commuting from the UK.....anyone doing it?

Oh sorry about that, a wasted trip then?

If by blocks 1-8 you mean door numbers, then when we were there at Xmas (we own in La Mirada, adjacent to El rincon), there was people moved in on the 2nd floor.

Thanks FibbyUK. No I meant actual blocks 1 to 8 and each block has either 6 or 8 apartments, according to whether there are actual ground floor apartments or covered car spaces in each block.  I haven't seen any of this but getting the info from my boyfriend.  Can anybody add to this?

Our signing date in january was cancelled too. Solicitors are waiting for the builders to recieve a residency certificate from the town hall. This is due on the 13th feb, signings should be being re-arranged for after this date.

We were told by our agent that all the licences were arranged at the same time for all the apartments, it appears this is not the case as some people have already completed. Does anyone know (or could you find out when you complete) what the actual position is.

Thanks

Hello to everyone buying an apartment in El Rincon. We have a contract sign date for 30 March 2007 for phase 2 but judging from everyone's posts, it would seem more likely that this will be delayed and may be nearer to May / June time (just a guess). I know that we get a builders bank guarantee but can someone who has already signed confirm that the builders (Gomendio) have legally purchased the land & that it is indeed approved (urbanised) building land? I feel fairly confident that everything will be ok as the construction is in a well established location and I would think less likely to be "grabbed" and redeveloped or flattened because of illegal licencing activities.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I hope your purchases are going ok and that you will all be getting your completion dates soon.now.

I hope to get back to Spain in the next few weeks, so can give you some updated photos hopefully, as it all depends on an operation date that I am waiting for.

Some of you have asked if I knew anyone locally who does cleaning, handovers, key holding etc., and I promised I would get back with some contacts for you.

I have that info now, so if you would like to PM me, I will give you full details.

I can't display them on this forum as Justin won't allow commercial adverts which is quite correct.

Kind regards

we are in the same position, solicitors have refused to organise a new signing date until they have sight of the paperwork from the town hall.

Out of interest has anyone viewing this message board completed recently on phase 1 and/or has anyone been given any dates for phase 2 completion and if so by who ? ( the builder / your agent / next doors cat / drunk man at the end of the bar ?)

Thanks and good luck to all those that are still waiting to complete.

what you say, ties in with what we were told by our solicitors that we won't be able to sign until after 13th Feb !

Hi Everyone, I will be visiting my apartment in La Mirada on Thursday 15th Feb (opposite El Rincon), I will take some photos and email to anyone who is interested.  Let me know which area's you need.

All,

Hello- This is my first post after stubbling across this site today.

We, like many of you are ment to be buying an appartment in El Rincon from Gomendio (bunch of muppets).

I've skimmed through some of the posts and braodly speaking it seems we are in the same situation:

Sent letters in Dec 06 (i think) from the builder with English translations asking us to select a signing date with a Notary. Dates covered January and Feb 07. We had to reply within 20 days and choose 15th Feb.

Like many of you we made all travel, car hire and accommodation arrangement in advance. A couple of weeks ago there was some confusion as the builder had apparently said we couldn't complete to our solicitors. Our daft solicitor then sent us a message saying there was a problem which ment we couldn't complete until AFTER the 13th Feb. We replied back saying that our signing WAS after the 13th Feb. Then the solicitor confirmed all was ok.

Soon after when I contacted my solicitor again to make sure all was OK, I was told that completion was not possible. The reason being was that the town hall had not provided the habitation certificate.

This really gets my goat as it seems clear that Gomendio has got everyone to make their arrangements knowing full well that they don't have the documents in place to actually complete! I raised this with some person in the Madrid office (Mr Jose Maria Coleno) only to be spoken to like I was some 10 year-old. He claims that the letter sent last year was to arrange a "preview" and not necessarily a signing. I've pointed out THEIR English translation doesn't even mention the word "preview". Of course Gomendio accepts NO responsibility whatsoever and refuse to compensate our expenses.

Very frustrated. Flying out to inspect anyway tomorrow.
