San José buyers face anxious wait
By Nuria Pérez
Jumilla town hall has issued warnings to the builders of Santa Ana del Monte resort as deadlines to construct infrastructure, expropriate land and design plots are due to expire in the coming months.
According to Fina Torres, chief of Jumilla town hall legal department, the board of compensation has not paid the 4.6 million euros for the land which has to be expropriated and they have done nothing since February, 2008.
"The building plan has been definitely approved by the authorities, the land has been turned into building land and the scheme has been temporarily stopped, not cancelled," Sra Torres added.
"Our duty is to state that several parts were due to expire and to find a solution.
"If the board of compensation is unable to manage the expropriations and we do not reach agreement with the board, we will have to find a way to manage it."
The board of compensation is managed mainly by Herrada del Tollo - a sister company of Grupo San José - and they are in voluntary suspension of payments.
Grupo San José sales manager Almudena Rodríguez told CBNews they were fighting to finance the expropriation, but it was difficult due to the voluntary suspension of payments.
