Lets work together

 

Dear Corvera owners, I have been an owner since 2005, and like a lot of you have read through this forum about people’s excitement, hopes, frustrations and concerns about our investments over the last few years.

Some people are really exited about moving into heir new homes and are accepting that the resort will not be ready from day one; some are investors rightly concerned that the promises of the Devere hotel, shops and leisure facilities are still empty plots of land.
According to Corvera some of the units will be ready for completion in May 09 or is that December?, and owners have started to receive offers of air conditioning and completion services by the developer. It seems to me we have at this time a fairly short window of opportunity as a group to influence how Corvera will turn out and tackle some of the issues raised by us all.
Things such as -

A)    Addressing some of the concerns we have with the developer. We could communicate with Calidona as a group about the delays with the resort and lack of facilities, and as a group may have a much better chance - and the power to force them to act for our benefit.

B)     A number of owners have also made great suggestions about collective purchasing of air conditioning and furniture packs. We could use our purchasing power to obtain the best deals for air conditioning, furniture and a range of other services

C)    Influencing the management and ongoing quality of the resort.

 What I am proposing is something like an owners club. This would require a core committee (say 6 -10 people) who would represent the group and collectively drive the above topics and other requirements forward for the group. I see communication as the key to making this successful, but I'm sure with the use of forums, email distribution lists and conference calls this is our best chance of making Corvera the quality resort we all want.
If enough owners agree with me let’s try and get it started. If anyone has experience of running such clubs please come forward with your advice. I’m willing to do some of the work getting it started. If you want to try and get this going drop me a mail with your email details to andy.white1@virgin.net. And I will create a circulation list . If you feel passionately enough about this to want to be a committee member please express your interest.

Finally I had better confirm that I have no connections with Corvera (apart from being an owner), or any sales or service organisations either here in the UK or Spain.

 Regards,

 Andy.

Hi Andy and all Corvereans,

Well, I must apologise Andy because I had not seen your well-balance message before launching into my own suggestion which is devastatingly similar in concept and proposal to that only just now suggested by me!

I must say that I am delighted and heartened to see that others feel the same way and I sincerely trust that you share my sense of urgency.... NOT panic!

I'll not take up more space but thanks again Andy, let's wait to see what happens next.

With best regards to all,

John/Fizzler

We too ( my sister and I) have been owners on phase 1 since 2005 and would welcome the opportunity to join in a legal reprsentation to Calidona regarding the completion of the amenities and facilities at Corvera. We would be quite willing to contribute towards the costs of such an action.

Hello PauC,

Good to hear from you.

Have you seen all the much later comments which have been posted under the thread "Walking away"?

That's where most of the activity has been since it began and has moved on a long way.

Do go onto that thread where you can catch up and maybe send a one liner to repeat you message as you'll then join everyone else.

All the best,

John/Fizzler
