Utilities

Hi All,

Can anyone out there tell me, do we pay a standing charge for our electricity and water,
or are we charged only for usage ?

Also regarding television if we decided not to subscibe to Sky / Satellite television would we be able to view any english speaking channels at all and would we have to fit an outside arial.

Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes you will pay a monthly standing charge for water and electricity and then useage

No you cannot received any english channels unless you havve a dish but you do not need to subscribe to Sky to get BBC and ITV,  you just need a big enough dish

Hi Sands11.43

Does this mean you are in block 11 , 43 and if so are you in or ready to move in? I am not aware that any houses in block M11 have been released and unfortunately the members of this site all seem to be the ones living in and quite happy, Perhaps now there should be another site for SierraGolf which is about the 'Development Off Plan Site' as the issues for those not on Sierra Golf are very different from the ones, playing golf and worried about their TV stations etc.  

For those who have not moved on and still wait daily for word from MASA or our agents (who have not contacted us for over 12 months) it is a very worrying and traumatic time and maybe we should be starting a new site to support each other with practical advice about any progress. I just cannot believe that Sierra Golf is standing there with one half a thriving community enjoying their lifestyle, enjoying each others company etc etc and the other half of the development which has been completed for over 2 years just standing there waiting .................................. for what?  

On the old support site, daily messages would be saying, 

What are we waiting for?
What is the hold up?
Water
Elec
Permission
Roads

Can anybody help.

Is there anyone out there who would like to start a new site that is for people still asking these questions? I can't believe we are the only ones in this position .... ARE WE?????

Hi M11 Block

I completely understand your frustrations with the lack of information from Masa.  We have all had the same concerns as you.
Those of us who are now resident have suffered the same concerns and frusatrations but are now living our lives with a whole new set such as no legal TV etc and I can see how these may seem insignificant to you.  
On a positive note we are proof that you will move in eventually!

On your suggestion of a separate site all I can say is this is your site too, Start new threads on your own topics to open new forums with people with similar problems.  Yes, old hands will still chip in with support and help but you are the master of your own fate. Just start a new debate to get others with your plight involved and if nothing else vent your frustrations

In the meantime keep the faith, bug MASA and your agents/ solicitors and visit when you can.

Hi M11 Block,

I am sorry that my name (SandS11.43) may be misleading you to believe that we have completed on our property on M11.We had originally purchased our property on M11.43 but after 2 years of experiencing exactly what you are going through i.e no communication from Masa for months on end,no help,no co-operation,no nothing, and also absolutetly no indication of when the poligono would be released, we were offered a swap to a similar property on M15.49 which we accepted and have just recently completed on.Admittedly the swap wasn't exactly a like for like swap as we originally had a corner plot on M11 but having said that we are more than happy with our alternative property.The swap was a fairly straightforward matter with only a couple of minor inconveniences.Going on our experience I would suggest it may be something you wish to consider and we are certainly glad we did it.I have tried to change my identity from SandS11.43 to SandS15.49 but am unable to do so and I apologise for any confusion this may have caused.

Best of luck to all waiting for their properties to be released and from a personal point of view I can certainly say it's well worth the wait.

Hi Sands,

We are your next door neighbours at number 49. It's great to know someone else is moving into our little area, there is only a few villas left there now. If I can be of any help contact me with a private message.
