Local agents

Hi all,

Have just returned from 18 day visit getting back on 9th December. The large crane as been taken down and they are fitting kitchens and painting in block 2. We have a 1 bed in block 1 and have met a lot of people ready to move into block 2 in February.

We have had a couple of snagging problems (water leaks on boiler, pressure too high and passing out of pressure release valve, builder to fit remedy under sink) ARCA furniture (upgraded) had various chips and paint problems, we sent the whole lot back!

We changed the door locks straight away after finding that an apartment on the 5th floor was entered and burgled using the 5th key (in the hands of the on-site builders) this costs 20 euros and fitted free by the supermarket?ferreteria owner opposite the build. We have Spanish language so we helped where we could with other English owners.

The build quality is superb, and we have been in the other type appartments, but WARDROBES are not included, we have left this with our Spanish solicitor!

Regards

Susan & Adrian

As like Susan and Adrian we have also a problem with leaking boiler, do you know if the builder will be fitting remedy under sink in all the apartments? We will get on to our agent about this.

Glad to hear crane has been moved as we have clients booked to use apartment in February.

Just to put the record straight the apartment on 5th floor was attempted but they didn't manage to get in due to good lock on door - unless you are referring to a second break in on 5th floor!?

Regards

Cath and Eddie

Would appreciate anyone posting a reply to let me know expected time of completion on block2 - thanks.  We've been told 15 Jan but heard nothing, neither has our solicitor!  Could someone in the know also clarify situation with pool and grounds, we've been told likely time of that being completed is Aug/Sept - great!! (holidaying without a pool isn't quite the same).  Are we expected to pay the reamining balance on the apt if the pool/grounds aren't completed - doesn't sound right if we are because the complex isn't fully functional.  Any update would be appreciated.

We've also been told legally we haven't a leg to stand out with the wardrobe situation, if anyone knows any different would appreciate your advice.  Is it worth us mentioning it to our solicitor too?

Look forward to an update.  Thanks.

Hello challiwell we met a couple whilst we were staying in our apartment and they had been broken into on the 5th floor.  They now have locks on all their windows and even on the patio doors.  They had things stolen in the apartment so they also had grills put on the patio doors as well.
