Arlene, I couldn't possibly comment on the bit in brackets, but of course would not be so rude as to disagree with you!!

My understanding is that Polaris are offering the people with deposits an alternative property at the full asking price, not the discounted price - that is the issue that most have.  I do agree that this should be a win win situation, Polaris manage to shift the properties, and those who have placed deposits get a real bargain, but that doesn't seem to be the Polaris view.  They seem to feel as they already have the deposit and have no intention of returning it they can force a different deal.  I do hope they can come to some compromise.

If only this were the case,  polaris world are offering us a 10% discount on the full priced properties so in effect getting more money from us not less!!!!

Its a blue sky scenario you paint, but us in the position of "deposit paid, no property built" its not like that and polaris world are being very vague, they do not answer emails or phone calls so apart from turning up at the offices in balsicas we cant get any answers.

But hey ho its wonderful on the rest of polaris condada as we fortunately have one property which has been completed and is superb, so I will enjoy it despite the problems.

The b****y cheek of them!!  Didn't realise that.  If it's only (and I don't mean to use the word 'only' in a flippant sense) around a £2k deposit then even cutting your losses and buying a 2 or 3 bed at 90k would still be worth it in the long run.  But, If I were you guys I would probably feel that I had given them more than enough of my hard-earned cash and tell them where to stick their properties!  All the best and I'm sure that everyone else on this forum is, like I am now, seriously disgusted at their blatant attempts at profiteering on this one.  They should be made to sell the bigger apartments at todays going rate not some fantasy figure they have in their minds. 

thanks for your support and it does make you a littlebitter but we have to try to remain positive so as not to spoil our experience as owners already.  I just wish they would respond to my emails as its frustrating especially as I keep getting marketing emails so they do know how to contact me.

looking forward to next tuesday out at cda for a few weeks!!!

If you check out the other PW forum you will find that PW probably doesn't own the properties any more. From what I read PW have transfered all unsold properties to the banks in exchange for loans. They probably can't reduce prices on properties they don,t own. Once the bank have sufficient cash back from house sales - how long for PW?

Now estate agents, bar and shop owners, oh yes they run golf courses too.

Yes i know very negative for me but what can you believe? complete on your (or a) property asap as the chances of getting any bank guarantees now in my opinion have gone.

forgive me if i am missing something, but if pw can not uphold their side of the deal in providing the finished property on time then surely you have the right legally to pull out of the contract with full refund, be it  3,000e - 25% - 40% and with the return of your money you can then buy one of the properties that are reduced. looks like a win win and faster solution and also the more properties sold in the resort that are already built, the faster the resort can be completed in full.

Hi all

I can assure you, we have had a lot of communication with Polaris Sales team in the last few days offering us some very very attractive propositions as an alternative to Golf Suites. They are also arranging free flights & 5 star accomadation for 2 nights possibly this Fri/Sat. So...my glass is very much half full. This is a very positive forum(unlike others) so less of the negative comments please.

Don

Hi Don & Kerry

I really hope your trip is fruitful!  I really do! As it about time PW started to making positive move in the golf suite's direction.

I know you and others have said  you have been in touch with a Maria in Sales but you can' say much yet, isn't there anymore you can say just for people who haven't read the threads on the 'Golf suite Community'  ? 

Anyway whatever happens this weekend for you have fun in the 5 star luxury and have a look at the Condado because I know your cup will be half full, if not overflowing!  Good Luck!

I must set the record straight, polaris world are not saying that they are not ever going to build the golf suites they are saying that they dont know when they will start them!  Contracts state that they have 18 months from the start of building to hand over the completed property  this means they contractually do not have to give us our money back.  They have us tied up tight.

Whoever has been contacted by polaris with these offers could you please email me direct barbararollett@hotmail.co.uk so I can get to know who I need to contact to find out what they have been told, as we have been offered only property at top prices and much more expensive than the golf suite we chose, without any discounts, freebys etc.  I do not wish to put any further monies in so I am stuck with the situation unless some can give me a different slant on things.

Hopeful

Barbara

Hi Barbara

Why do you have "0" post made?

I dont know mate, I have posted lots on the site since I joined in about February, also I cant get into my messages or send a pm to anyone,  I have tried to sent a message to get it sorted but never had a reply.

But as you can see I keep posting replies.

barbara

Hey I can't see where you can contact/speak to Justin.

I know we have to be fexible in this day and age but can we have some sort of hint? Clue?  Strange?

I know Barbara I've spoken to before, have you got access to the Golf suite forum on the EOS? If not go to the top "Commutiy forum" and add Golf Suites.

Discounts can be arranged on Polaris World Resorts including Condado up to circ 30% such as on Arenales del Mar Menor where the 2 bed apartments are down from 171.500€ to 120.000 €

The reality in Spain is that the 'asking prices' on all developments. not just Polaris World  which are ready now are discounted by circa 25/30%

Many developments are being mothballed and buyers offered alternatives . just like at Polaris World, but before you take the alternatives offered, you should look around to see if you can get a better buy......and they are out there .....you just have to look!

I WAS NOT CONTACTED BY PW BUT FOUND OUT VIA THIS FORUM THAT MY APARTMENT WAS NOT GOING TO BUILT.

  MY SOLICITOR CAME WITH ME TO A MEETING I ARRANGED WITH PW( PW DID NOT KNOW HE WAS COMING WITH ME)

I WAS TOLD THEY HAD TRIED TO CONTACT ME BUT HAD NO DETAILS (THEY HAVE MY WORK& HM TEL,MY ADDRESS, MY AGENTS DETAILS AND E MAIL).

I WAS OFFERED TWO ALTERNATIVE PROPERTIES, SAME PRICE NO DISCOUNT AND FAR INFERIOR  (ONE HAD A BRICK WALL RIGHT OUTSIDE WINDOW ) MY SOLICITOR HAS NOW LODGED THE PAPERWORK AT COURT AS WE INTEND TO SUE FOR THE RETURN OF MY DEPOSIT. THE 18 MONTH CLAUSE THEY CONDIDER IS AN ABUSE.
