Has anyone in San Cayetano noticed that there are large cracks appearing in some of the properties - in my case just underneath the roof tiles.  The crack goes right across the front of my property and across the quad next door.

Taray are saying this is nothing to do with them as it is not structural - I would argue that point.  Our properties are supposed to be guaranteed for 10 years for any structural damage.  What would be the alternative?  For us all to try and repair these large cracks with non-matching cement (horrible thought) or, as I think may be the reason behind it, pay Taray to do it for us!

I would welcome any thoughts from anyone out there who is experiencing this problem.  I do know that at least 5 quads near mine are quite bad.  This has been brought to the attention of the President and Vice President of Manzana 3.

When I signed for my property I met the owner of Taray who informed me that Hacienda San Cayetano was going to be "the jewel in their crown".  Let's try and ensure it keeps that way!

It is perfectly normal to get some settlement cracking on new properties as they settle onto their fondations plus the abnormally large amount of rain that we have had this year has certainly increased the amount and wre have also seen this on some of the newer properties that we have seen

What is not acceptable is for the developer to simply dismiss this as a defect but a lot depends on how long you have lived in the property

Your 10 year guarntee is actually not drectly related to the builder but, as in the UK, is an insurance policy and the details of who thye cover is with will be with your completion paperwork and the next thing to do is contact them requesting a professional assement by a Spanish surveyor as it may may, given where the cracking is happening, that the top corse of brickwork is not tied in

Again if you are unhappy you could always fill in a complaints form and have OMIC investigate this

I have just had a run in with this developer, a certain individual onsite, regarding snagging repairs where he stated that onlñy one list was allowed which is not correct according to law and the lawyer is dealing with this  but you shouldn´t just accept their word
