Ryanair to charge £2 per person per flight for check in

Rory and Mandy

We are in block 51 and have a completion date of 30th July.  We are having the snagging done on the 17th July by a third party company so should be ready

Hope this helps

We completed on our phase 2 2 bed baranda last Friday (15th June). We were told that that we were the first to complete.

Like others we have questioned why we bought (it seems such a long time ago when we first went there).

Overall we were impressed. On the plus side the overall quality of the house is very good, every thing "feels" solid and well put together. Some specific pluses

Electric shutters in main room and master bed (I didn't realise they were included)

Balcony on master bed is bigger than anticipated (am sure they're bigger than planned) you can just about get 2 chairs out there

There is a shower in the downstairs bathroom even though the plan in our contract shows none

Underground storage area is terrific, I had anticipated a large cupboard! it is in fact a decent sized room

Security is very good, the front door would work well in Fort Knox.

The golf course as others have said is excellent. The greens are the best I have ever played on. Not sure it's a beginners course though.

Went for a Tapas in San Pedro. excellent, we were the only Brits, the area still feels Spanish. 4 of us went, had what we wanted cost us £60.

Negatives. I suppose the only negstives were about size. The kitchen is small, a one-man galley really and the main room appeared small although rooms do look small with no furniture in them.

All in all, very good and are looking forward to seeing phase 2 mature (our equivalent house in phase 1 does look nice).

Hevs,

Did you complete anyway?

Message to all phase 11 owners completing in the near future.

What arrangements/ agreement has anybody made with regards to the installation of the 3 utilities. ??

Hi everyone

If Roda do the same as they did on phase 1, you pay 200 per utility at completion - i.e. when your lawyer goes to the Notary with Roda's representative etc.  Therefore, you need to allow 600 euros to cover water, electricity & gas.  At completion Roda will transfer these services into you name - therefore no wait for power, gas and water like Polaris - up to 3 months I understand!.

I am a Phase 1 owner and this is how this matter was dealt with so see no reason why it should change for Phase 2.

Hope this helps.

roda have already sent us a request for utility payment for phase 2.

i assume this is so everything is already on when we complete ;-)

The utility charges for faze 2 are 177euro  gas, 166 electicity and 100 for water. Total 443eoros inc tax, if connected direct with Calidona.

These can be paid prior to completion direct to their bank.

Has anyone else completed on their property. ?

If so what was the extent of the snagging. ?

HEVS, did you sort out all your problems. ?

Hi - the gas is supplied by HP, the electricity by Iberodal (the only electricity co. in Spain)  and the water - don't know as we have not yet had a bill! 

Think I will ask Roda for a refund as we definitely paid 200 euros per utility!

Good luck to all of you with your completions!

Hi Celtic,

Your friend at LaTorre was lucky to have there utilities connected so soon.

My bother-In-Law and 2 friends have also bought at La Torre and on average they waited 4 months to be connected.

This is only one of many problems people have had with Polaris World, so i think we are lucky as Calidona do seem to be more organized.

D&G

My in laws have bought at El Valle and currently Polaris are taking up to 3 months to connect post completion - its pretty disgusting when you consider that they will have had builders supply to the properties.    Roda were fantastic in this respect and its how it should be!  United Golf are exactly the same - connect at completion. 

Sandra

I hope you were living there full time!  Does anyone have any idea on how much we will pay on average for electricity, gas and water per month?

Yes we do live here full time, sorry made a mistake the electricity is every 2 months, so approx cost at present are:

Large Villa:   Electricity  1800 p/a      Water    250 p/a       we have no gas

2 bed apart:    Electricity  500 p/a      Water  160 p/a     no gas

These are for premises being lived in 24/7

Sorry, didn´t mean to scare you with huge elec bill!!
