Hi all
Just an update following our visit in December 2010. We had a VERY busy visit involving lots of furniture building, resolving snagging items, discussing utilities etc. I have been impressed by the way Romanber have responded to the snagging items, having resolved nearly all of them, and to a good standard too.
When we left, whilst we had electricity in the flat, we did not yet have water. During our visit, Gestagua (the water co) did a site survey for all the new blocks and asked Romanber to fix a couple of issues - Romanber addressed these and were awaiting Gestagua's follow-up visit. As I understand it, the connections can then proceed straight after this. Hopefully we'll hear soon that the water is on.
So sadly we had to stay in a hotel during our stay due to the lack of water, however we are looking forward to our next visit when hopefully we can relax in our own flat and not have to build any more furniture. We have fallen even more in love with Arcos and the surrounding area and are pleased with our decision to buy property here.
Thanks to the friendly neighbours we met and were kind enough to offer us a hot drink - you know who you are, and we are very grateful to you.
