I recall the main furniture in the showhouse as being substantial and well made. I remember thinking with regard to the tables, chairs, cabinets etc. "holiday makers would have trouble breaking that!" The sofa was large (3 seater) but I didn't think that calico white was the best colour. The curtaining and bedding also looked servicable and of a reasonable quality fabric. I didn't really examine the kitchen units but they looked ok. Whilst the double bed looked sturdy and impressive the frames of the twin beds looked a bit more ornate and flimsy, but I suppose the twin bed durablity comes down to how energetic a person might be. I didn't jump up and down on one!
If the furniture and furnishings that they put in Los Olivas are of equal standard to the showhouse, I will be happy.
BMS did assure me a couple of months back that all communal areas of Los Olivos WILL be completed, inspections made and certificates in place before we sign. Let's just hope they are as good as their word this time. Certainly Haydn & Judy's weekly reports indicate the work is really coming on a pace now.
I was a little surprised to read the recent post indicating that BMS had said some properties would be ready for handover and signing next week. I had thought they were all being released together. If some are to be handed over next week, which "some" might they be? I wonder if a staggered handover doesn't reduce our bargaining strength should there be any areas of concern with the build? Surely up to 80 of us saying "you don't get all the money til you fix it" is more persausive than any individuals trying to stand their ground when others may have already accepted the condition.
Oh dear, I think this is bringing out the militant in me......
