I have received the following from one of the members who, as far as I can judge, used to post complaints but seems to have stopped doing so, presumably in case the publicity affects the values of possible resales.
Dear sir,
I know someone who was interested in buying two apartments on this estate (non penthouse at 240,000 euros), having read your comments hes was soon put off. My advice to you is put up or shut up , stop whingeing in public and act like a man.
As to the "advice", it is I am afraid meaningless to me, as an ex-serviceman who will not be bullied by anyone, anywhere.
This nonsense about publicity affecting actual value is fairly commonly believed amongst the "flippers" within the investors. They seem to think that the "off-plan" con' that has been practised here can some how be reproduced to fool new actual buyers of the "finished" product.
I think they are deluding themselves to an astonishing degree.
I believe the market is decided by reality such as the following new post: :-
Having just returned from CDS one of the most pressing issues is clearly the state of the grounds and communal areas generally. Why are all the manholes so proud of the ground - is it the norm or have they just been mean with the topsoil ? Apart from the 'gardens' there is so much 'snagging' to be documented and pursued it's an enormous task. Just taking the stairs down to our car park one can see numerous unfinished works, holes in ceiling, broken doors on electrical cupboards, missing drain covers etc etc etc. The rendering on the block opposite ours finishes above ground level and looks dreadful. The pool area at the back of blocks 14-16 has mssing life belts, unfinished showers, a worrying long crack in the floor tiles which might indicate subsidence, dips which accumulate muddy water after heavy rain - the list goes on ... The lifeguard situation is ludicrous and a total waste of our money.
Personally I see no sense in trying replace Ammex at this stage, once they are answerable to and can be directed by the owners we will have a better opportunity to judge them. They must have accumulated some understanding of our site which will be useful in the short term. We would first need to check out the alternatives anyway.
