SimpleOverseas / Inroal - how do I get my money refunded

HI ALL

SORRY NOT BEEN ABLE TO UPDATE YOU MORE QUICKLY ON THIS SITUATION - HOWEVER - POUR YOURSELVES A STRONG DRINK !!!!!!

IT WOULD APPEAR THAT EVEMARINA HAVE SANCTIONED AND PROCESSED THE INSTALLATION OF AN ASTRA SYSTEM . WHICH WILL ONLY PICK UP FRENCH AND GERMAN CHANNELS + I BELIEVE - CNN.

THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE DOESN'T IT? - WHEN THE VAST MAJORITY OF HACIENDA OWNERS ARE ENGLISH SPEAKING!!

I WAS NOT ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE ADMINISTRATOR TODAY - BUT IF OUR WORST FEARS ARE CONFIRMED ( MONDAY) - I BEG YOU ALL TO COMPLAIN TO EVEMARINA.

ALL OWNERS HAVE THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE TV IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE, ESPECIALLY A LANGUAGE USED AS PROLIFICALLY AS ENGLISH, AND I AM SURE THAT YOU HAVE EITHER BOUGHT YOUR APARTMENT FOR YOUR OWN USE - ASSUMING THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO RECEIVE SKY TV, AND/ OR - ARE DEPENDENT ON SKY TV TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM RENTAL POTENTIAL FROM YOUR PROPERTY

AS IT STANDS  - THE MAJORITY OF INDIVIDUAL OWNERS WILL NOT HAVE ROOM ON THEIR TERRACES TO PUT IN THEIR OWN DISH , ALSO - SOME APARTMENT TERRACES WILL BE FACING THE TOTALLY WRONG DIRECTION TO PICK UP A SIGNAL..

IF THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE IS LOTS OF DISHES ON THE ROOF - THE WHOLE PLACE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE A CHRISTMAS CAKE.

I WAS TODAY ABLE TO GET A VERY 'ROUGH QUOTE' OVER THE PHONE - FROM A RECOGNISED SATELLITE INSTALLATION COMPANY ON THE COAST - WHO HAVE DONE MANY COMMUNAL SYSTEMS.

ALTHOUGH THEY WOULD NEED TO DO A LOT OF MEASURING AND LOOKING - AN APPROXIMATE PRICE FOR A 'RELIABLE SYSTEM' - WHEREBY ALL OWNERS WOULD GET A GOOD SKY SIGNAL - FOR THE ENTIRE COMPLEX WOULD COST AROUND € 50,000.

I AM NOT ALONE IN FEELING THAT EVEMARINA OWE US THIS - BY MEANS OF SMALL COMPENSATION FOR DELAYS, AND OTHER ONGOING ISSUES.

I WILL PUT A NEW POST ON - AS SOON AS I AM ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE ADMINISTRATORS OFFICE ON MONDAY.

SORRY - DIDN'T MEAN TO SPOIL YOUR WEEKEND - - - HAVE A GOOD ONE!!

KIND REGARDS

Hi Jean

Do you have an email address for eve marina so we can complian?

Regards Rodger

I would appreciate - if you could hold fire on contacting Evemarina - until I have been able to verify this situation - with the community administration office on Monday morning.

I don't have TOTAL proof of our supicions until I can speak to them, as th company who have done the recent installation were reluctant to admit what type they had done when I spoke to them yesterday.

The reasons why we suspect this is the case are -

obviously not receieving Sky signal

&

another satellite installation company told me that the size of dishes installed is not adequate to receive Sky in a complex of 30 apartments - let alone 200.

Your patience on this appreciated - until we know for sure - then we can bombard them with complaints.

Have a great weekend.

Jean

DEAR ALL

WE HAVE SPOKEN TO THE COMMUNITY ADMINISTRATORS OFFICE TODAY  -  THEY ARE VERY AWARE THAT A LOT OF OWNERS ARE MOST UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS SITUATION ( NO DOUBT - SOME OF YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THEM) .

AS I HAVE NOT YET SIGNED FOR MY APARTMENT - I HAD NOT RECEIVED THE MINUTES OF THE AGM, IN WHICH WE WERE VERBALLY TOLD THAT EVEMARINA WOULD DO A COMMUNAL SATELLITE INSTALLATION - BUT OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE MINUTES SAY THAT THERE IS NO MENTION OF THIS IN THE WRITTEN MINUTES!!!!

I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT INSTALLING SKY IS NOT ALWAYS A PRE-REQUISITE FOR EVERY PROMOTOR - BUT WHY HAVE THEY THEN INSTALLED A SYSYTEM - RECEIVING FRENCH AND GERMAN WHICH WILL BE OF ALMOST NO BENEFIT TO ANY OF THE OWNERSHIP?????

PACO - OF THE ADMINISTRATORS OFFICE IS IN ABSOLUTE AGREEMENT - THAT THE GESTURE OF INSTALLING THE CURRENT ASTRA SYSTEM IS TOTALLY FUTILE, AND THAT EVEMARINA MAY HAVE WELL JUST NOT BOTHERED.

HE IS PREPARED TO APPROACH EVEMARINA ON THIS - ON BEHALF OF THE OWNERS - SO WE ARE CURRENTLY GETTING 3 QUOTES FROM REPUTABLE LOCAL SATELLITE COMPANIES - THE BEST OF WHICH WILL BE PRESENTED TO EVEMARINA - FOR THEIR DECISION.

LET'S HOPE THAT THEY GIVE IT SOME SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.

ONE THING IS FOR SURE - FOR MANY OWNERS AT HACIENDA - SOME SORT OF COMMUNAL SYSTEM IS THE ONLY OPTION IF THEY ARE TO MAINTAIN THEIR PROPERTY VALUE AND RENTAL POTENTIAL - AS FOR MANY - THE TERRACES ARE JUST TOO SMALL TO LOCATE A DISH & IN SOME CASES - MUIRFIELD, PART OF PEBBLE BEACH AND PART OF ROYAL LYTHAM - THE DISH WOULD BE FACING COMPLETELY THE WRONG WAY.

LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS I HEAR SOMETHING

KIND REGARDS

JEAN
