Electronics

Hi you all there!

We just returned from 1 week (working) holiday at our appartment 383. We got the keys last Tuesday, February 27 and everything (notary etc...) went smoothly. Naturally, we detected some small defects but no big issues luckily. We also changed the sofa at Muebles Sanchez and had to pay quite some extra, looking at what they calculated for the normal sofa. We worked the first days with cleaning, shopping and installing things. We do have a good real state agent, who is helping a lot. The community for our range of appartments has not been founded yet but will be the next weeks. We got all the keys, except the swimming pool. It will handed over after the community starts. The weather was fantastic. Daily around 25 degrees and it hurted to go home after 7 days. Even though we are enthousiastic, we will see the next period how things go and how the after sales work. We do hope to meeting you all some day and we are quite jealous to those, who will stay permanently.

Hi Joop,

I'm also interested in changing the sofa for a sofa bed.  Was your  furniture the same as the show house?

Were they OK about changing it after it had been delivered?  Was there a lot more to pay for a sofa bed? Can you tell me where the furniture store is, so we can have a look. 

We hope to be out there next weekend and hoped to complete, but still some paper work isn't complete.

Hi Brenda,

just returned from DHII today. Yes, our furniture was the same. We changed the sofa at Muebles Sanchez in Los Montesinos (you will see them drive around all the time in DHII). They have 2 systems but the prices can be high. We received our bed sofa yesterday and it is wonderful. We had to pay around 500 EUR extra (!). They gave us not more than 300 EUR back for the normal sofa. We had to wait 4 weeks but were happy to receive it yesterday. There are many more people from DHII who changed their sofa so they will not be surprized. Leave it in the plastic if you decide to change. Take a look at their website for the details. If you need more then let me know.

Thanks for the information, Joop. 

We will have a look when we get out there. Hope the weather is Ok for us.  Forecasts rain in Spain and nice here in UK.

Really looking forward to see how much has changed since we were last out there.

Hi guys

 We have completed on our apartment on dream hills R4 and will be visiting in the not to distant future, what can we expect to find, are things relatively clean, and are things in place as we have not booked a hotel for the first night,   

Hi Steve

We bought through Masa and completed mid May.  The place was fine. It was cleanish, just a bit dusty, but nothing u couldnt live with for a day.  Furniture was all unpacked and just needed the plastic throwing out.  All we needed to do immediately was buy some sheets for the bed and go and get some beers!  The white goods came the next day and we spent the afternoon shopping for essentials.  Also the snagging guy came from Masa and found nothing wrong with the exception of a couple of light bulbs didnt work.  The Masa snagger said that DH2 had a better finish by far thatn DH1 and that the builders had really improved. We are going out until end of July and my husband and son will be there for most of August - hope to see you then.

Hi JackieK

 Thanks for the information regarding the cleanliness of apartments on dream hills 2 it seems that general opinion is it's not as bad as i thought it was going to be. looks like you just need sheets, a couple of fans until we get aircon sorted. and plenty of beers . salud! ....

Hello Hudders

Glad it went well for you, we found it really useful to get access to our apartment before we completed at Easter.

If people are going out there before they complete they really should take advantage of the opportunity to do some snagging, though gladly it seems there's not too much serious stuff to follow up on.

We go out for a long weekend tomorrow - what was the weather like ?  :)
