Hello all,
We are owners on phase 2 and completed last June, although we are not yet living out there we have visited several times since then and are due out again next Tuesday.
Just to confirm that the break ins have stopped and although someone did try to get in through a grill, they were not successful so it is probably still worth having them if only for peace of mind. If anyone wants details of who fitted ours just let us know and we'll send you a private email.
With regard to the electric box we did not have to pay anything for this when we completed, we did have to pay an amount for water and electricity which is normal practice until the whole site is finished and everyone has had their meters installed.
Just a couple of pointers about completion, one the final amount for charges amounted to approximately 12% of the purchase price, some of which goes to your solicitor who settle some of the bills on your behalf e.g.notary etc, and that when this is all finalised you may receive some of this back (as we just have ).
Also when we completed, although we were taken to the property by Atlas, we did not do the snagging report that day we were told that we had to go back ourselves to do this as there was not time on that day. This was a little bit irritating as we then had to hire a car for one day (we were coming home after that) which cost a fortune, had we known about this we would have had a car the whole time.
Finally as regards to children, there are at present a couple of other children that live there, one of whom is a boy aged 8 (Michael) who lives on the north facing side of phase 2 (as we do - we are at no 76). He goes to school in La Murada.
We absolutely love it out there and can't wait to go there permanently (hopefully next year), and we are sure that you will all love it too. Ellen and Jim - you will love having that bottle of wine on your terrace, we certainly do and we really enjoyed barbecueing on the roof terrace last year, it is so peaceful and relaxing.
If anyone wants any particular photos or information from when we go out next week just let us know.
Regards
Pete & Val
