Block 271

Having been at our apartment block 285 near 271 it would appear work is gathering pace, the roof space and top floor look to be complete, plasterers working front and rear of the block, work has commenced on the parking area as well.

We return to Wales on Sunday, hopefully those of you waiting will see completion early next year.

Hi, thanks for that, it's useful to have an independent update. After a "moan" at our agent, he had a meeting with the developer and they are still saying they expect building work to complete by the end of December followed by the application for the Los. So perhaps us new folks might get in by the end of February. We were told that the builders are concentrating on the shared areas, this seems to be confirmed by what you have seen. 

Cheers

Good to hear there is progress! Hopefully 2015 starts with a new appartment for all the owners of an appartment in block 271.
Hope to see you all new owners in spring time.

And...... if anyone out there could take a picture of 271 and post it to this thread...... that would be great!!!

Thanks in advance, and we wish you all a merry Christmas and a great 2015....... (also in Terrazas :-))

Almost new owners of 271-3H,

As the block is supposedly nearing completion (end of Dec) can anyone on site let us know if the windows and patio doors are in yet please? Until they are done they won't be painting the interiors and finishing the final fit of electrics. 

We keep looking at the weather forecast and the Mar Menor web cam and wish we were there rather than in grey and cold UK. 

Thanks

Jim.... 

I'm over the next week so I'll take some more pictures and post them here  if no one else does in the mean time.

Thanks for that,  can you spot our impatience 😁

Totally understandable,  I think everyone feels the same when waiting. 

I'd prepared myself during my purchase as its Spain I was convinced it would be 3-6 months late but surprisingly they were on time. 

Can I please stress when you go to do your snagging check everything,  we've had several bad water leaks with one apartment badly flooded. 

I do snagging as part of my job in construction,  all the pipe work under bith sinks were loose. 

The shower trays aren't sealed property, so that needs to be looked at. 

As soon as you get the eelectric turned on check every socket and light and report immediately any that don't work. 

II'm not trying to scare you in anyway just want to your block to avoid the 12 months it's taken us to sort,  even with these issues I don't regret it one moment, love the place and met some really good people it has a great community.

Thanks for the heads-up on snagging. I'm assuming you did it yourself, which I would like to do as much for the experience as anything else. Do you (or any else) perhaps have a suitable checklist? Also did you snag before completing, or immediately after? 

I have noted the point on the shower tray, having seen comments elsewhere on the same, so a trusty tube of silicone is already on my list 😁

Thanks 

Jim 

Hi,

We too are waiting patiently on completion.  Some pics would be fab.  Thanks in advance.

Arrived today after 14 hours of travel things went wrong from 4am but that's another story,  from what I can see the whole building is rendered completely so all white,  the fencing surrounding it looks to of gone, well golf course side does this is all I can see from my balcony (275) and tired eyes. 

I'll have  a walk over Tomorrow and take some pictures and post them here.  

Hi,

Glad you have arrived......eventually!  Thanks so much for the update.  Will look forward to the pics.  Enjoy your stay.  I hope it's a relaxing one.

OK been and had a look this morning,  taken a few photos external and internal,  they are to follow. 

Apparently there have been a lot of builders on site over the past few weeks which is a good sign. 

Good  progress since I was last here beginning of November. 

​All External doors patio windows are in

1st fix electrical cabling done. 

Plasterboard complete and drying lining in progress

Obviously this is what I can see from a ground plot some of the higher floors may be a bit further behind internally,  I tried to go up but got caught by security. 

Thanks for the update! It is very helpfull to have someone out there to inform us about the progress, thank you very much.Anxious to see your photo's!

We wish you all a terrific 2015 and hopefully we see each other early next year!

Sorry there going to be so big,  for some reason the forum won't let me upload the compressed ones.
