One thing I forgot to mention on my post last night was that it seems that all the properties are going to be fitted with solar panels for Heating & Electricity as standard.

It appears that this is one of the planning requiremenst from the town hall to approve the build.

So I dont know if this is a good thing or not.

Cheap electricity & running costs or unsightly looking black panels over your roof - the choice is yours, but it seems to be happening.

Please let this be true! It surely makes sense, and hopefully means you can have the air-con on all the time without worry!

Hi

I wondered if they would do that, because I read somewhere on the internet about them becoming a requirement of new builds.  If it means cheaper bills then I'm all for it.

Hi,

We have just come back from a visit to LTR and have posted 13 photo's on the system, (sorry about the date 01 jan 2006). We spoke to Sonia who told us that the show houses will be finished by late November early December. The show houses are, Tuscany, California, Mirian and Sonia, all on 200 sq mtre plots. They have started to clear the area around the first phase now.

hope the enclosed helps.

Hi Tony & Sue,

Thanks for the photographs, it is great to see things coming along nicely.   Did they let you go into the villas to take the photos even though they weren't finished?  We go out there in the middle of November, and was hoping they would have them finished, but if they will let us in to have a look that would be good.

Has anyone at La Tierca notified people about solar panels?  Doubt it!  Is this a definite do you think?

Hi Tina,

They have said they are waiting for a reply from their technical team, and if they are fitted they will be on the solariums.  Not a good option we don't see why they can't go on the roof. 

 

 

If these solar panels go on the solariums surely it will depend on what type of house you have?  Gosh, I hope they consult us about where they will go first.  Great for bills though I guess.

 

Hi all. I have just put down a deposit on one of the apartments in Phase 1. I would be grateful if you could keep me posted with all the developments. I was out there on the 6th October and nobody mentioned solar panels to me

Hi Paddy,

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your puchase,  I think we have chosen a very beautiful area.  We will be going out in November, solar panels is on our list of questions to ask.  I'll post the reply when we return.

Hello Paddy

We too have purchased an apartment (No30) on phase 1, are we neighbours?  Do you know how many apartments/town houses are still for sale as we purchased in April and they looked to be selling quite well?

Matt called in briefly at LTR on Monday (weather was fab).  There was no major progress. Sonia said that all the British are interested in is tiles & solar panels. At the same time I sent him a text to ask about tiles etc which Sonia found amusing.  She said that swapping tiles around wouldn't be problem but can they get the roads down first.  She had no update on Solar panels.  We were originally given a date of December 07 and she said that this might come forward to September (which it does say on our contract). Show homes are on track for completion in December. 

Hi everyone

 

All very quite at the moment !!! has anyone got any updates or new pictures .

I'm visiting  LTR in Feb .. seems a long way away..

 

 

 

Hi All,

Just returned from La Tercia last night.  We have some photographs which I'll post as soon as I can.  The show houses are almost finished, they said they will be completed by the end of December/early January.  They have taken the lemon tiles off the walls in the bathroom, because the technical dept said they didn't go with the floor tiles.  They will be replaced by probably beige ones.  They were working on the roads and have the entrance to the site dug out. 

Our villa was due for completion in September which they told us was on time, however our agent said it would be more like December.  We spoke to our solicitor who phoned the site and they confirmed that it would be November/December.

Val

Hi,

 

Wonder if that means ours will be November/December too?  We bought in Oct 05 and were originally told June 07.  Then Sep 07 now December prob then.

We aren't going till next March but glad they have started the entrance and roads - what a relief. 

 

Hi All,

I have uploaded some photographs.  The first one is a Sonia, the second and the internal photographs are of the California, and the last one is the Miriam.

Val

Thanks for the photos Val. Doesn't seem to be that much progress since October, but maybe I'm being unfair and impatient!

Not alot happening quickly is there?  Just seen photos.  Thought these were supposed to be completely ready Nov/Dec. 

Hi

Out of interest, how is the Golf Invest site coming on that is opposite La Tierca?  Started at the same time.....

Have they got licence to start building I wonder?

When we were out there at the end of September there was a lot of building work going on on the United Golf Resort across the road. Indeed we paid a visit to the office where the mock up show apartments were on view. Have to say we were impressed with the quality and were considering purchasing. The show villas were just about ready at that time. I cannot wait for the whole area to be finished it will be a fantastic place to live and come on holiday. Roll on Dec 07
