Hi Dave & Ailsa,

Sorry to spoil your Gas moment, but I think you will find E.S. Antas gas is the petrol station?.

Don

Hi Don,

33.00 Euros for bottled gas sounds expensive, 10.00 euroes for a refill from memory.

Wonder if BMS have slipped a hidden charge in somewhere by passing a bank detail on ?

Think I'd check that one!

Regards

Barry Ex 19A now 18A

Hi Everyone, out of interest our deduction for Gas is the same as Dave's at 79.64 Euros to Repsol Butano.

Cooking on Gas, well heating water anyway.

Any news on Electricity or are we still on that dodgy diesel generator?

Hello All

Can anyone tell us which email address to use to get in touch with BMS.

They dont reply to our emails and we suspect we are using an out of date address

Any update on the connection of the gas, water and electicity supplies.

We will be coming to Los Olivos on the 30th of June  for two weeks and of course we would like to have all the supplies ready for us to use.

Is it feasible for us to do this or should we book an hotel any advice greatfully accepted

From reading the posts on this site it appears we are joining a very nice, friendly and helpfull community and hope to meet as many of you as possible during our stay

Yours Sandra & David Lloyd 22A 

Hi Sandra & David,

Your solicitor can arrange the contracts for gas, water, electricity, these will need to be set up on direct debit from your bank, the connection of gas and water is fairly quick, however the electricity could be some time before we are on main supply, the electricity company will not connect the developement untill all the apartments are complete.

In turre a developement has been on generator for 2 years, the builder has been paying for the supply.

Don 19A

We have still not got mains water, in spite of direct payment to builder, AS WELL AS our solicitor doing the paper work.

We are now trying to chase this up directly with BMS - will get back to you if we get anywhere.

Hi Linda & Brian,

When I arrived I had no water, the builder on site sorted it, the mains into the meter has a filter on it and it was blocked.

Can you get someone to check if you have a meter fitted, if so then you should have water. The gas man is a bit of an odd one he checks for leaks with a cigarette lighter. try not to be around when he is testing.

Regards

Don

Sadly, it is definitley no water meter for us.  We do have a gas meter, thanks to Rob's (of Rob and Linda) efforts. 

Will keep you informed - as yet no reply from BMS - we will keep trying.

Best wishes,

Linda

Water meter in!!!!    Thanks again to Rob for rounding them up.  I refuse to worry about anything else!!!!

Hi,not been on for a while due to slight incapacity.A general update.The pool & garden area with all lamps lit at a glance look very attractive but closer examination shows the pool is full but still has debris in it &the tiles are greasy & dirty,the bottom gardens are very sparse & weedy,there is still gardeners stuff lying about, the toiletshave not been cleaned of paint & debris,neither have some of the paths.

Antonio told me that the concrete around the communal area & lower appts will not be painted &that the grey plaster is the finish on the walls with the meters on!!!

Maria has told us that the mountain side land will be levelled sometime as the land will be developped in single plots,but the land facing Jacaranda can be left as it will eventually be developped by B.M.S.as an urb.

Of late there has been a general groundswell of concern & anger about theattitude of B.M.S in general & Maria in particular.A number of us are going to Mojacar on Thursday to confront them .Don,t know whether this will achieve much ,but it appears that they thnk they now can walk away.Gregorio told me that all the workforce will officially vacate the site on June 27th.

The good news--- the water feature is coming on &the weather is lovely daily

Again met lots of our lovely neighbours .Best wishes from Judy & I

Haydn & Judy

Heyjude, what news from "The Fun In The Sun" estate re the meeting at the builders,

No news is good news!   Yes ?

Barry 18A

Hello is anybody out there ?

Something has gone wrong for sure, friends and fellow Los Olivians have gone silent , Maria has answered an e-mail.

Do you think BMS Kidnapped them and Maria is trying to put us off the scent.

Worrying times indeed!    Cannot still be there at BMS can they?  No golf day Saturdays .

Ah well just have to sit here and wait.   Is anybody out there please  answer.

Be a B****y Mayday next.

Barry 18A

Spill the beans then!! What did Maria say ? - she has not replied to my e mail.

I think they are all enjoying the lovely weather - like us in the UK (ha ha).    I  wonder why Marinsol have not been in touch re the first meeting?  We are out 15th July - anyone else??    Still hopeful that we will get in the pool!!!

Have a great day,

Linda

We'll be back out again for 3 weeks from the 22nd July.  I've been emailing Sol's, Agents and BMS for a few weeks now on a variety of issues, with limited response.  Does anyone have any formal contact details of Marinsol? If anyone has a name/email address etc it would be useful if you could share it please.

regards,

Lewis 6A

Hi Los O's,

Ive  had an email from the agents, saying they are taking 100 euros from my bank account as they have my permission.

I have never given permission for this, and as per usuall they do not say what the 100 euros is for, or what charges are to be made.so Its been added  to the other items that i am taking up with BMS via my solicitor. It Looks like I will be taking legal action over the issues I have outstanding.

Regards

Don

What Did Maria Say

Maria said word for word   "I can't understand why they say that the workers leave the site, we will need to doing all the snaggins and the work"

Thats it , which is more than The Los Olivians have said, so far, regarding  the meeting !!!  Wonder if BMS have taken the Generator away ?

Anyway it sounds from that, that  Maria understands if nothing else that we believe  work is not completed!

Regards All

With regard to Marinasol, I have a Dear Owner letter from this company where they request the amount of 100 Euros and say that they have my authorization to extraxct this from my bank account.  At this point as they invite me to contact them I can say No. I can also tell my solicitor to say no and my bank to say no. But at this point I won't.

The reason is, is that I'm hundreds of miles away, and I presume that the people who are living there permenantly will take care of these community problems and advise us poor sods in England if they need any back up. I would hate to delay them having the benifit of the swimming pool when we have the floods for recreation by delaying my initial 100 Euros.

1200 Euros a year sounds steep though and that is more of a concern!

Lets have some communication from the permenant residents, please, please, please or are you all locked in BMS offices still?

Remember Divided we Fall!

Regards
