Hi Nickid,
We have also purchased on Phase 2 and have used Fusters solicitors and they seem OK at the moment. You will need ta solicitor initially to verify the contract with Taray If you PM me I can give you contact details so you can compare quotes. But after looking around myself they were all pretty similar. Once you have chosen a solicitor inform your agent of their details and they should sort everything for you.
On the top of the purchase price you need to add the following expenses (% of the purchase price) which is why the genrally quote about 10% of the purchase price for total costs:-
7% Vat tax
1% Stamp duty tax
0,75% Solicitors fees (+ VAT)
1500 Euros ( estimate) Notary and land registry fees
We looked at phase 1 for a while but there was not a great deal of choice, as the best locations had already been sold. So we hung out until phase 2 was released. Like you we were informed that the phase 1 pool would be open to non-owners(locals) as well and that there would be a small fee for everyone to use it (I guess for the owners it would be a reduced fee, with the option of paying for it annually. Because the pool is not owned by the complex it means the community fees for owners would be less expensive.
We were informed that phase two (Mananza 8) and is to be built in two phases. The ist phase id the pool and the properties to the left as seen on the plan. Then to the right of the pool will be completed in the second phase (of phase 2 - confusing isn't it?!!? Where about is your property?
Regards,
Al
