Any reccomendations or Tips for Driving Dog to Marbella

Hi everybody, I am at this very moment talking to a Mr Graham Martindale a director of Parador Properties, he is trying to say that his company had no knowledge of the building of this bridge in April2006, which was the time when I signed a contract to buy a property on Torre Alcantara. He goes on to say that his company (Parador), wait for this one, 'NO DUTY OF CARE' to inform anybody of the building of this bridge. I am asking every body on this site to please let me have your comments about this bridge, good or bad, if you was told about it before you bought or after, or was you like me, when one day you just found some photo's on the net from eyeonspain all about it, to your shock. I am asking not for just people who have bought from Parador but also from Taray or who ever. I shall then pass on all your remarks good or bad to Mr Graham Martindale, as a group we are stronger than as one person, so please one and all let me have all remarks both from husband & wife or partner as the case maybe. Thank You all very much. Regards David. Davvid2512

hi david

I was never told about the proposal of any bridge at anytime. However I have seen the bridge and it makes sense to have it there given the introduction of the high speed trains.

I would not like to be living beside it however.

Hi

We have just returned from a 3 week superb holiday in Balsicas and the bridge was officially opened on 26th July.  We can honesly say that it didn't pose an eye-sore for ourselves but can understand the upset for the few houses immediately next to it.  I'm sure that when the council complete the recreation area it will look a far nicer site.

We "bought" our house in November 2005, direct from Taray.  We hired a Spanish lawyer, who conducted all the searches for us.  We were not told about the flyover or about the warehouse which houses the local church's artefacts.  We were surprised not to be told about these things, but I think we need to keep things in perspective.  The flyover is a sensible improvement to the infrastructure of the town.  It is not going to be a really busy stretch of road since it is just bringing traffic into the village and it will be more convenient for our own access to our properties.  Compared to the situation of our house in Glasgow, our house in Balsicas is positively rural!

Hi

Not being told about things seems to be the spanish way. unfortunately i really don't think there is a lot we can do about it now even if someone does listen to our grievences. I do share everyones concerns re "an accident waiting to happen" and hopefully this will not happen. But the flyover is here now and thats something we have to put up with. I just feel sorry for the people who have bought their properties which face it.

Hi folks, we were the first into the semi-detached houses at the front of the development overlooking the railway line.  We bought in June 2006 through a sole agent but spent quite a bit of time in the Development Site Office speaking to Ciara (irish girl) and at no time at all were we advised of the bridge.  I would think, from Taray´s point of view their answer would be that they didn´t have to tell anyone about it as it wasn´t on their land.  I could be wrong.  In Scotland our solicitor would make a search of the area to establish any future developments but I don´t think that happèns here.  I don´t have a problem with it but it doesn´t impact on my view of anything.  I´m afraid I don´t think anything will be able to be done about it either.   I agree with Martha - I don´t think it will be a particularly busy road and it cuts our journey time to the village by almost 5 mins (if not more).  In France they say Cést la vie - don´t know what it is in Spain but you catch my drift!

Hi Carol,

Great to hear from you again , on the subject of the bridge I think the most important thing to get done is to have the Telephone Kiosk repositioned to a safer area,

 that is something we will have to work on, anyway hope everything is ok see you in Sept.

if you had done your research you would have known that all level crossings in spain are to be bridged over as the spanish consider level crossings to dangerous. i personaly knew in jan/feb 2006 that the basicas one was to be bridged and i was told that the bridge by the cement works was done first to allo for the sfe diversion whilst they did the one we are discussing.
