Can anyone help with exercising the bank guarantee for Casares del Sol Suites ?

Hi does this mean we can not get water and electricity on till we have the habitation certificate thank you irene.

Yes Irene, the utility companies will not connect or switch on their services unless the Developer has obtained the First Habitation Licence.

I have just received this information by email from my solicitor in response to my query:

"

Last Friday morning I also heard the same rumour with another client we have in the same development. To that end, I have the confirmation that the First Inhabitant Licence has obtained the approval from the Town Hall, but it is still pending one last arrangement, which will be resolved shortly (I have not been able to get more accurate information since I am not the developers’ representative).

 

On the other hand, further to my meeting with the Town Hall, he has confirmed me that the access to the Avenida de Carvajal must be carried out. Nevertheless, it will suffer some delay due to the conflict between Adif and the Town Hall of Fuengirola. He was not able to tell me how long it will take, but he thinks this matter will be speeded up after the summer period. "

I suppose we could speculate until the cows come home as to what this "one last arrangement" is....

 

My solicitor had a meeting with the Town Hall people arranged for today so I guess his information is pretty much up to date.  I suppose we will just have to eke out another week waiting for the big breakthrough!

Maybe we shoul change the title of this thread, to something like"We would like to see the first Occupancy License Granted" :o) Even though we are in phase 2 and therefor not suffering with delay as all of you in Phase 1, I start wundering if we will get our apartment this year (expected hand over in November).

All the best to all of you missing a place to stay - vacation or permanent.

Hola everyone in Spain and at home

We have been to see Perla today and the exact statement from her was as follows -

The town hall has congratulated us and issued the first occupancy licence but we just need one more signature???........Also we have ´booked` ?? the notary - most of them fly away this month but we have one.........just in case so everything is very close - lovely lovely young woman but we now wonder if she can even lie straight in bed

We actually walked away and thought maybe not this year then...................-We did take a leisurely stroll up to the site and there were a few workmen painting railings and installing white goods - most blocks seem to be locked up now there was still work going on at the back doing the road and absolutely nothing happening on phase 3

Anyway all Don Juan nearly owners who are in Fuengirola at the moment or are arriving soon see you all in the Calypso bar on the 27th- 8.30 as arranged -now that is something to look forward to

Hasta Luego

Dear Max and Saskia and Everyone.

 

Delighted to hear the good news.  We wish we could be in Fuengirola for the 27th.  Unfortunately we are back in wet and windy Ireland.  Hope everything goes smoothly.  Best wishes.

Monica and Seamus

Well I suppose it's good to hear that all they are waiting for is a signature.......sorry that I won't be over for the Calypso meet up.  Will be over on the10th Sept alright but even if they have a notary booked he can only deal with one at a time.... My solicitor mentioned it could take 15 to 20 days to get electricity & water connected which is essential really to get snagging , cleaning, furniture install etc done.  Nevertheless each day now edges us a little closer to the all important big day & hand over of keys and excitement is certainly building.....

Hi Monica & Seamus,

What part of Ireland do you hail from and which apartment will you be occupying in Don Juan?

Regards

Gay & JB

Can’t resist bringing Gericoms cows home. For weeks I have been wondering why they worked so hard at the newly built stretch of road, while doing nothing at the existing carriageway. This existing road has never been used (roadblocks forbid it) and it had some clearly visible safety shortcomings. I kept on remarking to Saskia that the open put holes and some missing crash barriers could well turn out to be a problem for our license.

On inspection today this clearly is what the town hall ordered. They are installing lots of crash barriers, painting them yellow etc. Let’s hope that this is the ‘last arrangement’ as the work is as good as finished.

Regarding utilities: we have been told by the responsible companies that connections could be formally arranged in a few days. For electricity there is the additional need for an electrician to have access to your home. This could take longer as most work men are on holidays in August.

Hello Offaly,

Good to hear from you.  We were over in August and met up with Max and Saskia.   It was great to put faces to names. We are in bloque 5  Phase 11 and really looking forward to completion,  maybe we will get there for Christmas although we hve been told Feb. 2008.   We liv ein Clare andhave been here longer than we care to admit,  However, we always hasten to add that we are from Tipperary.    Good luck over the next few weeks we hope things will sort themselves out.   Cant wait to get there.

Hi, I am new to the thread and was full of hope when I read the lead title! Any news on occupancy license? I am in Don Juan I and live in USA. Counting with your greater proximity for guidance.

Hi Max,
Will keep fingers crossed as well. I am in Building 8 and need to coordinate all matters from a great distance so lead notice is key for me and guidance from those who already live in Spain a blessing! Thxs.

Hi everybody, I'ts signed due for collection tomorrow, Friday
