Hi

Has anyone received a reply from the director geneal of Calidona, i sent my letter to him a week ago today still not received a reply, just wondered if anyone had received a response.

Hi, just wanted to thank teejay and Lisa for their info.  Looking forward to the DVD Lisa!

hi

when did you e -mail them all, it would appear from the lack of any response from the letters we sent and your e -mail, that once again we are being treated poorly by calidona, i am begining to wonder what sort of a company we are dealing with, they appear to value their clients interests low in their priorities.

i do not really know what more we can do to gain any further information regarding progress etc if they are not willing to reply to our correspondence.

my agent has also been enquiring on our behalf and the reply to him is that they are due to start sept / oct, i suppose we will have to hold tight and see if this turns out to be correct.

Hi all

The only person at Calidona who appears to be responding to any emails is Rosa Barreiro the Sales Coordinator (although my email went to her via MRI), for anyone who would like to contact her, Rosa's email address is rbarreiro@corveragolf.com and tel. no. is 0034 968 380 910, you can see her response to my email below (or possibly now due to the activity on this thread on a previous page), but basically she says that its the backlog at the townhall. Personally I suspect construction will begin in the next month, although I certainly agree Calidona need to do some serious work on their customer relations.

We've just sent off the second instalment, don't believe the contract has any leeway anyway, but e-mailed solicitor over there who is independant, he will be contacting urban town hall in murcia to confirm what is actually happening.

We were due for completion in March 2009 on 3rd phase so feel that builder has scope to catch up once things get underway. No comfort to fellow posters who are on phase 1 & 2 but delays are an integral part of any significant development world wide. We think its going to be a winner with great infrastructure being input to immediate area. Just hope the pressing doesnt lead to corners being cut in quality and workmanship. 1st instalment Bank Guarantee went to solicitor prompt after pay last time, expect solicitor to receive cover for this payment also, its backed by AAA Spanish Bank so dont feel any real concerns about developer. Keep the nerve.

Hi Pat,

I don't think that requesting information should be any excuse or cause to cut corners.

Many of us were under the impression we would have our properties by now.

I also believe Corvera is fantastic, its just frustrating when you're so far away and can't drop by to check up on progress. I will be going over in Jan, but meanwhile I'll be watching this forum, as it is my only source of information.

Hi All,

Just got an e-mail from Abigail Hill, she writes:

"I write in response to your request for information. Unfortunately there is a delay in the above-ground construction (i.e.  the construction of the properties themselves) but currently, the roads, underground drainage and electrical system are being installed in the resort and we are confident that the above ground construction will start on both Phases 1 & 2 by October this year if not in September.

The delay in starting the construction has unfortunately been due to a hold up with paperwork. We have all licenses in place to start the construction of phases 1 & 2 but have simply been awaiting the final stamp to be given on this license. Summer in Spain is a very difficult time when it comes to paperwork as government services such as the local Town Halls have very limited staff and working hours throughout the Summer months making everything move more slowly.

However, as I previously mentioned, with the return to normal working hours in September we expect to receive the final stamp shortly. All clients will receive a letter from our developers Calidona shortly to inform of the building situation in more detail."

I'm happy to sit tight for the moment.

HI Gina

can you let us know who Abigail hill is, many thanks

Hi Dave,

When I was at Corvera I spoke with her, she is one of the Sales Reps on site. While I was over I found her to be very helpful and efficient, she certainly seemed to know her stuff, and was able to answer all of my questions at the time.

Hi all, just received a letter from Calidona stating that Corverians will be offered a 10% discount on green-fees at Roda until the deeds of your property are registered.  You apply by either completing a form included with the letter or through a web address.  Your identity card can then be collected in person upon presentation of passport etc. at the Roda Golf Course Club House.

Hi Anita

just received the same offer, thought at first it was a reply to my letter sent to the MD, no such luck

dave

Hi Anita,

Is this valid immediately, or does it give a date that it starts on? Does it state how much the green fees are at Roda?

Cheers,

Gina

Hi Gina, seems as though it is valid upon registration.  The web address application form is in Spanish, but if you look at the one enclosed with the letter it is in English, so should not be too difficult to complete electronically.  I imagine that once they have received that you can collect your identity card when visiting.
