need to phone a mobile in Torrevieja,Costa Blanca

Hi Everyone

We're in Spain now and will be making regular trips to LTR, we would love to help you guys by asking any questions you have about what's going on in LTR.

Anything from the progress, planning, phase 2, to all your smaller bits like what colour your loo roll holder is going to be, we don't mind!!!

We will check this thread every other day (minimum) and take your questions to Piensa directly.

Please post asap to avoid missing out on getting your important questions answered.

We'll next be going up there on the 22nd Aug (Tuesday) so we will take up any questions posted by 10pm (English time) on Monday.

We can go up there again a number of times before we leave on the 28th so don't worry if you don't get in staright away.

We'll also update you with the answers to the questions.

Just to let you know the story so far, the roads will be finished in two months, at that point they just need the Council to inspect the infra-structure to grant the permission to start building (this is just a nod, not an application that takes weeks/months)

There are lorries literally racing each other out of the site (five at one time, all overtaking each other to get to the entrance first) and they are making excellent progress.

The new pitch and putt area looks great (on the model) together with the new design of the communial swimming pool area and community clubhouse.

There is some news on swimming pools also, please see the other thread on "whose having a swimming pool"

Look forward to hearing from you all.

HI Everyone

To answer the questions regarding completion dates, apparently Piensa are commencing Phase 1 & 2 at the same time.

They will be completing the villas that were bought first within each phase, this is why your neihbour may have a different completion date to you.

They are still stating that it will be May 08 for Phase 1 & 2 to be completed but obviously the villas that have been bought first or already will have an earlier completion than those bought now.

Hope this helps

Hi Glen, Emma, Paige & Sam,

Thanks for all the updates re the development, its nice to get regular updates. We will be out there 26th Dec - 2nd Jan so hopefully we will be able to do the same. We are buying a Sofia and have no information as to what the colours are going to be throughout the villa. If you go the the site again can you ask if every Sofia will be decorated the same and if so what colour the floor/bathroom/kitchen tiles will be, just so we know for when we start buying and can be colour coordinated.  Hope you enjoy the last few days of your holiday and look forward to seeing more photos when you get back.

Hi Glen, Emma, Paige & Sam,

Thanks for asking the question regarding the completion dates.   We bought in April 06, so won't be amongst the first to complete, but that is the fairest way of doing it, and what I hoped you would say.

We are out in October, so the same applies, any questions let us know and we will be more than willing to ask them for you.

Hi Val

We only bought in March 07 and our villa will be complete by May 08, it's only the ones that aren't sold or have only just been sold that will be after the first completion date.

So on this basis you should complete along with the rest that have been bought prior to whatever cut off date Piensa have come up. I know their giving September completions to anyone buying now, so whether this cut off was in line with all that bought before the last price increase I really don't know, but it seems to be the situation.

Hi,

I remember reading on another forum where they said we have to go to the notary to complete) ( or our solicitor if they they have Power of Attorney), and they can only do so many in a day.  Assuming they can do 6 per day, that is 120 per month.  If that's correct I think more than that amount of people purchased before June 07, which I think they said was the cut off date for May completions, so we can't all complete in May.  It will be spread out over a couple of months I would think.  Does anyone else have any thoughts on this, I could be completely wrong.
