Ryanair cancelling flights not booked through their website

Hi All

Jany, thanks for updating with photos, the tennis court looks great now and the grass is growing by the pool.

I have spoken to Karen yesterday Block 9 (Ground D), apparently they are now clearing the pool out , maybe to fill?

All the dirt has been cleared out and cleaned.

We are however having problems again with the water in Block 9! , There has been an influx of people moving in to block 10, mostly spanish (correct me if I'm wrong), now as our pump is not working in block 9 and never has, we have been drawing water from 10's Water Pump, as more and more people are moving into 10 our use of water in 9 is getting smaller and smaller.

Way back about 2 yrs ago there was a problem with the pump, basically it wouldn't work and early owners in 9 had to use bottled water to flush, clean, cook etc as no water was coming out of the taps. We even went to the beach and filled up the water containers from the beach footwashers of sea water and flushed the toilet with that.

A few people then moved in, one being karen on the ground floor, cutting a long story short, we ended being connected to 10's water system and the black pipe sitting on the ground and running into the pump room was cut into and we had water as block 10 was empty at the time, 4 or 5 of us then had water all the time NO PROBLEMS!!.

Thats ok on a temporary measure, but now as more and more are using it , block 9's use is diminishing, karen said she has to wash, clean etc all before 9am to be sure to get some water, after which you could pee quicker.

Karen contacted Medsea who she bought from and I today contacted the aftersales of Atlas, Gwenny (Atlas) was trying to contact me 2 weeks ago to find out who our management company was? (apparently). What management company!

I said to Atlas today, that the story stands that the pump was knackered and the builder knows it and the rumour was that those in block 9 would sign the certificate of habitation, be happy and after the management company is set up, we yes we would have to pay for another pump from the maintenance money, the thing is the pump has been sat there for probably 3 years now with no warranty on it now.

We must not sign any certificates of habitation at all, after they are signed everyone then has there own water supply and not on builders supply, but we have no pump to pump the water to us.

I know that some people have cancelled their agreement for apartments and have been given full refunds but there must be more people who have bought in the apartments of block 9 and 10, come on who are you, get in contact with us, we are at a point where news is getting stale and stagnant and we need to keep this going, if you are in block 9, contact your company Atlas, Medsea, Iberian etc and moan like buggery!

Come on it's good to talk

Jany, what aprtment are you and in what block? , when are you out again, to anybody give us a call in 01202 547865, we have already heard from someone in block 10 who wants to go  through legal proceedings, come speak to us, I am phoning atlas tommorow to find out if they know anymore about this water pump

Hi Darren

Thanks for the update.  We have emailied Atlas & our solicitor.  We signed power of attorney & have so instructed them not to sign  the certificate of habitation until the pump & both lifts are fully functioning.

I think we may also write to Travensa & ask what they are playing at.

On a happier note the pool is looking better & we are looking forward to our nextr trip in 5 weeks to see for ourselves.

Perhaps we should put up signs to put off prospective purchasers in the other blocks until the problems are solved.

Hope everyone is well.

Hi all

We're due to complete on our apartment (block 9 ground floor) any time now - depending on the sale of our previous apartment in block 8. One thing we've learned from our previous experience though is to make sure that any defects are taken care of by the builder prior to completion as they most definitely won't be made good after.

Because of this, we won't be completing untill the water problems have been dealt with. We'll chase the less than useful department at Atlas tomorrow but won't hold our breaths since we've had very little help from them along the way.  One thing that occured to us is to collectively contact the BBC Watchdog programme - who's interested ? - we are.

On a different note, if you have it, can you email Karen's telephone number to us, when we eventually complete, she'll be our neighbour and we'd like to get in touch

Hello Pete,

Thanks for getting in touch.  I'm phoning Karen at the weekend and  will confirm it's ok to pass on her number.  Perhaps Watchdog would be a good idea, 

We didn,t know until after we completed that the water problem was the pump & rather foolishly thought it was normal before we signed with the water authorities. Atlas didn't correct us.  We were more concerned about the lift & again were misinformed that the lifts were working when actually only one of them does and that only occasionally.

Despite everything though we love the apartment and the neighbours we have met so far are a great crowd.  Karen is looking after the flat for us & does our cleaning between visits so we feel we can relax knowing somebody is on hand.

Will you be living there or is it just for holidays?  We intend moving over in a couple of years, as soon as we can retire.

Looking forward to meeting you

Hi Joechristie

Nice to hear from you.  Looks like we might get to see Karen over the weekend, we heard today that the buyer for the apt in block 8 wants to complete on the sale asap, so we've made some hasty arrangements and are flying out on sunday to complete the sale on Monday then back on Tuesday.  Whilst we're there we've arranged with Atlas to view the new apt in block 9, we'll question them about the water supply and see what response we get and get back to you, we'll also ask them about the lifts.

At this stage we've got no intention of moving over permanently but look forward to the odd weekend here and there.

Look forward to meeting you soon.

Pete & Rosemary
