SPANISH PROPERTY SCANDAL: JOINT ACTION

G, thanks for this. Could you confirm whether the corrective action you commissioned was costly? Did you have to break the whole thing or was there an easy fix?

THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT THIS PROBLEM WE WILL ADD IT TO SNAGING BUT WHEN THAT WILL BE I DONT KNOW WE ARE PHASE 4 BLOCK 2 OUR SOLICITOR KEEPS SENDING US E.MAIL TELLING US MAYBE WE SIGN NEXT MONTH BUT HE HAS BEEN DOING THAT SINCE LAST MARCH THE LAST E.MAIL TELLS US DECEMBER BUT WE THINK ITS MORE LIKE 2008 BEFORE ANYTHING GETS SORTED    HE HAS NOT RETURNED OUR LAST E.MAIL WERE WE TOLD HIM WE WERE TAKING LEGAL ACTION  ABOUT DELAY AND THE FACT OUR APARTMENT IS NOT AS   IN SALES DISCRIPTION AND PLANS DISPITE THE FACT IT IS VERY NICE

My friend has an apartment on phase 1 and she has the same problem as well as being over run with little black drain flies coming from the bathroom air vent, the person in the apartment next to her has had an over flow of toilet waste in the house and the smell in my friends apartment (in the kitchen) is very unpleasant.  He decided to dig part of his garden up, dig under the terrace, which is hollow!! where he found a broken sewage pipe.  Nobody would take responsibility e.g Pepi  from Arenal or Preinier Sur, so he decided to denounce Pepi at the town hall.  This has got people moving and hopefully the problem has been resolved. Whilst in Spain I was also informed by Preiner Sur that they are not releasing the apartments until the whole of phase 4 is complete.  I`m not sure how valid this is as the information is changing by the day.

Hi Sef,

Was this the sales office or the head office staff  of PrieneSur that said they would only release the whole of phase 4 when all the apartments are complete ?

Thanks,

Dave.

It was the technical department, they have their office in the old show apartment in phase 2. The guy that I spoke to was Antonio.

if what sef has been told is true i for one have no intention of waiting untill the end of next year for apartment as we have allready had to pay for a valuation twice on our apartment  so this is money down the drain  and making a third mortgage aplication is not on we will pull out of phase four block 2

Hi Sef/Babe,

I hope this is not true,I had though they were trying to release blocks 1-3  first.In another forum arenalgolf.com the bantam a member is living onsite in phase 3 and keeps a daily log of whats going on and according to last friday they had fenced  off the golf course from the front of blocks 1-4 and cleaned up the road/pavements etc.The cost of the mortage valuations as Babe has said should be paid by the developer as they are the reason why more valuations are needed.We asked our solicitor to lodge a claim against the developer for the cost of renting past August 07 as this was the agreed extension for our apartment in block 7.We have been out in October,will be out December and March and May 08.

Cheers,

Dave.

 

 

With the greatest respect to all concerned why should Antonio in the Technical  office be any more reliable than any other source of information?

If what Antonio said proves to be true then it is likely to be the result of a  decision taken by the local council rather than the developers, since they have just notified purchasers in some Blocks in Arenal Duquesa, the other site sold by Arenal 2000 to Caja Sur , of their completion dates in January (see the Arenal Duquesa Forum on this web site).

Our own observation of recent developments on the site doesn't substantiate what Sef has been told although we are well aware that on past performance anything could happen!

 

 

It is in the best interest of Prenier Sur to complete as soon as possible, they said that Gerens are in negotiations with the town hall to try and release the blocks as previously planned.

 

Hi sef , babe, neutral and others,

We received an email from Lawyers of Spain today which said;

"According to the update the developers sent us on Friday, they expect to receive the Inhabitation Licence for the first three blocks by January. They will then be in a position to deliver the properties during the first quarter of 2008. As soon as the Inhabitation Licence is delivered by the Town Hall, the developer will send a notification giving the completion timescale so clients can have the time to organise their mortgages, paperwork etc".

From what we have read on the Arenal Duquesa Forum this is what has happened on that other Prienesur development.

The difference would appear to be that the Benalmadena Town Council appears to be rather more "picky" than that in Manilva.

Hi Ken/Jenny,

Thanks for the update lets hope the licence is granted in January for the 3 blocks.It would also be nice to see some progress being made on the promised facilities around the site too.keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Dave.
