Does anyone know what if anything is happening on the first occup. licence for la reserva de marbella.

It appears that it is very difficult to sell without it.

There appears to be a silence out there from people who seemed to know a lot of info last year.

The questions still remain.

whats happening re the licence issue.

whats the position on demolition.

is it not a wounder the licence issue has not been sorted out by now.

Has anyone any information.

2008 could be a difficult year for property owners trying to sell in La Reserva.  I really feel sorry for those who are trying to sell and cant and who are under pressure to sell.

Can anyone give them any info on the current position or where they may find a good tenant to rent their property.

Hi Goonan

I know what you mean about previous contributers being quiet.

As I have said previously the developer is still advertising properties for sale. I can't see that even they would do this in the present climate unless they were confident that licenses will be granted.

There are other properties opposite LaRdM that have been started and stopped left derelict eyesores for a few years now. Surely if demolitions were in the offing these would go.

I as a resident don't believe that demolition of a large complex like this would not be a viable solution under any circumstances. Why turn a nice developement into an area of a large bombsite, it would take years of lorries traveling up and down the hill and what would they do with millions of tons of rubble anyway. It certainly wouldn't return it to rural.

Many people have mortgages on properties here, who I am sure would not pay if their property was demolished, that would lead to a bank crisis on the costa. The courts would be full for the next twenty years with claims and counterclaims, from owners, deelopers, banks and utility companies.

I can't see that the local government would have spent millions on the new pgou on which LRdM is included if there was a chance that things would change so dramatically. They would have left it of in the first place.

In the block I live there are many tennants, most of whom work in the area, and from what I hear it is not difficult to rent out long term from e600 to e800 per month depending on the property.

Rental here is growing as an alternative to purchasing, with people enjoying the lifestyle without making the commitment to purchse at the moment.

And so endeth todays Rant

Keep 'em coming

John

For what it’s worth I was watching a programme on television before Christmas which suggested that it would be towards the end of 2008 before the Licences would be sorted out.  I gather the PGOU has to be approved first.

As regards the demolitions I think people are generally silent because they are tired of this subject and have heard all the stories before.  Some properties are being demolished because they are clearly illegal.  This was signalled previously by the authorities and is causing a stir now because the demolitions are actually going ahead.  I don’t believe LDM is under any particular threat however.  The complex is included in the PGOU and although their were some irregularities the outcome is that the developer has to give up part of his land by way of compensation.  My  understanding is that he is agreeable to do this.  In the meantime demolitions will continue for those properties which are beyond redemption.

best of luck everyone

I was told by a large estate agent in marbella that banks are not giving mortgages for la Reserva and is making it very difficult to make sales

Not sure whether anyone in the right mind believes estate agengts large or small.  Anyway this rumour has been posted many times before and been proved wrong which is probably why the forum has gone quiet, too many people saying the same things over and over again and made it very boring and unhelpful.  Over soon and looking forward to some sun and a great time in our mortgaged apartment!

Have a great time in la reserva. we were over 2 weekends ago, the shop is open has all the basics including fresh bread and milk.  We discovered the underground carpark opposite hypercor in pueto banus , under the shopping mall where you can hire fast poser cars is free for the first hour!!! i couldn't work out why the machine kept spitting my ticket out. the weather was 20 -24 C so lets hope its still shinning.
