Part Load To Spain From UK

Hi all with interest in Cortijo

Thank you to those of you who have shown interest in forming a group of us to lobby the " powers that be" in relation to this build however we do need more of us to push any weight, just reply to me if you do not wish to post a message..

I have some pictures I took in April 2006 they clearly show FIVE stories have been built on block A , anyone with any comments to this?

Bye the way the name is Andy, Harry is my dogs name

Regards

Hi Andy, I can only comment on some blocks as I have a price list from 11/06/2003, which at least shows blocks C, D1 and D2 as having a garden floor, second floor, and then penthouse on floors 3 and 4.

On 19/07/2005 we received an email from Casa Blanca (the estate agent that we purchased through) asking us to acknowledge a change to block D2, stating that the penthouse we have purchased would change from level 3 to level 4.

So at least block D2  would have a garden floor, second floor, third floor, and penthouse on floors 4 and 5.

 So as far back as 19/07/2005, Aifos knew that at least some of the blocks would have that additional floor.

See Thread "Aifos rumours" Frustrated Owner and reply that I got back from Christine Mollet at Casa Blanca

Hi

Seems that all is quite at the moment I guess we are all waiting and hoping to hear  something at the end of this month.

During this time can anyone confirm if  work is still going on at all on site?

HI

There seems to be postings about Aifos in General Chat Aifos developers thread, seems there are far more than just us having Aifos problems

Hi

Has anyone have any latest information on the site?

The latest I have is a few pictures of the site taken last week by a local friend who said he read, build will be completed Spring/Summer 2008

Regards

Thanks Jim I am sure we will all be very interested in any news you may have

Kind Regards

Hi

Having meet up with friends this last weekend who have bought and sold a number of times whilst living in Spain and also buying at Cortijo we all have agreed that this current situation is nothing new, I remember a conversation in 2003 " you would probably have to wait five years for completion" seems now to ring true, Not withstanding the continual stories about the developer Aifos, mostly all bad we have decided for the moment anyway to wait as we believe this complex will be completed. Its fair to add that of course all  financial arrangements are unique to individuals and you will have your own reasons for making your decisions.

Any news from those who have been to site or are going would be very welcome.

Regards

(patient) Andy

We have just been contacted by Casablanca, who also confirm that there are no legal problems with Cortijo. They estimate that there is between 8 -9 months building work remaining.

Can anyone tell me the order that things happen on completion?

What I would really like to know, is do we complete before the licence to occupy is granted, or after?

It would be interesting to know if we could potentially be paying mortgage on a property for 18 months, before we could actually use it.  

Hi,

I hope some of the recent information posted has given us some reassurance.

What I thought would be of interest is to see how many of us are involved at Cortijo so if you are could you please spare a few moments just to acknowledge this posting, I am sure it would be of value.

Kind regards

Andy

Thank you for those who have replied so far, again I thought it would be a good idea if we tried to ascertain all those who are involved (frustrated ), if for nothing else I am sure we will meet at some time after this has been completed. I appreciate that the complex has a large number of properties and only a few of us may have found Eye on Spain to exchange views and information. I did notice that when this "Any News" thread has a new posting the number of hits increases,15 views since the last few postings so I guess there must be more of us, I have had three replies to date. With myself and Tinker that makes five.

I hope nobody thinks I am getting obsessed by this the only reason is for a collective interest so please reply if you have not all ready either direct or through this thread.

Good luck and regards
