We will be in Spain 13th November with some friends, looking forward to a visit to Hurchillo.

We will be with Iberian for the 14th, furniture, bank etc...but after that hopefully we will  have some spare time. We are there until the 18th...and we are looking forward to meeting our neighbours.

As usual if anyone wants specific photos ....let me know and I will do my best.

I am up for a couple of beers, so any date 15th-18th and a location will do me.

Kevin and Wendy  (No.14 Phase 3)

We were in Hurchillo at the beginning of Oct and enjoyed a tour of the local nightlife with our two guides Kevin ( from No 5 phase 1) and Jim,  but forget "only going out for a couple of beers" and don't plan on going to bed before 2am but what a great night was had by all !!

All joking apart, Kevin and Jim have been a great help to us over the last 6 months and Kevin is in the process of fitting the grills and window security locks at number 20 phase 2 so if anyone wishes to inspect his work feel free to go and have a look and get him to give you a quote.

Look forward to seeing you all next time we are over.

Neil and Karen

Hi all,

We have just returned from Hurchillo, having had a couple of days to get up and meet some of our future neighbours and have a good look round.

Kevin and Lorraine were very good to us, welcomed and watered us and were a mine of information answering all of the questions we had. Thanks again both of you.

With Kevins help I managed to see a little more of no 14 than I had expected!.

I have some Fotos of the place and include No`s 46 and 48.

The only info I have is much the same as everyone else has it could be completed by Feb, March and should be totally finished by July, but things are really cracking on at the moment. Nothing more on the pool...............

Thats it

All the best

Kevin and Wendy H  (14 on 3)

Hi, Stan and Diane

Thanks for the e.mail.....I have put a load more fotos on including No 21 fase 3..... and fase 1 and 2.

The sunset is at the marina at Cabo Roig ..........directions available...brilliant staff only too willing to help....we went twice in the week we were there. A beautiful location, good restauraunt and staff and beautiful views.

The work at Olivia  is coming on well and there seems to be nothing that is too much trouble to ask about your individual property, there is always an answer. From the guy below

When you go over, Kevin at No.5 fase 1 is the man to talk to...(Sorry Kev) (Got to be worth a pint)

We are out again in February 07 and look forward to meeting you all again.

Kevin and Wendy H

Stan and Diane

Hi both,

We are much in the same boat as yourselves....not being overly sure.

We have been advised to stick with what Iberian  have to offer Isurance etc and then when 12 months or so have gone past....see where we stand.

It does seem to be doom and gloom on other websites...but we hope things will be different for Olivia

If we can find better then we will move. If not wewill stay where we are.

Regarding banks...we have opened an account with Bank Inter, probably not the cheapest, but until we have got to grips with living inSpain..we will stay with them.

I hope you got my e.mail re photos....thanks again.

Make sure you get plenty of practise in if it`s a new camera.

Looking forward to meeting you soon...

Kevin and Wendy H  (14 on 3)

Hi all,

We used The Halifax in Torrevieja, their service was excellent. Iberian don't like them because they do things "The British Way" (i.e. all the I's dotted and the T's crossed) before they release any money. They also will not take cash for the builder when completing and recommend you don't either (do you fancy walking the streets with £7000 in your pocket, another reason Iberian don't like them) they give the builder a credit note for him to collect the cash part of the deal from them, the builder seemed ok with this.

We also had no problem with Aroca, between Paul the manager of  the Halifax, the solicitors, the builders and ourselves we sorted it out. Iberian didn't want to know as we were not using one of their recomended banks and "you'll only have problems if you use a bank we haven't recommended"  The Halifax even sorted out he insurance for us with Zurich which was quite reasonable.

So the upshot is we used Aroca and the Halifax and had no problems with either, in fact the people at the Halifax went out of their way to be of help. Our only problems have been with Iberian.

Hope this is of  help

see you soon Karen & Neil

Hi all,

Just a thought for those of us who have a GPS system in our vehicles. Dont set your home address with the full details. i.e street, no. town etc,  just put a general location.

If the thing gets stolen, as they are a lot at the moment, it will tell the thief exactly where you live and worst still take them there.

We are in Hurchillo again 25th Feb. for a week. Any requests.

All the best

Kevin and Wendy
