Advice please-Divorce and my rights?

We wonder if this is a record, after reading a number of you messages concerning

completion times, we originally came out in Feb 2003 with agents Medsea in Vera

Playa, and eventually completed on the 26th Sept 2006,and moved in on the 3rd

Oct.  Contract date was specified as May 2005, as yet no apology from Mar y

Casas, but we are not holding our breath.  Have any of you had snagging problems,

especially with ground floor properties?  E.G. A child with a pencil could open the

so called security shutters, and all the double glazing panels can easily be lifted off

their tracks. For 300 euros Palm Properties can remedy this, they know a man who

can.  Check your bath, on ours the enamel was flaking off, apparently the "bath

doctor" ! had been at it. We had to have it replaced after complaining at the builders

office.  This was just one of many instances of poor snagging by our agents.  Don't

rely on them and make sure you check everything,  we found a number of cracked

wall and floor tiles also and no wiring for a ceiling light in the shower room.  Fancy a

shower tray and no screens fitted, more expense!  Has anyone visited Gesisur the

community solicitors yet.  They wanted money up front for the installation of water

and electricity meters etc and the first 3 months of community charges. Have you all

paid up?  If you find problems on the complex do go and report to them.  We found

an open inspection pit full of water in the top pool area, a danger to young children.

No life belt anywhere and the pool depths are not marked it is 2.5m at the deep end.

despite all this we are very pleased we bought here, especially when we heard of the

huge Marina they are building up the coast, and I am sure in a couple years Los

Collados will be a great urbanisation.

I agree with you Los Collados will be great soon.

I was advised by Palm Properties that there is a commercial centre being built on the site shortly. It will make a big difference!!!

I was also shocked at the lack of security on the windows. Palm Properties fitted locks for us as well. They are very secure & not expensive.

Palm Properties have also done my shower screens. I stand by what I said in my previous message I do not think I would have got things like that sorted on my own. My Spanish is not that good. So thanks to all who recommended palm properties to me.

I have just returned from my apartment & had a lovelly time again. Shame about the weather for the last 2 days. It was raining.

Hi All

Just back today from completing on Block 4,2b Las Dunas. It did not go without a hitch, problems with the time booked to go to the Notary, then when we went to pick up the key at Mar Y Casa were told we had the wrong parking place and had to rush back to the Notary before we flew back. 

However we are very pleased with our purchase, inspite of the delay of over a year in completion. 

I must say thank you to all that recomended Palm Properties, Rich has been invaluable with the snagging and kitting out the apartment.

I have a question though. While out there, there was a notice up for an AGM of the community which took place on 11/11. Did anyone go and do we have a price for the community charges. Who do I need to contact about this?

Also how do we arrange for the connection of water and electric?
