Hi All,

I am happy that ADH has gone to the wall.  Most of the so called Estate Agents here in Spain were no more than a bunch of cowboys. They got so many people into trouble over the years.  They all deserve to go the same way, they reminded me of  "time share touts" that caught me for an apartment in Tenerife many years ago!

I have pulled out of VH and done a deal with Promaga to buy a house instead in another location, I got 50,000 discount so I am happy.

I wish all the people who bought there the very best of luck in the future.  I know that some of you have lost your deposits and others are trying to get their deposits back through the courts...good luck with that.

To the people who contacted me through private messages, thank you for your input, all of it was useful and I think I put it to good use.

Best wishes,

 

Jono.

Hi All,

I went snagging last week in phase 4.  Promaga refused to move my deposit from phase 4 to 2 as they would have to pay the bank 50k to settle the mortgage, as I don't want one!  I had a good look round the apartment and was surprised to find it so small! 

They sold me an apartment with a living space of 119.16 M2 but I could only find around 69M2 inside the flat and 7 on the balcony, I suppose the remainder is made up of the space outside on the varanda... although VIVIENDA I have been told is "Living Space" which is on the brochure I got from them.  

Th say that Mr Givera is tricky is an understatement!  He is a shaddow that sneaks out in the dark, I have been to his office over 50 times and I have never found him available to discuss anything.  It is not good not to be able to talk to the man who makes all the decisions, has anybody seen him?

I am waiting for the final licence to be issued, I have been promised it for the last few weeks but I suspect August will be the earliest!

If anybody want to buy a nice 2 bed flat...let me know!!

 

Best wishes.

Hi All,

As stated in my blog, Promaga are NOT digging up the road, it is the contractors that have been made to do it by Promaga.  If you want to sue Promaga...go ahead.  I too would like my money back!  Let me know when/if you suceed?

Hi All,

As far as I know the water damage was negligable. It was Promaga's architect that insisted the builders dig up all of the water pipes behind block 8 and relay them. 

Phase 4 is almost ready and the licence will be issued soon I have been assured.  As for suing them, my advice is don't  throw  good money after bad!  Promaga has no money and suing them will only add to your costs.  I am sure the courts will give them every opportunity to escape any claims for delays because of the global downturn!!

Best of luck to everyone.

 

Jono.

Hi,

I was there today looking at a flat in phase 4.  There is always something to find (this is the 3rd one I have looke at)  I thought I had a deal for a 3 bed in block 8, then they went and dug up the road behind it because the water pipes were leaking! 

That has now been put back for a couple of months at least!  They also gave me a discount and have now withdrawn it because I would not pay cash of 100,000€!!!

I am finding Promaga very hard to deal with - and I am no amature in these matters - tricky is not the word for them.  I looked at a 3 bed in Block 2 today - the only one they had on the top floor - it is a nice flat, very well put together but the kitchen was dark because it was oposite the lift and the light was blocked out.  Now I have a dilema, go for that one or wait months for block 8 as there seems no other alternative. 

My wife is loosing the will to live and I am loosing my patience.  It's impossible to get any joy from them, the problem is Mr Givera is impossible to meet he is the only one that can make decisions and I just can't get passed Gloria in the front office!

If anyone has an opininon, I will be glad to hear it!

Can anyone let me know what they paid for a 3 bed in block 7 or 8?  Please send me a private message as I think they have two price lists!
