I was also present at the AGM and agree with all of Nigels comments.

Manilva Beach phase 1 is a great spot for holiday makers. 

There is now a realy good team in place to make sure this development will meet everyones expectations.

We will be installing permanent sunshades, loungers and sky tv with immediate effect so that anyone who holidays on this development will want to return time and time again.

Dan.

My advice is to get the furniture in and worry about the air con afterwards.  Villapac should have no problem in doing this if the hold up is with the ducting which affects the air con and not the furniture installation.  The celing where they install the air con unit is in the shower room.  I know as I had the same problem with ducting.  I got the furniture in and Steve and Jason then put in the air con and had a real big job with the installation.  My celing had to be lowered and everything.  They are very good at their job and real professionals and should be fine with this arrangement.  I even had a kitchen installation on the go at the same time so dont be under the impression that air con has to go in first because it doesent.

If you think about it if you can get your appartment furnished then at least you have the majority of what has been promised to you which has to be a better position than they are in now.

Cheers.  I hope this helps.

First of all Thank you to Ben Pitt for sending out letters on behalf of Joe Ashton.  This was really helpfull and owners from phase 1 now seem to be slowly getting in contact.  It is very important that all owners on Phase 1 contact joe.  Ben please advise any owners of this that may come through to you on the phone.

We are concerned that only a percentage of owners seem to be contributing to community rates and a lot of owners seem to be under the impression that they should not pay as they havent had their furniture and air conditioning.   I would advise all to read the following snippit taken from the HORIZONTAL LAWS which applies to us all. 

The horizontal laws can be downloaded from the internet for free and should be read by all owners so that we all fully understand our obligations.

 

Entering a Community and the Role of the President

What is a community and what will it cost me?

Nearly everyone buying a home in Spain will automatically become a member of a community. They will be expected to contribute financially to the community in line with their share or “coefficient”. This share is written into the title deeds “Escritura” of the purchased property and is not changeable except in rare circumstances (sub division etc.). The coefficient is calculated when the community is completed and, as a rule of thumb, is roughly proportional to the size of your apartment or house in relation to the overall size of the community.

What you actually pay will be your share of any expenditure* agreed at an Annual General Meeting or an Extraordinary General Meeting. It is your responsibility to be aware of these charges and to pay them ignorance is no excuse and bills are not sent. There are two very good reasons for paying your community charges on time. The first is the moral issue as you are expecting your fellow owners to finance you if you do not pay and in some cases the community will deteriorate as, of course, the cleaners and gardeners won’t work for nothing. The second reason is that the community now has the ability to (through court action of course) freeze your bank account and seize the apartment. Of course this is always a last resort and time consuming but the community always wins and the costs are charged to the delinquent owner. The community can also apply penal charges to late payments and owners in debt have no voting rights at a meeting.

Hi to all.

I just want to let you guys know that if any of you would like to stay on Manilva Beach phase 1 during your visit to view progress at Manilva Gardens then my 1st floor pool facing fully furnished appartment with air con/ heating may well be available for short term let.  If mine is not available then I know other owners on phase 1 who would also be happy to oblidge.

It makes sense to try and help each other out and keep as much revenue internal as possible regardless of which development you are on. 

Please send me a private message if you are interested.

Many Thanks

Glen.

Hi.

I have a new 2 bed, 2 bathroom appartment on Manilva Beach development Phase 1

 

It becomes available on 17 March when the current tennants move out.  The appartment is a first floor appartment facing the gardens and communal pool.  It has underground parking and storage room and lifts.  It is 2 minutes walk to beach and a 2 minute drive to Duquesa.  It is fully furnished with a fully fitted kitchen.  It is a really nice quiet spot.

Many thanks

 

Glen Gardiner.
