Some of you may have read my previous message regarding David Robinson's arrival and what that might mean for the existing owners.
Following communication with him, I find that everything is not as it at first seemed. On the question of snagging, David's response was as follows:
We have signed a contract with Jale to look after the sales office in Fairways and sell the apartments which still remain unsold . The current contractor has taken over to finish the last 60 apartments has nothing to do with the sold apartments, and obviously it is not his responsibility .
If You are an owner who has bought and completed ,had the discussion of snagging already with jale please contact Toñi Fernandez in the main Estepona office on 952 904140. email estepona@jale.com
I interpret this to mean:
-
He is now responsible for selling the remaining properties, this is in his personal interest as he owns a number of them himself
-
Snagging on those 60 properties will be completed by the current contractors and managed by David Robinson
-
Presumably, he will also manage the snagging for those owners who have already completed and purchased directly from David in the first instance
-
There is no on-site representative from Jale to help the remaining owners
I am sure that a more proactive approach to selling the remaining apartments will be of benfit to us all but this deal leaves existing owners that did not buy through David in a pretty poor position.
I am not sure that if this transaction had been put before us as a community, we would have approved of it.
