Support plea

Hi. I have recently completed on a penthouse - finally! - and am now in need of all the usual support services on site:

• Keyholding/cleaning
• Aircon instalation;  
• Electrical fitting + odd job work (shower screen fitting) etc.
• Furniture suppliers
• Anything else!

Over the past months I have tried to make notes of everyone's recommendations on this site but I am conscious that some may have fallen by the wayside.

So my apologies for asking for recommendations if many of you are already fed up with answering such pleas for help. However I would really appreciate any referrals you can give.

Many thanks.

Oh dear, I sense another 'keyholder bunfight' could be brewing here.

There's no shortage of keyholders out there who all come hightly recommended. We use Rob and Joanne of Fairways Property Scrvices and can't compliment them highly enough. They're friendly, helpful, and very professional. Rob is also a fully qualified joiner and can turn his hand to any odd jobs you want done about the apartment.

You can get their contact details from their website....

For furnature packs it's the same story, there is plenty of choice out there. I think some of them are struggling to keep their head's above water though so I'd be careful about making a big downpayment in case they go bust before you get your stuff delivered. We used Murcia Furnature and found them to be OK.

For aircon like a lot of people on here we used Polarair and have no complaints.

We too use Fairways Property Services but deal with Tracy and Mark who are a lovely couple. We used Chilloutcostablanca for our aircon and found them extremely helpful and professional.

As fior furniture DFS in San Javier are very good. We deal with Mike, who doesn't put any pressure on you at all. In fact, they advise you to get the feel of your apartment first before buying all your furniture. Also Fairways Property offer a interior design service and Tracy has been really helpful making suggestions and sending me photos of furniture that she thinks I may like and would be suitable for our apartment.

Best of luck whoever you choose. We're in Block 2, the views are fantastic aren't they?

Hi

We use Tracy & Mark for keyholding too.

Regarding other services: Gary at Polarair has been recommended to us and he is due to fit our ac in a couple of weeks. We used flatpaxabia to shop and deliver IKEA stuff and furnitureplus.es for white goods and several other bits of furniture. All english speaking.

We also shopped for bits and pieces ourselves: IKEA next to Thader in Murcia, Eroski, and the Mazarron sunday market for pictures and odd bits was good value!

Have fun with all that shopping!!!! :)

Hello there

We have Carol Milklar as our key holder &  came very highly recomended. Has a great team around her too.

For Aircon we used Polarair. again highly recomended & Snagit Murcia to do our snagging

If you are buting  furniture etc I have the new telephone number & email address  For him too

Infact I will Pm you with all email addresses.

Good luck with every thing. Its a very exciting time but my advice is dont rush every thing . do it as slow as you can &  then you dont get streede.

We have used Carol Miller (angelbabe on this forum) and she has been 1st class for us. Lives on the resort, is easily contactable and will work around what you actually need. I believe Carol can direct to suitable furniture contacts now although we furnished  ourselves (and used Polaris for some of that including aircon- no problems there either)  We also used Snagit Murcia for the snagging and they were also spot on. We used Real Domestics for all the kitchen appliances- again 1st class and apparently often on the resort so delivery isnt a problem. We may have been lucky but these are our recommendations.

re my last post

I really must get some new fingers & have my eyes re tested.

Can`t believe the amount of spelling etc errors

Sorry guys. i hope it didnt mess your brains up too much

Hope my PM to you was a lot clearer & easier to read

We use Carol as well.

Very nice lady, highly professional service and extremely helpful.

She even found some damp/damaged floor tiles on one of her weekly 'check-ups' and handled PW customer services on our behalf.

All we had to do was give her the nod. Amazing!

Such a relief to know someone like that is looking after our investment while we are not there.
