PEUGEOT 107 1.4HDi FOR SALE

Our apartment is in Phase 2 (Block 8). 

We would like to bring to the attention of the owners of Apartments B5 and B6 that due to the heavy rainfall that Manilva had in January both apartments have suffered flood damage.

This was caused by the developer at the rear of Block 8 building a soil bank which fed the water down to the gardens at the rear and the water entered the walkway via the drain outlet.

Other issues on Phase 2:

Both driveway security gates are not working due to the following:

Upper gate - the hinge is coming away from the pillar and gate has to remain open for 24hours.

Lower gate - electronic gates are not working due to a fob key issue which the Condominium Services said they are aware of and are working towards a solution.

Upper Security Gate Walkway was left open 24hours a day and when we tried the new security code it didnot work.

Lower Security Gate Walkway would not even shut as lock is broken.

Rendering is coming off of the walls and the walls need to be rerendered (poor workmanship).

Walkway lights not coming on automatically when entering the building (take a torch)

In Block 8 we noticed that at least 25% of apartments are still not furnished.

Whilst we were on site lost water supply due to pump failure.  As the whole of Block 8 is fed from a tank if a majority of the apartments were occupied the water pressure would drop considerably.

Building Works are still going on and more apartments are still going up.  I think that the whole hillside will be covered with only a few green areas.  Very disappointed.  Chance of short term holiday lets seem very slim due to major development works still going on.

As we know Manilva is one of the regions outlined for major development and we were told when we visited the site with OVP that only 6% of the land would be developed.  Ha Ha!!!!!

We are wondering if Phases 1, 2 and 3 will all be grouped together for the Community Fees or will each Phase elect their own President. 

Before the Developer hands over the responsibilities for the site to the elected President all works which are outstanding must be completed by them so the owners are not subject to huge maintenance bills. We hope that all community Fees for the unsold apartments will be paid for by the Developer and will not be the responsibility of the other owners to contribute.

We noticed that satellite dishes have been put up on the terraces and if we do not have the Condominium Rules in place it will be very difficult in the future to enforce these.

Hi Susan8,

I have had written confirmation from Condominium Services that the 3 phases have a separate account and are indeed separate entities.

Also, I have been told (and don't have this in writing) that the individual satellite dishes are against regulation but no-one will do anything to enforce getting them removed.  I wasnt told this by Condominium Services so am not 100% sure.

For your development issues - rendering etc... please get on to Raul as soon as possible and put pressure on to get the problems resolved - while they still have a presence on the site. What I have learned is NO-ONE will do it for you. As phase 2 owners, ensure others also put the pressure on to and keep the prerssure on to resolve those problems. For the money we have paid all these things should be perfect.

I have Rauls and CS's email addresses if you need them (they are also posted on other recent threads on this forum- I just can't read them whilst typing this).

Email both. Condominium Services do not seem to be replying to anyone at the moment, but still email them so they know we are not happy.

Your comment about who is funding the uncompleted apartments is interesting, and also applies to us Phase 1 owners. We have asked for accounts from CS to substantiate our payments but they have chosen not to reply to anyone. However, things are moving along nicely now for organising our first AGM and electing a president, so the situation regarding who has been paying for the empty apartments will soon become apparent.

Regards

Nigel
