All those owners that have or ever had the developers mortgage with a floor/suelo should contact me to discuss the possibility of claiming back money for wrongful application of the floor.

Oliverson,

Sorry to hear of your bad experience when letting your property out. Reading between the lines, you have handed your apartment keys out to someone who has no official business, no office address, no land line telephone number and is working from the back of a car. I guess that you wouldn't do this  with a second home in England, where it is much easier to manage, so why take the chance in Spain. When you enlist the services of a registered agency you have some protection in law and they are obliged in law to carry a complaints book where you can make an official complaint.

There is always risk when you rent your property out, be it holiday or long term, but if you use a registered agency, who have an established office, they can never run away from their obligations and should always be there to assist you when things go wrong and usually work closely with lawyers.

I think a few points need  making.As I understand it the developer did not commence the tropical garden for the love of the owners, this work is being done under an obligation with the town hall, just like the hospitals & schools. After all, they want the first occupation licence for the recently completed phases.

While I understand that many of you would like all communities too come together and put pressure on the developer to complete their obligations, this is easier said than done. Firstly, those of you who have experienced a community meeting will know that it is difficult  enough to resolve the most simple of issues, taking many hours. If we wanted to vote on an issue of this magnitude, we would need a full legal team on board along with all the owners and the individual administrators would need to co-ordinate such a meeting.

I think at this stage, we should all contact the developers head office in Cordoba individually and express our concerns at the delay in completion of the facilities and ask the question!!! Hopefully this might make them sit up and listen.

I keep saying this, if they would but see it, it is in their best interests to finish the golf course and other facilities, particularly if they want to sell the balance of apartments they hold.

Hi Samste,

Unfortunately not having a golf course in no excuse for withholding  community fees. these fees are fundamental in the running of your phase and without them, the lights go out!!!

When the golf course is finished and handed over, our fees will increase to pay for it, unless we vote to fund it on a pay & play basis.

You may find that some owners are not pushing for the completion because they are afraid of the impact on their fees. However we should all see the benefit of having all facilities completed, I say again it will add to the value of our investments and for those needing to sell, the process will be easier.
