6Almanzora Country ClubNo11No Can't comment on the building work as after 3 years still waiting for it to be built!!
9Almanzora Country ClubNo11No The building have stopped in October 2005 and we are still waiting for the return of our monies since Oct 2006
13Almanzora Country ClubNo11No Developer still has no licence to build at this time!
16Almanzora Country ClubNo31No No communication at all for months at a time
48Almanzora Country ClubNo11No Diabolical service - I feel completely ripped off by this builder and it's shoddy service!!!
122Almanzora Country ClubNo31No This developer was recommended to us as very good however our experience says otherwise.
177Almanzora Country ClubNo11No The build was stopped over a year ago without any completions, so the questions relating to quality of build are not strictly appropriate. The reason for the poor 'rating' is that we were never informed about any problems by the builder or agent and actually found out about the stoppage from a forum on your website. The service from both, and our solicitor, is still very poor.
204Almanzora Country ClubNo31No vERY diificult to pin them down,say all the right things but nothing ever happens.2 years down the line and they haven't even got the proper planning permission
224Almanzora Country ClubNo31No The build was stopped completely, awaiting Junta approval, but little or no info. has been supplied re. progress. As only a few of the 2000+ properties have been started build quality cannot be judged.
255Almanzora Country ClubNo41No the agent and developer sold this development knowing the final licence was not in place, consequently, 2 1/2 years down the line, we are still waiting for them to commence build again
261Almanzora Country ClubYes55Yes
289Almanzora Country ClubYes55Yes early days yet not ready till dec 07
322Almanzora Country ClubNo44Yes Others had a lot more problems than us - think we were very lucky completing before the corruption scandal really got going
332Almanzora Country ClubYes33Yes Was given a completion date for December completion and building was finished on time. Notified by MASA, but completion process held up by builders doing necessary paperwork.
402Almanzora Country ClubNo33Yes unfortunately this development (similar to most spanish developments) has been delayed, I am not phased by this as far as I am concerned the longer it takes the more time I have to save some extra pennies, but I guess some people maybe disappointed.
427Almanzora Country ClubNo22No They have not provided enough facilities. There is nothing to do in the immediate vacinity at night. There is no bus service. It is too isolated.
455Almanzora Country ClubNo31No The Developer Sold properties fully aware that full planning was not in place. We purchased of plan in good faith through a very reputable company Parador 3years ago. We are currently out there on our own with little or no help trying to retrieve are monies. We officially gave notice last Sept 06 that we were pulling out.The developer never came clean and always reported in a way to make things actually better than than they were. ie Things are progressing well we will have full planing Authority by? we have had these repots on many an occassion our patience finally ran out.We now have many sleepless nights just wondering when we will have our 60k plus returned. Mywife is suffering from severe stress re the on going saga.
481Almanzora Country ClubNo11No Unprintable
506Almanzora Country ClubNo33No The development is so far behind schedule we dont know when it will be completed.
560Almanzora Country ClubNo31Yes We cannot comment on quality as none of the properties have been completed yet.The developer should not have advertised the properties until he had the proper licences in place. The rating given is based on the showhouses on site.
562Almanzora Country ClubNo31No Unable to comment on the above questions fully as completion of our property should be Feb 07 as yet building is still to be restarted.
571Almanzora Country ClubNo33No their was no contact from the developer until 2 months ago when a glossy mag appeared in an artists form giving the outline of acc, meanwhile our money is frozen we have recieved a bank garuntee that through a website takes a long time to recieve any monies back. we have stood by all the rules as laid out by the agent /developer. at this time we do not know what to do next
576Almanzora Country ClubNo31No
577Almanzora Country ClubNo43Yes Despite the delay in build, Huma are pulling out all the stops to complete the development as quickly as possible now that the planning is finalised. (Although the roads are still to be passed) They have notified us of progress throughout and assured us that they have brought in extra builders to help with the construction. Buyers from their previous site have bought again on the new development, so that is a good reassurance.
642Almanzora Country ClubNo31No I paid the deposit, a further payment (totalling (€50,000). The deadline for completion passed and a further 6 months too. I discovered the development was not legal. Fortunately, there was a bank guarantee in the contract. I took legal advice from a Spanish lawyer in Canterbury and I finally succeeded in getting a full refund. According to Spanish law there should have been a further 6% interest per year refunded to me. I have not paid a bill sent by the Spanish solicitor (recommended by the Agent). I consider I was lucky to get my money back!
651Almanzora Country ClubNo11No They lied to us about licenses and size of proposed site.result all building stopped and we loose £6-8000.
673Almanzora Country ClubNo31No
715Almanzora Country ClubNo32No Developer had to close the site, waiting now for Junta to give the OK to commence building.
730Almanzora Country ClubNo11No Can't really rate quality of build as it is not built. They have sent us a shiny new brochure even though we are not buying now - I think they don't know that. We have bought in Crete instead.
732Almanzora Country ClubNo31No Cannot comment on quality as the development is not complete
746Almanzora Country ClubNo33Yes As there is no building going on and there hasn't been for months it's not possible to give a rating.
781Almanzora Country ClubNo41No The build quality is based on another development (Mazzaron) as they are currently not building on ACC it is not possible to say with regard to our property which we have now pulled out of.
822Almanzora Country ClubNo11No THEY SEEM TO BE UNAVAILABLE FOR COMMENT AND WHEN THEY DO ANSWER THEY FOB US OFF WITH LIES AND EMPTY PROMISES.VILLA WAS DUE NOV 06
828Almanzora Country ClubNo11No Not sure if I would recommend. Dont really know if the delays are the developers fault.
844Almanzora Country ClubYes11No Not trust worthy . Unable to provide bank guaratees
