What's the best deal?

Hi philansy we are apt 33 top floor but in our English contract there is no mention of either ! Think we have all got different things being said to us. James said no one was getting kitchens as the builder got fed up with people on other developments trying to pick and choose different styles, as we all have different tastes dont we. But he said we should get wardrobes in one of the bedrooms, just couldn't say which!     

Its all a bit of a mess really isn't it

34 to 38 are facing the main road with the new building being built in front of us

It may just be the first and second floor I am just going off what urbasa told me if you dont have it in your contract you wont get it

Thanks for the info philansy. We have already got into our minds we wont be getting them now anyway. Just the apt will be a start!

We face the back road  but our plan is so faint we cant see 34-38 at the front. We must have a bad copy!

Thanks again JPD (John & Trish)

looking at our plans they go up like they do in england

32 34 36 38 and so on that is why you are prop at the back sorry jpd

we had a bad copy as well to start with like a fax shite init

Hi, I've just emailed Palmera asking for an update - they have replied to say they don't have any good news and the work hasn't yet re-started.  They said I will probably receive a letter from the main Palmera office in Malaga shortly.  If I hear anything else, I'll let you all know.........  Why can't they just finish what they started!!!

Ciao, you're obviously one of the lucky ones!  I too e:mailed Palmera (in Alicante) earlier this week for an update and haven't yet received a reply.  I wonder why!  And hi JPD, we've only just joined the forum but it looks like when we all eventually get into our apartments, we are going to be neighbours - we're in Apartment 28, back of building, top floor.  After a 3+ years wait, I think the first thing we all need to do when we get there is throw a party!

Just had an email from a friend out in Almaradi saying that the work in progress at the moment is only to the roads and the pavements around the complex which is nearly complete now, however apart from the crane being serviced and some glass panelling delivered nothing much more is happening, he’s coming home end of  Oct for a month but has promised to update me regularly on any news + or - .

I RANG URBASA TODAY TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HOLD UP IS,  I HAVE GOT TO RING THEM BACK TOMOZ, I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ON FRIDAY

I have just rang urbasa Almoradi office

AND IT SEEMS THAT THEY ARE PUTTING US OFF YET AGAIN

SHE TOLD ME AGAIN THE BUILDERS ARE STARTING IN ANOTHER MONTHS TIME AND IT WILL BE FINISHED IN 3 MONTHS TIME

LOOKS TO ME ITS GOING TO BE SUMMER 2007 BEFORE ITS FINISHED

Hi all, like everything else they are making us wait for this "letter". We rang in Sept and they were sending us all out a letter so couldn't tell us anything over phone then!

Manana Manana!  

Hi lajj the party sounds a great idea!  Think we will all be singing from our fooftops when we finally get our apts dont you! We are going over for Christmas so just to see someone working on it will be a good prezzie I think!!! Too much to expect it finished eh?

Cheers all!

Hi all

Will wait for the promised letter, the party sounds like a great idea

Hi all you long suffering amarioners.   I'm just back from a holiday in the Almoradi area and have been to the Urbasa office in Almoradi. I spoke to a Spanish lady who has memorized a script as to what to say when one of us contacts them. They are starting work in the next month and have been doing so since April. I asked her how many weeks there are in the Spanish month because to my reckoning there must be nearly 52!! She came out with cash flow story, then the selling of land, the builders finishing another job. I then asked her where the other job was, her reply, after some hesitation, was to say they were in Almaria.She took a chance on my not being able to go there and check.After a few more harassing questions she came out with a fresh angle to say they had put the work out to tender. I left the poor woman in a bit of a state to say the least. I know she is not to blame for the delays, but, hopefully she will report back to her superior in the mood I left her in.                                 My next stop was Palmera in Alicante to meet James. This man my be honest he has never given me a definite date or any assurance to say Urbasa are not going bankrupt. When I asked him about the work going out to tender he said it had been out since April. He said the reason Malaga office were dealing with the matter was that the directors were based there. I may be a bit cynical , but would this be a way of directing the problem away from him? If the promised letter is not hear soon it will confirm my doubs about  James           

Nice one haydngj

I hope that little rocket where the sun don't shine, let's them know that we are still here. It's a shame that they aren't in striking distance from the rest of us. I sent a not so friendly email to Alicante on Friday, ya never know, i may even get an answer.

Let the party begin (well maybe next year) ;-)

Regards

skinner (Dave)

just got in from our partying. when we go on 21st dec will go see james yet again let them be prepared! we will all stick together they wont know what they are up against. Thank goodness for websites like this. we are one team and the more we nag them who knows? they just think they can say what they like to each individual! lets stay together!

cheers all JPD (John & Trish) xx

Aparantly after January you can take them to court in spain and get your moneys back from them + interest 

if work as not started by then it may be a good idea to tell them this, we have waited long enough

did ya tke any pics haydngj  ? if so  love to see em

does anybody have the phone number of the Malaga office

Hi all, interesting to hear about being able to take Urbasa/Palmera (?) to court in January.  Not sure about everyone else but I think my preferred route would be to start negotiations at that time on some form of compensation.  As mentioned in an earlier message, not all apartments it seems are getting kitchens.  There's an opener for 10.  Don't sign until a kitchen is fitted and as a good will gesture, they can supply the white goods as well!  Might be a long shot but if you started buying 3 ½ years ago like we did I'm not sure now that getting our money back, with interest, is going to buy us a 3 bed, 2 bathroom property now in this area.

Definitly strength in numbers so lets keep the pressure and the pestering up and bring on the party!
