Hi Dan

Here is some information that I posted after our visit to snag our 3 bed in June hope it helps I have copy and pasted it below



Hi All

A little further information from our recent visit which mat assist:-

Full postal address of Condado as follows:-

Jardines de Alhama (or whichever phase you are on)
Jardine ??; percela (apartment number)
Condado de Alhama
Ctra Mazarron Km 33
30840 Alhama - Murcia
Espana

Electrical goods seemed to me to be best from Carrefour Hypermarket, Murcia I got the following prices for stainless steel goods (not just silver coloured they were cheaper) as follows:-

Dishwasher - make Icecool - 279 euros AAB rating
Washing Machine - make Samsung A rating 299 euros
Fridge Freezer - make bluesky 499 euros A rating
Microwave - Make Horno 119 euros
Flat screen TV - make LG 32 inch all singing all dancing 599 euros

All of the above were on special offer at the time but I think it is a store that constantly has offers on different items.

Stainless steel pack from Polaris (fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave) 2315 euros
Silver pack as above 1708.67 euros
White pack as above 1382.72 euros 5% discount was offered to me on these packs

Lights on the 3 bed apartment:-

3 outside lights (2 front, 1 back)
2 lights in the living area
1 light kitchen area
1 light hallway
1 light in small bedroom (bedroom 3)
2 lights in each of bedrooms 1 and 2
2 lights in bathroom (one of them was above the sink but from the ceiling not the wall for a light above a mirror I suppose)

Measurements for various items:-

Dishwasher or washing machine space in the kitchen 600 deep 600 wide 875 height
Fridge freezer space 600 deep 625 wide 1870 height
Washing machine space on rear patio 26 in wide 36 in high depth not really an issue

Livingroom floor measurements from patio windows to kitchen counter 149 in from side wall to edge of kitchen counter 8 ft (sorry forgot to write down the additional width from the end of the counter to the other wall - guess at approx 2 1/2 to 3 ft)

Bedroom 1 106 in x 118 in
Bedroom 2 119in x 92 in
Bedroom 3 79 in x122 in

Inside of the wardrobe should you wish to put drawers in 20 deep x 40 wide (just measure half of the wardrobe)

I did measure the windows for curtains but it all depends where you should want to put the curtain poles etc as above the window frame is plastic housing where the outside blinds are:-

The front patio window was 7 ft x 6 ft 2 in wide
All the bedroom windows measure the same I have measured from above the plastic housing which is where I plan on putting my curtain poles but this is obviously personal choice 54 in H x 54 in W
Bedroom patio window 92 in H x 74 in W

Sorry for the mish mash of old and new measurments I still work in feet and inches when I can !!!!

When we went into homesyle there were more staff than customers but it was later in the day. The guy could speak excellent English and was extremely helpful even when I messed him about a little he just smiled and carried on. What I didn't get my head around at first ,which may assist you, is that I didn't want all the items in the furniture pack as the apartment would have been far too cluttered. He basically said that I could swap and change anything I wanted however once you break the pack the items are priced individually and therefore a hell of a lot dearer. If you take tha furniture pack complete as it was you also get a discount as you are buying one of their properties (10%) 5% on the white goods pack (although you can get these items cheaper), then the silly thing is it is worth it to just throw the items you don't want in the skip...!! or sell them to a neighbour.... It's mad really, my furniture pack was exactly 4000 euros delivered, unpacked, fixed and fitted and the rubbish taken away. Works out at about £3,360 at today's exchange rate and for that we got the following:-

4 single beds (which zip together should you want doubles) Including mattresses and headboard for each bed
Bedside Cabinets
Bedside lamps
Pillows
Dining table and 4 chairs which extends to a fair sized table would easily seat 6 (this is going on the back patio as too big for apartment)
Large mirror and shelf
Double bed settee and armchair for living room (bed settee is a 2 1/2 seater settee)
Large coffee table
small coffee table
table lamp
2 x tv units
1 Wall unit (glass fronted)

Beds seems to be dearer to buy in Spain compared to the UK, at the end of the day I was happy with what I have ordered and all the hassle taken away.

Hope this helps

Jackie and Andy ;)

Hi Jackie

Homestyle is the Polaris furniture shop next door to the main Polaris offices.  They do have a website via the Polaris main website but they don't seem to have updated it in quite a while as the furniture packs on offer in the shop don't all appear on the website.  Don't get me wrong a lot of their furniture is very expensive but I was chuffed with what I got it's worth a look if nothing else.

OOOOH ERRR DAN !!!! I've never been asked that one before but we could give it a try 

Seriously though I wouldn't like to say we did measure it from floor to the top cupboard and when we were looking around at various fridge freezers some were just that bit too big to fit into the space height wise.....

hi Dan
I was told, by sone of the furniture shops, that some of the measurements had differed by a couple of mm, for the fridge freezer as there is a cupboard above.  They recommeded we get smaller than 1870 just in case it doesn't fit
