Phase 4

Hi,

Is anyone in Phase 2 completing in vistahermosa???????????

Can anyone help please? We went court to cancel our purhase contract thus avoiding completing on our unit> After the court finding in our favour it now turns out the banks against whom we are claiming (via the bank guaantee) are saying that they dispute the court ruling as LoFO were issued before our court case was heard ( by a few days!). Only in chaotic 2010 could this happen - acourt finds for an applicant and the bank 'corrects' them!!

My question is does anyone know with certainty which LoFO have been issued on this ill-fated developmen we all bought into in good faith, SO long ago?

Thanks very much

Dave

I believe quite a few aprtments in Phase-4 have been given the LoFO from Oct/Nov-2009. As long as you instigated the court action well before than then thats the date counts and that you had waited for the completion date, which was around Oct/Nov-2008. Hopefully your lawyer will follow this up with the court as the court's ruling counts - unless the defendant has appealed then it will have to go to 2nd ruling, which is final.

Hi FHS

thanks for your reply. We didn't instigate action early enough,  I fear. We have a competent, proactive lawyer (yes, really!) but even she iis doubtful of our success now. As she puts it, there is something amiss down at the court in La Linea, as in between the Xmas break and the return to work after 3 Kings, the licence on our apartment was issued, apparently! This seems an amazing, unlucky co-incidence, as the court knew we  were puttting papers together to file - as we repeatedly asked them if we were too late i.e had the licences been issued or was there time to lodge a claim. They wouldn't put anything in writing, then suddenly the licence has reputedly been issued - co-incidence - or what?

we 're trying to keep on with our action but a successful outcome is looking less likely..............Dave

Hi Dave

I think im in the same situation as yourself. When you say you didnt instigate action early enough, do you mean you didnt try to cancel your purchase contract before the FOL was issued or you didnt try to claim on your bank guarantee before the  FOL was issued?

Does anyone out there know if a bank guarantee is definately cancelled if the FOL is granted before claiming on it, even if we attempted to cancel purchase contract well before FOL was granted?

 Hi Ginge, & Dave. I cancelled my contract in Feb 09, but it as made no difference at all, we are told by LOS the only way to get our deposit back is through litigation, which we cant afford and no guarantee of winning. Regards John Bell

hi all,

i should be signing this week, is anyone in phase 4 in a similar position?

Hi All,

For those of you who have not yet signed on the dotted line............The builders guarantee is a joke, once you sign very little gets done afterwards. My house has damp problems, electrical problems, lose tiles, etc and they wont respond. Even the entrance to the building needs sorting out and we are still waiting 1 year later. On phases 3 & 4 I have seen flats with severe damp problems this winter, and they have just used blowers to dry them up and a fresh coat of paint so beware next winter. Make sure you check the walls for dampness. There are testers in the market you can buy for as little as £20 and they will save you a lot of headaches in the future. WHATEVER needs to be done, make SURE they do it BEFORE you sign. Promaga seems to be going bankrupt so all these guarantees wont be worth anything soon. If anybody want proof or tells you different, have a friendly chat any time with some of us who have been here for a year.

I appologise for the negative note, but I also bought this flat 5 years ago and was really looking forward to living here. I love the place but hate the workmanship and how they treat you once they have your money.

Regards

Tony

Hi,

I am about to sign but I am from Phase 2 and my flat does not have any dampness and looks quite okay. I also know that once I sign that's it but what can I do I really like my flat and it seems okay. The only thing I have not tested is the electricity and water, what excactly is wrong with your elec and water?

I know that some people have had problems but at least from Phase 2 I have not heard anything bad. I have little choice but I will probably complete soon (within a month or 2) fingers crossed.

Please let me know what your elec problems are.

Hi,

When the bloke from Endesa came to switch the electric on, the fuse box tripped and he told me that there probably was some dampness in the system but that it should dry up. After that I went ahead and installed the kitchen, alarm system, and air cons. It was all done like within a week. I still was having problems after everything was installed so I called promaga. They came and then told me that it was something that I just installed and that there was nothing wrong with the system. After 2 weeks of arguing and rechecking everything that was installed the problem was solved. Now one year later to the day I am having 3 to 4 cuts a day, and I am not the only one in the block (114). Promaga and the construction company say its my problem, so now I have to get an electrical engineer at my expense to try and source the proble out. With the dampness, just a visual inspection is not good enough. As i sais before they have put blowers in dried them out and painted them so they look ok. You need to test the walls.

Regards

Tony

Bur when you went for snagging were the walls okay?

If there was dampness you could probably smell it no?

I really do not think that with the summer there is going to be any dampness no?

I want to complete because I bought the house a long time ago 2004 and after seven years I would like to have something. Problem is that I could have these sort of problems once I complete or connect the water or electricity.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH why is this so difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi TonyGalea

I am interested to hear more about your comment "Promaga seems to be going bankrupt so all these guarantees wont be worth anything soon". What more do you know about this?

Thanks

FHS

Hi,

I Spoke to Tony last week regarding problems with electricity and water does everyone have problems with Electricity cuts and watre leaks?????

I would love to have sonme feedback from you all before I complete please............

Does anyone NOT have any problems with the flat????

hi there, it seens there quite some problems out there with the complex, di closing on my property by October last year, I live in Venezuela and last time at vista hermosa was on eastern vacation. the plase, looks pretty emptied I guest a combination of no sold units and few people moved at the time. the fact is the place looks with very poor maintenance. I belong to phases 3.  was the owners association created already? where could we have information on the number of people move in by this time? finally, by being so far , I woould like to be intouch by this means with some of the comunity neighbors and be posted on whats going on there. thnaks for any feed back.

Hi,

Even though the place is place half empty it is not that bad!

The place should be up and running soon including the pools, and there are always teething problems but the flats in phase 2 (at least my block 13) look okay.
