San Juan Office Closed

I have been to San Juan today and Peinsa have put a big sign on the door to say the offices are now closed and that any enquiries should be directed to Antonio or Patricia which is worrying. Whilst there an agent appeared with a client and was wondering what was going on. They haven't even told the agents selling these properties they have closed the office.

I have also been talking to someone who lives and works in San Juan in the industry and informs me of the possible reasons for the delay, I was told the following:

Peinsa and the golf developer adjacent, apparently originally ageed to finance the new independant electric power station needed for both these developements, this was part of the original agreement with Pulpi Town Hall and the permissions were based on this. It would now appear that more houses have been built than was originally planned (I assume this is with the agreement of Pulpi) and the original power supply planned is not big enough for both developements, houses and golf. The cost of providing electric has been estimated to be around 1 million euro's and that is were the problem lies, apparantly no agreements can be made as to who will pay for what, stale mate...

This will not big a quick fix and no habitation licenses are being issued until services to homes are independent of the builder and who knows how long that will take.

It would also appear that the Dutch people are now buying these properties unaware of the current problems and without Bank Guarantees! not a bad business plan if you can get away with it.

One agent I was talking to today said they were not selling anything on here now due to the current problems and time scales.

If you can wait a couple of years until it sorts its self out you will be OK but who want's to wait that long?

The road being built to Pulpi has come to a practical stand still as Pulpi appear to have run out of money for this year, there were a few workmen on the road site but not much going on.

If you want to know what is really going on I would suggest you speak to the council in Pulpi but this is what I have heard from a very good source. The agents and solicitors will only tell you what they want you to hear.

Patricia's tel no: 0034 627 484 404

Antonio's tel no: 0034 600 484 431

Alternative office no: 0034 968 192 511

Bit of a shame as San Juan is a very nice location and has a lot going for it in the future...perhaps one of the best beaches in Spain!

Do not know if all you say is correct but the adjoining development Sun Beach as iot was known is being mothballed...golf course finished but not open and they are just going to finish what they have started

Please see my post on Sun Beach Forum for other info

Hi, which bit of what I say are you not sure about as I do not want to be posting information if it is not correct? and also do you have any other information that might be helpful to buyers?

I strongly suggest that everyone stops listening to hearsay, tittle tattle and downright bullsh*t.

Ive never heard so much rubbish coming from so called 'experts' in San Juan.  Particularly about pulpi town hall finances and work project times which is all financed from central government and EU money. running out of money my arse!

How is any of this waffle, conjecture and speculation doing anything positive for the village?

I think people are quite fed up with being told Bull**** as you say from so called agents to be honest, if you are saying what this agent has told me is untrue then you must know the real story please feel free to enlighten everybody with your untold wisdom becuase the last person I would listen to is a so called 'expert'. It's very easy to paint a rosie picture of what is going on at the moment but are your life savings tied up in this developement? I think not. The only people who really know that are Peinsa and if they can't be bothered to tell the truth or even communicate with buyers then I for one wouldn't trust them.

This forum is to share information and not to BULL**** buyers into thinking everything is OK when it obviously is not!!!

i made no comment about CDP, i was mearly giving me 2p worth on the pulpi/road etc statements, as i live in front of it, I also own 3 propertys in San Juan so yes it does affect me thanks.

Hi I have been told office is closed because patricia is unwell.?

I just went in to see her and it was open about 10 minutes ago.

Nice to know! Thanks Richard
