We have purchased a Azucena in November 2005 F4 R10 No: 623, and we were told the completion would be Jan 2008.  From reading some of the comments on the message board, it looks like this is far from the truth, can anyone shead some more light on this subject, and some more up to date pictures would be nice.

We are visiting Santa Ana in May.  On our return we will update the message board then on whats happening.

Hopefully SADM will update us all in the next couple of weeks.

As an aside, on the 30th March, a few of us are meting up at Jackie & Bob's hotel in Torquay which isn't a million miles away from yourselves, be nice to meet up with you if you can make it. A lot of info will be shared there I'm sure

Hi Andy & Lynne

I'm near to you with the same completion date. I'm still hopeful that this will still be accurate but, as Darren says, we should know soon.

Hi all,

we are on R10 no:160 also and we were told may 2008. i am going over there today for 10 days, i will see if  i can get some answers while i am there and also some new pictures.

I asked San Jose for an update on completion dates a few weeks ago and they told me my completion date is June 2008

Hi all

we were given Jan 08

R10 No 93

I think those of us on R4 are still waiting to hear

but Darren did say he had a document which has been sent to agents saying there is a 6-12 month delay !!!!!!.

Never mind I will enjoy being put up for that long at SJ's expense

Linda,

Not a 6 mth delay, its a doc that all sales agents get which shows what properties are still available in Phase 1, their cost, plot size and anticipated completion date. So....looking at some of the proprerties on their, and for example in the vicinity of my own (R17-No.54), properties are indicated for release in mid 2008 when I had a date of Sept 2007. So...will they build my property and go off and develop other 'sold' properties first before someone buys the property next door and they return to build it....that I very much doubt. The document cannot be taken 'as read' that the information it details is correct, it's an indicative guideline to property availability and release.

So in essence, what I am saying is it will be very interesting to hear what SJG have to say regarding property completions. As you will respect (for them and us), it would be very damaging for them to put out a negative message regarding delays.  So we must all wait for the information they officially release and what our agents advise us

Hope that helps clear it up......clear as mud to me !!!

Darren

Darren

Must listen more carefully in future now I understand

Thanks

I had a letter from Ambasun in December stating that SJ said there was a delay in 3 to 6 months.

Ian

There's no answer to that then is there

is it  just the ones further along which will be a bit late ?

we will have to sit and wait as before

Hi all.

S.J. have just started building in earnest and it is now March and our completion date is NOW March 2007, so with the building of some roads and at least one swimming pool which you will need, as well as the electric, gas and water connected to obtain a Habitation Licence, i do not envisage our completion date being much before January 2008. Even then the snagging will have to be done and submitted to S.J. as there are bound to be a few, albeit small things to correct. When the builders have put those things right and the final payment is made to S.J. we are not looking to be able to move in much before March 2008. A year late. I think S.J. may well take on more contracters to speed things up, so people further down the line, may not be as much as 12 months or more behind, but those of us on R-4 i think are looking at a 1 year delay.

Bob, agree with your assessment, presume that is the reason why sj have remained silent on new completion dates, could be a headache for some being so far behind schedule.

I would think that maybe SJ don't want to say anything till the June deadline in the contract

 it seems it is only the first 4 rows who have this date Linda Needham is on row 5 and has a May date

which will be the first as it will cost them a lot in compensation

As you say Bob we have to get the habitation licences first before parting with our hard earned

I would also agree with your assessment Bob.  My completion date is also March with the extension takes it to June but no word from SJ as yet. 

Hi Auntie Linda.  Yes, we have some good weather this week.  I sincerely hope it stays that way for all the people who are coming out to Spain in March and there seems to be loads.  We are back to 22 degrees for the past 3 days.  Weather this year is really strange.  We have had some terribly high winds that gust on an off since December.  Normally they dont come until April and then only for a few days.  For those of you that have been to stay the ugly building David and I call the goat shed, for reasons I wont go into here, had the roof ripped completely off including strong metal beams it was attached too. December was colder than February this year which is unheard of.  The blossom is out everywhere and it looks brilliant.  Winter (if its at and end), has been extremely short this year with temperatures up and down like a yo yo but also not anywhere near as cold as it has been for the last 5 years.

Our completion date on contract is March too !! but SJG is not prepared to give us a completion date despite weekly requests

Hi , somone who has just returned from spain today has queried whether sj have the licence to build the golf course, this could be just another rumour it is on the sadm website, there seems to be very little progress on this front and cant really understand why they are not steaming ahead if all permissions are in place.

Chanta. I dont really understand why they are not getting on with the golf course either, other than the fact that because of the delays the contractor may well be on another job now.  I did read the articles in the local papers which said that the permission to go ahead was granted a while back, but it also could have been the first part of a very long process as is usually the case in Spain, as you know.  If you ask anyone at SJ, regardless of who, they  go very quiet but again they are not good at communicating with each other. I have always put this lack of communication down the the 'what business are you in' syndrome and they are at the end of the day a construction company not a communications company or a sales company but when you try to get anything on the golf course you hit a brick wall.

 

I think that SJ themselves dont know when the first builings will be ready untill they actually start laying the red bricks they wont committ themselves so they wont let people down its a shame for those who have sold up all ,living in caravans etc that I have read about.

 

On the golf course I think they will get that ready inline with Phase one so I would think Xmas 2008

Keep your chins up guys
