build quality

Having stayed at Roda over the last few years i would love to purchase a property, the location is very good and the golf course is great, although expensive, but the build quality seems very poor, the exterior render finish is appalling, and the sound insulation is none existant, the movement cracks although not unusual, are made worse on some propertys, because they have been patched so badly , i have stayed on phase 1 & 2, i was wondering if the quality is better on later phases. also having spoke to residents over the last few years, no one seems convinced on the new airport at Corvera working because of the delay on the Paramount theme park project. the big airlines will not commit until they have assurances on the theme park, so will the airport just become another ghost town like some of the others in Spain . i know easyjet have released their flights for next year at the old airport .Some residents have told me they have still not got all the investment they were hoping for from China, and with this in mind the finish date of 2015 is pie in the sky, if a start date has'nt happened.

Hoping for some good information from you guys

Build quality is very variable over the whole resort as different builders were employed by Calidona not only for each phase but for particulare blocks or houses.

The block I'm in is pretty good - no major cracks that I can see and the render finish is okay too.

Yes the sound insulation isn't the greatest but have you tried anywhere else?
Roda is the same as most places and nowhere near as bad as an apartment we stayed in on the Costa del Sol in March. It felt like next door were actually in the apartment with you!

 Hi,

I am on phase 2 (at top end) & the build quality in my block and surrounding blocks seems very good.

Outside render also seems quite good although noise insulation, especially from floors above,  is terrible but this is probably the same throughout Spain.

Gardens & pools are well maintained.
