Is a 5 year wait a record or the norm?

Does anyone know a better (cheaper and safe) way of transfering money from the U.K. to Spain rather than using a high Street clearing bank such as Barclays or Lloyds?

Thanks

Hi SRS

We use HIFX. Their website is www.hifx.co.uk. They give you a far better rate than the banks, and there are no charges for sending or receiving the transfer. Its easy to set up an account with them. You can do one off transfers, or a regular monthly transfer at a set exchange rate. Regarding completion, for anyone in a hurry, we need to hope  that the developer / your solicitor /the notary / the banks representives / the electricity and water company staff to connect you, and even if all those miracles occur in the next few weeks, you get given an apartment with bare wires hanging out of the walls, as they dont fit lights. I'm not holding my breath for my holiday in August. Another wasted trip.

I have just received an email from my solicitor which I am sure will be of interest to everyone! The MD of the developers has told him that the the first occupation license will be in place this coming week and they will request completion of purchase then.

Hi All

Hi,

Today we recived a mail from our Lawyer, stating that we can expect signature writing and hand over of property in October, and you need to remember that we are in phase 2, hence my guess is that all phase 1 apartments mut be in place before October.

I hope that this is a positive sign for all of you that have been waiting for your apartments.

I keep my fingers crossed and hope that you will get a success this time :o)

Hi,                                                                             My Lawyer informed me this afternoon by telephone, that the first occupancy licence will be inplace on Wednesday 1st August.                                 I have not posted before, and would like to thank Lorraine & Eoin, Janmet, Max and all "Neigbours" for all the updates on "Don Juan Forum"                     On my travels I drop in to a Cyber Cafe, to read the latest, although my Lawyer keeps me updated by mobile phone or E-mail.

I spoke to my Solicitor today and she thinks that the earliest realistic date for anyone to complete in phase 1 is around mid September this is taking into account the August shutdown and getting the water and electric connected. This is assuming that there are no other unforeseen problems.

Hi, Have just received following communication from my lawyer in Spain (14.22  1st August)

That s great news sounds like it will be sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dose anyone know when the ikea is opening in Fuengirola?

This time we drove all the way from the A7 to DJ itself, but were stopped by the guard. The exit at the other side is closed with a barrier so we had to turn. Not a big problem as there are other roads nearby which lead to the beach.

 We took some pictures which really show the great progress they made. Markings, road signs, lamp posts are there and the large hole at the entrance is filled and got some tarmac as well. These lights are clearly provisional and part of a separate network. You can see that on the last photo: in between the existing lamp posts on that isolated stretch of finished road you can see some of the new ones.

Hi Max,

Have you got any photos of how and where the road leads into Don Juan? Does it actually join into the front of Phase 2 Block 1? From what i remember there is quite a drop down from this road, therefore if it is here there must be quite a steep road up or have they somehow managed to reduce this incline?
