Happy New Year all!
These are a couple of earlier posts, which I submit as a sort of responce!
On Spanish developers, as in UK there are good and bad! Which is Masa? We have a penthouse in Los Alcazares that was built by "Taray" and they were (By and large) very good indeed, so you "Pays yer Money" and takes your chance! And of course Masa are "Cheap!" Relativity in Murcia that is, and one of the reason we bought!
BBVA, masa bank partner are actually compleating mortgages, I have spoken to them, and banks "Usually" make sure all is in order?!!
I am quietly confident that things will be a lot better on SG in the coming year/years!
At least there seems to be an emerging {Dictionary definition:- to appear - to come out - to crop up - become apparent - to issue from a state of depression, suffering or obscurity!} is that us? "Community" of nice people, and belive me that helps!
Good luck to all.

Hello Chris, Sandra/ John B, and all!
As with previous post, we too have two properties (Albatros and Green) on SG and will be making them available for letting, long term-short term, as soon as problems have been sorted out?!!
My wife and I are of the opinion, as are many others, that SG is going to be an extremely pleasant and attractive development, "eventually", both for people wishing to live there permanently, holidaying, or as a medium to long term investment with good opportunities for letting.
We are quietly confident that completion on both properties will be able to take place Jan, Feb (08!)
If of use to anybody. I have met and had a long chat with Roy Howitt of "Inspectahomespain" and found he really did know his stuff re. snagging, spanish property law and the many pitfalls that can befall us along the way when moving to, investing in, Spain etc. I think one of his big attributes is that he has made a few mistakes of his own on moving to live in Espana, and is willing to pass on what they were! Very usefull indeed as experience can be costly! I have also met Jahanka (Not sure of spelling?) of "Sierra Golf Legal and Property Services" in their offices on SG. Again I found her very knowledgeable and pleasant and will probably use her services for managing our properties. I note some of you are using Adriana Perez as your lawyer. Well I can't speak too highly of her and her practice in San Javier. She has been acting for us in Spain for some years in all areas (Buy/sell power of attorney, fiscal representative and very importantly, Tax adviser!) We have found her assistance to have been invaluable. Importantly Adriana speaks very good English, as do her staff , and they are nice people!
Lastly, Spain and France have always been the top two destinations for Brits to either have second homes or to retire to, and I personally see no reason whatsoever for that to change. Indeed, I think the last statistics issued by the HM Government show record numbers of us leaving the UK for overseas, and guess the top destination?
Viva Espana!

Hallo all, what I and another said in my post re snagging the other day 10/10/07, I'm afraid says it all about this appalling company (MASA) My lawyer in Spain says don't hold your breath about even getting the habitation certificates, let alone utilities conections and moving in on phase/section 13, as the government inspectors won' even be doing inspections untill mid November, let alone issuing cirt's! As I said at the end of my piece "Should we ALL be just accepting this awful state of affairs?" Suggestions please! Not one reply/suggestion!!! If we individually complain/moan/post to each other MASA will not alter their totally unacceptable ways. Divide and rule! BUT, if we ALL join together and approach them, possible with a shared lawyer (Class action) as has happened on other urbanizations, including MASA's Camposol, not only will they have to sit up and take notice, {people power}, things I assure you will change! Some of us have suffered a 2 to 3 year delay and the "cost" of the money sitting in MASA's account! I know the value of the properties have gone up, but have you noticed what's happening to the Spanish property market? For anyone intending to sell on, any projected profit is shrinking! Owners in Camposol have won considerable amounts of compensation from MASA in the courts. None of us I'm sure won't all this hassel,Not why we go to Espana! But we are where we are! And that quite simply is that of being treated with contempt,disregard and arrogance by a totally incompetent company. The solution is in OUR hands.
