Completion of phase II

Hi Max and Irene,

Thanks for both of yours post, it's nice to be updated.

Hi Irene, If we are there, we will, Thanks.

Today our Lawyer and the developer has agreed to sign papers in th first half of february. So we expct to be "moving in" in the second half of February. 

Hi There,

When wichmann posted his declaration that his lawyers had contacted him with a view to completion I took it with a large pinch of salt and muttered to myself 'here we go again!'.

But I was delighted to hear from my own lawyers a couple of days ago that they too were looking to set up a date at the Notaries as soon as possible.

You wait for ages and suddenly everything comes along at once!

Good luck to you all - future owners on Phase II.

Hi jamesellisllb,

I'm glad to see that you also have recieved the same news, our Lawyer is signing tomorrow then 5th, the we are official owners of an apartment in Don Juan phase II .

Hi all,

For your information, we have now completed, and are now the owners of an apartment in Phase II. The signing procedure was delayed one day, however yesterday we succeded.

Congratulations Wichman! When is the house warming party? This is very good news for everyone at Don Juan this means that the developer is serious about getting the site completed, hopefully DJ 3 will be also completing within the next 12months. I belive that if we can get all 3 phases completed we have a better chance of getting the road at the bottom sorted. fingers crossed!

Regards Andy

Hi Andy,

Thanks, and I have been told that it's a bit cold there at the moment, so If you will come by to warm our apartment you are wellcome, when we are there from the 18yh to the 25th of February

Congratulations Wichmann on your new status as an owner in Don Juan II.  We look forward to meeting you as a new neighbour and we wish you all the best for the move in.

Yes, it was a bit cool last week in Fuengirola and also quite rainy but hey, there are always compensations, aren't there.....?

Hi congratulations wickmann just got back from don juan weather was ok and the work men where painting  in the garages of phase 2 bye irene

As the habitation license has been granted for phase 2 and owners moved in, does anyone know when the eyesore of a pool at the front will be completed?

Also I noticed at the weekend a piece of rope tied from the perimeter fence to the entrance gate, is this going to be a fence to separate the garden  of phase 1 from the new pool?

Any ideas?

Hi srs if that is going to be a fence going up on the gardens between phase 1 and 2 i think it would look so bad and not what anyone would like bye irene

I agree Irene it will look a mess

Wasn't there an issue at some point that the green area at the front of block 5 belongs to phase one and the pool to phase two so maybe (and i am only guessing) that they are separating both areas. Also the sprinklers were on but only on the "phase 1" side of the rope. The rope by the way ran alongside the block 5 side of the path that leads to the pool.

The occupant of the garden apt in block 5 next to the pool has put a gate in his fence and there were children playing in the green area. I thought that it was not allowed to put a gate in the fences.  Personally I don't care about the gate as it is not my business and good luck to him but maybe this has encouraged a segragation fence. 

Having said all that this may not be a fence at all we will have to wait and see.  They could do with getting the pool sorted though!

srs

It will not be possible to get a licence for the Phase 2 pool (as is also the case with the pool between blocks 6 & 7 of phase 1) because someone has put a gate from their private garden which leads to the pool area. Ironically the unauthorised gate in block 5 would not effect the licence if a proper fence was contructed between the 2 phases' property.

srs you are right that the area behing block 5 belongs to the phase 1 community. The rope you describe is not an accurate devision between the 2 communities. Phase 1 own half the gate and the dividing line then runs virtually beside the pool to the fence nearest the sea. Eventually I am sure everyone wants to see the area shared by phases 1 & 2. Regretably we may have to wait for that to become a reality.

The Phase 1 community had to pay to get their pools commissioned. I expect the same will happen with phase 2 - although phase 1 have already filed a complaint with the health department about the situation at the phase 2 pool.

Thanks for that.

Is it not possible to insist that the occupant who has put in his gate remove it?  I am pleased that the health issue has been reported.  I have just had a long term renter refuse the apt only because of the pool.  I have seen a dead rat in it in the past which must now have decomposed and the mosquito situation is going to be horrendous as it was last year.

Also, are we intending to stop new owners from phase 2 using our pools until theirs is sorted?  Of course not, that would be ridiculous and petty in the extreme!  So we need to start as we mean to go on and "share and share alike".

If this is a fence to be put up then the developer by past experience will put it were they like and once it is up it will be difficult to remove.  As I said above the solution may be to nip this in the bud and insist that the occupant removes his gate as soon as possible.

We have asked GICS to inform the owners of the 2 offending gates that they have to be removed. I don't know if they have acted on the instruction but I will add chasing them up on this issue to my list.

You raise an interesting point about Phase 2 and access to our pools. We have issues with the developer who controls phase 2 but not with our new neighbours and I personally think we should let them use our pools. However this has not been discussed by the committee yet so I can't give a definite answer at this stage.

There is some repair work required to the phase 1 pool between blocks 6 & 7. It is also doubtful if we will have a licence for it in time for the summer but as the main pool would be very crouded if it was the only one available we hope to have it open even if it on an "at your own risk" basis as was the case last summer. It is possible that the phase 2 community could do the same.

Hi David

You mention that the license has not been granted. We went to the Town hall in January to find out for ourselves if the Habitation License had definetely been granted on Phase 2. They also informed us that the pool license had also been granted in January 09.
