jimena latest

Hi my current intention is to fill in my own tax return over the weekend, have not had much time but have located and printed  the forms - any info about where to send them etc would be gratefully received and if i am successful will pass on the necessary info required via this forum - there are only 3 pages to the form and certianly not enough info required to justify anyone charging £200 plus

On another note.... I am trying to speak to Elena for a couple of pending issues and she never answers..... does anybody know if she is still there?????

One of my queries is the water contract and the others are related to bits and pieces in my flat.....

Regards.

Hi guys,

Not many people around here anymore... well just in case someone doesn't know there will be a meeting on 22/11/08 at 10.30 which I think is the first meeting with the new Administrators..... I am in London so if someone attends please feed back here....regards.

hello - i am still working on these forms and making progress but think i might be unable to do them myself this year as i most likely need to call in at the town hall personally to pick up some personal ID labels. however there is very little work involved and i will pass on the info for future years, does anyone happen to know the valor catastral or rateeable value of a 3 bed apartment? i am a little reluctant to ask my solicitor at this stage because i dont want him to suspect what i am up to in case i have to admit defeat this year, best wishes to all melanie

All seems very quiet on the message board. Is that good or bad ?

Does anyone know how close we are to getting the water connected or has it been done ?

Also are the gates up and if so how do we get in without a key as we will hopefully be there at the end of March for a week ?

Finally are the lifts working yet ?

Any updates on the above would be most welcome

Hi,

This thread is as quiet as the Arenal complex itself :).

I have been there 3 times since January, have to travel there for work reasons.

No lifts yet.

Water not connected yet, in talks with the mayor to see how things can be solved.

Gates up but not locked yet, I guess they keys will be available at some point.

Post boxes have been taken out and placed outside near the gates so Correos can deliver post.

I have heard roumors about Arenal having sold the remaining flats to the bank but not sure of the details. I wonder if they sold them of if indeed they have been reposessed.

The community is going against owners who don't pay the community charges, Arenal amongst them.

If you have any other questions shout, I can find out.

I have just been looking at the article on the Jimena Pulse website regarding the problems with the water coampany including the following comments

Some 14 families are being obliged to pay a debt amounting to €12,000 within 20 days. The money is owed to the local water company, Arcgisa, by the developer of the urbanization, most of it being for installation of the system, plus past due bills for this year

Does anyone know who these families are. I haven't sorted anything out about the water and have had no indication regarding owing money or getting connected up to the mains supply. Does anyone know what the situation is

These families are all of us, apparently there are only 12 flats sold, and it might be true since every time I go there it is all empty.

There are talks with the mare to sort out the problem, however the water company wants their money and is threatening with cutting the water supply. We are not their clustomers since we do not have any contract with them because things were not sorted when we bought the flats.

Not sure how this will be solved and quite scary since I have had a couple of queries from potential holidaymakers for the summer time, hope it is sorted by then.

By the way, on Wednesday the 8th April there is a meeting of the community so everyone is welcomed to go and participate, there is only a bunch of people there fighting their arses off for us, I have delegated by vote in the current chair/president, that is the least I can do.

Take care.

There seems to be a further update on the Jimena Pulse website that according to the PA party the owners should not be responsible for the installation cost.

It also mentions that the water company has not received one request for water connection and that applications should now be made. It all seems a bit confusing to me at the moment

Hi all, I tried to organise a contract with the water in the middle of last year and they said then that the water pump was not running and that it was Arenals' resposibility.

I intend going up on Monday to see what the situation is.

Hi David,

How are you? Glad to hear you are still around there.... it happened the same to me and have been ringing every 2 months but nothing.... I'll be poping into their offices on Monday 13 since I'll be there for the Easter weekend..... by the way the president, Pilar, has publishing a note to say what was published in one of the papers is not true..  here it is in Spanish (sorry)

By the way,,,,, does anybody know English native teachers in Jimena???? If you do please give them my email at info@obensis.com

Thanks.

Hi all

From my point of view ARCGISA should demand payment of Euro 12,000 from Jimena Council.

Jimena Council should have checked that the sewage was connected to the mains before granting a licence for First habitation.

We heard about the sewage fiasco last summer which is where this water problem emanates.

Then perhaps Arenal would have sorted it out if they wanted the licence for First Habitation.

I see the latest news is that the water will be cut off by 5 th May. We are due there on the 11 th so not sure how we can get this sorted out. Does anyone have any further news
