We have just returned from a recce trip to see whether we should transfer from ACC to OCC. Well I really do not know where to start. The village of Tabernas is very nice and first impressions were that if the location of OCC was near to the village then it wouldn't be so bad. Our agent rang to say he'd meet us at the first cafe on the road through Tabernas (Sorbas); when I say cafe - I mean that in the loosest sense of the word! Anyway, we set off and turned down a dusty road to OCC, where there are the trade-mark palm trees and fountain and apart from two small sales offices THAT'S IT.....
We didn't take any pictures because there was nothing to see. There are NO showhomes, NO roads in place (although it does look like they have started excavating to start one) and NO builders on site, there may have been one jcb but nobody was working at all. Not what you'd expect when Huma have been telling people that the show-homes are there.
The location is definitely not for us, there is no-where to walk to and is too far to walk to Tabernas village. Like I said, there is just nothing around - totally totally in the middle of no where. All there was was a plant which we were told tests solar panels and not a pretty sight.
Well the upshot is we are definitely not transferring to OCC; our agent took us to see Mazarron CC, which is a well established community. We were told we could transfer there and are awaiting a firm price.
For those of you who have transferred to OCC - good luck, I wish you all the best with everything and hope that the lies stop and building commence.
