we had our boiler serviced by Roca in may, gas man came to door when our friends were in the apartment to say boiler needed a 5 year check and certificate despite recent service the cost would be around 40 euros and would be taken off our next gas bill ! We had no prior notification unless its in our post box at Roda!

Just come back from to wonderful weeks in Roda. I have had my apartment on phase 2 for 5 years and have seen a lot of changes ,some good some not so good. The best thing to happen is definitely the arm bands! I'm on phase 2 and we have had this system for a couple of years . The new security man who checks the arm bands on phase two is excellent , polite , firm and patrolled the pool area regularly. He had a list with him which I would imagine is a list of apartments which have not been issued with bands because of debt, He asked very nicely anyone who was not wearing a band ,why? And asked them to leave the pool area if they could not produce oneThats what we pay him to do!! To often I have heard the expression Heavy Handed ! The people who don't have bands have not paid fees or rented an apartment from someone who has not paid fees, which in the latter case I can sympathise with them but their gripe is with the owner from whom they have rented not the man who patrols the pool doing the job we have asked him to do. So after years of sharing our pool with Day trippers and cheats I say a big HORRAAAh ! To the armbands
PS Gregorio tells me the money from debtors is now pouring in, What's not to like?

Hi Pommers
To say we had a problem with this. Would be the understatement of the year! We bought our3 bed penthouse 5 years ago and the day we completed we noticed a damp patch on the wall.we have an outside staircase and thought water was coming in there.. To cut a very long story short the problem got worse an during one rainy day water poured into the apartment walls were soaking tiles fell off the bathroom ceiling it was a disaster. After many attempts to repair including a complete new staircase .we were exasperated.they eventually took down the living room ceiling and flooded the solarium to see where water was getting in. This last attempt seems to have sorted the problem and not had any problem now for 2 years.my avice is to contact housing and report the problem straight away so that they are aware and any problems with building should be covered by insurance.we were lucky that roda were still on site at the time and we got good service re the problem but obviously things have changed. We have a huge solarium and after every attempt to repair and there were many we had to wait on the rain to see if it had worked so it took 2 years to sort the problem.... Our damp patch was on the top of the wall to start with but we have seen apartments where there is small damp patches by the patio doors and I think this is different to our problem but I would still report it regardless.
