 Hello,

Just wondered about anyone's experience with damp problems and if they were being rectified?

We are due to exchange in 4 weeks on a property in Naranjos 4 but having seen a couple of messages on this forum I have noticed a few people have had problems with damp. Because of this I have requested a survey on our property but have been told this is not normal practice to do out there and it is covered by a 10yr guarantee anyway.

We are intending to keep our property for 5-10 years and as it has already been built a couple of years too this is obviously a concern.

We spoke to somebody in Naranjos 5 last week and they said the only damp problems came from the drains in the roof terrace, which was ok as long as it was kept clear, and also from the outside stairs.

I suppose I am just wondering if they are isolated incidentsor if this is a big problem.

Don't want to have our apartment crumble around us in years to come due to damp or be unsellable due to it either.

Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply.

We're doing it. We absolutely love CDA, the openness of it, the apartments etc. So what the hell. Let's have many years of happy holidays with our young family.

See you all soon.

This week we are due to exchange contracts and buy our little piece of Spanish heaven on CDA. We are well aware we have had a total bargain due to the situation there but at the time of reserving our property the clubhouse was going ahead in Sept etc. Now that looks highly unlikely and we're a bit nervous. Not so much about what it can offer now or in the next 5 yrs or so, but in the longer term. With no clubhouse we are thinking Olagolf might pull out when their time is up and will anyone else take it on? We're worried I guess that CDa will just end up falling into disrepair etc and we're all left with properties that are totally unsaleable. If you could get out now, bearing among what a bargain we're getting what would you do?

Hi All,

Wonder if you can all give me some advice on the best way of getting SKY TV out there?

We've been told to buy an additional box through SKY here and not mention it's for abroad but we are then wondering where the dish comes into things??

I'm female, so keep it basic please ;-)

Thanks
