If anything, it's easier installing lights without the power on.  We've just have the A/C for the bedrooms installed without power.....although the installers did come back ythe next day with their own portable generator to carry out the commissioning.

As far as I was concerned, it was also safer putting up pictures and mirrors without electricity,  I knew I wasn't going to go zzzapp!!

Any miscalculations will become apparent soon enough!!

Builder's water is just like ordinary Spanish water, (to misquote Crocodile Dundee, "you can drink it, but it tastes like...")  but it's free!  At least you can use the loo!!!!!

We completed on 6th December (Jara 215, Phase 4). Still no power, no gas, no lifts!!

The call centre have obviously been watching the TV ads too much - "Maybe Tomorrow......!!

I went over twice in February, luckily, the all deliverymen were very sympathetic and did not complain about having to lug all our stuff up to the 2nd floor. However, as we bought primarily for rental, we are most disappointed that we have now missed the Easter and May bank holidays market!!

We got our mortgage in November with Barclays in Torrevieja through Tim French at Fuel investments Espana. Not sure of current loan availablility but we got a very good rate, 80% LTV and a VERY good valuation. Email him on tim.french@fuel-spain.com
