Hello Everyone.


We hope to complete on a Property in the Calahonda Area quite soon if everything goes to plan.

We initially intend to Rent out the Property Either Short Term or Preferably Long Term.


I know that there are many Property Management Companies in the Costa Del Sol Area.


The Problem will be how to choose a good ones and Weed out the Bad ones


We would like any recommendations from members who have used Property Management Companies in the Calahonda Area.

By sharing with us your Personal Experience, both Good and Bad, of these Companies we can decide which companies we can  Probably Trust and those we Should  Avoid.


We would be Grateful for any help in this matter.


Thanking you

Kevellen

Thank You All Very Much for your help in this matter.

I would much rather make a decision based upon other peoples' personal experience than just browse the internet sites.


Thanks Again.

Morning.


I know that there are probably many Car Hire Companies operating around Malaga airport.

I am sure that various EOS members have had personal experience of Car hire from these companies.

We would appreciate it if any EOS members could Recommend the Ones to Use and  more Importantly the Ones to Avoid please?



Thank You

Morning and thanks for the reply.

As mentioned we paid our deposit in mid April as we were told that completion would be in May.    

 Everything was in order, all searches completed and all licences granted etc,etc.

All that is required is water and electrics to be connected and furniture to be installed { after signing for completion}.

We were very impressed with the service from the estate agent and mortgage arrangement team.

We are very impressed with the service from our solicitor who has power of attorney to sign on our behalf.

It was like a dream come true location,location,location!.  School accross the road, new hospital around the corner, airport 15 minutes away and to be living the life on the Costa Del Sol not far from the sea and mountains.

We were all set to move to Spain in August during the summer holidays. Our son is just seven so we were hoping to send him to the school accross the road from the apartment.

Change of circumstances means we cannot move until next summer now but we still should have completed by now so we can have holidays for ourselves and family members. Maybe rent out the apartment until we move to live there.

We are really thinking of cancelling due to the developers lack of interest or competence.

Morning.

We paid our deposit for a 2 bed, 1 bathroom apartment at Arenal Golf  phase 2 block 8 in mid April 2007. The apartment  was a distressed resale property.

We arranged our mortgage and NIE numbers everything was progressing quickly. We were under the impression that we would complete by the middle of  May and were rushing everything through here in the UK. The developers and the person who bought the apartment Off Plan but couldn't complete were looking for a 4 - 5 week completion.

I was taking out a large mortgage but could manage that to live our dream. We would sell our UK property in six months or so and pay off the mortgage in Spain.

The mortgage was ready, we paid a deposit for our furniture pack and as far as we know everything was in order.

We are still waiting to complete and our solicitor cannot even get a completion date from the developers despite meetings and appointments. It  seems as if they don't really want to sell the property to us.

I have had to cancel my August holidays and now my October holidays. My next available holidays are in July 2008. What is the point of paying out over £140,000 for something you cannot use?

Time to give up I think.  We will lose our 6,000 euros deposit and our deposit for the furniture pack. Total @  £6500.00p

In the UK I have bought houses and from the vendor accepting our offer to us receiving the keys it has taken as little as four weeks. Now that is an efficient process.

Any comments please before I give up my dream {for a couple of years anyway}.
