Hello

We completed on our quad in January and at that stage we paid €300 - 400 (can't remember exact amounts) to Taray (when we were at the notary signing) to sign us up to the electric and water companies.   We were over in San Cayetano in April and we were told by the residents who are there that to their knowledge we are still on builders supply.   We certainly haven't received any bills yet or any documentation from the electric and water suppliers with an account number etc.

We are back in San Cayetano at the end of June, so we hope to find out more then.

Kind regards

Hello Tracy

At first Bankinter were only going to offer us 60% mortgage but we managed to get them to change their minds and we now have a 70% offer in place. The decision had to come from their head office in Madrid.  With regards to the fees we will check what we are being charged and will send you a PM with details.   Bankinter was still the cheapest option available.

Good news about the LFO.... (fingers crossed).

Hello

We were hoping to complete on our quad before Christmas but are waiting for the LFO to be granted first.  Bankinter and MASA have advised us to hold off completing until the licence has been granted.  As it will be our holiday home I guess we are in no rush but would hope that the licences are through before the end of the year so we can complete early next year to start furnishing it and using it.   MASA have advised that they should be through this month but I'm sure they said that the licence should have been through in October as well !!!

Does anyone have any news regarding the LFO for Manzana 8, Phase II?

Hello Mick & Liz

 We have a very enjoyable few days away and SC is looking great.  To answer your questions in turn:

1. We didn't book a time slot with Taray to view our property.  MASA told us that if we wanted to see the property then we needed to contact Taray directly and they would arrange for someone to be there.  We called Taray and they just  advised us to go to the Sales office and we would be given access to the property. 

2. We did snagging on the property ourselves, well the bits that we could check given that there is no electricity on at the moment.  Taray just gave us the keys and told us to spend as long as we liked there. We found only a few minor things that we will be contacting MASA about and also about officially snagging the property as we believe they should be helping us with that.

3. We just turned up on the Monday morning, as long as the Sales office is open then gaining access to the property should be no problem. We think the opening times are 10am to 14.30pm and again at later on but not entirely sure of the opening times in the afternoon.

4 & 5.  No we haven't received a completion date as yet but assuming that we won't get that until the LFO has been granted. We spoke to the lady in the Taray sales office and she said that they are hoping that the licences would be granted within the next 8 weeks.  We told her that we were hoping to complete 2nd week in october and she seemed to think this was feasible. Also depends on whether or not we get the mortgage offer from Bankinter.

6.  Phase II looked finished and the only builders that we saw were on Phase I working on the pool area.

7. We haven't got our N.I.E number yet.  MASA said that they would help us sort that out when we are over to complete, so assuming it doesn't take that long to obtain.

8. As mentioned above, we are hoping to complete 2nd week of October... fingers crossed!!!

We hope the above is of some use. Let us know if you need any further info.
