We are doing the same as Chris; over next week to complete on Friday 24 at the  Notary's office across the corridor from our solicitors office.

Our place is in Phase 2a Block 10.

Ros y Falcon will allow a visit to view the property (we are doing this on Wednesday), but they will not allow it to be snagged. As we understand it, on completion the purchaser receives RyF's snagging sheet to use within a period of one month. Their view is that you live in/with the property for a month while you will become aware of any faults! Electricity and  water obviously need to be on to do this but as we are returning to the UK directly this will be difficult. They don't want faults reported in dribs and drabs

We are employing a snagging company who we hope will hold the keys as we are led to believe that RyF will not act as key holders.

We will not be furnishing the place until we have changed the locks as advised eleswhere on this board.

We're intending to get a specialist to do the snagging of our apartment in Block 10.

Following two enquiries to the developer's office (us and the specialist), we have been told that we will not be allowed to snag until we have completed the purchase/signed the deeds. This seems to fly in the face of all advice we have previously received and thus we do not intend to accept the property without seeing its condition or the quality of the workmanship. We fear the developer may make life difficult but hope our solicitors will help. Has anyone else received similar information and if so would you kindly let 'the board' know? Purchasers in a similar position to us may wish to compare notes and liase to guard against the Developer pulling a fast one!

This is obviously not limited to purchasers in Block 10 alone.

Thanks & regard, MisterC

I am in block 10 and have received the same information ie complete by the end of October.

While I have not got copies, my solicitor tells me that they have  faxed copies of the Final Building Cetificate and the First Occupation Licence.
