Dear All

I e mailed our solictor re the current situation. She has been in touch with Juan Carlos and he has confirmed what we already know in that they are all still trying to establish what is owed to who etc.

She tells me that Juan Carlos is obtaining information at this point and is wanting to send all the owners a report, he however needs addresses etc to be able to do this. His contact details are I am advised as follows

Tel 9660790400

e Mail  "administracion@comunidaddevecinos.com"

I propose to e mail him with our details so we can be kept in the loop.

Hope I am not cutting across anyone by doing this but I thought the information may be useful.

Dear All

 

This news has come as a surprise, I have not been on the forum for sometime so have been blissfully unaware of the chaos that idearco have caused by their failure.

Having read through the various articles it is obvious that Carol in particualr has been working for all our benfits, so thank you Carol in the first instance.

I would support Carol's view that we need to get the water and electricity sorted out as quickly as possible and once we have a clear idea of what needs to be done will ensure we provide our portion of cash to support the community and get this problem resolved.

I look forward to reading the outcome of the meeting on the forum.

Dear Sheila

We looked at both mortgages in Spain and the UK. We eventually opted for Scottish Widows Overseas service as they were cheaper on the interest rate and set up rates. At the time they saved us some 80 euros a month on repayment and about 750 euros in set up fees,

The transaction with them was seemless as they were happy to deal direct with our Spanish solicitors

Add to this that you are dealing with a UK based bank and they work UK hours it did make the whole transaction very straight forward. if you want some contact details I can supply or else just look them up on the web and give them call as they will quote you over the phone

Regards

Nick W

Diego speaks very good English and has been helping me with my Spanish. Just on the air con front there are air con units being installed on the terraces on the roof. I asked Diego about these but he was not sure about costs for connecting. I will try again when we go back out in a few weeks. There is an aircon shop in Almoradi where they speak English and a brief visit there left me with the impression that they are very helpful. On the ground floor of the shopping centre behind Carrefour in Torrevieja there is a DIY store and I noted they had mobile plug in aircon units for sale at about 350 euros. Not sure which way to go yet so if anyone gets any news I would be interested to hear.

We have just flown back this morning after a weeks glorious weather. As far as the building work is concerned we are told the phases (Escaleras) are being completed as follows

1  Complete

2  Complete

3 & 4 Completed July 2007 although we noted that the properties in 3 were actually being cleaned and appeared to be completed already as of yesterday (31st May) 

5 & 6 Completed October 07

There are still 13 units to sell and the north side (5 & 6) is very much a building site at the moment. The available units are spread about the complex with some ready to move into now.

The man on the ground there is called Diego and he advises that the above schedule is pessimistic and they should be ahead of this by a couple of weeks. At present the rendereing is still to be done on 5 & 6 and this is creating a lot of dust around the pool area. That being said they are progressing the pool and it could well be operational come the end of this month.

Re the occupancy licence out solicitor would not us complete until this was available and I can only assume that this is issued on each phase. We have all amenities in our apartment and they are at the builders cost I am advised until the whole complex is completed.

The car park is completed for 1,2 &3 however you cannot get access yet as the main road which runs down the east side is not completed and is still fenced off.

Diego has been a really helpful and has sorted us out with extra lighting(external) and extractor fans for the bathroom (they are not included in the price) 25 euros each from a local merchants.

Possibly a little bias however the fit and finish of our apartment is excellent and the whole complex is going to be very nice indeed.

I am also advised that all bar one of the apartments sold thus far have been to UK residents, 1 spanish family only so far. Diego seems to think quite a few from Leeds (not far from us)  

We have some more uptodate pictures which I am unable to attach, if you provide me with an E Mail address I shall be happy to forwrd.

 

Nick & Deb
