We have some concerns about taking action against Evemarina for compensation on the lack of village facilities.
Assuming the First Occupation Licence will be issued 'soon', Evemarina will be requesting final payment. We are concerned about the following:

1) That the standard of workmanship and finishes ( including full completion of snags) is not up to the standard expected and promised. This includes the internal apartment, communal areas, gardens, pool, garage, store, lifts etc.

2) That there is a guarantee that all defects following handover will be rectified for a reasonable period ie one year! For example the kitchen equipment, air conditioning units, intercom systems etc usually have a manufacturer's warranty of one year from purchase. These have been in place already for almost one year.

3) That the  'Community Committee' will be in disarray due to disgruntled buyers and disinterested developers - see posting on this forum by a purchaser of La Hacienda de Mijas Golf on 12th Sept.

Could taking action against Evemarina for compensation cost us all in the coming few years?  We are sure that the lawyers will say that legally the developers will have to honour their side of the contract and further action could be taken against them, however it is clear that the reality is somewhat different.

We would certainly welcome opinions/ comments on the points raised from other buyers either publicly or via a private message.

We also had our apartment snagged in Dec 07 and were  under the impression that completion would be in Feb 07. We were out there in late Feb and found that there was no labour on site and that very little had been done on any snagging or external work. We also were assured that the habitation licence would be obtained quickly but this appears to be taking much longer than anticipated. We have recently been told that the developer is  still waiting for the habitation licence and that the reason for the lack of completion of snagging/external work was because of a shortage of available labour.  Any further information from fellow buyers would be appreciated.
