Hi,

Three weeks ago we visited Almerimar to check our Portofino apartment before completion.During our visit we measured the apartment size and found that the living area was about 6% smaller than the plan and that we had only one sink in kitchen instead of two in the plan.
In short we asked our lawyer to approach the developer about it and negotiate a discount. The  result was that we got a price reduction of about 6% on the price and additional interest free loan for 7 years.

I was told by a lawyer that according to the Spanish law says it is also possible to get compensations after completion (this is actually the normal procedure i.e. complete first and then get compensations) so it is worthwhile checking.

Hi Griff,
Had a chat with a property managment guy in Almerimar who seems relible and he estimated that it can be rented about 15 weeks a year so I think that you can plan on 25%
