We would not be prepared to sign until such time the licence is in place.  This could take years!

In fact, we are of the mind to call it a day, we have it in wriiting that a bank guarantee is there so we feel little point in pursuing the purchase any furhter, as promises are often not met, the reality is even the builders have no idea when this can all be sorted out.  Our money has been tied up far too long with loss of interest.  We agreed to purchase this property even before building work began - over 3 years ago, and never once were we informed that the licences were not in place - they all knew this informtion! Our completion date was given as September 2006 and it was not until early 2007 were we made aware of the reason for the delay, and this was by chance - not by the builder or our agent.

To our knowledge there is about 15 or so that have exchanged contracts.  I am aware that others have been offered this as we have also, but none are taking the builders up on their offer.

We are still awaiting a copy of the bank guarantee and have been informed this should be with us in the next couple of weeks (although they do move the goal posts when their given time limit expires!).

We do feel we are in for a very long wait whichever option is chosen - either to sit it out and wait for the licence to be granted; complete with the possibility of the licence being revoked; or withdraw now and request full refund.  It does seem as though we are in a no win situation.  The only other alternative is to withdraw and pay a penalty fee (25%). 

Is anyone due to go out to Spain in the next few months, we are inclined to visit, although see it has a pointless exercise.  Individualy trying to sort this out doesn't help.  We appear to be difficult and demanding whilst (we are told) everyone else is happy and completing!

Hi

We are waiting to complete on the Jardines de Palomares, and have been informed by Jose that they do intend to repaint the whole complex once they had completed the repair brick-work around the complex. 

We find it very hard to believe that if they intend to repaint, they will wait until they have all been purchased - I am sure if this was the case, then it will be the owners of the apartments who will bear the cost of this.

We certainly won't be completing on our apartment (as much as we very much want to) until such time all the repair work around the complex is finished and the repainting has been completed.  When all this is done, all we will need then is the habitation licence!

We have a feeling we will be in for a long wait.

We are led to believe they are this month, May.  At least that Jose, the builder said when we were over in March.

Time will tell!

PS - we have requested to be sent a copy of the bank guarantee, whilst we are told there won't be a problem sending a copy, they seem to be taking an awfully long time to do so.  We will be interested to know if  anyone else had a copy, or are awaiting a copy?

Thanks,

Baggie Boy
