Hi Katie

I just saw your post .

We have a house on the pink estate on the left as you enter the village.

there are a lot of empty houses in the village and a lot of these have been broken into ( its happening all over Spain ).

For sure if you buy a house here you will need bars on all the windows and if you have a garage or outhouse you need strong locks on those as well.

Robbers attempted to break into my house but failed however they did manage to break into the garage and steal a lot of stuff so replacing all that + the damage to the doors etc cost a lot of money.

If you buy a house in the village - please ensure that you have a freind or neighbour who can check the house every day and empty the post box to deter any would be theives !

Otherwise the area is lovely - the village is very quiet in the winter and the houses very cold so you will definately need heating.

We are one of the buyers represented by Patricia.

Patricia is acting for 3 different buyer groups.

1 - Those on phase 1 who wish to recover their deposits - either because they thought they could make money by investing in 2 or more houses and selling contracts and now cannot and so are faced with 2 or more mortgages  , or whose house is not in the same style i.e no longer detached, or those whose house is the same style but no room for a garage etc.

2) Phase 2 buyers - nuff said

3) Those on phase 1 who still believe that they can complete on the house even if they have to pay the extras

Patrica is acting diligently for all of these groups and will ensure that before completing on any of the houses that it will be legal.

As  mentioned in a previous post - the houses are worth more even if we have to pay extra for them.

Even if it becomes impossible to complete due to lack of habitation license up Patricia could still  instigate more criminal proceedings to recover the intial investments of those still unable to complete.

The fact that Palmera completions will not act any more to complete for the buyers is a breach of contract  by Palmera and they have to find another solicitor to complete for those buyers who still wish to use them.

We decided last year to engage Patricia to complete for us so we could  be sure when we complete it was totally legal and unbiased .

So it is not necessary or impossible to complete without the Palmera solicitor.

One final thing - some of us seem to be getting paranoid about all this and scaremongering - I hope this is a more balanced view .

Hi all

Just to clarify - the Mollina Hills development was not Mirador - I think it was Aifos + Palmera.

From my visits to Fuente de Piedra the build quality looks OK - just the speed is the issue !
