Hi All,

We had a quote off intasure for £190. This was for £95k buidings and £15k contents. They suggested the buildings figure based off floor area.

Our bedroom 2 had a shutter and also the kitchen and door to utility. Only the front shutters were electric.

Didnt notice any scratches on the glass. We were taken a bit unawares with our snagging as the habitation licence came through the day we arrived so we thought we would sort it there and then to cave time. We didnt have a torch or anything so I may make a return visit once power is on.

There were guys on site doing a bit of snagging as there was evidence a painter was in our apartment(tools left etc). The gardening was also incomplete but they were were well on with this and there were containers full of shrubs and turf etc outside.

There didnt seem a lot happening on phase2 but it was quite well on. I would have thought it would be next summer before they finish this.

Regards

Gary

Hi Ian,

We were over there just after you. We stopped in an apartment down the road in Estrella.

We have posted some photos and sent some direct to keith.

We agree things look great. We did our snagging whilst there although the gardening wasnt complete. I couldnt find much. Just the odd broken tile and a bit of painting etc.

We asked Paloma in the sales office about the privacy on the terrace. She said that she thought they would put trellis up so we have put this on the snag sheet. Perhaps you could mention this to them as well.

It does look now that completion is realistic at the end of November hopefully.

After staying at the Estrella complex down the road, we were very pleased to realise that CGG is looking top quality in terms of the planning and general space and views we will have. We also have a great pool area that seems superior in size to a lot of others you see. Not to mention the size and quality of the apartments and terraces.

The other apartments on CG country club behind us are slightly more expensive and the Royal Golf ones up the road are I think quite a lot more. Cant understand this.

Had a look round the Finca Cortesin golf course whilst there. Huge course that looks great. I can see this being a good attraction.

Let us know if you have any comments when you snag if you wouldnt mind

Regards

Gary

Hi Ian/Wim,

Thank you for putting the photos on Ian. I agree that things look great. We havnt been over since March.

 when we last went we asked what was going between the terraces and they said there would be some plants of some kind to form a barrier, I cant be sure exactly what was said.

It is disappointing that they have not kept us up to press with progress. We had a letter and email early june telling us they were waiting for the licence etc and were expecting it in early july. Yet you say the sales girls were telling you August/September then.

We had a bit of a whinge at them recently and they are now telling us to expect completion late September and to expect to do a snagging visit shortly. We arnt holding our breath though. We have told them we are coming out as a family late October, we have booked our flights and they have agreed to pay for our accommodation if it is not ready, so perhaps they are more confident this time.

I presume the first photo you posted is of the golf clubhouse. It looks a fair size. Did you say they have extended it?

It sounds like you go over quite regular Ian. I am sure we will bump into you once we get chance to get out there. It is getting very frustrating especially with all of this crap weather we have had!

Regards

Gary & Christine

Hi

We have just come back from visiting the site and uploaded some of our pics. 

1. The swimming pool
2. The path above the pool and block 7
3. Rear of block 7
4. Clubhouse and Golf course
5. View from the side of the swimming pool looking down the site
6. View from block 7 over swimming pool

You may have gathered our apartment is in block 7 - 7a.   We last went out in May and therefore there was huge improvement in things - the apartment was fully tiled all the windows in  - and shutters on.  All wardrobes have been fitted and internal doors on.  The terrace was also tiled.  Kitchens due to be fitted in next couple of weeks.  Bathrooms almost complete just needed Wash basins and shower screens.

Plenty of people were busy working on the site and Paloma in the sales office was pretty certain that phase 1 would be completed at the end of June and Phase 2 end of September.  They are apparently applying for the Licence (to sell etc) in April so if that goes through there shouldn't be any hold ups - unless they go on strike again - of course!

We are feeling more positive about things now  although we won't be booking any flights just yet!

Christine and Gary Clarkson
