We have for the last 4 years insured our house through intasure. Like most insurance premiums it has increased during this period but to such an extent that now it is almost as much as the insurance on our house in England and with an excess of £250 on our Spanish home as opposed to £50 through Directline on our home insurance. I spoke to Directline about insuring our Spanish home but they don't opperate in Spain. Can anyone give advice? The proposed premium with intasure with a £250 excess is £239.53.

Hi Bernard

Many thanks for this. Much appreciated. It is good to know that we can send friends and family out now knowing they can swim safely in the pool.

I assume Piensa have an obligation to clean and maintain everything until the license is granted.

Regards

Carole & Martin

Hi everyone

Just heard that the pool in phase one is very green and not been cleaned. This is to be health and safety issue. Since we are not able to come over until September I wondered if anyone is and will keep on badgering the office.

Also wondered whether it may be a good time to think about meeting as a phase to talk about issues we all have.

We are wondering whether there is a Spanish equivalent to CAB. We are not sure but trying to find out from a Spanish friend.

Regards to everyone

Hi

It feels good that we have just spent two weeks in our house (phase one). Everything great - a few days spent cleaning and scrubbing which was alot of dust and mortar left on patio by builders but after few days Piensa kept their promises and did the few jobs we asked them to do. 

As for snagging , we went over 4/5 weeks to completion back in June complete with a snagging book and templates we purchased and downloaded for 23 Euros from Eye On Spain which we found useful and we asked one of the guys we purchased furniture from (who we found most helpful) to come with us . We made formal notes of snags on our template, showed Piensa asking for a signature that they would guarentee the snags to be made good, photocopied at the office. We didn't go back to check but had the furniture guy to check for us everything was done . Most things had been done . The outstanding jobs I listed in an email and forwarded to the office. All snags are now complete. The only issues were beading on the kitchen door, a small chip from the shower door, paint on windows but nothing drastic.  Don't forget to check drains and toilet , bath and shower!
Now we are waiting for the Habitation licence to be issed hopefully in the next two months.

Hope this helps

Carole
