Hi All
I returned last week from signing for 19b but have left Terry out there doing all the bits & pieces! We were very happy with the apartment and only a few snags which we gave to Antonio.
Just a few tips.
Grills - We are on the ground floor and have gone for grills we have a guy called Gary doing them and when they are finished will give a report. If you are having them you need to mindful that the front patio need to double back on themselves. A little tip on the back is to have them nearer the front of the patio so you have some locked storage space.
Security man - there is a guy called Ramon who is employed by BMS to take care of the site. Some people are also paying him 15euro a month on top for security. We have heard varying reports and you need to make your own minds up on this until we have the community meeting and agree security issues. I had a very scary expereince with him. I stayed in the apartment on my own the first night and was in bed when I heard lots of sound and after scrabbling round in the dark for clothes ran out the room shouting(never had any weapons!) and found him in our apartment. he said the kitchen shutters and window were unlocked (99% sure not true) and he was there because he thought there were bandits in the apartment. Very frightening. The point of the story is to be very careful about your kitchen window and now you know why we are getting grills!
Pool - We were told it will not be finished until June, hopefully no later.
Other residnets - Met lots of lovely and helpful people all willing to pass opn any lessons so looking forward to meeting with the restof you.
