Please everyone who are contemplating buying on this site     DO NOT DO SO .   We have been thinking of buying from a person called Leanne Cole who owns an estate agent business called Almeria property in Spain in Tabernas. Be aware that the people involved with this company are dishonest crooks.  We were told that everything was going according to plan, building was due to start again next week as August is when all Spanish builders have their holidays, there was no mention of any problems with the build or the site. We were ready to sign and pay our deposit but thought it would be a good move to ask around some of the English people who live in Tabernas what they new of the country club. Local people were all to eager to talk. We were told stories about this family (The Cole’s)  which would make your hair curl, they are con artists and liars of the highest order who have laid claim to being everything from  qualified estate agents, builders and electricians to window cleaners and swimming pool builders. We came across no one who had anything good to say about this family.  We were however pointed in the direction of a couple of other agents who had been selling these properties but had withdrawn them from their books. We were told of so many problems with this site, the builders have gone bankrupt, there is no toilet waste plant, no water pipes laid, no drainage pipes at all and on the plans we were shown there are no provision for any waste plant at all. From what we understand the land surrounding the site is privately owned and is not going to be transformed into beautiful park land as we were told and that the owners of the land have denied permission for water and drain pipes to be laid across their land. For these reasons the other agents selling these properties withdrew. They told us that these properties should not be for sale and only the lowest of the low would continue to sell the property of a company that had not only gone bankrupt but had not even got permission for the basic infrastructure to be put in place. We will not be buying on this site but wish you all good luck with getting your money back (you will need it) apparently no one has succeeded as yet!
