Hi Saznaz
Congratulations on your completion. Bet you can't wait to get out there again. Still waiting for a date for ours.
Thanks for the advice about snagging etc. When you say you did yours over a week, can I just ask if that was before you completed or after? I know you get the chance to do some snagging before completion but wasn't sure how long.
Cheers

Hi Lynne & Terry
We are also due to complete at end of December. Have just learned that our property was released by the builder on 3rd December. We are also buying through Atlas. Suggest you check your Client Centre website, you might have similar news.
Like you we weren't sure how long we needed to be across there for completion. We were also hoping to make it in Feb rather than January. Keep in touch and let us know if you find out any more info about the completion stage. We'll do likewise.
It's getting exciting now!
Cheers
Eddie & Maureen

My apologies if this question has been asked before (did a search and couldn't find anything)
How easy/expensive is it to have a broadband internet connection set up in Spain? I intend to keep in touch with folks in UK by email and was wondering how good the connections were. I have heard that broadband is very expensive. Is this the case and if so what kind of money are we talking about?
Thanks in advance.

Further to my original post, here is a response to The Leader sent by the Dream Hills urbanisation President:-
On behalf of the owners in Dream Hills, I attach a copy of a letter, I have sent today to the Leader.
----
Dear Editor,
I was shocked and stunned when I read your recent article concerning Dream Hills.
It was not only sensationalist but also wildly inaccurate.
First of all my advice to all residents, including the pool attendants, has been not to call the police for minor matters but to certainly call them for more serious issues – common sense really. Although there have certainly been outrages on the pools this summer, the question also needs to be asked whether the pool attendants are sufficiently capable to handle unruly youths and anti-social behaviour.
I do not wish to discuss the urbanisation’s private finances in a public forum but the figure you quoted was the annual maintenance and cleaning contract on two pools, not just to clean one as your article intimated.
The irrigation system hoses were damaged by the builder’s workmen, not youths, while weeding the planted areas - which belong to the local council, not Dream Hills.
The town hall has never said that it would fund any spending on a green area or any other area. The handover of Dream Hills has nothing whatsoever to do with the Dream Hills II urbanisation, which is totally separate from our urbanisation. The town hall and builders will not decide on the garden site requested until the original Dream Hills is handed over.
Owners voted against the placement of a ball game area in Dream Hills in 2006 and the majority would certainly vote against its inclusion again. I have plenty of correspondence from concerned owners who do not want a “play” area for youths on or near the urbanisation, which would attract anti-social elements from elsewhere.
Other than purchasing some plants and pots, residents here have never had to “pay out of their own pockets” to improve their own surroundings. While I am president, Dream Hills will continue to have a well run urbanisation with one of the lowest urbanisation fees on the Costa, as long as the majority want it.
Why some individuals would call you in and deliberately choose to give you such incorrect and misleading information about Dream Hills and me is something I cannot understand and I will deal with this matter locally. I suspect private agendas – some political but none with the true interest of our urbanisation at heart.
What is also equally annoying about this whole issue is that you never bothered to contact me to clarify or check out any of the allegations. All it needed was a phone call.
Yours sincerely,
Stefan Pokroppa
President, Dream Hills Urbanisation.

Some rather unsettling "news" in one of the free Costa papers concerning Dream Hills. Paste the link below into your web browser and scroll down to the "Scream Hills" heading.

I know this is Dream Hills 1 not 2, but it gives food for thought. We musn't let this kind of thing happen to our urbanisation.
Any thoughts?
