Thanks rhodesie, yes I saw the pics, yes my place does look big and I may have to put down the artificial stuff, will have to look into it. I did speak to Euromarina about the solicitor issue but was assured that many buyers do not bother with them as they (Euromarina) have a massive and respected name in the industry and could not afford a scandel. If you think about it the buyers that have used solicitors have done your work for you, you have not heard of anyone pulling out or any legal probs on thier place so why would there be on your place as its on the same plan of land etc. As my friend said to me if your nieghbours house is ok legally then chances are so is yours. I could well do without the expense anyway what with the euro rate etc.

Bill I came back on the 4th March as I only took a short break to make sure the snagging was completed. They paid the hotel so I thought it rude not to go. I'll try and post some pics.

I did not use an independent solicitor as two of my friends had purchased prior to me and had no problems what so ever without a solicitor. I was worried if I would get the work done now they had my money but they have been very helpfull and done everything I highlighted as far as faults. My friend is still getting things done for free from them which were obviously caused by his own mistakes i.e. moving a table and catching the edge of his door causing a nasty gouge, they repaired it for him. I'm happy with their reputation for build quality, aftersales and legallity to save the 1% on extortiornate solicitor fees.

Just got back (yesterday) from the site. Pleased to say they have done all the snagging on the inside of the house right down to replacement tiles around tap outlets and floor tiles that were scored from the front door lower edge. Everything seems good. The outside still has lumps of monacap plaster from the walls splattered on top of the roof tiling above porch but am assured once the site is finished as far as house build goes, all the units will be cleaned on the outside. The boiler has been installed, I have electricity but no water yet so can not test it. The drive floor tiles are down and the front path tiles are laid, no gates as yet. They have at last admitted a mistake was made on my sale documents stating 25th Jan 2008 as completion date, should have been March so they got my money a couple of months early, no matter, if they clean the outside I will be very satisfied. They booked me into a suite at the La lagona which was very nice so I cant complain. Had some nice food too. Met a guy who was staying in his fortuna I think it was either 50,51 or 52. They ran a pipe from the far end to supply him with water, his name is Joe and he says he is very happy, builders water, builders electricity so no charges yet. My furniture gets collected 10th March and after repacking and loaded to larger truck will arrived in Alacante 29th. I get free storage for up to a month to enable us to move in, we then contact them to deliver. Exchange of contracts on my house in the UK is about to take place any day now so if all goes well the dates will be just right.
