I received notification from the builder via my agent a few weeks ago that my apartment on phase 1 will be completed between 15-31 July.My agent will notify me a definite date within the next few weeks.
However,i am just back yesterday (23 june)from Torrevieja and have uploaded more photographs.As you can see,the apartments that are ready are part of phase 1 facing Avenida Cortez De La Valencia to my knowledge these are the ones that will be completed for 31 July a total of approx. 64 off.The road in that area is just about to be laid.There is also photos of the pool and surrounding areas.I would think this area has about 2 months work before completion,but remember all building work in Spain always stop for the month of August.
I am not on the builders side but he has had problems and is now working flat out.I can only suggest for everyone to have patience.I was in my own apartment last week which is near completion and was well pleased with the standard of workmanship and can assure eveybody these apartments are worth the wait.Value for the money we paid ,you will not get any where else.The next apartments Arco Meditteraneo 10 which are to be built for spring 2009,just up the road and are starting at 145,500 euros ,which are no different from ours are selling well.
I can only suggest if your apartment is not ready for your contractural date(plus 3 months).Try for some sort of compensation with the builder.My lawyer told me before i signed the contract ,that althogh it is in the contract of two months for default,spanish law states 3 months and that will be what is deemed.Personally i think if anyone is in this position they would be crazy to claim there money back.
