Unfortunately, you are most unlikely to get a reply on this as the residents are concerned about bad publicity affecting the rental possibilities. Egor was very defensive last time round.

For example although most of the blocks were finished, rumour has it that the complex is not that well maintained as 80% of the apartments remain unsold/vacant and a lot seem to have white crosses marked on the windows - whether these are bank repossessions or not is unclear. Great shame as the location is great but the developer failed to keep its promise on build quality and facilities but I suppose not surprising in view of downturn in economy since 2008.

Would be nice to hear from a resident or two as there appear to be one or two bargains available on the site at 50 per cent below the original prices offered by the developer.back in 2004.

We are looking to rent a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment on this development for 8 nights from Tuesday 22 February 2011 to Tuesday 2 March 2011.

If any owner has an apartment to rent for these dates, please send us a private message with your contact details and I will contact you direct.

 

Many thanks

There has been no news on this forum for some time. Rumour has it that the developer is cancelling contracts. Has anyone received notification of the cancellation of their purchase contract and an attempt by the developer to retain the entire deposit.  If so have any legal proceedings commenced? Has anyone considered starting a class action against the developer to share in the legal costs? Does anyone know how many apartments have actually been sold? I visited the site last week and it looked completely deserted with 2 blocks right at the entrance gate still uncompleted.

Hi

I wonder whether or not you have had any feedback from the management company following your meeting with them. It  would be nice to hear that sales have progressed to final completion in relation to those 100 or so properties that have been contracted to be bought - if not it seems that the developer has real problems with this site.

I visited the site this week for progress but got no staight answers from Carolina - all I do know is that despite being told that our apartment "snags " had been rectified and the property cleaned for occupation - it was not and still required considerable work -nothing too major but my concern is that if the same impression is being given to potential buyers than they have no chance in hell of getting anyone else to complete. I for one will not complete unless I get cast iron assurances that the developer will get matters sorted and fast. i asked about water supplies, electricity and the home automation system and was told they were not quite up and running yet but would be soon-asking for an indication of a time frame I just got blank looks from Carolina and Oscar and an effective shrug of the shoulders. One big concern is the two unfinished blocks as you enter the site which gives a really bad impression to potential buyers and the outlook from the pool in this area is particularly unattractive and would put most people off wishing to rent apartments for their holidays.

Other threads on this site clearly show that there are a lot of disgruntled purchasers and if the developer does not get a grip of the situation very soon the omens are not good.

I for one am very, very disappointed despite the fact it could and should be a fabulous development as we all anticipated - its a great shame.

Hi

We recently posted our first thread on the site under "Frustrated" which arose basically through our sheer frustrtion with the developer. Having finally agreed a price with the developer last November following legal proceedings that we instigated due to their breach of contract, we have been attempting to complete now for over 3 months but the developer is simply ignoring our lawyers repeated requests to fix a date siting in one case their "financial position" not allowing them to do so. You would think they would be keen to complete in view of their need to finalise sales asap, so you wonder what is going on. It would appear we may not be alone in this difficulty as there seem to be another 70 purchasers who have agreed to buy but are still awaiting final completion.

We do not wish to alarm those that have already completed because we like you think the development is superb and would only be too pleased to complete even though there are still risks involved if the developer is not able to complete on those they have sold let alone the 120 apartments that are still for sale. However, we should all be wary of allowing the developer to hand over to the community until such time as we are satisfied about the financial implications of doing so. We are not sure how the logistics work but if only 40 apartments have to foot the cost of maintainance the costs may be horrendous. It may be the developer has a legal obligation to contribute in relation to the unsold units and we will check this with our lawyers.

We are coming over to Spain the week commencing 16 June (fingers crossed) in the hope of completing and will be visiting Carolina on site on the18th. If possible we would like to meet any resident  who may be on site that day to say hello and find out about life on the development. Our apartment is on the ground floor in Block 19.
