I had the same problem, i suggest you contact Lloys bank who will tell you the simple procedure you need to make, an open forum is not the place to discuss how to access bank details

you cannot assume anything will be as advertised, the plans within my contract shows a large green area with trees etc adjacent to our block of appartments, also shown on the model in the sales office, in realiaty the area is a large car parking area, no mention of this change which drastaclly changes the outlook of the area not to mention cars coming and going all hours below our bedroom windows.

your contract should have had a copy of  your floor plans which if like mine were scaled at 1/100 which allows you to measure each room and balcony area, i suggest you do that and then check when on site.

Hi All

regarding the build quality, i visited the site about 12 months ago and took along my binoculas due to not being allowed on site, my proffesion is a building control officer so i am looking at buildings every day of the year, i was not impressed with what i could see, the terracotta infill blocks were laid without much bonding ( straight joints)  also lots of rough and damaged blocks, the appartment we are buying had the barbacue chimmney knocked down by the adjacent overhead crane,  from what i looked at  a multitude of rough workmanship is covered by the spanish type render, in defence i think that most builds are done in this manner.

I would not worry about minor snagging defect but would ask and check out the foul drainage systems and where they dispose, i have stayed at many resorts in spain and many have issues regarding foul drainage and smells.

also check storm drainage, i know it dosent rain in spain like the uk, but when it does ensure you are not going to be flooded out by apartments above by the lack of outlets etc.

I recently stayed at roda and was not impressed with some of the build quality, wasted space which could easily have been utilised, staining of the walls by the timber pegodas, large cracks to the walls adjacent to the main steps to the front entrance doors, uneven slabs around the pool areas, even the main block areas leading to the clubhous are showing signs of settlement, base not compacted properly when laid.

I do not know if the spanish have the eqivilent as the uk in regards to building control, are statutary inspections made and logged, are the drains checked and tested when laid ?, is the habitation licence the same as our completion certificate.

in the uk the following certificates are required for a new build, before building control can issue a completion certificate.

part p electric certificate,commisioning certificate for boiler, sound test certificate, co2 air leakage report, der and ter emission rate  to show comliance with part L heat loss, are any of these required in spain,  we are both part of the eu and the targets set.

there is so much more to a building other than snagging and minor defects

Hi All

there are two small clues in the name of the development, both of which have not been completed, so i do not know how anyone can compare corvera with polaris with regard to what was advertised

I am sure roy is very profficient in what he does with regard to snagging and his building knowledge, i also understand why his posts are very positive, after all he has a buisness to run.

I am sure that if he had paid approx 264,000 euros for what should be a five star resort, and what is actually been delivered to date he would not be quite so positive.

please leave any comments it to the lawyers to try and sort out what is going to be a long legal process, who really knows the outcome of any legal process, the truth is no one, not untill all the facts are laid out.

From my own personal point of veiw i am very dissapointed in the way i have been treated by calidinia and the length of time i have been waiting, the unrealistic dates given since signing up in 2005.

I also think that Calidona realised they could save considerable cost in materials learning from Roda.

I really believe that calidona as a company will be seveally damaged due to clients seeking to claw back their deposits or refusing to complete and loosing their deposits if that is what it takes.

I managed to keep positive for three years but the current climate and lack of facilities have pulled me down, the dream has died for me, i want all the advertised amenities to enjoy now while i still can, not in another 5 to 10 years.

I do wish anybody competing the very best and i truly hope everything promised is eventually completed and you all enjoy the development, sadly it will not come quickly enough for me.
