 Here's what worked for me (transferring from Bancaja to Bankia):

Firstly you have to get a new digital signature. This will be 6 to 8 digits only, and if you don't already have it you'll need to speak to your local branch directly who should guide you through the process.

If you call up  b a n k i a . e s / e n / h o m e  you'll access the web page which is mainly, if not all, in English. In my case I had to log in with the number of the passport I had when I opened the account. My NIE number didn't work. (Previously it had been the last 12 digits of the A/c. No. itself).

The password was the same 4 digit number I'd previously been using with Bancaja.

HTH.

Hi Stephie,

 

Assuming you are travelling to Valencia: From the airport, take the Valencia Metro to Xativa station which is about ten stops on Lines 3 or 5. Valencia Nord main line station is outside, just up the steps. There is a direct line to Oropesa, the nearest station to Marina d'Or, from here. However, trains that stop at Oropesa are not very frequent, so you need to check timetables in advance.  The journey takes about 70 minutes on a commuter train (Cercanias), which is very cheap.  From Oropesa, a standard taxi to Marina d’Or (3 km) should cost around €10. 

There is a more frequent train service from Valencia to Castellón, so another option would be to pick up a taxi from Castellón to the resort.  It’s a half-hour drive which should come to about €30, and will take you direct to M.D.  Alternatively you can take a bus as the bus terminal is directly adjacent to the train station at Castellón. Make sure the driver understands where you want to get off, or you could end up in Barcelona. Nearly happened to me!

Timetables, ticket ordering and full details of Spanish rail transportation are available from the website:-

 Google for "renfe" or PM me as this won't let me post a Web address!

Should be no problem if you're using it in conjunction with a cable / satellite / DTT receiver or DVD / VHS player via its SCART connector.  If you're looking to pick up terrestrial Spanish transmissions make sure it complies with the European standard (PAL B/G), or you won't be able to receive the sound.

Hi Fizzler and Everyone,

I too am a purchaser at Corvera and have signed up for two apartments on Phase 2, primarily as an investment as I'm nearing retirement. I've not previously posted to this group, but have been lurking here for some time. I've been reluctant to do so because of the very reason Fizzler gives in the fifth paragraph - that of confidentiality, and the fact that forums can be infiltrated. While I think that an open forum is a good thing to have, - it's difficult to imagine, for instance, that Calidona are not aware of what's going on, and our general predicament - there are certain matters I may prefer to discuss within a closed user group. I wasn't aware that one existed until now, but I shall PM Lisa Mona as suggested.

It seems from what I've read that I'm in the same situation as many of the participants on this forum. I over-committed myself at the wrong time, and have been caught out. It's been compounded by two previous purchases in other developments which have both gone badly wrong, for different reasons. I'm not able to sell either of these at present, the net result being I won't be offered, nor can afford, any further mortgage. I'm left with a few stark choices all of which will result in heavy financial losses - the question is, what is the least worst option? The problem is there are too many variables and unknowns, so what might seem the best course of action today may not turn out to be so in the long run.

I'm still hoping to complete on at least one of the properties at Corvera as I believe like most of you that it will be a good investment in the long term. To do this I would have to raise capital by selling my only unencumbered asset in the UK, the income from which is supplementing my salary, and this would expose me to further risk as my mortgage is on my own home. Of course, it's the worst time to have to sell anything, but there aren't many options.

The other property will almost certainly have to be sold on before completion, and luckily my contract allows me, in theory, to do that. I'd be interested to hear from others what recommendations they have for marketing their properties, which companies they recommend (or not), and whether they have had any success in selling. And if so, what sort of prices they achieved. Probably these things are better discussed in the closed users' group.

I will be happy to participate in any collective action deemed necessary to solve our common problems, but I think we have to recognise that we may have differences as well. We all have a slightly different perspective on things depending on our personal situations.

With best wishes to all,

Peter.
