tina,

with the greatest respect to you, this is an internet message board.  You must realise that we are not all the same  Clearly you and I are different and have diverse opinions on certain matters because our experiences are widely different.  You will on occasions see comments or opinions with which you both concur and strongly disagree, as I do. 

Nonetheless, although we clearly do not see eye to eye, I would not dream of criticising your stance on certain issues.  I respect your right to an opinion and the freedom to express it on here or wherever you so choose.  In turn I would ask you please to respect mine.

Thank you.

I am not 'having a rough time of things', merely expressing some frustrations which, at the time of posting, were really getting to me.

I wish you well.

I am sorry I do not share the rose tinted view of so many of you.  I have lived in Spain for many years and, whilst having fully integrated and learned to speak the language fluently, I am very tired of the empty promises, let downs and in some cases downright lies that many Spanish businesses seem to regard as acceptable business practice.

As I have lived in Spain for many years I am probably one step ahead of many of you.  Yes, it is wonderful to be all lovey-dovey and happy clappy with your neighbours, but do not be surprised if, once the honeymoon is over, many of your neighbours irritate you just as much as they would in England.

You will also learn that there is a very effective grapevine here and your own business will not remain your own for very long.

I do not have 'anything to hide,' I simply choose not to share my personal details.  My postings relate solely to the issues raised and nothing else.  I am trying to bring some reality to the board, not negativity.  It would appear there is a case of some people not wanting to hear the honest truth.

Best wishes

Resident

Quite agree volfen, but it is just so disappointing for us to find that, having carefully researched before we bought, Taray let us down.

It is no huge deal, but people have to make plans.  We have, based on what Taray told us.  This delay is actually causing us serious logistical problems.  Such is life.

If anyone even considers moving in without this absolutely vital piece of documentation they must have more money than sense.

We have known of Taray for some time and had previously considered them to be one of the most reliable companies here.  Sadly, dealing with them has shown them really to be just as useless as every other company here.

Do not believe for one minute that the end of February will be the last of it.  This saga is set to run and run.

With regard to a 24 hour number, you might well be able to call it 24/7, but I have no doubt it will only be answered for about 4 hours a day, if that.

Another reason we have a big downer on Taray is that they have suddenly produced 4 'cancellations' out of nowhere.  It seems highly likely that they in fact led us to believe that these were sold, sat on them for a while and then re-released them on the market as 'cancellations'.  This is a known tactic here in Spain and has been covered by an article elsewhere on this very site. 

I do not believe for one minute that even 1 person, let alone 4 people, was able to take the big hit that such a cancellation would involve.  Cancellations at the deposit stage are fairly common, but after that, quite rare. If anyone has actually cancelled and obtained a full refund please let me know how you did it because I would wish to do the same now if at all possible.
