Did you get any results from Rushcliffes regarding sky installation? We'd be interested to hear.

Thank you for the feedback .

Since my posting, and the Easter break in Spain, our lawyer confirned our contract with the electric co. and on telephoning them were told we definitely had a supply. Then the people doing a job for us confirmed that we did have electricity in our apartment, but that there were "issues with the electricity inside the urbanization which they were going to inform the sales office of."

Anyhow, we shall be staying in our apartment next week and hopefully we shall have an electricity supply ?  

We shall also be chasing up Rushcliffes with regard to our 'snag list', and various other issues !

We'll let you know how we got on.

 

Susan.

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone could enlighten me?

We completed on our apartment in Dec.2007, and our lawyer contracted our electricity supply with Endesa Distribucion Electrica SL. . We are having some work done, but we have been told there is no electricity in our apartment. Does anyone know how this works?

I'd be interested to hear.

Hi Lisa,

It was nice to hear from you. It's good to know other people from Las Palmeras!

(Our computer was slow in updating the site which is why I couldn't find your message to begin with.) 

We were please to hear about the satellite tv - that was on our list of things we had to arrange - and it means that I can still enjoy my C.Street, and Jason can watch his football!

 

We'll be in touch,

Susan

Hello Lisa, Ian,  Carol & Rob,

Just to introduce ourselves :-   Susan and Jason.

We completed on our apartment in Block 12 in December, and collected our keys the following week. This was the first time that we had actually visited our apartment. We were there last Easter, but not allowed on site by the contractors. Anyhow, we compiled our 'snag list' and visited again last week to find workmen there, but not much had been achieved! We also had another problem :  since completing, our lawyer contracted the water supply for us, and on arrival last week, we found that we had a leak from the pipework connecting the tap on the terrace, and so the inside walls of the bedroom were damp with peeling paintwork - something else to get sorted! 

We feel a liittle disappointed that the development is progressing so slowly, and that we completed on our apartment, when Las Palmeras is still quite a building site. Despite apparently being such a long way from completion in respect of building work, landscaping and community facilities, we are still being charged community fees.

Just one more grievance for now - we took advantage of Rushcliffes '24 Month Mortgage Interest Payment' agreement, and our lawyer told us on completion that we could expect our first payment at the beginning of Jan. but we still have not received it.! - Has anyone else had any problems as such? 

Apart from these niggles though, once the site is completed we sure that we will be very happy with ou apartment there!

For your information, we are just north of Sheffield.

Any feedback would be very welcome - we're not quite sure how this system works yet, so here goes!!
