Hi one and all
Thought I would add my 'two pennies worth'.
We put our deposit down in May 06, on our 2 bed place in Block 3 of Mirada 2. We have been over every 6 months to check on things, and I think Marisa in the Sales office is probably fed with all the questions I have each time I visit the site.
Like most of you, we were expecting to complete on our place at the end of 2007, so went out in March 08 with the view to finalize everything. Well we all know the story....
We were told at the time although our apartment was complete (which it was), the delay in the site completion was due to the infrastructure contractor and not our developer. So we were unable to use it this summer as planned, so we were a bit hacked off about that. Now it's looking more like Sept / Oct.
My concern is that we spoke to the bank manager at CajaSur in Nov 07, he offered us the mortgage that came with the apartment, which we said we would take, and we haven't heard anything since. I would like to know if anyone else is in this same position? As I work for one of the big 4 banks in England, I'm surprised that the offer hasn't expired due to the strength of the euro. Currently I think we are looking at an additional £170 a month, since when we spoke to CajaSur.
Has anyone heard anything about likely community charges?
I am happy to post some photos from our trip in March for folks to see.
Hoping to hear from some others soon
