Hi all,

just got back after an amazingly great 11 days in Almerimar. Checked my place even though the key holder had said that she had done it already. Found something coming through on an inside wall, but actually don't think it's anything to do with dampness and certainly no mould at all!

It's more like some chemical coming out either of the paint or from the plaster. It is similar to what I had before on a different wall and which has been ok since it was repainted 2 years ago, as per my earlier post.

Hope everything is ok for all of you.

Just heard back from my key holder, the apartment is fine, no sign of any damp.

Phew, thank goodness.

Hi Olivia,

in 2010 (Easter, I think) we went out after our place had been shut up all winter and could see what might have been the beginnings of mould or something damp-related on an internal wall. Went to the Proindal office to "bring it to their attention" and they sent someone round to paint it with something, not sure what it was as the guy's English was as bad as my Spanish but it seemed to do the trick as we haven't see any evidence of it since then.

But thanks for letting us know. I'll get on to my property manager and ask her to check ours out.

A bit vague yet, but, does anyone have a one-bedroom apartment available for a week around the end of August, say from 22nd-ish onwards. Preference would be block 6 or 7.

Hi there,

I heard recently that one of the apartments in block 7 was having a problem. Don't know how bad, or anything. It's going to be a worry until we next go out and see our place in May. Are you asking because you have a problem or, like me, have you just heard something?
