Hi Tanya, as previously posted we visited earlier in October and agree that very little external progress has been made, pool is dirty and has no water, no gardens to speak of etc. On the plus side we repaired and repainted our interior wall in August and although there has been some rainfall there has been no leak......so far ! It is possible that our spanish resident neighbour has managed to get the repair work done, we will see. Would love to be out there in November but due to lack of any more holiday time this year i don't think we'll be back out until early next year. On your previous post you said you had sent an e-mail to my private messages, I have no idea why but I have not received it, I have tried to send one to yours perhaps you could let me know if you receive it. Thanks. Bye for now !
Steve & Jan.

Hi Tanya, we will obviously be very interested to see how you fare with the developer and your insurers. As I said we are out there this week so we'll talk to our neighbour and see if she can find anything out. We agree with you, its almost certainly down to construction faults but nothing seems to be happening. We have never had any direct contact with the "Management Company" or the developers, does anybody have a contact name or e-mail address ? We can only agree with the rental agents views, we have been out 4 times this year and very little, if any, progress has been made. We withheld our community fees as a protest but we then received notices indicating fines would be imposed so we have now paid up to date.

Hi Steve & Jan here,
we are out to our apartment for a long weekend 11 - 15 October 2007, anyone out there at the same time / fancy meeting up ? Our spanish neighbour, who is resident, has had a quote from a local builder to repair our leaky drains. We'll find more details out while we are over and let you know how we get on.

Hi Ron & Catherine,
We read your posting with great interest, we had no idea about the parking space situation, interesting...but not at another 12,000 Euros !! We were also under the impression that a dedicated parking space was part of the original deal ! Anyway your idea about the english translation of community meetings would be a great help. We are hoping to be back out to the apartment in October as well for a long weekend, probably around 11th - 15th October, if this coincides with your visit maybe we could get together for a drink ? Look forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting at some point.

Hi neighbours,
Steve & Jan here, we have never posted before as we have only just discovered this message board. We bought an apartment off-plan when the sales hut appeared on the road up to Forest Hills (we were visiting family who live in one of the existing villas in Forest Hills). The problem we have with our apartment is the damp patch on the ceiling caused by a leaking drain on the terrace above us, this is apparently a "feature" of many of the apartments. The problem was highlighted by the relatively wet winter, we have repaired and repainted the ceiling but we are sure it will reoccur as soon as any significant rain falls. Having spoken to our immediate spanish neighbour, who is resident and who speaks very good english and has a similiar damp patch, it is common throughout the block but apparently there is some sort of legal action ongoing to try and get repairs carried out, obviously if anyone has any more info we would be delighted to hear it.
We have just returned to England today (23/07/07) following a short a break at the apartment, the good news is the weather was hot and sunny in forest hills, the bad news is there seems to have been no further progress on the pool. Its still full of dust and dirt and the area around it has still not been finished. As posted elsewhere the tennis club has a new wall and several newly surfaced clay courts but little else seems to have changed since our last visit a few weeks ago. Any further news updates gratefully received. Jans brother Dave (co-owner) is out there in a few weeks time, we'll post any further news if there is any.
