We completed on our apartment on friday last week having snagged on thursday and collected NIE numbers last wednesday.Overall the experience was all positive.Polaris had the NIE process well organised and we had the whole trip and collection completed within two hours.The snagging items were minimal and Polaris were confident those items would be completed well within the thirty days.Polaris are also talking confidently about getting the utilities on stream within 30 days.We will await with keen anticipation.We were accompanied at the snagging and the signing by Parador Owners Club and feel that the cost involved was more than justified by their guidance and input.Thanks particularly to Gary and Kellie.We also had a very postive experience setting up bank accounts with CAM in Sucina.
The Resort itself looks excellent with a real feeling of space and good views across to the mountains.Polaris state that a call centre is being established at the resort next week and that should help communication.They also plan to have the shuttle bus connecting HR shortly.
BUT...work has not yet begun on the town centre and who knows when there will be much in the way of facilitiesThis may not be crucial for holidays but may well be a major problem for rental.We heard various stories of problems with planning,difficulty in getting a contractor to do the work given the historical nature of the building and changes to the layout.We raised the issue as part of the signing with the PW representative and were immediately contacted by PW customer services.They talked about builders being moved back onto the town centre now that the apartments were coming on stream but were vague as to when that would start .Given the lack of facilities on El Vallee this is no great surprise.
