I would think that is probably your ONLY option. Have a look at your contract.
Most new developments in Spain prohibit the placing of a satellite dish on individual balconies etc, and even if it was allowed, only the apartments facing south would be able to pick up anything at all.
However the size of dish required would make for plenty of shade.

Hi Everyone

We returned last Thursday after spending a week at the Atlantico. We were absolutely thrilled with what we saw on Esuri, including our apartment. We are buying Rago 2, Bloque 10, Portal 1 (one with the wrap around terrace). We also looked at most of the furniture shops and have had the quote through today from Frontera. It's definitely good quality furniture/beds and the sort of thing I was looking for - light oak. We are also awaiting from Frontera, a quote for the air-conditioning, shower cubicle and the shower door over the bath. They will also fit the lights for 10 euro per light. We are going out again on 28 Oct - 2 December to choose the lights from the large lighting shop in Lepe. We took a look but, unfortunately, the shop was closed when we went there this time. We have also visited Mateos in Ayamonte, who have given us the prices for the white goods. When we're ready, we will send them an email to order the goods and arrange a bank transfer.

Regards

Marilyn

Great to see your pictures, seems like we might be neighbours, we have also bought on Manzana 7, E4. We are going out on 29th November to have a look and possibly do some snagging. Quite exciting. I have been given the name of a professional snagger should anyone want such a thing, he is english working over there.

Hi when we were out viewing our apartment a couple of weeks ago Paula pointed out the metal attachments on the walls that are for satellite dishes so no need to have them on your balcony. Other furniture package providers:- www.egginnest.com and www.absolutecarecompany.com.

Hi Chrispee,

I received the offer of golf membership, but after talking to Finagolf decided not to go for it. Unless you are planning to live out there for at least 6 months of the year I didn't think the membership fee and annual subscription made economic sense. Neither did I think their offer of only a 10% discount for members guests very attractive. There are plenty of top notch courses in the region so I'll be revisiting some of those as well as paying a green fee at Esuri. Just my view and I guess there will be others with different opinions.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andys,

I think your financial analysis is spot on and depending how long in the year you intend to be in residence the more you might want to join. For now the greenfees available as special offers in the eastern and "Spanish" Agave's mean that for short stays membership is not financially attractive. Just how long this will pertain remains to be seen.

On a different note those who are to sign up soon and are going over to snag and such have you had any information on the Community formation and fees?

Regards,

John.

Hi John

It was good to meet up with you in September!

Regarding Community formation and fees. We have had no information given to us but, the following is based on our own experience having had an apartment in Mojácar for 5 years. In the first instance, a local Management/Administration Company has to be approached, who will then call a meeting of all the owners to elect Community Officials, to prepare and approve the Constitution of the Community and also to prepare and approve the annual budget for the maintenance of the community as a whole. We have an English chap as our President and a Spanish lady as Vice-President, which works well.

The Community charge works out for us personally at approx. £35 per month. this is based on the overall floor area of the apartment, and charged on a quarterly basis from our Spanish Bank Account. This is just to give you some idea but, bear in mind a community charge on a golf course will always be more expensive, (our apartment complex is much smaller-35 apartments).

Regards
Gabrielle

Hi Gabrielle.B,

Yes it was good to meet hope to see you again in January. The reason I asked about the Community formation was that it was taken out of our hands by Fadesa in the Private contract and thats why I was worried. In David Searles book (which is very good on this sort of thing) it gives a little anecdote the upshot of which is that the developer gives himself an advantage concerning the commercial sites which results in the rest of the community paying more than their share. This can of course be altered at a subsequent annual meeting but in the Spanish way of things it can take years.

Then of course there are two levels of community the lower one which concerns common facilities such as stairwells and pools will, I think be specific to plots such as Rago 1,2 3 and the higher one which will include the Ayuntameinto will "adopt" the major road infrastructure and other wider communal facilities.

As ever Fadesa is totally silent on this and it concerns all owners since it will set the level of cost for the initial few years before we are organised enough to do something about it.

Regards,

John.

Hi all, been a long time since we posted but have been watching, reading the thread and picked up some very useful information... thanks to you all ...

We (my wife and I) are looking to go out to meet our solicitor etc very late November / early in December **note** he has advised us to steer clear of the week of the 5th Dec because of the two public holidays (6th and 8th) he mentioned everything (shop/business wise) comes to a stand still that week.

But the main reason for our post is a query on flights etc... as everyone seems to have been going out of late and others have plans too, where's the best flights / deals at present? (we are in the south of England so will be travelling out of Gatwick / Heathrow / Stanstead)... and how about hotels? any suggestions?

Anyway, keep the information flowing and if anyone can help please let us know...

Hi

We're also going over beginning of December and have got a fab deal with the Atlantico from their website - www.riu.com - well worth checking out! We're flying from Coventry (which is a bit far for you, I know) but again, silly prices over winter.

Must go - not meant to be reading the thread at the moment ... should be working!

Has anyone bought a plot of land on the Costa Esuri, And would you be likely to be building a house a.s.a.p . Any ideas what type of house you are thinking about. More luxury places built ,the better for the development
