He's off again.

There is one in every bar. The predicters....pitty how many of them have really never made it...you know predicted a positive outcome and done well by it. And how many of us would run our lives by the oracles of those in bars. We can all run the told you so line.

It seems clear that F resents CE and what he thinks it stands for. Not proper Spain, not the Spain of the first wavers several decades ago.....well may be not. He seems to pre supose that every one on CE bought on the promises of the developers and to make a fat profit. The former is probably true.....the latter....well it does not apply to every one.

What grates is the anti newbie sentiment (you know CE is a little England (or even a smaller Wales)....yet is'nt Fs latest venture and the one before an English language news paper....surely that relies upon there being an English speaking community...double standards?

I hope CE does imporve, have hotels etc. It will provide jobs and contribute to the ecomony locally....ah but it might mean that the CE owners property values rise.....but we could'nt have some one doing well out of CE could we F....not unless it was at someone elses expense.

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
 

As one of the group who has not completed:

1. I asked a million times for my bank guarantee - never seen it - palmed off with promises time after time by my lawyer and MF. Not sure what more we could have done. Was told and have an email confirming we have a bank guarantee but it is clearly lies as we have never seen it.
2. Was asked to look at the property a few months before administration but more than 9 months after expected completion. It was suggested it would not be long before we could complete, but there was no electricity - hence no legal habitation licence. No electricity appeared until after administration and only as a result of crisis talks with the council.
3. The product was not as promised. Still isn't and as far as I can see never will be - and I am not talking about the bigger picture - hotels shops etc - simply the bloques themselves are a substantially inferior quality when compared with earlier sections of CE. I am well aware that the few owners who have completed are working like mad to improve the community areas but concrete paths and substandard materials are not easy to replace without major injections of cash.
4. Have tried for over a year now to exchange it for one elsewhere on CE - in spite of being shown and agreeing on two separate alternative properties we have had no response from anyone. They sold the first one even after verbally agreeing to exchange.
5. Our decision is nothing to do with investment - I still still like Costa Esuri and I still want my place in the sun, I still have faith - I would just like our lawyer to stick up for us and sort it out.

Finally I don't know how to join this group mentioned in the article above but I damn well want to - I am with them all the way- we have been treated shabbily - we have been taken for mugs - how do I join?

If I had my money back I would be buying a resale. I will never ever consider an off plan property again. My OH has had enough - prepared to walk away but actually I think that is what they are hoping for.

Hi
I tried to make this point when he lost his position at the Oracle. That newspaper and whatever he gained from it survived on the advertisers paying week on week to promote their business to the British.
If you have nothing good to say Fortaleza, then perhaps it would be better to say nothing!
We didn't buy on Esuri, we nearly did because it offered much more house for our money. We bought in Ayamonte. Which also has its problems! pool not working, suing the builder for a poor job etc.etc.
We did however sell Royal Bank of Scotland shares to buy it, at £10 each which are now worth nothing and bought Euros at 69p.
O.K. we couldn't sell the place if we wanted to but the money would be gone anyway.
At least we can come and moan about our massive losses on property and investment funds here in the U.K. over a bottle of cava in the sunshine with friends in the square in the lovely town of Ayamonte.
So long as golf stays popular and those courses keep going at Esuri I feel confident it will recover.
Win some, loose some, thats life!

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
 

Now you really are a confused.It sounds to me if your not sure whether the chip is on the left or right shoulder.

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
 

You mean the one I resigned from????

Why don't you go back through past editions of said paper and a) show me where it said Fortaleza was the editor, and b) where there was negative coverage of your ghetto.

I think that whatever people think of me on here - and I hope it's all bad :p - people know that I did quite the opposite with our coverage of Fadesa and Esuri, publishing stuff that other people didn't at the time have access to. Thus fulfilling the role of providing a service to those incapable of following Spanish media coverage.

So whilst you think you are making a valid point you are on extrememly shakey ground particularly as I have the evidence right here on this very PC I'm using now.

Also, who made you the decider of who should say what on a public open forum. Isn't that for the site owners, and their team of moderators? The title of this thread is Costa Esuri-Ayamonte. It is open for comments from all sides of the debate, not just one side. And that's what grates you all most of all - that I and others don't join in your happy, back slapping fest. And why should I be forced to support British 'businesses' especially given the cowboy nature of more than a couple of them. With some of these British businesses closing down now, who was fooling who? I still have my two businesses intact - neither of which have anything exclusively to do with expats (why in God's name would you want to restrict your market so much????)

But I suppose living in such an expat goldfish bowl it's easy to get caught up in your own world. If you only knew some of the ideas being thrown around by the council for the future of the Esuri site it would make your skin crawl. I doubt they will happen as these are, and one idea in particular, pretty off the wall. But being discussed nevertheless.
