Re: Parador Properties!!!!!
the employees in Parador work extremely hard and are very dedicated to the clients. The problem they have is the management, their hands are basically tied. It suffers terribly from bad management. So much so that they have just had to lay off nearly half their office staff because they are financially struggling. So if you have purchased a property through Parador. Be warned. they are now understaffed and overworked. You will not be receiving your 700€ - 950€ worth of Parador Aftersales service. Good luck... but remember, if you are not speaking to a manager, then the person you are speaking to is only acting as a go between you and them. Demand to speak to a manager, go into the office and refuse to leave until you have seen one....and in Parador, the more you complain and threaten to make things public the more likely they are to listen to you....

Re: Parador Properties!!!!!
Was this trip with Parador ?
Never seen them with BMW's. I think all the big companies are struggling and was told by a solicitor that some of the big bosses were bailing out. |

Re: Parador Properties!!!!!
I would rather not go into details as to why I know these things as peoples jobs could be at risk. But I know their aftersales staff work hard and I know they are making many redundencies...they just made a huge amount of redundencies last week, and yes, one employee is suing them for unfair dismissal.
The post completions service, where clients are taken to get their padron, Social Security etc, that has all been stopped as since December 2006, unless the client has something in writing.. and now clients will pay 950€ but receive a less concise service than clients that paid the previous 700€ Owners Club fee. Parador Properties, is only one of many major companies in the Spain that are struggling financially due to a down turn in the current property market. It is not a serious thing to say, it's the truth and most people know this. Unfortunately, Parador might have been able to do more, if they had correct management, which in turn would have meant that there would have been less redundencies leading to the clients getting a better service as the company would have been properly staffed. A majority of the current Owners Club clients deserve better service and after all they have paid through the nose for it. It is just a shame that most of them don't get it. :(:(:( |

Re: Parador Properties!!!!!
Sometimes it is useful to hear it from the horses mouth! They don't have a very good reputation on other forums either.

Re: Parador Properties!!!!!
Even though I am an agent involved in selling properties in Spain and have heard and read many 'negative' comments about Parador , I have also talked to buyers who have had a good deal
So to Vox Populia I say: Go on their trip If it works for you and you are happy with the after purchase package they offer [which is very expensive......ours is 390 € and more personal & comprehensive] the buy via them If it does not work then use someone else Big firms can never be as efficient and personal as a medium sized professional one!... Good luck Vox Popilia and I hope you find the Spanish home 'right for you' |

With top heavy numbers and low visits, it's obvious that people would be laid off, this is not going into financial difficulties but just good business sense. Maybe you should find out the facts before bad mouthing an extremely good company. |
