Re: Parador Properties!!!!!
I can assure you that Parador Properties are not going out of business and the reason for any lay-offs is down to the numbers of inspection visits. The good weather in April and May saw less people attending exhibitions in the UK and Eire, this then has had a knock on effect with less inspection visits.
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.

Re: Parador Properties!!!!!
I tell you what though. If I happened to chance upon a message board and read that my employers were getting a bit of a mild slagging off, I'd think "Yeah, whatever".
I wouldn't start getting all defensive and be moved to write a heartfelt response.
Unless of course... I'D BEEN BRAINWASHED!!!!

Re: Parador Properties!!!!!
Ooo... That sounds like someones gotten all defensive 
. So why did Parador sack 14 aftersales office staff in one day, cut department sizes, lay off a majority of the sales staff...If... it is just a slight dip in tours happening? Surley if there is just a dip in the tours, you only need less sales staff?... why would you need to get rid off the financial/customer aftersales staff. After Christmas there is always a dip in tours in all property companies...
When a company starts cutting its aftersales staff when their amount of aftersales customers hasn't actually gone down....then that seems to be more of a sign that there are some inner financial problems with a company other than just a "dip" in the amount of tours... Although I don't work for such a company but it appears someone does.
All those poor duped Parador "owners" club clients who have paid nearly 1000euros have had their staff and services cut.... I really feel sorry for them... They deserve more.

Re: Parador Properties!!!!!
Paid for, after sales service....:curse::curse:
Any firm that charges for that, I wouldn`t give the time of day in the first place.
Its like saying " buy my stuff, but if its crap don`t worry cos I only charge you a grand to sort it out"

Exactly. Most RE agents I know offer unlimited aftersales service for free.

Re: Parador Properties!!!!!
Parador are in deep doodoo because they are having to refund alot of clients that bought on Almanzora Country Club. It's got serious now and alot of people want their money back rahter than risk buying illegal properties. Bearing in mind we aren't talking initial deposits here, most people will have paid 50%, that's alot of money
