UPDATE 2nd FEBRUARY 2017

APARTMENT WATER TANK

The tank has now been tested, cleaned and disinfected.  We are back to normal.

FOLLOWING THE FLOODS

Has your property been checked since the heavy rains in December and January?  Some Owners have problems with water entering through their solariums especially in the.Penthouses and Townhouses.

FIBRE OPTIC

We have accepted an offer to install the fibre optic option into the complex.  We don't have an installation date as yet but I will let you know as soon as we are advised.

It is part of the Government sponsored scheme so there is no charge for this.  Speeds should be in the region of 15 to 30 mb.  Charges for fibre optic packages seem to start from about 30€ per month which gives internet, TV and currently a mobile phone with data allowance included.

CAR ENTRANCE GATE

The car entrance gate has now been repaired.  There was a delay in doing this because a new motor had to be ordered.  I am advised that it is an updated model which will hopefully use less electricity.

APARTMENT LIFTS

Shortly, instructions on using the alarm call button will be fixed in each lift.  The new communication module should make it easier if the alarm button needs to be used as the address of the complex registers automatically with the call centre.  Straight away they know where you are.

PAVED AREAS IN THE GARDEN AND CAR PARK

The pathways and car park have been power washed this week and are looking all the better for it.



I have asked the gardeners to redesign the bank at the end of the apartment block, overlooking the long water channel.  It is looking very tired and colourless.  An Owner who lives nearby brought this to our attention and asked for improvements to be made which the Committee has agreed.  It is good to have ideas from Owners so don't hesitate to let us know if you think improvements can be made.

MAINTENANCE AND PAINTING

The Sub-Committee continues to work on the quotes for painting the apartment block.  We have received one quote and are waiting for others.  It is such a large project and we are looking very carefully into the quotes to ensure that we understand correctly what is proposed.  We are expecting that the quotes will vary widely and we have to study them as the cheapest is not always the best nor is the most expensive.  Guiding us in these processes are our architect, Juan Pacheco and Benito our Administrator.
