| Just going back to this- we have now sold the 3 bed apartment, deal done and signed. In a round about way its as a result of selling the 2 bed ages ago to a Spanish work colleague of my partner and then via word of mouth combined with an advert the buyer saw weeks ago. However I wanted other forum u... |

| Not quite sure what you mean when you say a let down for a few hundred £sss, though I'm probably not on the same wavelength Craig. We still think its more likely to be owners renting to people they know, or their family. Unless these people are golfers I suppose and hit the Camposol golf- just still... |

| Are there any restrictions on doing this- would it have to be put back in if you want to sell the apartment? I have some vague memory of the apartments having to be as sold by PW- but that could relate to something else so I'd welcome any info. |

| Do these throw out enough heat to properly warm the apartment? Although, of course you could put several in the living room. Here in Spain we have a flat panel heater in a small room that has been converted from a utility room into an office and it was insufficient. We have also used panel heaters i... |

| Haven't been on the forums for a little while so haven't seen any info about this anywhere. As we are now moving into rental we had considered this problem and stipulate over 21 yrs and only pairs or couples rather than hen or stag party groups. We do have a 'contact us' for clarification so we can ... |

| Well- no posts here full of advice! Other people in the same boat I think. Anyway- big decision made and we are going to put the apartment onto some holiday company websites and also look at ways of maybe generating a long term renter- who knows we may be lucky again. As of yesterday we know we wont... |

Are the security doing more patrolling inside the resort? I... |

However, that will be for proper shopping- which will be very useful- but wont do for the bread, milk and paper run. Someone with a couple of good bikes n riders could do a door to door service- a bit like pizza d... |

These sections have a President and a deputy to deal ... |

Although there may be some way of identifying total resort costs, Naranjos and Los Isla costs and then Jardines costs so it wont be a difficult situation to manage. But I think this drainage problem ... |
