We are doing our  homework for a move next year, comin for another reccy in October, I do like the  look of this complex  but wonder  if it's a small site,  well built,  thin walls, thick walls, good quality  buildings?

Security, noisy ,quiet  area?

Anyone have  any ideas or indeed  live / have  lived there?

any thoughts  would  be appreciated and, hi!

We are Michael  & Collette!

There's a rental at this complex on Tripadvisor and from the comments, it sounds very nice. Visitors have mentioned it being quiet with good security and local facilities with the only downside being the walk to the local beach.

As you are looking to move to Spain can I suggest that you have a look at Jim's Guides on this site?   Also have a look at the Citizens Advice Bureau Spain site for general queries and the N332 site for anything to do with driving in Spain.   The latter is run in collaboration with officers of the Guardia Civil for English speaking people and has an English version of the Spanish equivalent of the Highway Code.

Just be aware that many things may change after the 31st October this year.

Thanks  golandrina, 

I definitely  will be checking  out everything  you  have  mentioned and actually  paused everything as Brexit  is going  to be a nuisance  so added  an extra  year to our  pencilled  in timescales and even then we will have  to watch and wait!!

But fingers  are  crossed for an agreeable  future  for  all of us!!

Thanks  again!!

Hello there

We have an apartment on the Font Rotja complex which we bought three years ago as a holiday home 

Really well built as turisticos though mostly residential now. Very well maintained pool and gardens and really close to shops and restaurants. Beach is about 15 minute walk. 

Feel free to message me if you want  more info

Thank you  guys,  very much appreciated!

Looks  good  on some  photos and estate  agent blurb but   real experience of the site from people  like  your  good  selves can be the best information  one  could find!

Am over  in early  October to have a look around,  maybe  veiw  an apartment or two  but got to wait till brexit has made  us third country status or a deal  is done and what  that  entails for  the  future,  for us, and everyone of us!

Thanks  again 👍🌝

We came  we saw we put  an offer  in!

Lawyers, surveyors, NIE numbers all in process  now,  if all goes through we wont  actually  move  till about  next  June, July,  but all in the  pipeline now 👍

I never  did find out, can you tell me what  are  the  yearly  site fees, maintenance etc, saw various  amounts on various  apts  for sale, but thought  that strange  or different  costs  depending on where  the  apt  is?

Thanks

 Usually community fees for an apartment depend on it’s percentage of the size of the building in which it is located,  and the IBI (similar to U.K. rates) set by the town concerned.
