Queenie, I see you took pics of apartment 17C2, did u see if they had started work furnishing apartment 17B2 yet?
Really looking forward to seeing the complex carnt wait to go out!
I wondered does anyone know how easy it is to set up a bank account out there?
And also has anyone purchased the SRE furniture package? If so do you know when the final installment of £2000 needs to be paid by as I havnt yet been able to get a response from the agent?
I am in the process of sending off the maintance payment of £1500 this week along with £1000 installment for the furniture.

Hi James - SRE thought that I as taking their package and they wanted all the money for the furnishings at least 15 days before the handover to order. To be honest I cant see how they could order and install within 15 days. I saw one that was furnished by SRE last night and lets just say it was a half job. Their package doesnt come with mattresses or bedding either so you would need to arrange that as well.
When I was out here for handover last month I snagged the apartment before handing over the maintenance and the water / electric meter fees. Once I had paid all these they gave me the keys which I could then pass onto Mostafa so he could start installing the furniture. To be honest I would send them the furniture fees and then pay maintenance and water / elec once you have seen the completed apartment. Dont forget you are paying maintenance for things like cleaning of your pool ( yours is still green and not landscapped in anyway and you cannot sit out there yet ) lighting of communal areas which there isnt any in that zone yet - there is none of the roof terraces on that zone either yet ) . So I would just hang on to it until you get out here. There is another couple staying in their apartment in the same zone but no way is it completed. Things that have been fitted they think are temp and are hoping to be replaced??
I will also Skype SRE for you and I will ask them to urgently answer your questions or send you an email with clarification.
