Sunset Beach Contracts

[Mark68]

Its reaching the deadline for the Sunset Beach Contracts to be signed.
Has anyone actually signed their contract and sent it back with the money yet??
I`m very concerned about how vague the wording seems to be and also the lack of any written planning permission for this site.
Has anyone had the contract checked by a solicitor??
The lack of any kind of bank security is also of great concern as the contract states if planning permission is not granted we will get our money back plus 1%, but this will be paid by the developer and is NOT secured in any way, so what would stop the developer dissappearing with our hard earned cash?
Be very interested in hearing peoples thoughts on this site, especially from anyone who has either signed or decided not to sign....

Anyone proceeding with Sunset Beach? have you signed & returned contracts with the 20%? what stage is everyone currently at? SAffron are pushing for the 20%...

Hi, we booked our appartment in Les Palmiers de Casablanca some time ago having originally reserved at Les Palmiers de Casablanca. When the contract came through i went through the sizing of the appartments and noticed that the text and all the information we had been given up to that point had stated 90 sqm for the Penthouse Appartment we were hoping to buy. I raised this an an urgent concern to Saffron and was given no satisfactory reply or told it would be fixed so we pulled out. We have just received our deposit of 2,000 back but it has taken over 5 weeks to get here. Which is why we were reticent about posting anything before now. Other thing that seriously disappointed us was that we were told we would get an 8% discount on the price because we had originally booked at Les Palmiers de Casablanca and after we had reserved were were told that the Penthouse Appartments for some strange reason didn't apply and we would not get the discount.. we stayed at this point because we were still keen because 90 sqm is a good size. Anyway.. hope this helps...

Sorry forgot to mention in the previous post.. the text etc of the contract and all documents had stated 90 sqm but the sizing on the layout measurered up in total to only 65 sqm which is a big shortfall.

** VAT is included, my mistake **

Another line "This apartment is liable to its share of the community charges at the percentage level that will be determined on obtaining the bill of sale & final literature" - So im assuming at the moment we have no idea what this is...

A few other things raise concerns, anyone else in similar situation...?

Hello Mark68,

I have just received a contract and have the same concerns as you. Did you actually sign in the end?

Hello

I have just received a contract for Sunset Beach with a plan that does not add up, did you ever get this sorted or did you walk?
