Sunset apartments, Fez

[Arsim]

Hello everybody,

It is indeed a wise thing to do to ensure a proprety. That's also first thing I did just after buying my apartment.
I do fully agree with Rosiecot and do understand her point, when you do your best to maintain a site, hoping it will remain clean and tidy (till next time), then as soon as you turn your back all trash is again back there, worst of all: people who are supposed to help, look at it as if there's nothing going on!
However, please keep in mind that even an ensured house need people around, to clean and maintain or in worst case call you in case of fire for instance! who else will do that if your absent, plus the fact that in case of any damage you must notice the ensurance company within a certain limits of time.
... it's wise from my point of view, we all contribute but make sure reliable people -read guardians- are in place.

Cheers Ismael

Hi everybody,


Has anyone returned to Fez recently?
Please, let us know what you've witnesed on site of "Sunset apartments" lotissements Kortoba.
I think we should use this platform more often to keep ''abroad owners'' up to date.
Thanks a lot.

Hi All apartment owners,
I am going to Fez on 22nd September for three weeks and hope that you will come and say Hello if you are visiting at the same time.

It will be interesting to see how the building of the Hotel (quite near Afriquia fuel station) is progressing.Radeef were having major work done on the road to Fez which was causing some disruption in April, hopefully that will now be finished.

The stories about another Marjane being built along the same road do appear to be true. One can only hope that the building of a New Hotel is a sign that more will be built near us and so upgrade our area ...maybe even to encourage the Red Taxis to travel out to us..... Here's hoping!

copy of a message I sent to all the mail addresses I had, following a first mail from Seloua (below)
Hello Seloua and the others...

I don't know about the others, but I know I paid 2000 dirham to Sulaiman from January to October 2011, and I'm going back to Fes on the 25th of October. I forward this message to Zakaria who was in contact with other owners and to other mail addresses i have . Zakaria talked about starting a co-owners association... I don't know exactly what's going on at the moment... But yes we must keep trustworthy people in place. Forward this mail if you have other contacts, thank you.

here's the address of the forum for all sunset appartment owners in Fez
http://www.propertycommunity.com/for...4475-sunset-ap

I'll post this message on the forum as well...
take care

Hello everybody, salam,

I'm enjoying my last days in Fes. It has been really hard day's nights for me since I've been in the apartment: trying to 'finish' all things in the flat and around too...
Things are really improving down here, since last time (my visit in may 2011), however we still have a long way to go.... , I will tell more about the emprovement I sensed soon.

For those who recently visited Please share your comments, findings and feelings with us.
Sorry I missed some of you Abdul, Pam(/ella, Rosiecot), and the other fellows; sorry for not having taken more time to get to know and share ideas with those who were present during my stay.
Cheers Ismael

Hello there,

I was in Fez end February 2012, many things has changed and absolutely in a positive way:

Security
- There are actually only 2 gardians instead of 3, one for the day, the other to keep an eye open through the night, this is lean,
- Untill proper solution has been found to fill both the pools and to keep them running through the hot summer days and night of Fez, 2 gardians will be sufficient for the time beeing. To fill the pools or even one pool with drink water is very very expensive, so they think about drilling a well .... to be continued
- The two gardians switch from shift each week, meaning that one will be assuring security on days for a week, the other for the nights, they relay at 5 pm and 7am.
- There's a new gardian RACHID (Rashid), he's really a nice and definetly trustworthy hard working guy, we do have references about him. The other guy is nobody else than our good guy Azzedine, they make a good team,
- Rachid will be sleeping in the gardian studio first door first building next to the gardian niche, that means that he'd be present a great deal of days and night.

Co-owners association : RAHA
- I am trully amzed and at same time happy with Zakaria as the executive of the association RAHA of our Kortoba residence (Sunset apartments); though he has a very busy job at the other side of Fez, and even doesn't live permanently there, but he's very often at his lunch breaks and at the end of the day visiting the place and managing closely things
- I made some appointments with Zakaria last year on a.o. making the necessary legal steps to consolidate the association and on the other hand to manage the residence, these are time consuming procedures, he kept all his words, so now we do have a legal co-owners association, with the legal documents which I will publish as soon as the 'platform site' is ready
- Records of all transactions payments and so on are kept and will be published on the site
- An account has been opened just recently with IBAN number so that we all can contribute monthly, and pay our duties on time
- Please do contribute monthly, or in advance, fixed amount is 100 Dh a month.
- Please communicate with me your e-mails phone numbers etc. it makes it a lot easy to reach each of you if needed. Furthermore we miss a lot of names adress telephone numbers etc. to complete the list of co-owners
- Guillaume or anyone of you, if you still have some names, e-mails /adresses of co-owners etc. please let me know.

Some concerns
- Many electric and or water counters of us has been taken away by RADEEF (water en eletric company of Fez), this is because many of us hasn't pay on time, so pls. be prepaid that on arrival to your flats many of us wouldn't have water or electrical supply, costs will be charged by RADDEF to draw a new contract and re-install the counter(s) around 1200 DH for water a little bit less for eletricity.
- Zakaria and the members of his team are seeking possibility to avoid such situation.

Salam,
Ismael
