Advice please - Subsidence and or floods on Calle Quesada - Page 2

Thank you

I have a property on C/ Quesada which is very badly affected by subsidence. Sector C14, as are the neighbouring properties and the road.

As other people have said, not all of sector C is affected (yet!) but you do need to buy with caution. The subsidence damage has a domino effect so even if a property at the end of a road is immaculate but there is subsidence damage at the other end of the road, it is likely that the damage will spread along the road sooner or later. Also, look at the road itself. Is it up and down? Is the pavement sloping down away from the houses?

I bought my place in 2010 and it was immaculate. 2015 was the first time the serious damage manifested but neighbouring properties were Ok. Then, those too started showing signs and they have all continued to deteriorate at an alarming pace.

Don't be put off buying on sector c but be sensible and I recommend getting a structural survey done.

Hi, we came out in May, looking for property to buy, and we were shown damaged property on C Sector, one road of properties, path, and road beyond repair, very sad, surely some one has to rectify one way or another, what is the point just leaving it, or is something being planned?

We liked B Sector, and are presently selling our property in England to come out and retire.

Although we were shown lots of properties on all sectors, it seemed B Sector was the one we liked most.

In addition all the expats we met were great, and it made us feel welcome and safe.  

I heard and saw sector b has frequent water cut off problems, plus in the past raw sewage, coming out of the drains .it's a nice sector, but has its problems with the infrastructure .Take your time check everything then check again it's a big move to make, so try not to make many mistakes.We have a holiday home on sector c   Not all are built on infill ,and up till now we have had no problems .Hope this helps

Ps a lot of things on Camposol ,Spain even  arnt like the English Way some even draconian( losing ones house bought and paid for ,just because you never bought a Escatura deeds)best coming here with a open mind.

I live on B & we’ve had no water issues since February in fact the last big leaks have been on C & there’s certainly no sign of raw sewage or subsidence. Lower C has no evidence of subsidence either but upper C definitely has on certain streets such as Calle Quesada as previously mentioned. 

Yes I think I know the road you are talking about. Efforts are currently in hand to try to remedy the situation but it is very slow going.

Agree, I've owned a property on B for 14 years, yes water was frequently interrupted but rarely for more than a day, quite rare now to have no water but never say never, as for structural problems, never, maybe just lucky.

Its good to know something may be done, from the very beginning of us looking at property here, it always comes back to bad publicity over this section of damaged property, and it gives a bad name to the estate which is so untrue and that's sad, as everything could be so perfect if this was sorted.

We found everyone so fantastic and helpful, a great community, and I stopped and spoke to the gardening party who were doing a great job, and asked to join them when I move out there.

So many people doing a great job to look after and care for the community, take it from me, it does not exist in England, you guys put this country to shame. 

Exactly. Despite the major problems I personally have, the community spirit is fantastic. Everyone talks to everyone. Everyone looks out for each other. If anyone has a problem, no matter how small, everyone rallies round to help. What we have on Camposol doesn't exist in the UK. Don't take any notice of the bad press. You've seen the truth for yourself. 

We live on D and have never experienced any of these issues in the 3 years we have been here

The other good news is that the Murcia council has confoirmed its agreement to take control of Camposol and rememdy a list of issues identified by the resident s group

This will take time but at least they are prepared to look into the issues and accept the responsibility. Personally, I think this is all linked to the opening of Corvera and the new extra tourist traffic likely to arrive and Camposol being only 15 minutes away they can see great potential especially if the sale of the hotel goes through as well

Just returned from a quick visit and even the houses on the edge of the golf club are being worked on and one is already up for sale. IMO, the whole place is moving forward and improvements will continue but being in Spain - not as quick as we would like...!!
