SOUTH OF PHASE 1
Paradise Beach SA are pleased to inform you that we have accepted the completion of the properties on the south of Phase 1 from the contractor this week (early June). As we explained in the last newsletter that the snagging of each individual unit has been taking place for the last 8 weeks and ECP, the project managers, are preparing to send the individual unit completion certificate to all 268 units on this part of the development.
As you know, Electra the main power & water source on the island is providing these services to the resort of Paradise Beach and after a series of further testing over the last number of weeks, there is now full power and water to a central station on the resort. From here, the power & electricity will be fed to each individual unit as it is being used. Each property will be supplied with a meter for power and a meter for water and a reading will be taken monthly by the management company and invoiced to the individual property for the amount which has been consumed.
With these services now fully operational, the landscaper can continue with planting and ground coverage in the remainder areas of the south of phase 1 and within a matter of weeks all ground will be covered.
The swimming pools have been cleaned, pumps are functioning and all pools on the south of Phase 1 are fully operational.
We may also confirm that the respective Utilisation Licenses of all the units located in the South Side of Phase 1 of Paradise Beach Resort were already issued by the Municipality of Sal. This License is issued following an inspection carried out by the Municipality’s engineers and certifies that all units were built in accordance to the building license, planning approval and applicable legal dispositions and also that they meet all the legal conditions of safety, sanitation, health and aesthetics to be inhabited
This leaves the final process of the execution of the title deeds by the local Notary office. As explained to you in previous correspondence, you will be duly notified by us of your signing date. We would also like to remind you that, Paradise Beach SA, does not have any control over the scheduling of these deeds.
