I visited the site last year round about this time and I have no complaints with the progress.

Thanks Mark. We have reserved in block 1. It sounds as though this is one of the first to be built. Is there a danger that we are asked to complete on an unlettable property before the 9 hole golf course/hotel etc. are ready ?

If al houra are well behind Tanjah then they probably have not yet laid a brick 

Dear Mr Abeti,

I have already sent confirmation of the first instalment that I paid last month but as yet there is no acknowledgement of receipt from this Notary, Addoha or from your office. Why does this Notary never confirm receipt or reply or write to his clients? I even paid him in advance before he did anything for me. This would not be acceptable in the UK. So can you take firm steps regarding this matter.

Rather than just mentioning in passing I strongly suggest that you write to the developer and give all the instances where clients have had to wait over a month for just confirmation of receipt in his account and mention all other unsatisfactory matters. He must make enough money on the interest alone to pay one of his staff to visit the bank daily! Here in the UK my bank would call me, e-mail or fax me daily even if I did not have hundreds of thousands of £ being credited in my account.

And I ask you or Addoha to make a complain to his authority in Morocco. And why not?

You wrote a month ago that you will send a progress report after your meeting with the developer. Well where is this report? You are not complying with a commitment that you made about 18 months ago! This is causing me unnecessary anxiety! How would you feel if your were in my place?

Even Mr Semlali at Addoha has not sent any progress report nor responded to my concerns regarding fittings in the bathrooms.

I do not want nor should I be expected to go through this kind of frustration for the next two years and beyond!


(Mr Abeti is the senior lawyer at BCP. Below is his short and incomplete reply. He has sent a report since which has been mentioned by others)


We will try to contact the notary again and find out if your funds have been
received. We will come back to you soon.

Regarding our progress report we are just waiting the relevant information
from the builder to add to our report. As soon as this is ready you will
receive our news letter.

for those who have not received the report here it is
Tangier, Morocco 08.02.2010
Dear Client
Re.: Tanjah Beach & Golf Resort / February 2010 Newsletter
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all our Tanjah clients for their confidence and trust in
our services. As you know 2009 has been a challenging year for most of us, both in Morocco and across
Europe. I am sure that like us, many of our clients have had to face many of these challenges but I am confident
that this will ultimately unite us all in a more determined effort to succeed.
After a long difficult two years dealing with this project we have finally managed to exchanged all our client’s
contracts. You should have by now received a copy of your signed purchase contract and the bank guarantee. If
not, you will receive a copy shortly.
With the aim to keep you up to date regarding the progress of the resort’s constructions and future completion
of the properties you will receive from us a series of quarterly updates. Within this first update we have
enclosed a few photos of the current construction of the development as well as the builder’s current state of
construction work.
I am delighted to say that despite the adverse climate, our offices in Tangier, Marbella, Manchester, London,
and Portugal continue to provide our clients with an outstanding service.
Lastly, and most importantly, I would like to wish you all a healthy, prosperous and an outstanding 2010.
The whole BCP team joins me in passing on their good wishes to you all with the assurance that the firm is
here to serve you whenever possible.
Best regards
Oscar Abeti

there were also photos and also a state of works progress report but hopefully you will get to see them once you received your reports
