Breakdown cover AA,? Green Flag ? or a good Spainish one......

Hi. Has anyone purchased at Santa Ana for investment purposes ?

We have an Azucena due for completion in March 2008, and would be grateful for any advice on the best way to capitalize on our returns.

Also, we are planning to use the property ourselves, 3 - 4 times a year, along with our families.

Is anyone else doing the same, and if so, we could perhaps do a deal with the sharing of each others property, when families require accommodation too ?

Any suggestions about buying the furniture for the property would be appreciated too.

We've researched the internet, and alot of the companies doing packages, appear to be quite expensive, and I'm sure we could do it cheaper ourselves.

Could even take our own furniture over, as I have a Peugeot Boxer van, and could drive there ! Any thoughts ?

Hi Barry.  There are several companies setting up at SAdM who will be offering auc services as lettings and sales.  I am sure Kevins's PM will have enlightened you in this regard.
Furniture: We have found good quality furniture, here, quite expensive in comparison to the UK.  Also the styles are limited for us Brits.  Its the quality that is the operative word. I have no experience of  furniture packages so asked the question on this site some time ago. Steve H  said that on the whole Furniture packages are not of a quality that will withstand the 'bashing' it will get from rental guests. He is experienced at letting property out so I would tend to believe him. Budget wise,  you earn pounds and are buying in Euros.

Hi Kevin and thanks for the birthday good wishes.  Vera and I are not that  far apart, in years yes, but birthday dates no.  I feel  with forums the advertising thing is a very grey area. You are right.  Why was your post edited.  My  understanding has always been that if you want to advertise your own business you should pay but if someone recommends you that that is Okay. Its supposed to be what the forums are for.  Or thats the way I have always thought it should be.  I presume that EOS now has a large posting everyday so it would be impossible to track every posting, therefore, the fact that you entered an email address must have brought it to attention.  I also feel that your post should not have been edited, as another free thinker.  However, I can understand that some unscrupulous people do post under assumed names and they should be paying.

Hi all.

Just a thought on furniture. I appreciate the comment that cheap furniture does not stand up to Rental bashing, but conversely, from my own experience of renting my house out, here in England, furniture takes a bit of a bashing anyway, so as my agent told me, dont put expensive furniture in, because it will get still get knocked around and would have cost you a lot of money.Therefore: Put cheap and if possible second hand furniture in which wont stand you in at a lot of money. There again you may want to use the property yourself sometimes, but you cant have your cake and eat it where furinture is concerned. Something to think about, but of course we all have different views.

Bob.

Thanks to Kevin , Linda Needham and Hawkins 111 for their responses to my question re-furniture.

I'm sorry that yours got edited, Kevin ! What's that all about ??

Anyway.... any more news on the licenses front ? Any further development on site ?

Somebody suggested they set up a webcam on site to enable us to view from afar !

What a great idea. Perhaps someone could have a word with Pablo when they are next over there !

Regards

Barry
