Prospective new purchaser...main issues

Hello All,

I have read these forums and recognise that most of you have had a tough time. However the good news is that the repossesed townhouse units are now being released by Caja Sur so that things should improve.  I already live (rent) on the CDS and these units will fit me great and so I am negotiating on one for my family and I with a young child.

Are there any units you would avoid? I am looking at both of the town house types (3 floor and two floor) have you any preferences having lived in them. Also any key issues with build quality (leaking roofs, damp etc)

I hope that they will all be sold soon so that it can become a great community with everyone chipping in. We will be using it mainly in summer and some weekends in winter as we travel a lot. How has security been so far?

Thanks

Paul

Hi, the best of the three storey because it's got views is the remaining one that's  in a pair.  One of which is occupied. Maybe No 19, I can't remember. They have their own underground carpark I think. The two storey have a better size living/dining room but one less bedroom. 

The development is turning out really nice. The gardens and pools are lovely. These are the sort of properties that will appreciate a lot and/or get top rents as long as the owners respect them and make the private gardens lovely. They have beautiful fitted kitchens, each house has its own lift (needs monthly contract about 39 euros) and so will have good sales potential to the wealthy retired in the future. Now there are some nice young families.

Leave the gardens unmade and rent them out at €500 a month or  crowd in 8 people in short lets will damage the potential for appreciation or high rents.

The security has been fine. Most houses are well secured.  Mostly with Secutias.

Hope that helps. 

Hello,

We are still having problems getting access to properties for viewing, however prices are smaller townhouses (2 floor) €179,950 and larger townhouse (3 floor) for €199,950.

Thanks for all of the help

 Does anyone know who is selling the properties? There are one or two private boards up but what about the other 25 owned by Caja Sur?
