My oh my, we seem to have a lot of people trying to jump ship and off load their investment.
My first observation is that currently, none of us have anything to sell, simply because there is not yet anything built!
Secondly, if building gets the go ahead, our investment will surely double in value. Then, and only then can a decision be made with regard to selling on. Anyway, does your contract give you the liberty to sell on prior to completion, or must you carry out the purchase????
Some of us will elect to use the resort for the reasons we made our initial deposits, some will decide differently. Either way, it's ludicrous to post 'For Sale' signs on a property that doesn't exist!
Currently in parts of Spain, there are elections planned for May. Nothing will happen prior to this, as the country is now in a state of uncertainty. Next June, will herald a new beginning. Things will have settled down and the new powers that be, will be in office. Then and only then, will planning licences be granted.
We are not alone on this one, there are numerous other resorts in Murcia suffering the same problems as us. All of us will know our faith in June or perhaps even beyond.
We all need to adopt patience, think the Spanish way. The planning procedure is Spain requires licences for every aspect of the building process. Up to this point Trampolin Hills have been granted all licences, with exception to the one to build (they have not been refused any licence). Our friends in El Trampolin will testify that all their licences are in place with the exception of the last one, the licence to inhabit their homes. TH are currently working with Murcia Council to get El Trampolin up to scratch. So you see, even after getting the licence to build our problems will continue right up to the time of handover of the deeds. It's a long road ahead!
I believe that all this will happen. The town of Campos del Rio has doubled in size over the last 12 months and they still continue to build. They are surely doing this on the back of the planned TH development. These guys are nobodies fools. Do as the locals do and all that............! Remember very little if anything has changed since we made the decision to buy in TH.
Keep the faith.
