Hi there

 

my name is Nic and I live in Sratford east London. Three years ago I visted Murcia and bought off plan an apartment on phase 5 mejonara. It has been a long wait as I though we would have moved in last summer, but now at leat we hopefully complete on the 25th of January. The reason I am posting this is my Dad, Len will be living on site most of the year. He retired this year and wanted a better life so at 65 years of age here he comes. I just wondered if there will be many of you out there for more than five months of the year? Also If anyone will be out there the week of the 20th of January? We are renting a villa on the Mar Menor and doing the snagging on thursday and completion on the Friday. would be good to hear from anyone who has completed in this block already.

Happy new year

Nic

The percentage of full-time residents will vary according to the resort.....however it is pretty low. It really depends on the type of property available on the particular resort. Most UK purchasers (who form the majority of PW resorts purchasers) are not used to apartment living and so dont really purchase apartments for 'retirement' living. Most would only consider retiring into a villa....although not all.

Mar Menor is all villas so probably has a higher number of 'permanent' residents than HR will ever have. However it is still a low percentage...about 15 % would be a reasonable guess..so MM has about 700 villa properies so probably around 100 permanent. La Torre has many more mixed properties but is a bit of a ghost town outside UK school holidays...again you will be lucky if there are more than 100 permanent if that. EV the same was deserted last time I was there so really dont know about that one. 

Difficult to assess HR....but again it is unlikely that there will be anything other than a very low percentage of permanent residents.It is probably true to say that these numbers should increase a little over time as people buying now are probably planning retirement somewhere down the line, but HR, being all aprtments, does seem to be the resort where most have bought primarily as rental  or investment properties or just a holiday place for a few weeks a year in the UK hols.

Interesting thoughts Col however I have seen it posted elsewhere that PW thought  there may be more full time residents at HR because HR has no hotel, the town centre will not be as commercial as LT EV or MM, its in the hills and will be a quieter resort.  All plus points as far as I'm concerned.

Only time will tell!!
