Pinar de campoverde

Hi

I'm thinking of buying in this area.

What I would like to know has anyone used the local estate agents in pinar de campoverde are they okay to work with?

Also I am holding out until maybe the start of 2009 do you think the prices will drop any in this area.

Hi Joellie,

I currently live in this area but unfortunately I can't tell you about the local Estate agents as I have never used them or heard anything about them.

I can tell you its a lovely area, very quiet and friendly people and only a short ride into the decent size town of Pilar de la Horadada and the beach just beyond that. 

I couldn't tell you about house prices rising or falling but I do know that if you want to buy here you will be spoilt for choice as the are literally hundreds of places for sale.

Hi Joanne

Re prices dropping further, just a mo whilst I look into my crystal ball for you. Nope, it's cloudy !!

Can I recommend these two guys who post on EOS who are estate agents ? Hubby & I have met both. Genuinely nice hard working people.

Hi

Thanks very much for the replies.

Yes  Damok Campoverde is a lovely area and very clean, no gravity or anything like that.

I  rented a villa there  just too get a feel for the place, and really enjoyed my stay, people very friendly. I have also booked again for July to get an update on the property market.

There is alot of properties for sale and as yet can not make my mind up to buy in the new area or old ,both are lovely.

I particularly like the large pink villas with the round tower and blue roof tiles and have noticed they have dropped a bit in price. There  on the wide street Herbe something I think it is called in the new bit.

Thank you More for your reply . Yes I have read posts by the two estate agents you have mentioned and they seem to be really decent blokes, but there is one estate agent in particular in campoverde who lives in the village so he would really know the area, and I was thinking he must be alright because his buyers would become  his neighbours

I thought I would just see if anybody had used him first though just for peace of mind.

Thanks

Joanne

Hi

Yes I know I have been going on it every week for last couple of years now keeping a track on prices.

Thanks anyway

Hi,

I lived in Pilar in 1987, I moved there when I was 9 and lived in the area till 18..... (now in Costa del sol)

Pilar de la horadada is a great place and I loved every minute of it. We used to ride our bikes up to Pinar every weekend!

I would recomend you view and buy with an agent but also check your prices by looking on the net and maybe chatting with the residents .

 If you are buying a villa get a good lawyer....I am always worried about Pinar due to the surrounding area being green belt. I would recommend Mil palmeras or Campoamor but I would Thats where I lived.

Ps always make sure your agent is fluent in both eng and spanish...... Not in to agents who dont speak spanish.... how is it poss to get good complete local knowledge with out spanish??? especially in Pilar!!

There are some good agents in calle mayor in Pilar. Ask around once your there.

Hi Susie

Thank you very much for your reply.

Yes i think the area is lovely too.

The estate agent I was thinking of using lives in campoverde and speaks fluent spanish and english.

I have also thought about pinar being so close to the natural area and thought maybe it would be safer to buy in the new area rather than the old village.

The houses in the old village are lovely, very private but some look like there boundaries are right on the edge of the protected area so I would be very wary of them.

The new part is further away from the protected area and I have spoke to some people living there and they seem to have no problems.

I am going out in July again so will see what is happening with the house prices

Thanks again

Joanne.
