Hi all
Firstly let me apologise . In my earlier post I said everyone new about SJ by this I meant agents.
I mentioned I am an agent just so you know but not to promote myself etc.
I actually came on this site as a clients went on it and nearly cancelled their inspection trip it worried them so much.
Remember thousands of people are happy and have had a pleasant experience only a few do not.
SJ could have gone either way and maybe clients would have been laughing all the way to the bank but agents should have stated the risk and the ins and outs. If clients still wanted to buy that is their choice. I did have this situation and told them to buy off someone else. I want to sleep at night !! If you think of the national only having 2 horses and putting 60k on one of them . Would you do it ??
I know of agents bragging how much they made from this site , well I think they should give it all back .
I would also point out that an hour inland gets very very hot in the summer 45deg plus and in the winter very cold.
Back to life in spain.I am a family man 3 kids all went to spanish school and very happy. Tonight my oldest ( just 17) starts playing semi pro football for a local town team ( near where Gorgia lives ) and has 2 other teams chasing him.
When we moved here he had never kicked a ball.He has also done his spanish football coaching course ( and english level one) and teaches football to kids.He has also been offered a trial in the UK but wants to stay in spain. This must tell you something.
My middle son had bad asthmar in th Uk was constantly in hospital. We told a spanish doctor this and her response was he wont have. within a year, no more puffers,no tablets and no problems. He now does football and karate.
all my 3 children are fluent spanish and very happy. Its a great outdoor life with loads of sports, the sea , jet bikes water parks and freedom to wonder the streets at night etc etc.
So to sum it up you and your kids can have a fantastic ,safe healthy life in Spain.
Advise is do not buy off plan unless they have permissions in which case the estate should be half built. New build finished projects are probably the safest bet.
Just a quick note to Tracy I used to live in Earith near St Ives.
