Hi Scarlett. Polaris are certainly the biggest developer in Costa Calida. There are two airports close by and currenly a third is being built. I would say it's a safe place to invest although you may not see dramatic price rises untill most of the golf resorts are completed in a few years. Fabulous place for kids as the beaches are excellent and approx 10km away. Also the city of Murcia is a hidden gem and a lovely gothic city that is untouched by the marauding english. Full of small streets that open out into open areas full of cafes etc. Very under rated place.
A re-sale unit, that is not yet built ,is probably the best value because you can deal with independant people directly. If you buy directly off Polaris they pay 7% commission to the estate agents. Once they introduce you to Polaris they have done their job and you deal with Polaris direct. Be very careful who you use as there are some sharks out there who don't want to know after they have got your money. I used KAYDEN ESTATES who travell round the UK and based in Marbella, I found them tobe very unreliable and never return calls etc, so stay well clear.
Go on an inspection trip if you want but I would advise to go independantly as they never leave your side and only show things they want you to see. It may cost a little more but stay on La Torre golf resort to get a feel of what it's all about. There are many web sites with the accomodation on from the private owners

Good luck Gary
