Hi all

Like Al White last November we went out to look at the Murcia area after previously looking in the Benidorm area. Stayed on Camposol solely because we could get a 1 bedroom villa cheaper there than anywhere else.

Agree with some of the comments that first impressions may be off putting however we looked around the whole area up as far as Torrevejeca and down to Almeria. Spent 2 weeks solid out with different firms and estate agents.

It was towards the end of the 1st week that we looked at some property on Camposol solely because we liked the Mazarron area and people we had met and spoke to were very friendly. We looked at new builds but nothing leapt out to say "buy me" towards the end of the 2nd week we were looking in the estate agents window and had a look at some resales we saw one we liked and after viewing we were both smitten, you all probably know what its like you like something your partner doesn't and vice versa.

After going home and having a think about it we went back in Feb this year and put an offer in for the property, although the deal to a good few months to complete mainly because my solicitor was a stickler for everything being correct (he was working for the bank as well) we finally completed in May.

Having been  out a good few times and having looked at Polaris World Alhama (one of our original thoughts prior to the building work starting) I am glad to say we feel we have made the right choice. We are on A sector within walking distance of all the amenities, everybody is so friendly and helpful and we have a nice detached bungalow with a large garden for not much more than an apartment at Polaris World.

Also looking at Polaris World the DVD presentations were brilliant the layout lookd good and spacious but looking at the biulds as the have been going up and the area we were considering you can see from the road everything looks crammed together, might be better when finished but there does not look to  be the same amount of space that was seen in the DVD.

Every where you go you will have problems with biulders whether in UK or Spain and also you will always have people who will think that he who shouts loudest will win the arguement, again this happens both in the UK and abroad my only is advice to those knocking is come and see.

Al I hope your sale goes through ok and I am sure you will enjoy your time on Camposol, we definitely are.

Regards

Iain
