Codman,

Be very careful when using Villapac.

We lost £350 because we wanted to change our order after we signed a contract and they wouldn't let us deviate from the terma and conditions.

We dealt with the Bolton Branch and found one of the staff, Ursula, incedibly rude and obnoxious.

good luck

On a previous post on this forum, I stated that I'd bought my Polaris offplan through Kayden Estates, and I wasn't happy with their communication.

Well fairs fair,As promised, Kayden Estates have just paid for my flight and accommodation for the completion trip to Spain. And a very nice hotel it was too. They kept their promise and I got a free inspection trip and completion trip. More than most Agents offer.

The owner Karen, is not the best person to contact, so should you need assistance always contact Rebecca, who I found to be very reliable and genuine.

If Polaris have offered your money back then your in a minority. They seem tobe NOT honouring clause 4.2 for many people on La Torre and there is uproar on other forums. I suggest you take the money offered, If your set agaist completing, and be thankful for small mercies-your one of the lucky ones.

On the other hand I still believe Hacienda will be fantastic when finished and well worth the wait. The low density can be appreciated when all the resorts are viewed from the arial shots on the Polaris website. Hacienda looks by far one of the best and is the flagship golf course for the 'real' golfers

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

** EDITED ** No commercial posts please

 

Good luck Gary
