Hi Angelbabe,
There are many good points and some bad about buying on a Polaris Deveelopment.
They are a very good price,the facilities will be great when they are all finished,nice views,restaurants,bars and in some cases schools within easy reach and in a growing area(financially and infrastructurally).
The down side is;a high percentage were and are being purchased by investors who will probably never visit and look to sell them on,i have played golf on La torre recently and it came across as a bit of a ghost town.
I like polaris as a product for price and specification but i am not sure it is the ideal place to live,it depends on the lifestyle you are after when you move here.
As an agent you always have to ask yourself if you would live there yourself and if they are a good investment.
They pretty much sell themselves as investment but i am not sure about the permanent living side of things.
Polaris are a huge company and as per usual let themselves down a little with customer service that is why they generally prefer to sell through agents so that we answer the enquiries and phone calls for them.
Have a look at La Isla while you are there that will be nice and has a novelty value.
Good luck with your trip.
Regards
Georgia

Thanks for replies, although now I am having doubts - I was told that living on a PW complex would be a good thing for me and my children. Well will have lots of questions to ask whilst out there before paying deposit - but thaks again for replies

hi there
I like you first started off looking at polaris world resort (la Torre one) as it was recommended to me by a friend and I have no doubt that its a lovely place to live and have no critism of people who live on them but after months of research - decided against it. I am now moving to Costa Blana South into a town.
I am sure once you find the right place you will know, I know I did!!
Welcome to the EOS forum where you will find loads of helpful people to help you with the big move, they certainly helped me a lot.Do you all remember my posts in the beginning???
Morerosado, remember.......sarah you are wearing us all out LOL, hee hee. It was worth it tho!

We live in the country very near to Condado de Alahama and can see that building is taking place. We have also bought on Riquelme (also PW) and this is 12 months late and we are taking them to court to cancel contract. Having said that we have been to La Torre and it looks super but I don't think it is the place to live full time as most properties are holiday homes only. This area is certainly growing and the infrastructure is getting better all the time. We now have super shopping facilities within easy reach as well as the beaches at Mazarron and Costa Calida proper. The new airport due in 2009 will also be good for the area.If you are coming out under your own steam why not have a look with some of the smaller agents while you are here. If you need any info will be glad to help so please email us.

I do recall saying that cos you certainly did then you disappeared to the "other" forum (Torre one we often speak of) where you seemed to ask all the same questions. 178 posts there. Aw well......................

we have just moved to la torre for the winter. It took a long time in coming but we now feel it was worth the wait.The resort is looking lovely and the call centre has got its act together and any problems we have had(not many) have been dealt with quickly. Its lovely to see children around the place and when the investers sell off i can see la torre being a very nice place to live.Plus we are so central to murcia and mar menor also the airport what else do we need
