Thanks for the reply and link.

I have no desire to hang around due to their reaction when I first complained.

I may comment on the results here later.

We are on our third so we are not going to say don't do it!

.......................................................................................

First was off plan.

Place was fine (unlike some off plans) but the developer never honoured his promises or timescales.

Don't recommend it but if you do - do not take posession without an escritura - do not pay anything without a bank guarantee (in your hand) and make sure the building permission was for full time occupation.

........................................................................................

Second was old and close to golf course. 

Liked it, it needed a lot of maintenance, but the on costs were quite low. Sold it because it had two flights of steps, we were getting old and needed hip & ankle surgery. Dodgy neighbours (some, others were great).

......................................................................................

Third on a 12 yr old develop ment. 

No problems, on costs reasonable. Pool and gardens surrounded by 100 houses and flats. Great.

.........................................................................................

Chose your neigbours if you can. If you know someone on a place you fancy and they say the neighbours are fine go for it.

Golf developments are expensive, you have no control of on costs or prices on the development.

If you want to learn Spanish don't go to the holiday areas. Conversly if you want to speak English and are no good at languages go to the costas.

We buy because we like to have our own place and things and value not having to heave cases or wait at carousels but if you come in off season, it can work out cheap to rent. The rental should be the same for a month as the weekly high season cost if you are staying more than a month at a time (negotiate!). We had friends we saw each year, they rented for peanuts and their costs were a fraction of ours and the owner, after a couple of years, allowed them to leave clothes in a stroage room (trastero).

Good Luck

We used to do it, and it was cheap, 200E pa (6 years ago) but we only came out twice a year so it was much better value for those that came out more often. But then our firm went bust and the new people who took over charged nearly twice as much and they used to put the car in the airport parking lot for collection. It was never where it was supposed to be and you then had to pay to get out. In addition the decals were removed from the wheels and odd scrapes appeared.

Now the people who look after our flat arrange for us to be collected at 50E (was 40 for years). As we normally only come twice this is a much cheaper option and the car is safely kept in our underground parking.

I agree with Acer. But, if only an electric one will do, then that is what he must have. Have a look on ebay. you might be able to pick up both!

Having destroyed my mothers portable radio using it as an amp I soon got an acoustic one when I was young.

Be careful about what music you buy if you are tempted. Someone bought me Bert Weedon and nearly put me off for ever. (Not that there was anything wrong with Bert but I would not have been seen dead with his music!).
