The airport

Hi all,

Well, we've completed, I felt a lot of pressure to complete before the negotiations surrounding the airport were signed on the dotted line. I felt that I needed to buy quickly before the prices 'rocketed' or 'doubled' as I was led to believe! 

Now, we have our apartment and we are delighted with it. We love the town and feel the urbanisation has so much potential and we feel the views from our penthouse are breathtaking. We'd love for the golf course to re-open but, we actually loved walking around it, even in its current state.

I'm a natural worrier so of course, now we've completed, I'm now considering what are the actual implications of the airport being so close? I've only ever considered the positives but what do you guys think? Will my beautiful views be spoiled? Will it be horribly noisy? How do you think the property prices will be affected?

I'd love to hear opinions, especially from those that have owned for a while, and new owners I suppose!

If we could keep responses on the forum and not via PM. I love to lurk sometimes and have noticed a lot of replies on this forum are sent via PM. (not good for us noseys)

Thanks guys

The new airport has been a long time in the waiting.... and can only be a good thing for any area.I have a Villa on Camposol that is only a 25 minutes drive from the new airport ...and I can confirm that since the news of the airport opening this year was released ...properties in and around Corvera have been selling extremely quick.

Hi,

We have an apartment on Corvera and bought it in May/June 2016 and I agree with windtalker I genuinely think that the airport can only be good news for the area.

We love our Corvera apartment and the area and like you although wanting the golf course to re-open enjoy walking around the resort as it is, it's like having your own little nature reserve on your doorstep.

As I understand it the flights won't fly directly over Corvera so although I think we may experience some noise I don't think it will be too bad. 

There are many resorts close to Corvera airport that will benefit from it opening with respect to reduced transfer times, but it is highly unlikely that prices on any of them will rocket or double any time soon. As windtalker has said, the airport has been a long time coming and is not news. Market prices reflect this.

Apartment prices reflect many things, location and distance from amenities like local shops, beaches, cities, public transport together with community amenities and costs such as fees and facilities etc.

When buying, always buy based on these factors. Airport transfer times are a consideration but to be honest, a minor one. A few extra minutes in transfer times is not a deal breaker or indeed a formula for getting rich quick.

The good news is that the airport will have little or no impact on Corvera Golf and Country Club from a noise perspective, it is not on the landing or take off trajectory and is far enough away to not be bothered by higher altitude planes stacking or ascending.

Further update - looking good.

Official announcement

I have owned a Villa on Camposol for 11 year's only 25 minutes from Corvera.  ... What I will say is that the new Corvera Airport is certainly going to bring prosperity to the region... The Sensol 5 star hotel on Camposol that has been closed down for the last 5 years ..has just been bought over for 3.8 million EU by a large hotel group ..and now that Masa  builders have been thrown of the urbanization and the Mazarron council has taken control ...properties are selling extremely quick ...also if you drive towards the port of Mazarron on the right hand side ...just after the new sport's grounds you will see a  construction site ...this is going to be a large shopping Mall with 380 commercial retail unit's ...it is well on the way to completion  it  will be a great day out and will be fantastic for the area.
