MikenMandy, yeah I knew they drew 1-1 with Real Madrid but for some reason I dropped Madrid's name in................Hoping they can stave off relegation because its an added bonus being able to catch a decent game while I'm out their.

Apparently Aldea have over 1000 people trying to get there money back from ACC, plenty have swopped with ease to MCC and Huma have bent over backward to do this. People are also getting there money back, anyone think that Huma might just want to pull stumps on the project..??.

I reckon the interest they would have gained would have payed for the machinery left on the site, its probably covered the cost of any labour they incurred so far..!!. I can just see them re-marketing it in 5 years time at much higher prices, agents admitted to me that Huma have realised that the prices are too low at ACC for properties etc etc.

Jasp, at 30 years of age and 5 weeks annual leave a year I'm going to want a few golf and social weekends away with the boys and also the other half, I've waited 2 1/2 years for this and don't want to wait another 2 years etc etc. I think if you buy anywhere in Spain then your going to see an increase in your property value in 10 years time and I am not paying a mega amount more

I also think ACC has got an stigma attached to it which may put potential buyers off in the future. Like anything in life, nothing is perfect but I'm looking forward to watching Real Murcia play the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia etc before the end of the season...!!!.

I swapped through Parador who dealt with Huma being my agent, of course Parador are happy as they still get there cut........

I also had my 2nd payment with no bank gaurantee so it was going to get messy but luckily enough for me I liked MCC and as I said with this not being a retirement home I'm not as fussy, its an investment and in all likely hood in 10 years time I will ideally have a bigger and better property.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on how the trip went as I knew a few of you had interest in this.

Well for me its goodbye and good riddance to Almanzora Country Club as I did a swap for a property at Mazzaron County Club. Its cost me more money but I have a garden now on my plot and were buliding our own pool and the property is already built, complete in March. I think the area is really nice, the port of Mazarron looks fantastic, Murcia and Cartagena also look like nice cities with things going on. The following things I found of interest out in Spain which helped make my decision.......

Almanzora Country Club will not be built and finished for 5 years, everyone states this including the agents we met and estate agents. I can believe this because even though phase1 is near completion at MCC, phase2 will take another 2/3 years. I just could not be bothered to wait another 5 years having waited 2 1/2 and this is assuming it even gets the go head.

ACC properties were marketed too cheap, Murcia land is more expensive but if it is bulit you may have a bargain.

Its going to take 6-12 months to get your money back, words from 2 solicitors including Aldea.

Met 3 couples who live on MCC permanently, all spoke very highly of the site and could not speak high enough of bulider Huma who put all snags correct.

Build quality of the bulidings on MCC is excellent of what I saw.

I'm happy with my decision and I wish the people staying loyal to ACC all the best of luck. For me at 30 years of age it was an easier decision, its a bolt hole for me and an investment for the long term future, I'm not fussy enough to have the worry of living their full time.

Looking at a possible swap to MCC and seing Aldea, Huma and MCC next weekend.

Does anyone have any news or reviews re Mazzaron Country Club..??, in all likely hood I'm pulling out as the realisation is I won't be able to use a potential villa of mine until late 2009 or 2010 and thats taking the p**s.

Parador Spain say a decision is imminient, Parador England seem less positive and if anything seem to be pushing me in the direction of MCC.
