Hi,

We bought our first apartment at Naranjos 2 year 2010, a 2-bed top floor facing north-east. Summer 2012 we bought at south-west facing 3-bed at Naranjos 5. It is a huge difference during spring, winter and autumn. When the wind is strong and the temperature around 15 degrees it´s not so nice to sit outside at the 2-bed but in the 3-bed at Naranjos 5 it´s nice to sit relaxed in the sun and enjoy. So if you plan to use the apartment all year for holiday I absolute recommend to choose a south or south-west facing apartment.

The location of Naranjos 5 is perfect. Close to Al Kasar and the golfcourse, but quite a bit to the sportscentre.

We bought through Rupert at Quality Homes Costa Calida (in Al Kasar) and he was very helpful through the process. The furniture pack is ok i think. I heard from Rupert that they now are selling apartments at Naranjos 6, also from Banco Popular. That garnen is half the size and all apartments close to the pool. I would recommend to check for a south or west facing apartment at that garden.

I´ve had no problems to rent the apartment during highseason but the other months is not so easy.....3-bed seems to be easier to rent than 2-beds. And once again south or southwest apartments should be much easier to rent all the year.

We have a second apartment for holiday letting and also for friends and family to use. I would say like ptan that it´s hard to get the costs covered. Renters are trying to push the prices down all the time. I rather say no than drop the prices because besides costs for community, insurance, electricity and water there is another kind of wear when you let it out.

But for a long term investment I think it´s great and it´s also nice to have som place to put your parents in when they are visiting. :-).

I also think it´s easier to let a ground floor apartment and make sure it´s faced south or southwest to make it easier to let during winter and spring.

Hi,

You will need a keyholder. There are several companies offering this service on site, including the administrators (ML). We use Sparkleclean and are very happy with their services. (www.sparklecleancondado.com) . But as said, there are many more so look around and choose.

Kind regards

Thomas
