Preferably with properties on if that is what you paid for.
Pick the most wonderful location in the world and it is no good as a holiday home without a property.
Concrete jungle - 10,000 properties on one site. In UK there would be outcry.

"a location not dependant upon the coastal bubble reliant on expats paying silly money" 
With one of the main selling points used is far cheaper, than those nearer the coast. 
Could, sorry did influence many.

"I am gratefull that i chose a location not dependant upon the coastal bubble"
"the beautiful beaches - only a short two hour drive away"
Sorry, don't class as near the coast - 2 hours drive tim, really close to the coastal bubble then.

"Thank goodness we all chose a fantastic location away from the concrete jungles"
Pleasant location, shame no properties?

"would  like someone to confirm with facts and not some wishful thinking."
In the main, looking in the wrong place for facts here. Daydreamers only please.

"Why don't you call your agent and Pilar etc and ask what is the proportion of purchasers"
That is one of the same members of staff that didn't even know the financial difficulties of their employers, until everybody else did. Bet they have all facts at their fingertips. Even if they did, would you believe it, should you believe it/

"My very last posting on this as I'm sick to death of you and ALM!!"
Is that the very last, the very very last, or like SJ just keep on making idle promises?

"Who the hell do you think you are, you don't know SJ are finished unless"
Surely, anyone with any sense realises that it is an opinion and not fact, just the same as those who comment that they will get their house.

"Danger posts Julie Anne carry a health warning as they might not be true."
Maybe, as are those who say the development will be completed.

Taken from TIMESONLINE:
"A Place in the Sun

The brochures were too good to be true. Buyers gazed in wonder at those shimmering golf courses - yet to be built; the beautiful beaches - only a short two hour drive away; the lively restaurants and bars - now abandoned; and those glorious villas - mostly unsold.

Thousands of British ex-pats, wanting to live the dream of eating a full English on their own patio gazing out over the Mediterranean, are facing up to a Spanish property nightmare. Prices have slumped by up to 65 per cent in the last year according to some websites, as the market is struck by a country-wide collapse in house values and massive overdevelopment on the Costa Del Sol. In the most acute cases, Brits who have bought off plan are now stuck with apartments in uncompleted developments they don’t want but can’t sell. "
