Hi,
I agree with Pearce and Debbie, you have to look at the fundamentals surrounding this development:
Quiet location with superb views, 5-6 mins to the nearest beach,2 golf courses within 5 mins,excellent golf driving range within walking distance (if ur feeling up to it!),and one of the CD.Sols Only Michelin starred restaurants just up the road.In addition to this Elviria is a very well established thriving comunity with just about every facility and convenience you could wish for.
These are the realities people who have bought on SMV should focus on .....sure, it would be nice to have a golf course right on my door step; but there again, if you get in the car there are at least 10 superb courses within a 15 or 20 minute drive of the gates. If/when the course and clubhouse get built, look at it as a bonus.
Having worked in the 'golf industry' for a number years, i was well aware that plans for new courses are NEVER guaranteed to be fulfilled .... too many variables, and therefore i did not base my investment on this, but on the solid fundamentals i mentioned earlier....of course i would rather not have seen what happened to the Marbella town hall happen ......but if all investments worked out 100%, then we would all have 100 foot yachts floating in P.Banus ....right!
I have bought 2 properties on SMV, one of which is a 4 bed penthouse .... if anyone should feel nervous about liscences ,you would think it might be me, However i signed over July 06 (after consultation with my lawyers) and have (apart from the early snagging issues!) enjoyed my many stays at SMV. As DebbieP says ....have a look at some of the other developments built at a similar time to SMV,if you need to make yourself feel better.
I wish all my SMV neighbours, the very best of luck and a very merry Christmas!
