Thanks Codhead, I couldn't agree more with what you said.
Mlaw, I am not touchy at all, I have past that age:)..I really did enquire in March 08 around Benalmadena about properties. You might disagree, but the market appears to still be a seller market as far as prices and quality are concerned. The average price of a new 2 bedrooms flat is around 250k to 300k (without taking into account the tax) in a location and setting way below AG. This makes AG a very attractive investment. For people like me who are thinking of a retirement place in the sun, AG is ideal, it is 20 minutes from a major City and airport, with state of the art facilities (for old farts like me) (e.g., best hospital in the Region accross the street) and other major attractions. Yes, the delay is annoying, an average of 1 year from committed completion (mine was going to complete last september but is due now next september). When I said I am willing to be involved to put pressure on the developper, I meant it, but I look at things in a different perspective, while I think it is good to raise the concern, it is not that good to alarm, especially when there no reason for doing so. As Codhead noted, work is progressing on completion and it is being done with a lot of professionalism (maybe a bit too slow for us impatient buyers) but what we bargained for is being delivered to us, there is no doubt about it. I lived in other countries for a while and saw the real nightmare of off plan development projects going belly up. You're talking about the developper disappearing overnight and buyers left haunting the court rooms for years. Lets count our blessing and look forward to making AG the best palce to be in the whole Costa Del Sol area (sorry for this last sentence..I know that it might irritate you but I really mean it)
Cheers,
Lweld
