Hello there
We are thinking of buying within this development and have read all your very informative blogs (many thanks) but are unsure whether to proceed as we are very reluctant when they do not seem to have planning permissions in place. (We almost fell foul with a developer in Calabria who didnt have planning in place and when he finally got it, it was for a holiday complex/hotel and not residential) we were lucky we pulled out at the early stages last year but we have friends who are now fighting to get their 40% deposit back! So we are now very worried about buying abroad - anywhere!
We are only wanting to buy a small one bed apartment, but wondered if it is worth our while investing in something that doesnt seem to have an end date for completion?
We are VERY new to all this so please over look any 'obvious' questions i may ask.
We cant get out til Jan 08 to view the area - will it be too late then?? Have many of you reserved a property without seeing the area first??
And can i ask why you all think it is still a good buy when you dont have an completion date for the development and are we mad for wanting to buy a wee place out there??? (Please be kind!) and what makes it better than other developments in the area?
many thanks
regards Minxy
