Hi, my family and i visited HDA today (Sunday17th sept), we looked at a 2 bed penthouse on los Olivos, we were very impressed, build quality, size, kitchen size and appliances.

We travelled up to Murcia Saturday 16th Sept, before driving to our hotel in Murcia (city) we popped over to HDA to have a look, when we got out of the car we immediately noticed a very strong smell from the local farms, we also were overwhelmed by the large numbers of flies, however the following day (Sunday 17th), the smell was a lot less and hardly noticeable, we still had quite a few flies but a lot less than the previous day.

what I'd like to know is, in your honest opinion how often are the strong smells?, i.e. frequency. everyday? several times a week? all,day?, every month? would like to how often, frequency etc

Also re flies, how bad does it get? As I said when we popped over on Saturday we couldn't believe the number of flies, yet the following day they were a lot less, ? At our flat on the costa del sol we have flies, but have never experienced being bombarded as soon as we got out of the car. Is there a correlation with the smell and the flies.

honestly how bad does it get, we are spending a lot of money and we don't want to,find we've made a mistake.

i hope you can help,us answer these questions.

 

thanks

Thanks for your help, will definitely visit HDA, we'll be driving up from the Costa del sol, we'll be staying 3 days in Murcia (city), we will be exploring coastal, inland and golf resorts, I quite fancy Murcia, would be able to buy a larger apartment than ours and maybe left with some change.

Hi, thanks for your input.

ive been reading up on sareb

ive joined the hda Facebook group.

after doing a bit of research I found some feedback comments on people that have rented, there were some negatives issues raised, I would welcome your feedback on these.

 

1) some comments re awful smells that waft across hda

2) hda plagued by flies and wasps

3) someone said that hda looked like a ghost town, was boring as nothing to do

4) security seem to let anyone in

5) no shops, restaurants etc, you've already mentioned this

how long does it take to drive to the beach, say alcázares beach?

how long from Murcia airport?

and is it for sure that corvera airport is threatening to open soon?

I already own an apartment on the costa del sol in a place called Sitio de Calahonda, we're wanting a change, me and my wife (she Spanish, but lived in London from the age of 9) will be staying in Murcia for 3 days, we will be travelling to different complexes (golf and non golf coastal) to get a feel for Murcia.

we're not sure if we want to buy inland or coast hence the reason for our stay in Murcia

thanks again

Hi, thanks for your reply. We already own an apartment on the costa del sol, we haven't put it on the market yet

the pueblo area of Hacienda del Alamo doesn't appeal immediately, but we'll take a look in sept

we are looking for a penthouse apartment, the only ones on estate agency website that are new are the Los Olivos apartments

can you tell me why the apartments were taken over by Sareb, did the constructor go bust?

What percent approximately of residents are in debt to the community the fees?

one final thing, which of the phases is the youngest and what year was it built?

 

i apologise for the interrogation, but the more answers I receive the better picture we have before we visit

 

thanks again
