We are currently thinking of buying a 3 bed 2 bathroom appartment on the edge of Almeradi (partly to rent partly for holidays). We went out with ambasun and all was good whilst out there. On arriving home we really looked at the short term rental terms around the area and it seems that ambasun inflated what we could get by about 50%. Of course you dont beleive the claims that you can rent out for 20 weeks of the year. We estimated 12 weeks and could handle that, not needing to make a big profit. However when you see websites offering similar properties for this year, they have virtually no bookings. Is this usual ? any advice would be great thanks, we're going to decide in the next couple of days. We are lending half the asking price of 140k euros. The appartment block is nice, great pool - all very clean and new. The flat has a view but across the road is some scrub-farm land. Of course ambasun assure us that it is agricultural land and wont be built on - but we cant check in time as we'd need to sign the builders contract in the next few days... hmm !
thanks for any help
Andy
