Hi Martin 1,
I have no desire to enter into a protracted debate with you as I was just offering my personal view of the situation as someone " on the ground " , and I do understand everyones disappointment at the eventual outcome but I would point out that there were NO WINNERS here not even our beloved Calidona ( lol ), as the deposits you refer to would hardly cover the cost of the land purchase not to mention the cost building the resort and the 1100 homes that were eventually built.
I am indeed very sorry for anybody who suffered financially not least of all myself, if anybody has walked away from here with anything but a large debt I will be amazed, (Calidona included), but I would also remind you that a home is a home be it permanent or holiday and you haven't lost anything until to sell the property only then will you be able to truly calculate your "loss" or your "gain".
The world is a very different place today than it was in 2005/6 when we first " bought into the dream "
Best Regards
