Hi

I cant believe you would even consider takig your mother with dementia out there. I have a mother with dementia and the one thing i have learned is the slightest change in routine causes extreme distress and is unsettling. Taking her away from her familiar environment will be a disaster.

You seem to be focussing incorrectly  on What you can get from spain as support. im sorry but you are living in cloud cookoo land- whatever we think of our nhs what we have in this country is a utopia compared to elsewhere. The support here in the uk , whilst never enough - is actually pretty good- why else do so many people from abroad make a bee line for the uk- to take advantage of our benefits system.

If you want to start a new life in spain then do so without your mother- if she is so bad and needs to go in a care home then thats the best place for her - and best for you- if she isnt that bad yet then unless you have the support network  in place then your dream should wait.

apologies if this seems all a bit harsh but has to be said

Hm

Will need to chase up my interest which was agreed in full, so thanks for info.

Not sure if purchasing in this development is a good idea even if not relying on rental and can purchase at big discount. The infrastructure of facilities is unlikely to happen for years if at all.  Spain is now pretty much a basket case, not that far behind greece.

Well, at least we had a very lucky escap

dont go near this and im with the looney. Talk about potential/location/ski slopes  and lovely holiday location -this  is true but hearts are  ruling heads here.

If the original intention was to buy as investment and hold for a number of years and sell at profit- a not unreasonable objective- your not a flipper looking for quick return- this is still now a lousy investment- you will lose a fortune- nobody  will ever make any money. There are too many unknowns to make a rational investment decision.

If you just want a holiday home and  love the area and have very deep pockets and dont mind throwing money into a big hole- then go ahead- but doubt most people are in this situation. Just rent if its a nice holiday your after.

you know whose going to buy these properties if any ? the vultures waiting on sidelines to pick these up at a fraction of original price from distressed sellers. 

Get out if you can and try and get your deposit back- dont let romantic dream s of what ifs cloud your judgement

good luck
