To buy or not to buy?

Monday morning dawned, yet another sunny day with beautiful views across the golf course, I can certainly get used to this in October.

We arrived in San Juan and Dan took us for a drive around the perimeter of the development. As yet, we weren’t allowed on site due to the level of construction taking place. The first few phases were well on the way to being built. The road around part of the development is already done so we were able to get quite close. There is also a nice park area with lots of trees planted, a new area for the weekly market and we could see where the school and sports facilities are going to be.

Next stop was the sales office so we could look at the plans, the layout of the development, look at the prices, the availability and start to chat over how it was beginning to look to us.

We looked at a few plans and decided we would be interested in a 3 bed semi, which would have a roof terrace and a balcony from each of the upstairs bedrooms. We looked at the full plan of the house and the available plots, at the model of the site and the list of items included in the price. We both liked what we were seeing and decided to have a wander outside to talk about it, just the 2 of us. Although there was no show house for us to view we had seen the houses at Los Alcazares that were built by the same developer and were happy with the build standard. We really loved the place and the location of the house was perfect for us. Walking distance to the beach, the golf course, the local shops plenty of places to walk the dog, and the house had all the outside living we had been looking for.

We decided we would ‘go for it!’
