Visit our Development for Just £49…


Sounds good doesn’t it? 3 or 4 days in the sun at a bargain price. Hang on whilst I get my credit card out…

Wait just a second! Ever heard the phrase – “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” ? How much do you think a return flight, hotel accommodation, transfers, food etc actually costs the company? Even with bulk discounts you can bet your bottom dollar it’s over fifty quid!

We investigated one of these “Discovery Trips” recently and found the level of pressure put on to buy right there and then was pretty intense. In all, it was a pretty uncomfortable experience with little time to relax and contemplate and a real sense of obligation. Since then, we have stopped dealing with that particular company and are recommending a different approach if you are looking to purchase a property abroad…

The most important things you have to decide are:-
• Do you actually like the country/area? If you like it, chances are the people you will be looking to rent it to will as well.
• Can you afford it? Do you have finance available and how much will that cost? How much can you realistically expect to earn in rental each month/year?
• What are other holidaymakers looking for? What is the infrastructure? How long is the transfer from the airport?

These questions cannot be answered by a whistle-stop visit and commission-earning salesmen. The best thing to do is book a holiday with your family to a nearby resort, organise a couple of hours one afternoon with the developer to get a feel for the specifics of the development and then come home and look at the pros and cons in the cold light of day. Never make a decision when out there – something about being abroad that makes even the most level-headed people make rash (and potentially dangerous) decisions.

We do a lot of research into the developments and countries we promote - our adage is that if it’s not good enough for us or our families, it gets dropped from our portfolio. If a company is confident in their service and offering, they do not have to resort to sales tactics, and that is what we look for. So be careful out there…
