RedM Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Looks awful. If you pay me I'll go out and have a long-term (say, 12 months) look at the place and then let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Does it come with round the clock armed protection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Does it come with round the clock armed protection? I take your point Brian but on what basis do you make that statement? On the grounds that your safe in your bed here? There is certainly a crime problem there in some areas, but this is not disproportionate to UK/USA and is in fact a great deal less Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris burford Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 http://www.costaricatropicalparadiseproperties.com/San_Rafael/Central_Valley/Homes/Heredia/Ave_Del_Paraiso/Agent/Listing_1182125.html what do you think for sub 120K pounds -or less after negotiations lol new build Rich Dont know anything about the place but in my opinion it looks lovely and would be worth the money just get out of this godforsaken labour induced shithole we have to embarrasingly call Great Britain. Seriously though if it would make you happy then thats what really matters imo. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Based purely on the same opinion I had of rio. Alot of these places are the same ie places that have mansions for cheap whilst the vast populace is very much not very well off. My ex-bosses girlfriends father has a couple of places around the world. One being on the outskirts of Rio. He was all but murdered when some locals broke in to steal his telly and stuff. The reported crime out there is quite low and probably lower than here but targeted almost completely at the more well off appearing folks. Some places are going to be safer than others of course but I would go there and speak to as many of the locals that live in houses like that and ask them about security etc before raising my hopes and setting my mind on any area.

Totally agree and exactly what we will do mate Problems are area specific mainly tourist/american enclaves attract the criminals. We will not buy anything until we have researched and lived in/around area for at least 1 year. so good advice. was just to show what can be had, but I agree bit like buying a mansion next to a proposed nuclear processing plant lol Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordy07 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Looks really nice im sure the security issues cant be that bad with the big glass windows to the floor. Maybe you could do what the spanish do and put bars on all the windows and doors its not a bad idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
