got the keys to my apartment last week – i love it
fantastic front line view- La Rinconada de Miraflores Golf in Riviera del SolIve spent 2 years looking and Im delighted with my purchase- 48 apts in total, gym sauna, underfloor heating, aircon, sky jacuzzi etc
facing south- sun all day long
community seems friendly, lagoon pool very pretty environment 1km from beach
having a ball in the sunshine i must admit the ambience of the costa del sol beats n ireland all day long!
It can work – of course there are horror stories but you must research and get a good lawyer
As a single guy I have to say well…………………… you know what I mean!!!!!!! My current ‘girlfriend’ is Russian and I cant wait to see her when I go out again on Sunday 😀
Might even take up golf eventually!!!!!!!!!!!!
pm me if you want details of a good agent and lawyer

Well done, I know exactly how you feel,just great. I’m back over next Wednesday, can’t wait.
The only difference is I don’t have a Russian girlfriend, how much does one of them cost 😆 + IVA 😆Inez
Have you gone back blonde yet ❓Katy
Have you sold your car yet, the price of hire cars are ‘muy caro’ at the moment.

there are still a few developer units for sale and some resales
there is a bargain 3 bed for 175k euros which was too big for me and had a covered terrace which i dont like
there are quite a few brits living permanently on site and the whole complex is very well maintained- the gardener is in fact a resident!
just a nice size no mad kids running about !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Sorry for offtop, but this is not the 1st time I hear special remarks about Russian girlfriends and I do not understand the reasons behind.
What is special about Russian girlfriends?
Why are they worth singling out?
What does distinguish them from Hungarian, eg?
Do they do things: cook, look after the house, or make love in a specific non-democratic way?
Im curious to learn.
Thank you in advance those who could throw a ray of light.

TimWithout entering in detail:
– Hungarian girlfriends could make love in specific non-democratic ways.
– Russian gilfriends (meaning the ones living in Russia) are most likely poorer than the Hungarian gilfriends (meaning the ones that live in Hungary). A poorer person is more likely than a richer one to try to get up on the society scale by being less honest.

Dear Flosmichael,
Thank you for your conceptual answer to the point.
But if it is the unique distinguishing feature, then, in my understanding, it does not justify the light excitement about the subject.Regards,

Timdemographic shifts. average life expectancy for men in russia is like 55 (because of alcohol not because of the women).
Also most people can find russia on a map, but if you tell them ukraine, belarus, etc… they tend to have more trouble.
etc…

just back from my brief visit to the apt
had a great time – champagne every night and the exclusive attention of my russian gf 😀
whats so special about russian girls?- well not having done a full ‘topographic’ survey of all eastern european girls (just polish) i can only comment on this one particular example(in the words of little britain:
‘ohhhhhhhh she was gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
slim ,athletic, sexy voice ,uninhibited plus you can actually enjoy a proper drink with them
I remember the first time we met I aplogised for having only whisky and white lemonade plus coca cola
she said great whisky/coke please with ice!!!!!!(and proceeded to down about 10 of them!!!!)
now theres a girl after my own heart
one of my fondest memories of the last few days is letting her drive my corsa up and down the a7 (as i having difficulty stroking my belly and patting my head at the same time ie driving lhd on right soide of road)
russian girls love to drive fast and my wee corsa was maxxing out as she tailgated along the san pedro road , suddenly the car braked in front of us and she hit the anchors-she was barefoot at the time as its impossible to drive in stilletos as you know, anyway the brakes locked up and car drifted sideways for hundreds of yards all the time rubber burning
just avoided a major spill (great reactions these ruskies)
When my heart returned to its proper place i asked her was she ok and not frightened- she calmly said
‘in russia i drive bus- this little car is nothing’ 😀
so loads of fun in the sun with russian girls!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
soz about speliing still in shock 😯

“A poorer person is more likely than a richer one to try to get up on the society scale by being less honest.”Congratulations boothy, I hope the best for you.
Don’t care about this people (I call them “the game zone-band”), They are always like that…There is some people so poor that they only measure everything in money terms…sad…
They don’t buy a home,…they make an investment,…and pass every single day of his lives calculating the cost of opportunity of that investment…???.
They can not understand to have a partner,…without measuring it in economic terms,…to pay or to be paid…???.
They are quite disgusting!!!. -

To Fuengi:
Yes I know that including a marriage is a contract with economic conditions…
But Fuengi, we are persons not a completely cool accountability book…
A home is for a long period of time, perhaps for ever, and the market will go up and down during this long period of time…
During the pick of the market I didn’t considered to sell my summer home (sure you didn’t, did you?), and I am not considering to sell it now,…it’s my home that’s all…I consider loses in the stock market, not in my home.
Property is a very illiquid market,…to know the real price of my house I will need to have a permanent “FOR SALE” in my window…and to be calculating the cost of opportunity every single call…
How to valuate, your friendly neighbourhoods, your feelings, your illusions,…I use to work with numbers but I can not valuate every thing.By the other hand, I know that unfortunately you are a “senior” (with the implications it have)… I been always polite with the polite people…but sorry to said the comments they said about the Russian girl are very disgusting to me.
…And Yes my tread has been moved to “step outside”…Why? I don’t know…too much facts or Data against the topics,…too much polite against insults…maybe…I don’t know. -

just checking… are you saying I’m a gentleman or an old man?

Fuengi, what is your opinion of the market right now. Some say it is picking up but there are still a lot on sale that have been on for years. Yesterday an article in Sur said prices on the CDS have risen 0.01%
One spanish man commented that near his home there were large blocks where only 5 or so properties had been sold.Not saying I shall believe an agent but I value your opinion 😉

My honest opinion? (BTW an honest agent is not an oxymoron!!!)
So far this year we have seem a big improvement over last year. I don’t know whether this is due to more buyers or fewer agencies around though.
Our market is 50/60% spanish, with the rest made up of Brits and scandinavians.
prices, not much to say about it. No point at the moment

To Fuengi:
Sorry I didn’t explain enough well. I use the word “senior” referring as an old user (or habitual user) of the forum, not referring at your age (I never will do anything like that)…in the same way have been used for Rob-fuengirola. I believe he has been quite clear with the definition…and I used it.
(Rob-fuengirola wrote: From my point of view, every time I make a post, one of the “seniors” somehow manages to turn the thread into an anti-corruption speech…)
.Fuengi wrote:

Katy and others
After the tv show I had over 400 emails and 70+ phone calls. Around 98% form buyers which really surprised me.
However these have to convert otherwise its not money!!!
There are people wanting to buy. Mostly for own use, ie holiday homes, very few as investors ie to add to portfolios.
Mostly worried the bottom had been reached and they would lose out.
So, from my point of view, busy showing, not so busy agreeing deals!!!!!!!
Lots of activity, lets see what happens. Busier money earing wise that the late 90’s, lets see what completes.
80% spanish buyers completing!!!!!

I wondered because I recommended that someone post a for sale on here. No replies at first after reducing 6 replies but it was already sold. so, I know two properties that have sold in marbella over the past few months (is this a record 😉 )
When I deal with anyone on the phone in the UK they always sound very envious and ask questions. Perhaps there are some who never hear of the negatives.

just back from a week at my new apartment
had a ball as usual went to cabopino and the nude bech stripped off with my russian gf and enjoyed a chinese massage on beach
went to seven in puerto banus and toni dalis in marbella
now a pauper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway- fulfilled that boyhood ambition of 2 girls on your arm and buying absolut vodka in seven for 150 euros etc 😀 whats that expression ? p… lord?
so i suggested a pressie like a dress and quickly ended up in that street with merchandise that you need a mortgage for i thought i was doing well with a mere italian dress for 600 euros until those famous last words were uttered ‘ but i need a handbag and shoes’
ok – ended up in christian dior shop- ‘but sir the handbag always costs more than the dress’- 1400 euros for the bag !!!!!!!!!!
shoes cheap at 300 euros
dropped 3k euros one night in puerto banus
it was bunged that night- so much for credit crucnh
hummers, mclarens, ferraris
i must be mad
in my everyday life i am a quiet accountant 😀
