Re: Anyone here from Hondon
I think it may be best to be a bit anonymous on here, not that I have anything to hide. But experience tells me that some folk take offence at the littlest thing on here and you never know they may end up your neighbour !!!! 
But mainly it's very positive around here - just be choosy who you be-friend.
I already hear that there are a few neighbourly issues up the hill, some folk bring their bad habits, 'baggage' and UK attitude and these are the ones that still wake up grumpy... thankfully they are in a minority. Come to Spain and it's a fresh start - clear out the baggage, embrace the new world... SMILE!
BTW : Not a dog lover - they cause tension around here, there's so many.
And yesterday we had an Earth Quake (3.5) - .... which was nice (NOT).

Morning all....
I have been looking for a place on the Urb for ages but there is no way im buying at the moment.... Prices down from 250+ to 190 with a pool.
Seriously how much lower can they go. I've been advised that a 3 bed with a pool will be 150K Euro with 18 months!!!!
Is that likely??

Re: Anyone here from Hondon
Would that be a resale Colin? I spoke to Rosa last month and she said there were 6 plots left and the builder would not reduce his price on them. Hindsight is a wonderful thing - we bought our plot in 2006 and have spent a fortune doing the garden etc and still have a pool to pay for, then we see resales complete with what we have forked out for cheaper than we bought our plot for!!
Yes hindsight... i would rather wait for 18 months than get my fingers burnt but i do love the area.
