Secret Valley and all those Golf Courses will they ever get
Posted: 14 Jun 2008 19:00
Hi All lm Freddie,
l purchased a Villa at Secret Valley off plan in May 2006, was more or less finished on time in May 2008, inspected just before due date, many things not right, overall quality very poor, attention to detail what detail.
The price of everyday items in Cyprus is high, We upgraded many areas of Villa to get to international standard, We also changed the design of Villa which is a definate improvement so much so the Developer took our design, and changed their original design with not so much as a thank you.
The plot was changed without our knowledge and re orientated, too late now. We were charged interest on 1 payment due to being 1 day late, actually the banks fault.
In the 2 years since we purchased, there has been ZERO increase in the infrastructure, NOTHING, all the promises of shops restaurants beach bars have amounted to NOTHING.
1 year ago Tony Jacklin was signed up to build 2 new Golf Courses at Secret Valley, after an injection of cash from Dolphin Capital, but again nothing has happened. l understand that with the CRITICAL WATER SHORTAGE and the fact that the 14 or so Golf Course that were approved by the PREVIOUS govenrment its unlikely that many will be started.
What are your thoughts on this so called road being built to Polis from Pafos Airport, considering it has so far taken 3 years just to try and build 3 bridges in Limassol, l can't beleive this road will be operating anytime soon . Also the 2 Golf Courses at LIMINI by Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus, are they really going to be built?
Cyprus is well placed in the Med to do well, but the general lack of organisation, the prices and the time it takes to do anything, plus the crazy price of cars, and the Title Deeds what a joke that is, must be the only country in the world where it takes 2 years to prove you own a place. The people and the general lifestyle is lovely, but l fear that for another 2 hours in a plane and your in DUBAI may well turn out to be Cyprus's worst nightmare, l certainly hope not.
Anyway that will do for starters, any comments suggestions on the above much appretiated.
Cheers Freddie
