Title: This weeks returners.
Post by: jann on June 09, 2010, 09:59:58 AM
Well, it's now Wednesday and I've  logged on expecting posts from at least one of yesterday's  returners    

Or has the ash cloud claimed more 'victims'

Perhaps they've done what we all want to and stayed on for a while or better still indefinately!!

Or getting over the excess Raki sessions!!

So why don't you jann? What's stopping you? It's usually a family thing, a don't want to leave them scenario.
If you have the inclination, the finance and the opportunities, go for it!! It's your life jann!!

I'm always thinking about it, but I suppose that will be as far as I get realistically  

Although I'd miss my daughters and grandkids, that wouldn't stop me  my main problem is my 2 dogs    but they are 7 and 8 now so who knows ?

I know you're right though about going for it before it's too late ! Life's too short    

Do you mean you have lived over there George ?

No but we were seriously investigating the possibilities of moving out there, but our situation changed.
PM me if you wanna know more!

I agree with Steven about your dogs

Hi Jan
I got your mail, but the PM is still down and you have no email link on your profile.
Hi George,
''I don't know where to start really but I would be grateful if you could give me any info at all about the pros and cons of buying property in Plakias.
I would never buy 'off plan'.  A friend of mine recently lost a lot of money doing this when the builder of her property in Mallorca went bankrupt. She ended up losing the property and around £70k  
I'm sorry your plans didn't work out you must have been so disappointed.
Jann''
We didn't get that deep into it Jan, as at the time there wasn't any properties around the Plakias area available.
My best advice to you would be to get a good 'local' solicitor, who knows the ins and outs of property buying, preferably one who's been recommended by someone who's bought property down there.

Also see one/ some of my previous posts. We bought land in Plakias and commissioned a villa - now finished ( an approximate concept). Happy to share pearls of ignorance.
