La Torre Townhouse

Mrs Bangor - Susan - & I are finally about to get our "place in the sun." There are a few more formalities to complete which I hope will be done in the coming week and we are looking forward to spending time in it when we go over on 4th July.

It is tremendously significant that it will be on "Independence Day" when we spend our first night in it. We are looking at this as a possible retirement location assuming we are still as enthusiastic about La Torre when we get the opportunity to spend more time here over the next few years.

We had expected to be just down the road at the slowly developing Terrazas de le Torre however the economic downturn provided both an irritation and an opportunity.

The irritation was that it has become increasingly obvious that our phase on Terrazas is still a long way off from completion, both in terms of the apartment and importantly the facilities. Whilst be have enjoyed our time in various townhouses, apartments and villas on our stays on holiday, there is a different feeling in going to your own home.

The opportunity came when I realised just how affordable the resale property had become and even if I never see a cent of the money deposited on the Terrazas apartment I still believe that we will come out of this purchase around €50000 better off.

This is what attracted us to this townhouse:
