Villa near Larnaca

[BabsM]

We went and had another look at the houses yesterday. They are progressing well and look as if most could be completed in the next couple of months, although there is a lot of work to do still. About half of the houses have been painted on the outside and most are in the process of having their kitchens installed. we only went in Lynn's. Melanie, if you let me know which is yours we'll see if we can get in!

The road still requires work although the kerbstones have been put in towards the bottom of the development. It looks as if a lot of water has poured down the road at some stage as there are deep ruts/ water channels.

The apartment block at the bottom of the development is being bricked at the moment but has a long way to go.

As I said before... its a lovely location with awesome views!

Hi Melanie,

Looks like we might be in Cyprus at about the same time.

From what BabsM says it looks like they might be finished by then, or very nearly.

Hi Lesley,

Yes looking at the timings and assuming it all goes to plan, we may well be there at a similar time.

I’m interested in any other more local furniture shops that you could recommend and also any contacts that would be able to keep an eye on the place.

Thanks,

Melanie

I have also bought in St Christopher's and would like your opinion on the location if you have been to see it

We went and had a look yesterday. There has not been much progress in the last week. About half the houses have been painted outside now, It was just the first 3 in the road before Easter. There is still quite a bit to do.

Barnabas, which is yours?

We will need to furnish it and then initially use it for holidays for family and friends. We understand the developers might offer help with furniture packages and letting agents but we are more interseted in furnishing it in our own style. Also not really looking to let it out to others but would need someone to keep an eye on it and make sure things are ready when we come out. We are coming to Cyprus on holiday in May to try and set things in motion so wondered if anyone had any advice as to where we should look.

Hi lesley Anne

We furnished our villa last year with Mother Hubbard (they are english) in Protaras they do all kinds of furniture and packages, we settled for mexican pine, I did a lot of research before and found them to be one of the cheapest, they sell other things crockery saucepans cutlery etc, we even got our pillows with the beds from them they picked up the keys from our developer and unpacked everything for us, took sheets and bedding and other bits out myself from uk, white goods blinds garden funiture etc etc we got in Paralimni there are loads of shops to choose from and all seem to charge the same sort of prices everything is delivered when they say it will be and they are all very friendly, you really do have to shop around Mother Hubbards phone number is 0035723834190 give them a ring they have a good web site as well, we are going over in June and are thinking of semi retiring out there this year some time fed up with this country now!! good luck with your buying. ps we do know a guy who is british and reliable for maintenance (we use him) if you are interested he does everything pools villas etc good luck with it all. Pat. pss don't use the developers!!
