Pat. pss don't use the developers!!

Hi nana p,

Thanks for the info.

We will be in Cyprus at the end of May so we will have a look at Mother Hubbards and the web site before then.
We saw the developers furniture pack and were not at all impressed so even if it takes a bit more time we would prefer to do our own thing.
Can't say I blame you for considering moving out of this country it gets bleaker by the day.

Pat,

That would have been lovely but the 4th June is our last day we travel home that evening so it looks like we will just miss each other.

Barnabas, which is yours?

Hi Babs,

Thanks for still keeping a look out for us.
I have sent you a couple of PM but not sure you have received them

Hi Lesley & Babs
I am going to be in Larnaca from tomorrow to view our villa in St Christopher's Village. I would appreciate it if you can be in touch as we can exchange information and keep in touch.

The developers dont this out of the goodness of their hearts, they make good commissions by taking you to certain shops and the quality of the goods tends to be inferior.
I would recommend you look around, compare prices and quality in different shops.
By going on your own and not with a developer or agent you may even be able to negotiate some discount as they wont have commissions to pay.
Sorry I cant help with where to look as I am in Paphos but I am sure BabsM will be able to help when she logs on next.

Hi Barnabas,

We had a lovely stay at the Villa. We are very impressed with the villas themselves and the village and surrounding area. Akis the developer has been really obliging and has fixed everything we asked (nothing serious).

Yes I am still in touch with Barbara and have met her a few times. She has been very helpful to us. We are also in touch with a couple of other people who have bought villas there.

Hi Barnabas, yes I'm still here! I've sent you a PM with my phone number. Please feel free to call me.

Hi Lesley

Thanks for your reply. Although I use Barnabas for email purposes my name is Raj and my wife is Andrea. I have visited the site twice now and have furnished our villa. I met Akis in March and again this week. We had our villa furnished by a company in Paphos who are very efficient. We chose everything on Wednesday and was all fitted installed on Friday! I have dealt with this company before and got to know them well. If you know anyone that requires their details please let me know. They are much cheaper than the Design ministry and quality of goods is good too.

I am still not very familiar with this forum so don't know how I can pass my contact number. Please excuse my ignorance but what does PM mean?

Regards
Raj
