Hi Deb and Rob
we have bought in Sierra also, a ground floor appt, Strangely enough we had a holiday in Jan at Iberotel Palace and really enjoyed it. We had NO intention of buying anywhere abroad deciding it was just hassle. We enjoyed Sharm so much that we thought what the heck let's have a look. We were impressed with Sierra and looked around a little but liked the position near the airport (hopefully not too near as the airport is expanding) and there is a finite anount of land and the area has national Parks at each end.
We left it for a couple of months (And a 10% price increase!) and then decided we would never get anything like this elsewhere (Spain, Portugal, or even newer markets) and thought how lovely it would be to have somewhere to go in the winter months especially.
To cut a long story short we went ahead and are quite excited by the prospect. Our boys will love the snorkelling/diving and exploring the region, as will we and we have a winter getaway.
We would hope to rent out but not counting on that at all, just in case.
It is a big step but equally, for what you get I think any risk is well worth taking. There is perhaps less risk than many may think and you don't have much winter competition if letting out.
Good luck!
Iain
