Buying property

[gem15]

I have to agree with Scottochott that's far too expensive, i think someone is pulling your chain. Also some people say Kantaoui on a description but it will probably be Chott Merium or Tantana.

 

[Jane BM]

Is £293,000 for a 2 bedroom apartment in Kantaoui a fair price, does anyone know?

Whoa.......is it gold plated Burton....

 

[Burton]

Thanks everyone, and just as I thought way to high a price! I've seen a 1 bedroom apartment for £28,000 in Kantaoui, does that seem reasonable?

Ive heard many a bad thing about The Dunes, Firstly its not in Kantaoui by any means.

Impossible to say without seeing property details, can you post them? As I said before Kantaoui has gone downhill, more a spot for bezness men and their "victims" / apartments rented by the hour by locals and tourists alike for dubious reasons! / loud Libyans, etc. Also I think Gem pointed out the Kantaoui tag is attributed to properties miles away. As everywhere location is key, seafront is always worth more of course. Some awful properties in the Tantana area, but Chott Meriem seems to be where it's at right now. If you post details of your properties you'll get more of an answer!

Don't believe everything you read, I know these well, not a good buy or investment IMO.

Or really they look lovely in the ads!!! You would think I'd know better

Their literature and "images" look great but in reality it's like a prison compound, the apartments are full of strange angular rooms and lots of steps and levels. I've heard some horror stories about the contracts and problems with the title deeds too. The problem with these huge complexes are that they're empty and prone to theft in off season and heaving with undesirables in summer! Unfortunately this is one of the developments heavily touted in the uk, shame because there are some much better places nearby, a good example of why investors should visit and not be persuaded by ads and literature alone, and certainly not take agents' views as truthful, they're only after commissions!

This is typical, the external "photos" are nothing of the sort, merely "artistic images" made on computer, the interiors are show home photos, not of the apartment in question. It is not in Kantaoui. Any serious investor needs to go and visit and look at all on offer, it is not like European advertising, you need to go see for yourself

Thanks so much for your local knowledge and insight and information. As I thought there's something not right about this advertisement. We will go and look around for ourselves in person.

I cannot believe they charge that much for a 2 bedroom apartment. For 3/4 million TND or even less, you could buy a very beautiful villa anywhere nice in Tunisia. On top of the crazy price of close to 3k TND/square meter, I bet they charge a hefty monthly fee for maintenance.
I truly doubt they have any buyers at these prices.

For that kind of money you can buy in Carthage

It may be a small place but you can rent out all year
