The AMG Golf Course Designer Francisco Lopez Segales has posted the plan for the development of the 9hole course on his web site. The site also includes plans for Club de Golf El Oasis (Saidia). Club de Golf El Palmeral (Saidia), Club de Golf Las Lagunas (Saidia)

Breaking News! Kristina Szekely Real Estate has been given the exclusive agency for Asilah Marina Golf. See www.kssir.com/np/view/phb?id=37. This company is affiliated to Southerbys so is very credible and prestigious. They have several offices in Spain and I believe that they are opening an office at the Movenpick Hotel in Tangiers.

I visited Tangiers and surrounding areas the last week in February and called to AMG site. I was prevented entering the site and informed that unauthorised personnel are not allowed on site for H&S reasons. This I can understand as there was evidence of heavy lorry activity  and  many workers on site. Unfortunuately this resulted in not being able to take photographs as intended. I can report that the building of apartment  blocks phase one has progressed from the entrance (just inside the barrier ) to reach midway down toward the seafront. Has anybody visited the site recently with an agent and taken photos ??

I have just posted 12 photos of the development ALL TAKEN ON NOV 5TH/07 (six of them are shown as Jan 1/07 which is the default date.  I will change it if someone can explain to me how!). Anyway, they are pretty well self-explanatory The batch starting with the picture of the security bar shows the corner at the back of the development which is where construction has started. This is some 500 metres or more from the seafront. Two of the other photos are taken close to the shore line showing the rocks, cliffs etc. - it is indeed a stunning setting. There are also a couple of pictures taken outside the development, one showing the Sales/Promotion Board, which is located at the main interchange (note the quality of the roads - great infrastructure). I will take a look through my photo portfolio and post another half dozen. Any questions please feel free to contact me.

I am making holiday arrangements to visit Morocco before the end of the month (February). During my stay I intend to  visit AMG site and take some photos that I will later post

Hello KiKi, In response to your queries.there are a number of very nice developments in Northern Morocco all with their own features and good locations, however my personal choice was AMG. I first visited the site June of last year and immediately came under its spell whilst experiencing the wonderful location and its panoramic  atlantic ocean views.This experience was again repeated on my recent visit. Now that the earthworks for the beach front roadway is in progress and with more advanced road works at the rear I could emagine much clearer the finished site layout and I was very impressed. At the current rate of progress I estimate that phase one should near completion stage early 2009. You can send PM and I will forward photos taken on previous visit.

Hi All, I am also buying in amg but havent been on the site for over a year.  Dysart what is your opinion on what you saw?  Were you impressed? Was it as good as you imagined it to be? 

When I visited last year I was very impressed with the location etc but there was nothing there at the time.  I would be interested in your thoughts.  Thanks Kiki

Construction started a month or so ago and is now in full swing. It would appear that my agent is about the only one who is clued in on this project.

I can only pass on to members what he passes on to me. By all means try him direct: jakemalka@yahoo.com

Regards

Does the developer have an offical website

I cant locate it

Thanks

Anyone know whats happening on this development? have the issues over land disputes been resolved?

Just back from 2 days in Morocco and revisited site. All licenses approved and no problem with title (as previously reported in this forum). King Mohammed V1 now backing this development for 75% of funds invested (equivalent to 75% Bank Guarantee). 5400 units to be built, making AMG the largest development in Morocco. Anticipate construction start-up during the summer. Any questions?

My last posting was made late at night, and may have been overly dismissive of the concerns raised. I have heard these same concerns from several sources now, so have asked my agent to take them up at the highest level with the developers.

There's no point in speculating further, and I certainly hope there is no problem - but I will pass on any hard news as soon as I get it.

Hi, I have contacted the developer today (Asilah Invest SARL) who insist they have no problems whatever with ownership, and all licenses are available in writing (I have a copy).

These rumours seem to be coming from agents selling competing developments.  please either name names and details, or else we;ll treat it as mere chinese whispers.

Hi, I work for Moroccan Property Consultants, having spoken to other agents its seems as though there is some "family" dispute for the land on AMG, not sure on how this will affect the project, if i hear more i'll report back.

We dont actually sell on this development but recently launched resort near Asliah, its called Palm Beach, if anyone is interested in hearing more feel free to contact us.

I'm sure you have all heard of the Saidia resort, an apart hotel has been launched on this site, there are only 204 units, half of which have been pre-launched - The hotel is called Sahara Beach & Spa Resort & sits on the front line, all units will have sea views, prices are higher than AMG however you are looking at  9 years guaranteed rental  -  the resort speaks for itself. Completion is 2010 so plenty of time to see growth.

Happy to assist anyone who is looking at making an investment, if you've already made investment happy to answer questions if i can assist.

Regards

I have been in this business for more years than it would be wise to admit to, both as an agent and as an investor. Having just completed the purchase of a unit at AMG I can say with all honesty that I have never dealt with a more professional and knowledgable agent anywhere. This individual is British, lives in Spain, travels to Morocco on a weekly basis and is fluent in half a dozen languages including Arabic. If you are looking for piece of mind then simply follow his well-tested blueprint for buyers. He has all the contacts you are looking for and will happily introduce you to them  including the Developer - who he has known on  a personal level for many years. I travelled northern Morocco with this agent in November and investigated several other situations. AMG came out on top for me by quite a stretch. It truly is a breath-taking site and its access to Asilah is the icing on the cake!

I have purchased at asilah marina development through simple overseas and found their rep ged preston  very helpful and professional he answered all my questions and also explained a lot about property in spain and off plan investment any concerns I had about this company have now been removed

I had visited other developments prior to this one with another company and they were very hard sell and could not answer all my questions

anyone considering purchasing in morocco but having doubts speak to ged he will give you honest straight answers unlike a lot of the typical property salesmen

good luck cant wait to visit again later this year to see how the progress is going 

I have purchased a Front Line Beach apartment in Asilah Marina Golf with ACI Developments.  I found them to be very helpful and professionable and i am more than happy with my purchase.  I visited 2 developments whilst in Morocco, one in Marina Smir and the other in Asilah and i much preferred the white washed village of Asilah.  I have now also bought a second investment property from ACI in Spain.

Hi all, My thoughts as a first time buyer overseas.

the sharing of genuine concerns is legitimate for first time buyers.Individual investors are right to enlist the views and experience of other fellow investors and to ask questions on this open forum.This enables all of us to make more informed decisions on what investment to make, as the more we talk hopefully the better understanding we have.Its important to share information relating to agents - property developers- planning permission-bank guarantees- etc etc. So far I am reasonable happy with my investment at AMG  but some outstanding issues remain to be resolved. 

Guys,

whats all this talk about simple overseas and simple property group. I work for a large bank in the UK now, used to be in Ireland and I can tell you 2 othe people who have invested with them. Both are respected people in their community. As a banker we are always looking at whats going on and I can tell you straight they do exactly what they say they do. They provide great lifestyle homes, good investment property and have some great properties for all budgets.

I have no problems in recommending them and if you would like to get hold of me then drop me an email and I will either call you or write back. Again, If a banker, a lawyer and a teacher have faith in investing in them, then we can be  pretty sure about them. i have no problems with asilah, and infact i am looking at Italy with them, so yes is the easy answer...i have paid the deposit, and i have all my paperwork...

Hello All,  Update on Methods of payment for Irish purchasers regarding  40%  deposit.

The cheque/bank draft is made payable to Simple Properties Ltd or Transfer to Lawyers account name Blanc Asistencia Legal S.L.Malaga.Bank Name (0128) Bankinter.Malaga.It is a Spanish fiscal requirement that a registration document is completed and a copy of your passport is provided.

The 40% will be passed to Simple Overseas client Promoteur "Asilah Invest Sarl "who currently have the property listed as 203600

hi everyone

like you i have been involved with simple and am planning to buy in AMG when i have contacted simple they have been helpful and sent me site plans and floor plans of the type of apartments that i have requested some of the apartments that i was offered were not worth investing in and i was told these were the only ones that were left when i said i did not want them i was offered front line ones which are excellent,  simlple have been very helpful and at the moment i cannot complain about their service, can anyone tell me if they have bought with simple in the past, or do they know of anyone who has, and do they know whether they are a reputable agent?  i to am worried about paying the deposit as i have been told not to give it to the agent but to put it in to an escrow account in the UK,  has anyone paid their deposit yet?   and if so whom did they pay it to .  also can anyone recomend a good solicitor in the UK or in Morocco i think i would prefer to use one in Morocco

the man 

Anyone else finding it hard to make contact with Simple to check out what stage their property purchase is at? I can never get straight answers from these guys.  Also hard to get an intelligent answers on numerous areas to do with planning permission, bank protection for my deposits and who gets the deposit is it the agent or the developer.

Hi

I was informed by Simple Overseas that there is no bank guarantee in place at this point in time and perhaps not for a long time ??. As you rightly point out the low rise front line apartments are selling out quickly only one left with this agent. Blocks of Front line Apartments are avaiIable. I requested that they investigate providing insurance through their Spanish bank at a reasonable premium.They promised to look into this.

Hi all,

can anybody tell me who the developer is as i am very sceptical having had my fingers singed in the past. Need to know the developer b4 i commit to reservation. Thanks

We are due to pay end of september aswell.

Is yours a front line apartment ?
