[quote=GUEST19214,569696]I'm from Scotland and stayed in Sanya for 3 months last year. I got to know the area and the people well. some comments above suggested scams going on, these are no worse than any other city, for example if you get in an illegal taxi, you are stupid and should expect to get ripped off. I've been an estate agent for many years and can agree with the person that said few of the estate agents there actually know what they are doing. Where possible try dealing direct with the owner/ developer. However, look around, there is a huge amount of building going on and unlesss the airport is significantly extended, there is little room for more vistors to arrive, yet more and more development continues. Possibly a better alternative is to look for a long term lease for a property that you can develop. It is, as always essential that you use a good legal representative to check the "seller" actually owns the rights to the property. From what I understood the maximum land lease is for 70years, so if the "owner" got their lease 25years ago, there is only 45yrs left and each year it gets closer to lapsing, the lower the value will be. The most lucrative area is probably around dadonghai, yalong bay is also good but might not be the best place if you actually want to live there rather than just have a holiday home. There is some minor level crime but by being as careful as you would in any city, you should feel pretty safe there. There are mosquitos but not in huge numbers and dont carry any diseases.[/quote]
