'Someone tried to buy it last month...They had a look around and they offered €1.8 million which is three, four times what I originally bought it for'
"Someone tried to buy it last month...They had a look around and they offered €1.8 million which is three, four times what I originally bought it for"Fitness entrepreneur Rob Lipsett set his sights on Spain when lockdown hit and gyms shut their doors, but what started as an escape, ended in permanent relocation and a brand new business.
Albeit, the underpriced luxurious property on the sunny Costa del Sol needed a lot of TLC but with a little luck, a large down payment and a run-in with the local council, Rob managed to turn Villa Lipsett into an oasis he never wants to sell - despite receiving an offer worth almost €2 million."We had a friend who works in property here and this place went on the market and it was just the most crazy offer ever.
Rob explained that he had a budget of"around €91,000" to carry out the renovations of the villa, and not long after he was offered almost four times what he purchased the property for. "They had a look around and said they have this buyer that had seen it online - they offered €1.8 million which is three, four times what I originally bought it for. But I said no. I can't imagine living anywhere else because I've made it like a little fitness productivity hub for myself".
