People never really believed me when I said that my old house in Valpo was one of the very oldest on Cerros Concepcion & Alegre. Well, here's a bit more proof. (Note also the colour- it's red. When I painted the house red, the idiot members of the Junta de Vecinos from Cerro Concepcion made an official complaint for the Municipalidad because I changed the colour from rusty white to red. Well, look who was right).

Hiatus
Well, it's been a while since I posted...and I'm so busy at the moment with travelling (I'm getting married and my fiancee is from Barcelona so I've been over there and we also drove all the way to San Pedro de Atacama in April!), work, and renovations and construction for myself and for clients that I think it'll be a while before I post again. It's also been quite some time since I was last in Valparaiso and I probably won't be back again until October, when I'll try to take some photos and write an update of how things have changed in the city (there are a lot of good things happening in the city right now).
As ever, if you're interested in real estate in Valparaiso or Chile in general, please do get in touch by clicking on the Chile Investments logo on the right hand side of the page.

Old House
I had about 15 minutes in between meetings so went to take a look at my old house. The new owner completely re-renovated the house (you can see my own total rebuild process here and by clicking back through 'older posts') and has just had it freshly painted. The renovations he did weren't really necessary, but the changes he made inside look great anyway. Here are a few exterior shots. I really, really miss this house and wish I hadn't had to sell it...but without the money from the sale, I wouldn't be able to own the properties I have in Santiago and Colchagua. Trade-offs and all that.

La Bolsa de Comercio
Valparaiso was home to South America's very first stock exchange. I blogged about it a while ago here.
From that first building, knocked down to reclaim more land for Plaza Sotomayor, it moved onto this one:
And then when this was knocked down to reclaim even more land, it moved to its current location on Calle Prat.

Photos Of Valparaiso From Cerro Alegre
I really have been neglecting this blog of late. I've been meaning to update for a while now, but just never got around to it. Anyway, this is just a very quick post with a couple of photos of Valparaiso taken from the top floor of a house on Cerro Alegre, last week. I've been back 3 times to Valpo in the last month, looking at a project there with various investors and architects. I won't say any more right now, but if it comes off, I'll be spending a fair bit of time back in my old home city over the next 18 months.
I've certainly missed the views...
That's my old red house in the middle of the photo. I love the way the colour makes it stand out so much. The new owner, an architect I bumped into in the Peruvian restaurant in Santa Cruz, Colchagua Valley, is currently undoing all of the interior renovations I did to put his own stamp on it...you'd think I'd be annoyed, but I don't get emotionally attached to the properties I own. Plus, he loves the house and is doing a really interesting job with it. I'm looking forward to the house-warming party.
