Rents are indeed increasing, but so is the average salary in Spain. I'm not saying with this that the situation is easy for locals. I totally agree that the situation is delicate and there should be more public policies to help citizens with rentals... but Madrid is still a very demanded place for expats, and there are good reasons for it

@@livinginmadridspain Still below the EU. You can even see in your chart! I have many friends there and member of Finance assoc in Spain know it well. As said need to compare cost with your salary and make a personal decision. That is all.

@@mohamedhesham8055 Getafe is certainly nearer than Parla and there are nice areas for foreign families to live in both (Getafe is slightly better in my opinion). Regarding jobs, I suppose it depends on your skills and curriculum, but Getafe is quite big and offers more options too. Said this, I'd be open to other areas too, like Rivas, or Leganés, or Ensanche de Vallecas

@@livinginmadridspain thanks for your answer and last question is what the range of rent in this places ?

@@mohamedhesham8055 2 bed 1 bath, 80sqm aptmnt for around 1200-1300€ more or less. You can find it for less if you don't mind oldish style apartments or no-lift 3rd floor or things like that

Thank you @user-zo1fr5dz9t ! I'm glad that it helped you!

Thanks for your comment. I am a Real Estate buyers agent.

Hi @FakeOrphanFM I don't quite get your comment... did I write 'This' instead of 'These' somewhere? Thanks

Gracias a ti, Leo! ¿Que tal estáis?

It's an amazing area I must say... Collado Villalba is the biggest town in the area, with more than 60K inhabitants and all the services and commodities, well connected to Madrid with buses and light train. The rest are small towns, from 5 to 15k people, near the mountains, with great hiking (and cycling) paths and with a lot of life. And because is further away than Pozuelo or Majadahonda, it is also much less expensive.

In fact I speak about this area in my video "⭐WHY You Should Move To These 10 AMAZING MADRID SUBURBS ⭐ (Part 2)" kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3nQqqB6rbCjkM0si=hDvhUdwaPKzD1a4L&t=213

@@livinginmadridspain thank you

Thanks for your words! Do you mean "Las Rozas", in the NorthWest of Madrid? Anyway, it will basically depend on your budget and your lifestyle. It's an awesome area in any case ;) You can contact me if you need further help. cheers!

@livinginmadridspain yes, Las Rozas, budget is around €2 million without any mortgage. Which one justifies the value better ?

@@ge-ge-ge7953 With that budget you can access both villas and luxury apartments and you'd be happy with any of them. As I said in my previous comment, it would mainly depend on you lifestyle, necessities, circumstances and purpose of the purchase. I'd need more information to give you a more precise advise. I suggest you call me or send me a WhatsApp so we can have a deeper conversation about this if you want. Absolutely no compromise. Iust want to help you make the best decission. If not, you can have a look at my last two videos where I talk about buying and negotiating a home in Madrid, but still, I recommend you to count on a professional buyer's agent for this huge step. Have a great day, sir!

@livinginmadridspain Thank you. I'll definitely keep you as my priority consultant once we decide to move to Spain. Good luck to your channel, great content.

❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍😍

Great!!! Muito obrigado Joao. If you need any help in your research, you know where I am ;-)

Wow! Thanks so much for your words!! If you ever come, don't forget to get in touch with me if you need any help!

No, thanks to you! What did you like most? What other content would you like to see in the channel?

They are indeed! one hour away by car 😉

Appox. 50-60 km. from Madrid city centre.

Great! I'm glad you liked it! If you need further help on your move, don't hesitate to contact me! ;)

I'm not an expert in Barcelona, although districts like L'Eixample or Gracia are very nice to live, I'm sure... Regarding Madrid, I have a video about the best neighborhoods and two more about the best suburbs!

In Melbourne, Victoria, Australia there is also "Vacant Residential Land Tax" which is 1% of the Capital Improved Value. www.sro.vic.gov.au/vacant-residential-land-tax

Hi @erik_carter_art. First of all, sorry for not responding before... Yes, there are quite a few biotech companies here, take a look at these listing: biotech-spain.com/es/directory If you ever come here and need further help on that, please let me know, you know where I am! www.livinginmadridspain.com/

Thank you @TheMarcoAlegria ! It's great to see that it helps :) If you need further advise, don't hesitate to ask😉

Sorry, I didn't quite get your comment. What promo?

Thank you very much for your kind comment @rodneynadasen481 !! About your question, Valdefuentes is a neighborhood in the northern limit of Hortaleza district, that covers the residential areas of Sanchinarro, Valdebebas, Virgen del Cortijo, Las Cárcavas, and El Encinar de los Reyes. I've already talked about Sanchinarro in some of my videos, and right now it's the only one I'd really recommend, if your intention is to live for 1 to 5 years. The reason for this is that Valdebebas is a neighborhood that has limited commuting options to the rest of the city, with only one Cercanías station, so it's quite car-dependent. But if you're planning to buy, the area of Valdebebas is very hot now, with a lot of new construction going on, and in a decade, the price will have increased considerably, so it's a great investment option. As for schools, there are not many options, with only St. George International School in Sanchinarro, but you would be very close to La Moraleja, that hosts some of the most prestigeous International Schools in the whole country. If you want specific video about this area, I'll put it on my 'to do' list ;)

@@livinginmadridspain thanks for the insights, we plan to send our daughter to Kings in La Moraleja and the accommodation is looking out of budget so I was looking at areas around like you mentioned Las Tablas.. Also, we may look into city around Chamartin if we try another international school with city life.. any suggestions? Ideally I want to live in close proximity to the school

@@rodneynadasen481 My suggestion is that you should schedule a free video call to discuss your specific case, and if afterwards you want to hire our services, it's entirely up to you, there is no obligation.

Yeah!😏

Salamanca! Que ciudad tan bonita! Bueno, se escapa un poco de nuestro ámbito de acción, pero te deseo suerte en la búsqueda!

@@livinginmadridspain gracias！

Las cosas cambian lentamente, pero España es un país bastante primitivo al respecto. 🐾🐾🐾

Muchas gracias @gaming4vk835 !!! Desde luego que seguiremos creando contenido! 💪🏻 ¿Hay algún tema del que te gustaría que hiciéramos un vídeo?

@@livinginmadridspain precisamente me encantaría si sea posible subir contenido también en español para mejoramiento de no nativos. Se ha hablado mayoría de los temas más importantes así que de momento no tengo sugerencias sino que en el futuro claro.

@@Gaming4VK Muchas gracias por el feedback! En un principio no nos planteamos hacer contenido en español, al menos en el canal de KZbin. Pero esperamos poder tener toda la información que proporcionamos en los vídeos, en español, en nuestra página web, a lo largo de este año (por escrito, eso sí)

Thank you!! We're very glad you found it interesting @youtubetom

Thanks for your comment @peterlbaldwin511 ! Indeed Madrid is also cleaner than most people tend to think, and we do have a great refuse trucks service everyday, but it is true that the mentality of people regarding throwing garbage on the ground is, at the very least, improvable😅. But hey! thanks for that comparison!

It is possible to apply for a non-lucrative visa in Spain with 70,000€ in your bank account, but there are other requirements that must be met as well. One of the key requirements is that you must have a reliable source of income to support yourself during your stay in Spain, as you are not allowed to work or engage in any economic activity while on a non-lucrative visa. I recommend that you consult with a qualified immigration lawyer or the Spanish consulate in your country for more information on the specific requirements and application process. If you want you can email us and I'll refer you to our legal team.

Thank you for watching!

Muchas gracias a ti por verlo ☺️

Hello Mohammed! Thanks for your nice comment! I'm glad it was helpful. We do not have a video about what you said, but it is a great idea! I will try to make a video about it! Thanks for your proposal! Have a great day!

@@livinginmadridspain Thank you. Have a nice day.

Thanks Chinthana! Hope we meet soon in Madrid! :D
