I'm thinking about retirement and would love to move to Spain and buy property, but my wife has a suggestion that it would be better to stay at the hotel first for a couple of weeks or months. Get your head around and see if you like the area, and then look for properties to buy.
@ExpatTheExplorer28 күн бұрын
@pavolkocis7456 Thanks for the comment Pavol. Your wife has an excellent idea, definitely better to rent for a couple of weeks rather than buy a property and later find out you don't like the area. Maybe it would be even better to rent an Airbnb from locals. In hotel you will always be a tourist, rent from the locals and speak to them about the area, cost, pros and cons etc, they may even know someone who is selling property. Sending Warm wishes to your wife and Good Luck with the move to both of You!
@mradventurer81049 күн бұрын
I am a man just like you and would like to just buy. But the suggestion your wife made I heard before and is probably wiser. Maybe you like the area but you may find out you want to be closer to the airport, closer to a shop or beach (because it takes longer to get there than you think) or just a few kilometers in a different direction simply because you like it more there. Most of those things you will only find out by being there.

One thing I would like to see mentioned for the properties on any video is parking. Is parking available on the plot, if not show where it is in relation to the property 👍 The other problem is the 90 day rule stopping a lot of people living in Spain and adding to the countries economy. Great video though 👍❤️
@ExpatTheExplorerАй бұрын
@croc8998 Good point with the parking, I will keep it in mind for future videos. I hope the Spanish government will come up with some alternative for the Brits, rather than the 90/180 rule or the Golden visa.

The only problem how much Property Tax for each year ,and infrastructure such as hospitals .Market ,and education for families and elderly ,as well as the ease of obtaining permanent residence easily on the internet without the need of a lawyer ,and then there is not fraud in buyer the property means the money is placed in a bank dedicated to the property as a commercial , that is help the forging buyer a deepens the feeling if trust for foreigners
@ExpatTheExplorerАй бұрын
@saadalazzawi3038 Those are aspects you would have to deal with in any country. Annual tax is 0.4%-1.10% of the cadastral value of the property and Spain is one of the top ten countries in the world for having excellent infrastructures as well as healthcare. If you are afraid of fraud then maybe it is better to get a notary for peace of mind.

@MsLudam If you had listened to what I said, you’d know why! I clearly mentioned owning a house without spending half a million or making updates to a cheap property. This house didn’t just fall from the sky-someone bought an old house, fixed it up, and sold it for whatever price they set. And that’s the whole point of the video. I hope it makes sense to you now.
