How to Move Safely to Spain |
|||||||||
A few simple ways to lose
(a lot!) of money quickly in Spain:
* Buy an illegal Spanish property - of which there are many: too close to the coastline, built without planning permission, too large for the plot size or that lack a correctly authorised Occupancy Permit (etc.) * Buy a property in Spain that could be urbanised - you may lose part of your Spanish property and pay huge fees towards the infrastructure costs. * Buy a Spanish property that has major structural defects. Or you could lose significant money by: * Buying into an area that is blighted by shade problems, flooding or a disastrously low re-saleability factor. * Paying way too much for your property in Spain and getting caught for paying (as a buyer!) a huge estate agentīs commission. * Misunderstanding your inheritance tax position and ending up having to pay massive IHT - should you or your partner die. * Thinking that (as an EU citizen) you will automatically, as of right, obtain free health care in Spain when you are ill.
And so on, and so on....
DON'T GET ME WRONG, Spain is a brilliant country and can provide a stunningly fine way of life. I know - because I moved here with my family several years ago and we have found living in Spain to be wonderful. Spanish culture is great and living in Spain, for us, has been consistently fulfilling, fun and rewarding.
But then (before moving to Spain) we knew exactly what we were doing....
Frankly, the secret to moving to Spain - or buying a property in Spain - safely is not 'rocket science'. However, it is about know-how: detailed knowledge and correct preparation.
Before you move to Spain, you must know about Spain, Spanish culture, the facts about Spain and how things work in reality. You must know where the pitfalls are and have the knowledge to avoid them. If you do, then you will be able to buy property in Spain safely and your future life in Spain will be successful and fulfilling - for the long term. Be ignorant and 'trusting', careless and naiive - and you may lose everything that you have worked so hard for over many long years.
Any move abroad is stressful - with the buying of property in another country even more so. Indeed, the stakes are just about as high as they can get. So, why risk your life savings and future happiness for want of a little home work? 'How to Move Safely to Spain' does exactly what it says in its title. Itīs a step by step, authoritative guide that gives you the real facts about Spain and Spanish property whilst leading you through the minefield of moving to Spain. Safely. Because, at the end of the day, nothing is more important in any move (or property purchase) than safety - the absolute safety of your life savings and the safety of your future life and dreams. Is that worth 12.75€? A stupid question....

![]() On a personal note:-
I am more convinced than ever that coming here without detailed knowledge about Spain, without the right facts about Spain and without a reasonable understanding of Spanish culture is a mistake - and one that can be very costly. Spain is strikingly different from other countries, which is what makes it so wonderful - however, these very differences can also be dangerous for the unwary. So, having the true facts about Spain, from an objective and unbiased source, is absolutely vital.
I say this as someone who has been working in Spain for several years, whilst raising my family here. This has meant that I have a detailed knowledge of what work in Spain is like together with, of course, the reality of Spanish schools, health care and day to day life. Equally, I have been directly involved with the sale of villas in Spain together with land, apartments and town houses. This has provided me with invaluable, pragmatic knowledge of an industry that, at times, has been less than transparent. Certainly, buying villas in Spain (or any other type of property here) requires caution and detailed knowledge - if you are to avoid some truly unpleasant (and ultimately unnecessary) problems!
My point is that living in Spain or owning a Spanish property can be such fun if, right from the start, you are careful. Then everything else falls into place and, worry-free, you can enjoy a superb quality of life. Spain is used to foreigners, so even learning Spanish is not really necessary - allowing you to bathe in a different culture that is tolerant, invariably welcoming and user-friendly.
So, please(!), follow my advice (and those of my highly qualified 'Move to Spain' contributors) and you will enjoy Spanish culture at its best and an al fresco life that is absolutely enchanting. Without doubt, living in Spain can be fabulous and make all your dreams come true...
GOOD LUCK! |
