Hi everyone,
This is my first blog to introduce myself to you all.
My wife and I are moving to the Costa Del Sol in the next couple of months and will need all the advice and knowledge from people who have done the same.
We spent five weeks in Benalmadena in October , December 2016 just getting a feel for the place and loved the area.
We will be starting a business when we get there but still deciding on what, we looked at a few bars and cafes whilst there but get the impression that the success rate of these is pretty low, Also the leases seem to be very expensive for what you are actually getting.
Another reason we spent the time there at the end of last year was to find a long term rental property but nearly everything we saw on the internet was not actually available when we contacted the agent concerned.
I may be wrong but it seems that there are so many agents all selling and renting the same properties so when a property is gone they do not remove it from the listings !! Very frustrating.
Any advice for a good long term rental agent would be gratefully appreciated .
We are very open to what area essentially anywhere from Malaga to Marbella including inland locations such as
Alhourin el Grande or Coin.
Unfurnished would be good as we have all our furniture in storage in Germany but would also consider furnished.
We have noticed that a lot of the rental properties have very poor furniture so thats why we thought unfurnished would be good.
Well I will leave it at that for today, I have loads more questions but will limit it to only a couple at a time.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this and also to any of you who can offer advice, and of course I will keep blogging during the whole proccess of our move so hopefully it can help others who are doing the same in the future.
