furniture

I have just completed and have been quoted a rough figure of 16+K Euros to FULLY  furnish a 2 bed villa.!!!!!!!!!!

Is this the going rate................................

Please help................

Hi Raviss,

As mentioned already, I have a 2bed Tilo in Phase1, and have just finished the furnishing/ fitting out for rental.

In my experience, you can pay as much as you want, but if you look around you can save yourself quite a bit. I was quoted E15K (Jeez!) by Corvera to avail of their furniture pack for a 2bed Tilo, which worked back to E12K if you include the Loyalty Bonus. This still seemed very very expensive so when out in Spain I went to DFS, Murcia Furniture and lastly FCE Spain in Almorida.

I found FCE to be the best value, and we bought all our stuff from them. We just went for basic but durable furniture for rental purposes. We ended up spending around half the Corvera quote with FCE, and for this money we kitted out the whole place including beds, tables, chairs, sofas, linens, towels, cutlery, crockery, curtains, cushions, outdoor furniture etc etc. (We used the Corvera Loyalty Bonus for white goods, bathroom screens etc). We also found Nick in FCE to be very reasonable with items we ordered which turned out to be surplus to requirements when placed in the apartment, which was a great help.

Also, if you are going to rent your property out and were willing to use 'nearly new' furniture you could also look at Roy Howitt's 'smartshopspain' service. He has a website where you can get some great deals on barely-used furniture that could sort you out for the medium term at least.

Hope the above helps and best of luck with your Corvera property!

Could someone explain why my message was edited.

This was a GENUINE offer of a REDUCED PRICE patio set only to EOS CORVERA owners. There was no hidden advertising and I already pay to advertise on the site anyway and so its not as if I am trying to advertise my company for free, even though loads of others seem to do it.

Like Anjinsan I also went to DFS, MF, FCE, Ikea and a couple of others as well as getting the Caladonia info. As the apartment is not massive, I decided on lighter colour furniture and the DFS real oak range fitted the bill. I got Double bed, headboard and 2 bedsides all in sold oak for the main bedroom and then 2 single beds, headboards bedsides etc in faux leather for the second room. 3 seater sofa, chair, Oak TV unit, coffee table, dining table and 4 leather chairs. Outside I got a dining table and 4 chairs in resin wicker and a matching sofa set. I also got a kitchen pack, textiles pack, a curtain pack, bathroom bits and a  lighting pack and some mirrors pictures and accessories. The whole lot came to less than 5900e. Since being back in the UK I have compared the quality of the furniture and I cant find the same quality for that sort of price in the UK. Harveys have a similar range but it is not as heavy and its more expensive even in the sale.

Hope this helps.
