Hi thanks for the info.

Can I ask what other areas you purchased & which was your favourite & why?

We're not wedded to Moraira as whilst our favourite so far we do intend to visit a few more places with long weekends this year with a view to then renting for a few months before buying.

Thread: Buying in Moraira - any advice please?

Hi we have decided to purchase in the Moraira area, as a 2nd home, probably at the end of this year, early next as we will be coming over a few times to make sure its the right place for us!

As we will spend around 60 days (we're aware of the Schengen Rules) here out of season & then long weekends the odd week and perhaps rent it out in the summer (as its too hot for us!).

Whats the ex pat community like?

Any preferred estate agents and or lawyers?

Some areas better than others?

We have 2 dogs, so any dog walks on and off lead?

Is it easy to find people/company to do changeovers if we rent in summer?

Other than purchase taxes, will we need to pay any other taxes/annual costs?

Our preference is to be able to walk 20 mins into town but as a 2nd choice no more than a 10 min drive.

Look forward to hearing from you

Thanks

Ash

Thanks for the info, its really useful.

With regards to the income situation, are you saying that regardless of the Schengen rules, that we will need to demonstrate that we have at least those incomes?

And is this the case regrdless of whether we rent it or not?

Thanks

Hi thanks for your thoughts, yes we are aware of the Schengen Rules, and whilst a pain, we've checked on the calculator and its ok for us as we will do 60 days in Jan & Feb and then the odd week or long weekend in April/May, probably let it out June/July/August and then another week in September etc and then repeat!

Do you know anything about the so called Golden Visa, if you buy for at least 500k then you can apply for a Golden Visa that allows you to come and go outside of the Schegen Rules?

Thanks

Hi we're looking to spend Jan & Feb  in Moraira/Javia area every year to avoid the winter in the UK, plus we will come over for the odd week or weekend throughout the year, but for the 2 month stay will drive over and bring our 2 Vizsla dogs.

We are here now without the dogs and weather is around 15 degrees, warm in the sun but feels much cooler out of it.

Our plan is to rent next Jan & Feb with a view to buying if the wether over that 2 month period feels warm enough.

For those of you that live in this area it will be gret if i can just get a feel for whether the weather this year is typical of most years?

And any othe tips on renting vs buying much appreciated.

Thanks

Ash
