Thanks guys. Ideally we'd like to use it to continue holidaying in it in Spain. Am looking for the least expensive option of dealing with it as I don't have anywhere to store it in the UK. Also, we already shipped a LOT of equipment out to Spain including genny and solar panels etc. So what had been an idyllic time up in the mountains has been ruined by the escalating crime rate (eastern Europeans!) and we need somewhere secure.

Thread: Long term caravan site fees anyone?

Hi all,

Have had my caravan broken into several times on a piece of private land high up in the mountains behind Benidorm. It's a tourer, so easily moveable but we are unable to tow it to England. Does anyone know a secure (and trustworthy!) site within say 50miles or so of Benidorm where it could be left all year round? Heard a few alarm stories about some disreputable site owners so don't know if it's even a workable idea. Anyone know the approx annual site fees for a 22ft tourer?

Can't sell the caravan back to the (English) dealer in Spain as he will only give us a fraction of what we paid him for it.

Any help much appreciated!

John - thank you, sensible advice and less costly. Sneezey, I see where john's coming from and don't feel that he's cutting corners as my case is straightforward. He's right that the Notary has to ratify the Will and many legal forms can be done directly from the Notary's office. I found the same thing with the purchase of the land and I gave a Power to my agent to purchase the parcel of land on my behalf (using the Notary's office, not a solicitor) while i was out of the country (but had there been property as well as land I would have instructed a solicitor). She took us to the police station to obtain our NIE's before we left, took us to the bank to open a spanish account, and we also met the Notary at his office. Completion went ahead in our absence and the escritura is with the property registry.

Elviria ~ yes i'm looking at some solar power too, and its amazing what you can pick up at the roadside markets, my brother got 2 solar panels that way. Awning sounds good, I would have gone for that had we not been building a verandah all round. Should get a callback tomorrow from the insurance people, hope it's positive!

Thanks Sneezy, I'll look into the Spanish will when next I'm out in September (seems a long time away!)

Elviria, I've been pulled away on family business so haven't got far with my own. But as soon as I do I'll post here. I am quietly excited still! Work has been going on in my absence (gates, fencing, water tanks, etc) so looking forward to seeing everything first hand. Hope your venture is nearing fruition too!

Thanks Elviriadreamer, I think you've covered all angles and certainly saved me a headache or two....

Re your 2nd post, I sort of wondered about that myself but I think such a policy would be difficult to implement. Doubt they'd give you blanket coverage, so you'd have to specify each addition as you added it to the land, and that could go on for quite a while!

TPF&T insurance is better than nothing, that's for sure. Can't imagine why it matters which side the door is on, but know it's somehow relevant as have come across it on another thread to do with towing. Really I just need the caravan insured mostly against theft of the whole van, though I'd like to see them try getting it off that access path! I'm lucky as my brother is about 6 hairpin bends away from our plot and can keep an eye on it all for me.

I'm itching to get back out there to see to all the necessities! I'll do some research beforehand about a Spanish will relating to the plot of land and post back when I've found out what's best to do.

Really appreciate your help, and best of luck with your venture too!
