Potblack, you are right regarding estate agents. When I hear them telling clients that property is a good investment I cringe. Buying costs are plus 11% and selling costs about the same so where's the investment.

The new letting laws brought in after pressure from the powerful hotel groups has made letting out short term a minefield.

Property is moving but very slowly, Brexit will keep most Brits on the sidelines for the forseable future.



Thread: WHAT IS A SPANISH PROPERTY REALY WORTH

What should be a relaxing retirement and enjoying a relaxing warm summer can often turn into a nightmare due to the amount of visitors we seem to get.

At this time of year I have just started to get the initial inquiries regarding friends and family annual summer holidays. We have tried to limit our visitors to no more than one week max but this is easier said than done.

 

Most visitors always seem to stay longer than they initially say and the ten days is often eleven or twelve, because they don’t count the day they arrive and leave.

 

The worst is my brother in law with wife and two kids, he always asks if he can stay a few nights as he will hire a car and tour Andalucía, but after staying a few nights he says he would like to stay on as it’s  too hot to drive around and the kids are enjoying the pool and don’t want to travel. He has pulled this stunt twice before and short of being rude and causing bad feelings, what can be done ?

How do others  manage to get the right balance without starting WW3.

I live in a small community in Mijas with  7 houses that share a pool. Mijas town hall has contacted our community to say they are enforcing a national law that stipulates the the community pool can only be operated after being inspected by their engineer and a licence obtained.

Apparently there was an article some time ago regarding community pools in one of the English newspapers, this inferred that this law only applied to communities with twenty or more dwellings.

Does anybody have any experience of this situation.
