I feel sorry for all the English people coming to Spain buying a house or a car is so complicated, I am Irish and I speak to a lot of English who are my friends in Spain and they all tell me they made a serious mistake by voting for Brexit......

Hi Windtalker, I would never buy a Mobile Home because it 's life span is short enough, bricks and morter is a better option I think, but one of my friends rent's a place near La Zenia for 3 Months, March, April, and May, he think it's great value at €500 a Month and he can walk away no cleaning and no problems like things breaking, my water heater went last Week, the element in the cooker a Month ago and it all cost's money, he told me if I got €65,000 for my place that would cover a lot of rent for the rest of my life. I bought the place in 2001 was lucky enough I had loan, now there would be no capitol gains tax as I would be selling at a loss........

Hi Windtalker I think you are ripped off with those costs for the mobile homes, and like here in Ireland rain is never far away, anyway I still think renting is a better option if you are satisfied with 3 Months in paradise, I also bought a new car in Spain in 2011 drove it back to Ireland a few times, but the first one I bought was cut and shut, and the second one was clocked so I said enough is enough.... the price was €32,000 in Ireland in Spain €20,000 so that's not bad. now it's still worth €9,000 so that was a good deal. the car tax only €50 and fully comp insurance can drive anywhere in Europe.

Hi Windtalker our Community fees are €600 a Year because we have 2 lifts in the property, and in Spanish law you must have a phone line connected so we are paying rent for them as well, then the cleaners come everyweek the place is spotless but the price is also high,

My apartment is in Torrevieja in the Costa Blanca, you see the cost's I outlined below, the non redidencial tax alone is €300 and the local Suma which is a kind of council tax is €250 so you figures don't add up at all, some owners don't pay them taxes, but when ever they sell, the debth is attached on to the deeds so the no escape and then they will charge 30% extra on top of the fees owed, so you can't win, ours is a 2 bed Apartment on a gated community, what are your community fees, windtaker,
