Paying Your Dues On Spanish Property Purchase (And A Little Bit More)

You would think it would be simple to pay your tax on a purchase but sometimes this is not the case. Paying your 7%, or 4% on new builds, may sometimes involve rather complicated mathematics. Once upon a time there was a growing property market in Spain with prices rising at 20% annually for a long [...]

Another Great Attic Flat In Valencia For Sale

Attics are my personal preference for living in a city in Spain. Luckily for me they are also the preference of my clients looking to buy in the City of Valencia in large part because what people are looking for when they are looking for a flat for sale in Valencia or any other Spanish city is outside space to complement the evident advantages of living on top of everything, the lack of need to have a car, having everything to hand when you need your milk and bread and the ability to get anywhere in the city within a short bus or metro ride.

Getting to Know Lliria

Lliria town hall has just put out a new video promoting the town. They have missed a little trick by not having a subtitled version to attract expats but it gives a good vision of the town and you should take a look just to se the Roman ruins, the old fort, the museums and traditions of the town. 22 minutes in Spanish so get a coffee and sit back.

Are You Owed Some Money In Spain?

I was reminded this week about the potential for anyone already living in Spain or who has sold a property in Spain to be owed some money by officialdom. I got a call from a gestor about one of my clients from three years ago. Could I come in and pick up the excess money from the provision of funds made when she sold the property in ... 2009! I misheard the amount on the phone. I thought they had told me 50 euros. When I arrived at the gestoria I was given a cheque in the name of my client for 950 euros.

What About the Pound Versus The Euro?

If you are living in the UK and earning pounds now is the best time to buy in Spain since October 2008. It was then that the UK government at the time effectively devalued the currency and overnight (Well in a period of a month) the pound went from €1.50 to €1.06. This made property in Spain immediately more expensive at a time when prices were still really high having reached their peak in 2007.

The New Kindle Fire, Sponsoring a Child and a Good Meal Out

In 2011 we gave an iPad away to all people who bought a property from Valencia Property, except to those who already had one. Next year we have decided to change the offer. In view of the fact that Valencia now has its own Apple Store (On the corner of Calle Colón and Calle Lauria in the centre in case you didn't know) you can now get there to get your own iPad and enjoy the experience of buying and using it. This year the change of offer involves three things.

Areas To Live In Valencia: The Carmen

Valencia is often described as a city made up of a lot of villages. The truth is that is what it really is. Each area has its own centre and many of them have their own history that makes it unique. So in the first of this occasional series I am going to tell you about The Carmen area in Valencia. Historically the Carmen is the old medieval centre of Valencia.

The Real Niche In Valencia: Attic Flats

One of the niche markets in the whole Spanish property market that still holds its value well and actually does very well on sale are attics in the big cities. An attic flat doesn't necessarily mean that it has sloping ceilings in Spain it just means it has a terrace, usually private. This is the holy grail for city livers in Spain and therefore the demand is always high which means prices maintain themselves.

A Few Bargain Valencia Properties Down in Price

Here are a few Valencia Properties for sale that have been reduced in price recently. There are reasons why these are especially good value. But you will need to ask me why. Anyway the first property in Villamarchante has been reduced to 158000 Euros for a very quick sale. We have had it for sale at a higher price for some time but there was an issue with the electricity company having taken out the meter.

Spanish December Holidays, The Weather and Sunshine

We have just had a very quiet week in a few ways although you may have noticed no new posts on the site because I was still very busy. The reason that it was quiet is that the two fiestas in December this week fell on Tuesday and Thursday. Now I have explained before on these pages about the Spanish tradition of having a bridge day when holidays fall like this but this week was a difficult one.
