I was thinking I'd be tempted to take the 250k and buy a house in UK and rent it out. Then just rent in Spain. Looking at some of the other comments looks like this would be an option. I would imagine rents are more favourable in Spain, but I could be wrong...
You can get a property requiring some work for 50 thousand and way less if you step away from the usual coast / British tourist area and look at the real Spain👍
But 95% of movers want the sea too, the whole coast is going up in cost from Barcelona to Cadiz. It's affecting the "next" inland Cities like Girona, Elche & Jerez. Cheaper properties are going to get ever further from the coast.
@@ScottishCoupleInSpainWhere would you move in my case then? Also big up to you for bringing up my question. I am truly honored by your reply. Absolute legend you are Barry. All the best and I keep watching.
Spain is a huge country. It all depends on what you want out of life. Do you want an area where many English speakers are so you don't have to worry about learning to much Spanish? So many questions.
@@ScottishCoupleInSpain I agree, we had an apartment from 2000 to 2017 in Torrevieja which we sold to buy and rent out another house near us...best move we could have made. When we bought the 7% tax was on the buyer, but when we sold they had switched it to the seller ! We love Torrevieja and apart from this year we have since stayed at the excellent Dna Monse, but with the intention that eventually we will stay for longer and rent. There are loads of rental properties that can be had at reasonable rates and you can hand the key back when you go, without any of the property owning headaches. There's also the issue of the Spanish Wills, isn't there ?
Hope your subs go to 200k and beyond very quickly - you both deserve it !

@joebloggs1583 Yes this is true.

So havin watched a place in the sun it’s common tae barter 20%?do they expect this and so is every property over priced by that?
And the wee dog - 🤣
its the Eprem thats stopping me selling up and moving as too young to get pensions and cant work on NLV
That's why we jumped ship when we did, we looked at what "Brexit" would really mean.

@jasonsweb1 we wouldn't be in this part of Spain! 😂😉

I'm 70 years old and I wonder at my age should I rent or buy?
Rent saves youself the Tax.
