May as well bank the cash and rent using the interest. Stops the issues if you need to sell
July 11, 20242 yr You could rent out the place in Brighton and rent somewhere very decent and have enough for a couple of San Miguel's. The house is more likely to increase in value as well.

I've said this is what they should do, as their rental income would probably pay their monthly mortgage, and a large chunk of any rental in Spain.

I would be subject to a 10% tax on the profit should I decide to cash in and take the money out of the country. Unlikely at present but one never knows. If leftie cunts with water pistols start shooting me as I am dining as they are doing in Barcelona, I might change my mind. Croatia is nice at this time of year.

Someone needs to have a wee read about how Air BnBs are causing a real housing issue in Barcelona - they welsome tourists but want them to stay in Hotels and to stop property developers sellign to people just letting them out to holiday makers. Its a real problem.

I get that and I also think it’s probably easier to sort out in Australia when it comes time to sell. Selling in Spain seems hard work especially if the relative passes away. not saying don’t buy but be mindful of what happens if / when circumstances change. No quick sale in Spain

Lets them work out a plan. depends where they want to end up but like I say the spainish property market seems a pain. So unless it’s somewhere for the kids long term be better to rent and invest cash. you could make loads like @bolty58 has but the sale part in Spain seems shite unless you are on a golf course type thing

Sorry I’ve misread. what type of property do you have ? The ones we looked at all seemed to be on the market for years hence the hesitation and looking at renting options

Sounds like Gwynedd council They want tourism on their terms and don't want outsiders buying property They are willing to kill tourism in the name of saving the Welsh language Good luck to them

No fucking idea what liquids are being launched at you these days. At least he or she would know it's only glass and ceramic.

Have a read up, the grievances are genuine and the solutions simple.

I don't need to read up on Gwynedd, I've been living it for several years, spent a lot of time there, I can see both sides but not met anyone who genuinely thinks the councils actions will help the area, though admittedly the ones I speak to are all folk who rely on tourism to make a living and not locals who only insist on speaking Welsh Will take a look at Barcelona though
