waffer cup 07 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Makes me laugh when regularly the people looking to buy in a particular area have never been there before. Then they make an offer on a property they spent five minutes looking at, no survey of anything and seemingly unaware there's 8% tax to pay on top of the purchase price.

Duck Egg Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Did they ever change that law in Spain that lots of expats fell foul of? The one where if a builder goes bankrupt, they seized the houses off the new owners to pay the builders debts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Post Brexit, buying in Spain etc is a thing of the past isn’t it? How long can we spend over there in one hit - 3 months? 6 months? In a couple of years i think i’ll just rent a gaff for 3 months over there over in the winter, get the worst of our shite weather out of the way, then come back around Easter. No property to sell, & probably choose a different venue the year after. Win win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted December 1, 2021 Members Share Posted December 1, 2021 6 months for me if I want to avoid becoming liable for Spanish taxation. The timetable is set, just need the travel situation to normalise (or close to normalise) and we'll be offski. Have to be in Europe in May anyway (Covid permitting).

I can never understand why people buy a place abroad and either visit the same place all the time, or don’t, so spunking money up the wall.

I stayed in Lindos a few years ago, and got speaking to a couple who were retired, but pretty much did as you say, and kept their property in the UK, but moved around Europe renting places for 3~6 months at a time. They reckoned committing to such long rental periods, especially if half of it was out of season, really kept the prices down for them, and they found it very cost effective. They used to own a place in Spain, but said after going several times a year for about 10 years, they just got bored of it, and now liked the option of being able to explore different places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the long term rental and it’s something I will consider if I sell up, but it’s never your home, we go often and just travel light as we have all our gear there, clothes, golf clubs Bike etc, soon as you get there you relax. Also if you buy right it’s an investment, before we bought we were spending 3k on a 2 week break 3/4 times a year that’s more than I pay for mortgage and other charges for 12 months.
