01 Aug 2011 23:10:Surely then Bigwilly, this is the time to take the plunge ?
With the state of the housing market and the availability of cheap housing coupled with the very poor exchange rate, my thinking tells me that......
If I can afford to buy a small holiday home (not thinking of emigrating just quite yet - but have a five year plan in the offing) with no need for a mortgage, not even considering anything other than resale, using a reputable and recommended lawyer and If I can afford to live in Spain for extended periods on a UK pension at the current exchange rates........
Then when the world rights itself in the next 5 years or so, and the exchange rate returns to a more realistic rate, or the Euro crumbles and the Peseta devalues, then the current buyer should be sitting in a pretty position ?
Ohh and meant to mention - I drink coffee and prefer Spanish beers to pond water - sorry - English bitter !
Kindest regards
