Hi Irene - you could try other estate agents in the area, as there are very few exclusive contracts these days.  Most properties will be available through several agents, so you may not have to deal with an agent you don't trust.

Worth a try anyway!

Hi Dean - I am no mortgage expert and I'm sure Smiley will tell me if I am wrong, but I believe that there is always an early redemption penalty , if you want to pay off your mortgage here.  Mine is 1%, so they would want an extra 2,000€ from you, not offer you a discount!!

Always worth a try though! - and let us know if it works!

Hi - the name of the Administrator should be on the minutes of all the AGMs which you should receive every year.  Failing that, as bobal said, ask the President of the community.

Good luck with your sale!

Hi and welcome to the forum.  I hope you find it as useful as I did when I was first dreaming of a life in the sun!

I don´t know the area you are talking about, but hopefully someone on the forum will and they can give you some local info.  The point I wanted to make was that you should check out your access to healthcare if you both have pre-existing medical conditions.  Each region in Spain has different rules about healthcare and here in Valencia you can choose to pay into the state system, which can work out significantly cheaper than private cover.  I have clients moving to this area who have worked out that the husband will pay into the state system, as he has existing health problems, and the wife will go private, as she has not.

You will also get access to the Spanish health system if you are self-employed but this costs around 275€ per month minimum, so again you should check this out.

Some things in Spain are significantly dearer than the UK, eg cars, phones and internet services.  Food tends to be cheaper and wine is certainly cheaper! 

All the best with your plans and do let us all know how you get on.

You´re welcome Joanne.  Just for clarity - you need to head a few kilometres north on the AP7 to get to Dos Mares - direction Torrevieja / Alicante.
