I purchased a holiday home on the island of Menorca in 2011, after holidaying on the island for many years, we new pretty much what we were getting into with costs & taxes etc, the estate agent was excellent & sorted everything for us. We will be spending more time over there in the years to come, but will never live there full time, the lucky thing for us is we have a friend who looks after the property for us, which makes it much easier & less worrying for us, the only downside would be that when we purchased the exchange rate was 1.14, but as we are not planning to sell it makes no real difference. We are glad we bought in Menorca, not as an investment but as a life style choice,
