Whereabouts are you ? I will be in spain for approx 3 months from mid July and would love to help with dogs. I'm 65 and currently foster for labrador rescue where i live in Australia. But I've also done voluntary work at the local rescue kennels clearing out poo putting in clean bedding sorting the dirty stuff in the laundry dishing up food walking dogs and playing with them. I'll be in monte zenia near Torrievieja. 😊

Well thank you very much for that help. Thats really lovely. I will look up the gestor thing I've only heard about this from you. It may have to be something i sort out in july. I'v emailed my solicitor to ask for the last 2 copies of my electric bill to check out the useage snd got a reply today to ask me to send them a copy bill so they can ask Iberdrola for the copy bills. Omg. Dont believe it. Wonder where my bills actually go??? Well I'd better try to get them myself from Iberdrola.  When i bought the house my agent said the prices were rising steadily but i have found his advice very suspect like you said i shouldn't be trusting anyone. Shame. As he said it was a good price for La Zenia it must'v  been not such s good price for monte zenia. I spent quite s bit modernising it under his control oh no so it may be over capitalized now which presens more problems for reselling. But as i said your help is great and thanks again for that. Will keep plodding on. Happy new year😊

Hi Floella thanks for your reply. I dont think I'm cut out for this on line stuff.  My very 1st experience of it on here has been a bit harrowing. From my post at the beginning of this whole conversation i didn't realize it would put me so in the line of fire. Sad really. And difficult to understand when you're just an ordinary upfront lady. I didnt quite follow you when you commented on the put up or shut up bit. I come from melton mowbray leics and its very common there. I hope no one has offended you with it ??? Its what my Dad would've said to me. Bless his socks. Think this will be my 1st and last conversation on here. Its weird having to explain yourself to strangers. so take great care of yourself eh.

To others posts. Thanks for your advice especially regarding electric bills and so on. To be clear my house was built in the 80s in a spanish area not holidayish at sll. I hoped to be close to the beach but also in a more spanish area. My agent took me to this place said it wss La Zenia a good area where i could walk to the beach. It was only after we'd been to the solicitor that i saw monte zenia on the paperwork. This didnt really click as being such a problem thinking it might just be a bit of a different name or the next door suburb. No idea really and not very tech savvy checking things out on my phone. My mistakes. All the other places he showed me had heaps of steps no good at all. My mistake also only allowing myself 2 werks but it had to suit my ozzy rules on being out of the country. Anyway i can either put up or shut up or try to sell up when i get therr in july. Any helpful advice on the way house prices have gone since feb 2016 ? Current demand ??? Problems selling in spain then buying again when not a resident ??? Rental demand in the Torrevieja area currently ??  Thinking i would feel much happier now down Sotogrande way. And to add that i am totally genuine and just trying to make the rest of my life comfortable. Hopeing for advice of any sort just not asking to be judged. And again Happy New Year.
