I certainly wouldn't move to Spain if you intend renting long-term , especially if you are thinking about moving to the Costas for instance in my location a very small 2 bed apartment in a not so desirable area will cost you a minimum of €850 pm, 3 years ago the same apartment was €450 pm ,when you compare like for like in the supermarkets you will find that the Spanish supermarkets are either the same or more expensive that the UK, i have own a villa for 22 years infact I am on my 3rd property, although the ibi that is the same as council tax is around 50% cheaper by the time you factor in the rubbish 🗑 tax that you pay separately for you are basically back up to what you would be paying in Council Tax in the UK, water , Electricity ,and gas meter rental is basically the same as the UK ,the gas ,electricity and water that you consume is around 10% cheaper, petrol is the same price or more expensive than the UK diesel ⛽️ is around 15% cheaper in Spain ... cigarette and none branded alcohol 🍸 is cheaper, eating out in Spain tends to be cheaper depending what restaurant you go to , new cars are basically the same price second hand cars are extremely expensive and tend to have very high mileage/ kilometres on the clock.. to give you a idea a £500 UK banger would cost you £2,500 in Spain 🇪🇸.

I take it you have asked the estate agents for feedback, on why the prospective buyers won't put a offer in,its obviously not the price as you are getting viewings, so something is obviously putting them off.

You have two options  and that's to raise the matter with you community chairman,  if that doesn't work out then sell up and move on.
