Migrate from UK to Spain

[orlando]

Hello I have just found this site!
My self and my husband are thinking about relocating to France or Spain, we are retired and have enough funds to live comfortably even more comfortably in France or Spain, we are looking for a good all year climate prefer to be near to the coast line, would like a property with a garden and possibly some land. I have researched France and am now starting to research Spain. All views and comments appreciated.
Thanks
Orlando

Depends what sort of life you want to lead, the weather here is great and the people are lovely, we live inland about twenty five minutes from the coast and have the best of both worlds, we have a nice size plot with fruit trees and a pool, which would be a good 100,000+ if it was on the coast, and also it isn't so Spanish on the coast. Although we are far from retirement,. Living inland I think is more relaxing.
there are plenty of expat associations, whist drives,bowls,quizzes and barbecues, as I said depends what you want, if you want a warmer England in Spain then the coast is for you, if you want to get into the slower Spanish way of living , have a look inland, and I?m sorry I?m biased but I just don't get the French!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Dante

Hello Orlando,

Spain is a fun and relaxing country to live with its lavish coasts and amenities perfect for retirees like you. Tenerife is one Spanish island with relaxing sandy beaches and unchanging warm weather all year round. You can know more about it by looking a Tenerife travel guide or if you are interested to obtain a Tenerife property, you can inquire online. I have look at its properties online and they are great. But, I was definitely captivated by its lovely beaches.

I am also thinking of moving to Spain. I am a Brit, 40ish and I work as an artist in Dubai at the moment. I would like to live somewhere by the sea where there would be a good market for me to sell paintings so I guess somewhere there are a lot of new apartments going up or something. I don't speak Spanish so maybe an expat area, I play golf, am not particularly into clubbing but like to have the odd glass of wine! Any suggestions on an area? I think I am a bit worried about buying with all the bad news so maybe renting would be better...

No problems about buying in Spain now provided you get good buying and legal advice

A good time as there are lots of ready now at reduced asking prices and of course re sales

Note veryone has to sell but those that do have to accept the current market...but not as bad as Dubai

Costa Blanca South could be a good area and there are markets somewhere everyday
Also lots of golf and cheaper than Costa Del Sol
Almeria between Aguilas and Mojacar is worth a look and the area has been popular with artist for a long time
You do not state your budget but whilst you can get really cheap properties circa 50,000 €, unless it is an inland village property, in the coastal areas if you want something well built in a good location then circa 75.000 € is a good starting budget.....up to where you want to go to!

Thanks rowlandsbb that is great, I will have a look at those areas. I should have a budget of around 90k so that would hopefully fit.
