Hi All

My wife and I are looking to purchase a holiday home, initially it would be for a place to retreat to but with a longer term plan to move permanently.

We are organising a trip to Sotogrande and surrounding area to look at various properties, trip dates are from 20-23rd Feb 2022

My question is would any body be willing/able to spend a little time with us to gain a little more understanding of the purchasing process, health care and legal aspects of buying a property

Thanks in advance 

Andy & Vicki

With the 90 days out of 180 Schengen Area restriction property sales have dropped a lot to Brits, however, for those who buy a property 500,000 you get a Golden Visa and can come and go as you please.

Hi Andy &Vicki

Can't help thinking those are exactly the sorts of questions you should be putting to a really good agent who is used to selling houses to buyers from Britain.

Obviously you'll be speaking to agents during the 4 days you'll be in Sotogrande looking at various properties - great time to ask them anything you like ?

If only there for 4 days I would advise have a good look, take in what information they can, do some research when return, & perhaps go back a second time for longer. Don't buy with 'the sun in their eyes' look at all the complications, remember a surplus of property and most is overpriced plus you need to add 10% to the offer price. (Agents don't tell you the negatives).
