We have been looking to buy a townhouse , with a view to retiring there in about 3 years time , I’ve recently acquired an Irish passport, which I believe will help?Please correct if I’m wrong , but yearly council tax seems very low , but I have been told each town has its own judicial system, & can bill you for street repairs , etc ?? Bins/waste I believe is billed separately ?
Just trying to get a better understanding, of how things work in Andalucía 🤔.
Many thanks R

Hola,

I have lived here for about 4 years and the council tax and other bills are generally much lower than the UK. I have never heard of paying for other things. Its very nice in this area and a lovely place to retire.

Hi Richard,

If you live in the country side with undeveloped land near you and the utilities are improved for development, you could be charged one day.

I think the only way to be sure you know what your paying for is to buy a property in an already developed area.
