I would offer 92k as a start pitch, if the surveys came back sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive cars sized for normal people, and give yourself 30% more living space for the same price. Why have a built in garage suitable for housing both the Presidents and VP's cars should they choose to visit, and squash yourself into a tiny house as a consequence?

Day Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 If you think that’s small, ought to see mine!....that wasn’t an invite either ? Couldn’t lie down on the kitchen floor without half me body in the hallway, seen bigger kitchens in a caravan. Have half an eye on these myself, not much bigger than what we have now but they will do us. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/property-80026571.html https://www.rightmove.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/property-69115687.html Couple of months away probably from being in a position to start to putting offers in, probably both go by then.

Day Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 8 minutes ago, Boycie said: Can’t you reserve new builds? Possibly, but here’s the situation. Next are going through some kind of restructuring everyone’s contract thing. Whilst this takes place my missus promotion is temporary until June which she will have to apply again for it, although she’s pretty much been told it’s hers permanently but it’s a process she has to go through. Until it’s offically permanent we’re just going to get our current house valued, meet the mortgage advisor, see what we have to do as we’re on a 70/30 thing with the government. We looked into moving last year, went to a new housing estate and was told you could transfer it to a new property or something, so we’ve got a fair bit to look into over the next couple of months before we actually start travelling over to look at houses.

ramit Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 A few months ago i received part of my inheritance, a substantial amount, but nowhere near enough for a small apartment in the city. We have been looking instead for a property in the Costa Blanca area of Spain to vacation in and rent out at other times. Good friends of ours bought a house there and we stayed with them for a week a couple of months ago. We like the area, but the market there is like a jungle. Hard to get reliable info on properties. A few weeks from now i will be going over there again, but with a list of potential buys in hand. Excited, but nervous for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first requirement is the most difficult! If at all possible try to get recommendations but your are right it can be a jungle out there. Unfortunately, the phrase 'reputable lawyer in Spain' is an oxymoron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the phrase 'reputable lawyer in Spain' is an oxymoron We wouldn't go into this, if our friends had not purchased there. i must have driven them ten times back and forth from the airport while they were searching, working out all angles and then fixing up their new house. Their lawyer has recently accepted us as clients, so that is worked out. Don't know how reputable, but she did a good job for our friends and speaks English.
