Making the dream a reality. Buy Property in Spain.

We all know the American Dream but what about the Spanish dream?  The American one gave all hope with its ideals of equality and freedom. Well, I know that I am moving closer to fulfilling my Spanish dream. This dream means my personal freedom and happiness rather than a grey and colourless one.

Dreams can become a reality. But sometimes, as the cliché goes, you have to take a plunge. A life without risk maybe safe but it would be incredibly dull!  Therefore, I am going to live in a place which values sleep, doesn’t work to a perpetual schedule and is bathed in sunshine. In fact, I am going to be nourished by tiny plates of food and celebrate rarely paying over 2.50€ for a glass of red (and often much less).

The dream plan:

Firstly, I have decided my exit date. Funnily enough Brexit has helped to guide my diary. As the politicians seem incapable of giving any firm ideas as to the rules post Brexit, seems safer to go before. However, I suspect that even after Brexit, Spain and UK will work something out. Well, I really hope so!
Now I have my date, this dream plan just got serious.

A date with Spain

Like with any date I’ve ever been on, especially when I’m excited or interested, I get myself date ready. On my list of pre date preparations are:

• Where to live. Location and property.
• What to live on? Jobs as well as tapas.
• What to bring, what to sell, what to throw away.
• How to deal with Spanish paperwork and stay sane

In fact, do not get bogged down with lists.  Simply, focus on just going there.  Remember the ultimate goal is a relaxing life in Spain.

Sough After Areas in Spain.

Making an investment in Spain is a very appealing option for many investors looking for investment opportunities in Europe. Real estate is currently the most fashionable investment asset:

– The Balearic Islands, Spain. The Balearic Islands: Menorca, Mallorca and Ibiza; are amongst the most popular holiday destinations in the whole of Europe and their excellent climate, beaches and natural beauty attracts visitors and investors form around the world.

– Costa del Sol, Spain. Costa del Sol is a region on Spain’s southern coast, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, is made up of the coastal towns and communities along the Mediterranean coastline of the Málaga province and it’s one of the most popular travel destinations in all Europe.

– Madrid and Barcelona.

Embrace others…twice…on the cheek

Spain is a very passionate place. People are friendly, and knowledgeable. The best advice I have had is from people who have already followed their dream to Spain. Such as rent first before committing to anywhere. Sometimes, you will visit a government office.  Remember to take snacks and every form of paperwork you have ever owned. It will not be enough. Luckily, I already possess a NIE from my last time there.

The British way is steely stoicism with no direct eye contact. Thankfully, this is not the Spanish way. Kiss twice to almost everyone you meet. This can cause moments of discomfort for the average Brit but it has to be done.

Remember, if you get olive oil on a dress in a bar, several Spanish grandmas will physically manhandle you and argue the method of treatment. Phone numbers are offered liberally with honest and open offers of assistance. Stranger danger is there, of course.  Spain is a real place, not a dream. However, there is a sense of openness in Spain that’s certainly not British. So get your lips puckered and embrace a Spanish life.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Dreams need determination, graft and action to become reality. Or they stay as dreams. I’m lucky. Furthermore, I’ve made great friends during my explorations.

Finally, this dream can not work unless I do. And work I will.  This type of work is no chore.  Ultimately, I want to live out the last 25% of my life in a place where everyone, regardless of age, can dance in the streets. Simply, I want to wake up to blue skies and sunshine. Spain is my dream and my reality.

Costa del Sol Property.

Buying a property on the Costas del sol will always be a good investment as property in the Balearics remains highly rentable. With prices on an unstoppable upwards trajectory due to high demand and low supply, higher construction costs and a rather limited planning consent by the local authorities, it will be interesting to witness the evolution of our local luxury market in the next decade.So purchasing property on the Costa del Sol whether for investment purposes or personal use will guarantee you returns on your Marbella property.
