Rent or Buy! Living and Working in Spain

Difficult to get a mortgage in the UK? Do as over 200,000 other Britons do each year: choose to live abroad; use a euro mortgage. Many move to Mediterranean Spain. Imagine a carefree low cost lifestyle where you can enjoy Europe’s healthiest climate and where the sun shines warmly for about 320 days each year.

 

Enjoy a lovely idyll where shopping bills are lower and your income or pension goes further. Enjoy the company and lifestyle of others like yourselves. Where you don't even have to learn a foreign language.

You like a beer? It's 12p a can. A quality bottle of wine £1.50. Feel like going for a drive? Petrol is £1 a litre. Parking and transport a few pennies! 
The Costa Blanca, Almeria and Costa del Sol health service is second to none, the bins emptied every day; you don't need a licence to enjoy your favourite TV programmes. Live comfortably on £150 a week plus mortgage. A Spanish lifestyle where crime is much lower and anti-social behaviour virtually unheard of.

Working in Spain

Being a member of the EEC Britons enjoy the same work and education opportunities as do the Spanish. There are few formalities.

The recession has of course effected Spain but not nearly as badly as it has the United Kingdom. For those prepared to work there is opportunity. Virtually every small business here is run by an ex-pat building a new life for himself and his family.

A friend of mine says that when she divorced she faced a bleak future on a council estate as a single mum. She came to Spain; worked hard. She now runs a newspaper and owns a beautiful hotel / restaurant. People are like that. They don't leave it to chance. They make their own chances.  

Engage a new lifestyle

By purchasing through Southern Comfit you will be shown the ropes, introduced to neighbours. Within a week or so you will be as comfortable and confident in your new Costa lifestyle as any other resident.
Tens of thousands of Brits have already done so, even those without skills or knowledge of the Spanish language. When we ask them if they would ever return to the UK their expressions say it all.

LIFE ON THE COSTAS!   CAN IT REALLY BE THAT EASY?

We arrange everything for you, opening your bank account, suggesting a book-keeper (gestor), explain your residente status and I.D card. We offer guidance in placing adverts in local English-language newspapers and convenience stores, etc.
We show you the local shops, way of life, answer all your questions, offer medical, work or educational advice; motoring do and don'ts. We even partner holiday lettings.
This is the unique service you will receive only from Southern Comfit International.

SPANISH LANGUAGE
Tens of thousands of Britons live and work in British-Spain without knowing the language. It is not essential but if you do you will enhance your life. Classes are cheap and they are fun
Children love Spain and pick up the language in no time; education is free and superior to the UK’s system. Even the school transport is free. Imagine not having to worry about the children even if they are playing alone or with friends!

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR
Ask those who have already taken the plunge. In all the years I have been in the homes abroad business I cannot recall a single person saying it had been a bad move.
If you are retired or approaching retirement your pension is deposited straight into your bank account free of charge: You even get your UK heating allowance. Your money goes further too. To put it bluntly you cannot afford to continue living in England, the most expensive country in western Europe; which ranks a miserable 37th in quality of life.

LAND GRAB?
We sell only freehold unaffected by LRAU law, a law which is mostly dismantled anyway. It effects only one in 200 buyers who bought illegally (without planning permission) on rustica land. The same would happen in England.

LRAU does not apply to urbanisations. The media which depends on controversy to sell newspapers are irresponsible, especially if they deter buyers who would otherwise have lived life to the full in Spain. Remember, we have never had a client lose property. In all honesty we don't know any who have.  

Almost daily we receive released details of heavily discounted and distressed properties. A 90,000€ apartment reduced to 59,000€. A 180,000€ villa down to 125,500€. A frontline golf super apartment 170,000€ now offered at 115,500€
