Rent or Buy!Living and Working in Spain

Denied a mortgage in the UK? Do as over 200,000 other Britons do each year: live abroad. Many move to Mediterranean Spain where none of the above negatives apply. Southern Comfit are re-location specialists. Imagine a carefree low cost lifestyle where you can enjoy Europe’s healthiest climate; where the sun shines warmly for about 220 days each year.

 

Who better to guide you? Southern Comfit's Dermot McLaughlin is residential journalist for five British-Spanish newspapers and magazines; a columnist read throughout the Costas. Enjoy a lovely idyll where shopping bills are lower and your income or pension goes much 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 85p a litre. No road tax and 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 £120 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.

As in the UK some jobs are more in demand than others; Building and allied trades independents are in demand, same for lifestyle (hair stylists, manicurists, body enhancement, home care) . The service section, health care and life enrichment pursuits are much sought after and there's self employment opportunities.


Engage a new lifestyle

By renting or purchasing through Southern Comfit you will be shown the ropes, introduced to neighbours, guided if looking for work or education. Within a week or so you will be as comfortable and confident in your new Costa del Sol/Blanca 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), your residente status and I.D card. We show you how to place your job prospectus in the local employment offices (INEM), and 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.
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. Would you need to learn Welsh if you chose to live in Wales? 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 up 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!

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY Visit homelettings on our home and financial pages. We recommend them for those wishing to rent whilst they discover if it is for them or not. When you do purchase and want others to pay your mortgage then register with homelettings. By remembering to use the Southern Comfit promotional code 45325 you get three months free advertising. With 1.5 million visitors every month this is a not to be missed opportunit.

STILL NOT CONVINCED?
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. Can you?
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 moey goes further too. Imagine having money left over at the end of the week even if you are on a state pension? 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, which is mostly dismantled anyway. It effects only 1/200 buyers silly enough to build 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.
