What tardiness

Apologies for the lack of effort on my part in updating the blog this last two weeks buy to say that I have been occupied with the 'mother' of all resales which completed last Friday would be an understatement. Regardless here we are starting over once again.
Moving on I note that the BBC ws showing another documentary - Real Story: Pain in Spain. The familiar problem of people buying (being sold) property which did not have all the correct licenses in place. Read more on the BBC website here.
I can't really stress how important it is to use a reputable agent (you know where we are!!!!) that can help you along the way.
Anyway thats all for now.

September is Spain's best kept secret

Image
September is one of the best times to truly experience Spain. The rhythm of summer slows down, beaches are calmer, temperatures are mild and cities regain their authentic charm.....and parking your car should also be easier, not to mention last minute dinner reservations. It is defenitely my favourite month of the year. It’s also the moment when the real estate market reactivates after the summer break. Many new opportunities appear in coastal areas and cities as locals return from holidays and the autumn season begins. For international buyers, this is often the right time to explore fresh listings and discover unique properties. Take this moment to explore, get inspired, and imagine what your everyday life could look like under the September Spanish sun.
