Algorfa

Good Afternoon Everyone,

My wife and I have been saving to buy a property in the Costa Blanca for sometime and look to have the available funds as of 1st Feb 2020. We are looking for a semi or detached property in an area where we can fairly easily reach the airport from buy means other than a private car as we won’t buy one till the year after the house.  We don’t know the Costa Blanca, however as a disabled military person I need the heat whenever I can and it’s been rubbish in Scotland over the winters.  We are looking for some district or town that has some sort of bars and the occasional restaurant within a walk. Algorfa? Lo Crispin?  When would you advise me to start my property search in earnest on the ground so to speak, as I don’t want to waste peoples time placing offers early. I don’t want a new build and any advice on agents would be welcome 

What’s the process for offers and what do I need when? (My wife is a experienced property lawyer back home, however no clue what to expect in Spain)  

Public transport is very limited outside the big towns ,la Mata could be good as guadamar as both have bus to airport.make sure you are aware of income tax rules as tax is more expensive in spain but there is a taxation agreement in place at the moment.also check because some civil services pension are different.Most importantly do not trust estate agents most will turn you over.

Hi, we are planning to move to Algorfa . Can you be more specific re estate agents, what is it we need to watch? Are there any no go areas in Algorfa? Is it a safe place to live? Thanks

AlgorfA is fine Lived there got 6 years theire ate cheap property there but try and avoid lo Crispin as its a bit out the way ,montimar a bit down market but noisy in summer, la finca they still plan building house and full of drunken brits in summer

Algorfa is fine, it's very safe but having a car is a must. There is a limited bus service to Torrevieja that only runs Monday to Friday.

Hi get in touch withTracey and Rob at Orange Casas, they are based in Algorfa, they are so helpful and will only show you what you are looking for, just read there reviews, couldn’t recommend highly enough 👍

Hi, Algorfa is a nice village but you do need a car. My brother has an apartment in Rojales where you can get a bus to Guardamar and it is also near to Formentera de Segura and Benijor so more choice of restaurants etc. Have a good look round both areas before you decide. 

We recently bought in algorfa with casa Manuel fantastic service 

We used Habatina in the village - Matey is lovely lady and 3 members of our family have bought from her.
