Rental agents
I've been looking for for long term rental (studio or small bed flat) along the coast from Denia to Alicante for several months now and have been frustrated at encountering many inmobiliarias and rental agencies that won't accept anyone that doesn't have a Spanish pension or work contract in Spain. Along with my NIE number and Spanish bank account I also have a UK pension although I'm still of working age and am not looking to work initially in Spain. Some agencies don't worry about your employment stutus or income as long as you can show evidence that you can afford the rent and deposit. We all know there are many differences between the UK and Spain but I would be very interested to hear other peoples recent experiences and suggestions on this topic......
