Hola,

we are thinking hard about selling up in the UK and making the permanent move to Spain. This would be early next year as long as a state of near normality has returned. .The area we are looking at is Denia. Probably rent for 6 months while we look around the area and identify the area we'd l...

...ike to settle I've never been there but have had a couple of holidays in Javea and loved that area. We have friends who were in the process of buying in Denia before COVID came along and put everything on hold. They love the area. Most of what I've read and heard about My partner was mentioning this to a friend who has a place in the southern Costa Blanca and she told her that Denia was 'very British'. Is this the case?  Look forward to any guidance / insight that can be given.

Gracias

Not prying but I presume you will be able to meet the financial requirements after Dec 31st. which for a couple will total around €38,000 per annum for each of the the 5 years it will take to acquire permanent residency?

Denia certainly is a beautiful town. I wouldn't call it very British other than it gets a lot of British tourists.  I live in Benidorm and have visited Denia several times albeit for short periods. It is a thriving and extremely busy town during the summer months and during the holiday perio...

...d but calms down considerably during winter. The harbour area is nice to look around as a visitor along with all the restaurants. I expect you will receive loads of positive feedback from anyone who lives there but on a personal note it's not a town that I would like to live full time.

Give it a good shot as Spain is a beautiful place to live with the lifestyle etc. Consider all the legalities of living in Spain full time for after 1st January 2021 including the financial requirements necessary to gain residency. 

I urge you to look at Jim's Guides that can be found in the drop down menu on the left side of this page or the tab at the top of the page. You will find everything you need to know about living here legally in Spain.

Thanks Steve.

I have to admit I wasn't aware of the financial commitment, I believe 38000 Euros per annum, that will be in place when the UK leaves the EU.

That will definitely put a dent in our plans.

Are there other areas in the Northern Costa Blanca that you'd recommend?

It is the default position as it stands. My personal opinion is that agreements will be reached but it really is a case of wait and see with all things crossed.

My partner and I have recently moved to Moraira having spent several years renting in different parts of Spain. We chose Moraira because it is particularly beautiful and it has been relatively easy to integrate into the community. 

Denia and Javea are also great but we have definitely settled in the right spot.
