Hello - new to the forum and looking for advice in buying a holiday home :)
Hello, great to find this forum and hoping I can get some advice on buying a holiday home in Spain.
We've been looking at doing this for a few years and have been deliberating between coming permanently or buying a holiday home and I think we have decided to buy a holiday home in the next 2 years. We are in our 40s so we still have to work unfortunately :( so expect we will get out around 6 times a year and then family could come over a few times too. Then we expect to retire in around 10 years and we can then come for much longer periods or even full time. We wouldn't want to let it out so it would be empty quite a lot in the first 10 years.
My main concerns would be leaving a holiday home for long periods and I would appreciate any advice from anyone who already does this. We do want a pool but I don't know if this would cause any issues.
We have looked at a few urbanisations and have visited Camposol but we weren't that keen on the location. We haven't been to La Marina yet but are visiting Moraira next year so will be able to come and visit then.
My main questions would be if anyone can help please:
How easy is it to get the beach - can you walk/cycle/is there a bus and how long does this take from the urbanisation
How easy/safe is it to have a lock up and leave with a pool (or without a pool) if we can only come over 6 times a year
Is there a bus from the airport to the urbanisation (we can drive so could buy or hire a car if that's easier)
Anything else that might be useful.
Thank you in advance
