We are not paying that, or anything as we took the house insurance out with them. The competition wasn't very different.

Talk to the bank. Sabadel in Pinoso are great. Nuria is multi-lingual and everything is printed in both languages. Useful.

Thankyou Davenjules.😃 you hear these nightmare stories of scam estate agents too

No problem. Pinoso is just 10 minutes up the road from us, so not much different in terms of travel time to Alicante.

It is nice, a bit flatter in general terms and more UK ex-pats. There are good bars and we bank there at Sabadel who are multi-lingual, as is our currency exchange company across the square as currencies4you. Nice people. Also helped with our car import....

You would be pretty close to most things. Yecla, Elde, Monovar, Sax etc

Not advertising but talk to Paula, Gary, Mike and James at Alicante Dream Homes...they will show you around stress free and you will understand the area better, plus prices. They are not pushy. I like them.

I know this is an old post but that's a really useful tip about the insurance and bank charges, we need house insurance and our bank charges are very high, we also bank with Sabadell in Pinoso so I'll call in this week.
