Hi Lee, Wendy et al
Its about exciting as it is scary when you are choosing an area, uprooting the family and planning a new life in the sun.
There is a lot of excellent advice provided in the previous posts, please do not dismiss it as folk just trying to pee on your parade! If your reliance upon an income remains once you are living here then please do not make the mistake of thinking this is where the pot at the end of the rainbow is! You wouldn't be the first and you certainly won't be the last!
Negativity aside... Pinoso is a vast area and offers large town living as well as campo (countryside) properties and has a number of areas dotted about with a bit in between. There are obviously good condition existing homes (resales) as well as properties needing a lot of renovation (reforms). Finally, you have new builds.
I would suggest you write down your budget, your must-haves, your nice-to-haves and the things you definitely do not want or conditions you do not wish to have.
I would love a nice new build, 10,000 sqM of land, 5 bed,2 bath, with guest apartment, pool and all the latest buidling tech... for 100K ! You get my point?!
Then its about who do you trust?!
You can start online with websites like www.Kyero.com and www.ThinkSpain.com (to name a couple) and narrow down your search area. But you will still have many unanswered questions about the area etc (unless of course you are well versed in all things Pinoso?)
I cna then personally recommend Lydia at Carousel homes - http://carouselhomesspain.com/ she is a trusted agent in the area who can cover all the property types I mentioned earlier. There are other great agents in the area too, a search on the forum may help you with that, but I have only had personal knowledge of Lydia, enough to recommend her.
Do not be dismayed, but similarly, please do not be underprepared!
Best wishes for your adventure
Hope it helps
