If there is an outside wall or some access to the exterior, it should not cost a huge amount to have an extractor fan and ducting installed, which can usually be hidden/boxed in if there is a couple of metres of it. It would also be advisable to keep the window open a little.

Yes we ll do it sweetheart.   Its sigh ashame the spanish builders contractors did that :(

I'm in la mata. I'd like to buy ikea furniture.  How to sort it out guys?

You go to IKEA in Murcia (probably the nearest store), you decide what furniture, goods etc you like, and then you buy it - majority will be in flat pack form. Depending on size of goods, you may need a car or a van that can carry plenty of heavy flat packed boxes.

You then take it home, unpack, and assemble it yourself, or seek assistance from others.

Hey thank u xx  I totally agree  I just don't have a car there  as its my holiday home 😉

Then you have IKEA deliver it, for which they will levy a charge.

I think you need to start thinking for yourself here, are you looking for somebody to go to Ikea with you and bring the goods back to your home?

I spent a vast amount of my time at IKEA Murcia in 2017/18. A lot of stuff we picked up and brought home in a hire car. We also ordered a lot of larger items (beds, sofas,, BESTA units, tables etc) which we had delivered at reasonable price. Delivery was a bit of a lottery as they subcontract the service. On some occasions the guys were happy to bring everything to the 9th floor in the lift. On other occasions they moaned and were miserable until they realised they could take the arms off the sofa and bring it up in the lift.

Thank you so much guys xxx

We did a coach trip with David’s coaches and returned with a small Billy bookcase and a single mattress ( we took sack trucks with us.

When we wanted a couple of sofas we contacted Paul Horton, property manager, the man with the van, and he collected the stuff from Murcia and delivered to our home, much more economically than Ikea.  If we’d wanted, he would have assembled it too.  Paul advertises further down this page.
