Lot cheaper to live here in Benidorm than it was in the UK. Rent is half price, only electricity and internet to pay. No water bill, no tv licence, no gas bill, no (dreaded) rates bill, no buildings insurance to pay, no expensive maintenance costs. The public transport here is second to none so I...

... do not have or need a car so.....no car tax, insurance, mot, repair or maintenance costs and no petrol bills....

Eating out is around half price which often includes a bottle of wine. Beer half price. Bus price is €1.55 to anywhere in a 10 mile radius of Benidorm centre. Healthcare is second to none and much more efficient than the UK health service. 

Sunshine, beaches a healthy lifestyle......perfect.

Might be wrong,but can't see a uk restaurant giving the same value for that quality of food.

In the UK,we had a tiny terraced house,in a not so good area,and the community charge will be around £1.300 now per year,here the Suma, and urb fees 420€ per year,plus there's no filthy litter strewn streets.

Free parking everywhere you go too.

Just one last observation,in the uk,we didn't have bin men who looked film stars,we do here!!

...urbing and really frightening as its been revealed that burglars have been gassing properties with intentions of robbing unresponsive people in their beds. It literally made me feel sick.

Can anyone give me information about this subject please as we are supposed to be putting a deposit on a property next week. 

Other crime in the area doesn't concern me as much as this. After all crime is part of every day life everywhere.

Thank you in advance.
