Property purchase - Page 2

Spain is open for some countries, there are buyers from mainland Europe travelling to buy now. I personally would never recommend buying without seeing a property for yourself.

... matter.

Look online and start to research areas. Decide on styles you like, but remember that you can often adapt a property to your taste but you can't change where it  is located. So, location first - decide what will matter to you in terms of what is around. Think long-term too, ie what will you need in 10 years time, not just now, what if you have to stop driving, health care, other amenities. 

Set your budget and be realistic about the price of property in your preferred location. Allow enough for the purchase costs and taxes. 

When you can travel there will be similar properties to view - new properties will replace the sold ones.

Finding your property should be an enjoyable process, don't let over zealous salesman spoil that enjoyment!

Hi, our bank is aware that we are living inSpain, we just gave them the Spanish address before we left. We are AIB.  There should not be a problem. Curracloe is beautiful . At one time we had a holiday home near Ramsgrange, Wexford. What part of Spain are you thinking of moving to ? 😎😎...
