Hi just wondering if there are many upholstery jobs and care assistant job opportunities in torrejeva please x - Page 2

In a perfect world what you say makes sense Granny Rose, but all too often in mainland GB now, tenants fall into rent arrears and trash the property.  If you’re in Spain you have the added expense of hiring a property manager ( and I’m afraid they are not all reliable) so the UK property becomes a millstone and you still have to find the inflated sums now necessary as a third country national to become resident in Spain 

We’re biased, we sold up in the UK fifteen years ago and are now happily spending our children’s inheritance lol - in actual fact we live very nicely on just our state pensions 

I think we’ve digressed slightly from the original question regarding upholstery and caring jobs, but hopefully we’ve given Dawn and her husband some food for thought.

Maybe we’ll see you over here again before too long Rose

I fully agree with you that keeping a property on in the UK, while living permanently in Spain, can be a millstone and a worrisome burden especially in these times of non travel etc. I wouldn't want the trouble of maintaining a property in the UK especially if the tenants were not paying their rents (squatters) as often happens here in Spain.

Also seek tax advice as if you retain your uk property and then decide to sell after taking up spainish residency. The gain is taxable by the spainish tax regardless to it being your former home. Which could motivate you to sell uk property first.

Also now that we are non EU you will need to apply for residency before coming to Spain. All the information is on the British and Spanish government websites, so please read up on it as you will need more money now to start a life in Spain
