Hi , we are hoping to move over permanently to the Costa Blanca region in a couple of years time and are trying to calculate our finances  and budgets.  Therefore it would be great and much appreciated if anyone could  give us some figures or pointers as to how much it would cost.  

Thanks.

Hi PraKash21 and welcome to the forum!

There have been recent posts on the same subject.  Much depends on what - and where - you are planning to move to.  This thread will give you a good start:

If you can add more detail to what you're hoping to do, I'm sure we can give you more accurate information.

Kind regards,

Kim

Hi Kim , Thanks for your reply ,we are hoping to retire in 2023 and move out to the Villamartin  or Torevieca areas. My wife and i are looking to buy a min. 2 bedroom villa or bungalow or possible town house with at least one bedroom on the ground floor . We are both non smokers and are just social drinkers nothing too heavy . We don't have any specific hobbies but we like to get out and about exploring, walking , dining out,  swimming and then generally relaxing. So based on that we were wondering how much the cost of living would be on a weekly or  monthly bases  to give us some idea of costings . IE food, utilities  bills ,council charges, healthcare charges, and anything else iv missed . As we are taking early retirement we are going to be managing financially only on our private  pensions,  hence the reason for working out the budget. Any further help would very much appreciated and welcomed. 

kind regards Prakash & Sam

Hi Prakash,

I won't repeat all the detail that I posted in the link to the other thread I gave you, save to say that I think you could live happily on €1,200 per month and very comfortably on €1,500 per month, which would include your private health insurance, or Convenio Especial, should you decide to switch to that after your first year of residency.

Kind regards,

Kim
