Where to rent in Villamartin area

Thanks Pete

That  will help for month we are there looking for long term rental - Any ideas best place to look for long term ?

Thanks

thank you

Hi Trish

I purchased an apartment in Villamartin approximately 18months ago and basically loved the area so much have sold the apartment and am in the process of selling my UK home to move out permanently to the area

I spent every trip to Spain over the last 18 months driving to different areas to find the perfect location - still not sure where that is though?

You really do need a car in the area to fully research so I agree with one of your replies about transport

I have not decided on the exact location for my forever home in Spain yet and whilst I am deciding I intend to capitalise on the Estate Agent deals - I am visiting Spain again later this month spending 3 nights in a hotel to look at specific areas and properties Cost me £60 for flights - Agents pay the rest - The cost of Agents fees is really high in Spain buying and selling so I figure whilst I am looking I will make the most of the Viewing Trips on offer

I will repeat the process again after Christmas with another agent until I find what I am looking for

My plan when I sell my UK property is to move to Spain and rent if I have not secured my perfect Spanish property

I will be purchasing a left hand drive car from the UK and driving over - Spanish cars are really expensive but you do need a car to look at your leisure and car rental long term can be expensive

I guess what I am saying is that having a car can help with the search and reduce your rental time

That's my theory anyway

Good luck !

Hi Trish

My partner and I moved out to Spain in may this year. I did a lot of research before we moved. We live in Los Altos just near Playa flamanca. try Elite Services estate agents they have long term rental and are great

thankyou so much for your reply .we will look into that estate agents and see what they have available .

I looked all around the orhuiella Costa and settled on Villa Martin ( although I really like parts of all the areas ) I bought in Pau 8 which is over the canal and about 8- 10 mins walk to the Plaza.. I am due to move out next year and just can't wait. My advice would be look at the wording on the description carefully... It is only walking distance to things if it says exactly that!! Close to or near to are not the same. This was important to me as although we will get a car, I will want to be able to walk to local cafes, bars etc ... Good luck xx

hi thankyou for your comments, I totally agree with you I too want to be able to walk to a lot of places .

we are bringing our car for the first couple of months so we can have a good look around and hopefully find what we are looking for x
