I have finally taken the plunge and bought a house in Spain!!

I would like to say its a huge mansion overlooking Marbella but its not, its an hour and forty mins inland from Malaga airport in a town of 3-4000 people and i love it.

Congrat , I am still working on it.

In May , I will be there to buy mine.

Again Congrat.

Well done and enjoy it.

Pleased for you Chilly, I hope it brings you, family,friends years of happy times.

[Anonymous]

Yep, well done. I hope you’ll be very happy.

We are off looking (AGAIN!!) this afternoon. It seems like the market has finally fallen in Alicante in the last month or so. I think that it still has a way to go, but it is getting there, so I guess we will buy soon too. 🙂

good luck with it all. Hope all goes smoothly.

Thank you all for your kind words, there are some jobs to do but it all takes time and i think its part of the enjoyment.

Buena suerte 🙂 Will you live here all the time?

[Anonymous]

Maybe eventually but for the forseeable future it will be a holiday home.
i suppose i should change my profile now 😆

[Anonymous]

Thanks Frank, but I think I’ll be able to manage any central heating work that comes my way 😉

Good to hear that you found something acceptable.

Is the mortgage cheaper than renting a huge mansion overlooking Marbella?

[Anonymous]

Michael,
i proud to say that the property was cheap enough that i did nt need a mortgage 😆

and i got about 20% off the asking price 😆 😆

[Anonymous]

Congratulations Chilly! I wish you happy times there. 😀

[Anonymous]

Thanks Claire, feels like it was a long time coming

Very useful in those cold, freezing temperatures 😉 .

[Anonymous]

Mary, you don t just use boilers for heating 😆

[Anonymous]

Thats right, there’s certain people that can generate hot air all by themselves 😉 .

Hi Chilly
You Posted

“if i want your opinion, i’ll pull the flush”

Dont know how to take that 😀 If it a dig I can take it. 😯

Look after that ballcock anyway and enjoy your new place.

Frank, i don’t think PW have ever heard of Pruna 😉

[Anonymous]

Ah Pruna, I wondered where you had bought.
Pruna was all the rage with the Brits about 3 years ago because houses were so cheap. All the Spanish were selling their old houses to expat buyers and moving out to nice new houses on the edge of town on the proceeds! Lost count of the number of building surveys I did there.
There is one street (in a not particularly nice part of town IMHO) where nearly every other house is Brit-owned. Now many of the Brits in Pruna are trying to sell up, the Brit-run B&B’s failed and the asking prices there are now on a par with Olvera (which, again IMHO, is a much nicer place) so people are having trouble selling. Apart from to you!
p.s. Hope you had your house surveyed 😉

They probably got wind Chilly was thinking about buying 😉 .

[Anonymous]

Hilly, we looked at Olvera (even made an offer on a house there) but i’m glad we did nt buy there because the hills would have killed me.

we have bought in a very quiet part of town, even for Pruna. i understand there are about 40 Brits living there (owners, maybe not living there) out of 3-4000 inhabitants, thats probably a better ratio than some parts of the CDS.
anyway we like it, a lot

Next off its Majorca, seriously I going to set up camp there in about 15 years permently, so if anyone knows any good deals on a small property with lots of land, i’d be very interested.
