comments please
Looking for a response to our plans / ideas!
Both of us are British nationals. We live in Ayr on the west coast of Scotland with weird elderly neighbours next door. My wife and I also own a rental property in Normandy, France (Large town house split into three flats) Makes a profit but hard work and mega hassle and regular maintenance needed We both would like to live in Spain, (better weather, pleasant walks, cheaper booze, and good value eating out). , Both of us are attracted to Oliva, Denia, Javea and Jalon Valley We plan on renting (500 euros per month) for a few months to narrow down location What are the pitfalls? Feel free to comment, positive or negative! Leo n Jenny |
Re: cooments please
Timing?
Obviously you have left it extremely late to qualifiy for residence in Spain before the end of Brexit transition on 31/12/20, and from 1/1/21 you will have the additional complication of qualify for and applying for a visa to allow you to live in Spain, qualifying as appropriate to work or retire in the country. |
Re: comments please
I do not see the relevance of "weird elderly neighbours" Can you elucidate ?

Re: comments please
As always it just depends what you are doing now and are you retired or would you need work? I suppose the pitfalls are the same eveywhere and if you are buying after renting, make sure it's legal. Sunshine is one thing but even in Spain it gets dark at night and people can feel lonely, so location is key. The weird neighbours could be anywhere, language barriers, further inland it's the pig farm, barking dogs and Pulaski mentioned Brexit.

Re: comments please
Thanks for comments so far.
We are both retired and most likely buy an old town house with roof terrace. And, are comfortable with undertaking a reasonable amount of renovation etc. We will still retain our UK house. Thank you for looking, Leo |

Re: comments please
Correct, but if you are resident before Jan 1, but not yet getting a state pension, as I understand it,you will still be able to apply for an S1 with heathcare when you do reach retirment age.

Given that you will have 6 months to got through the process for acquiring TIE's. |

It's not necessary to 'gain residency' before Dec 31st, only to be living in Spain and able to prove it. .....

From what I have heard, the S1 healthcare coverage system (UK government pays for basic healthcare coverage) is ending with the end of the Brexit transition, which would make health insurance considerably more expensive if you are retiring in the European Onion. Hopefully someone will be along to confirm what will happen from 2021 onwards.
