Re: place in the sun
I am in Rainham so not too far from you here but will be a long way in Spain. We thought about Herne and that area when we moved down here - had some good days out in Herne Bay but can't really plan a trip to the seaside in this country cos of the weather - just have to get up and go if it looks like a reasonable day.
My son likes the sea anytime and we've spent a few day trips in coats etc. while he attempts paddling in the sea!
Can't wait to get to Spain but I'm sure we will have a few wobbles also in a couple of months.

Hi that's where I live (well did until friday) I've just moved up the road, I love it around here.
I lived in Malaga for six years on the coast and inland whearabouts are you moving to? Also I know quite a few ppl whose kids have gone to international schools out there. I used to live very near "sunland" school in Cartama.

We are going out on the 26th for a few days to visit the school and look around a few areas so I don't know where we will live yet. Maybe in the city but fairly close by if not.

Re: place in the sun
I used to always go shopping in Malaga city it was about 20 minutes drive from where we lived and I loved the atmosphere in Malaga a lot more than the tourist havens of Torremolinos and Fuengirola.
I didn't know there was an international school in Malaga city, but my daughter went to a Spanish school when we lived there.
I noticed on the other thread that the sale of your house isnt going as planned. Would you consider renting it out for now and renting over there till you find your feet?

Re: place in the sun
We are going to rent over there but we need to sell the house to clear debts etc. as I won't be able to afford to keep paying them on my Spanish salary. However, we could manage for a few months but don't really want to. Hopefully things will come together eventually. Don't think we would have a problem selling if we were just sent viewers!

Re: place in the sun
I've sent you the name of the agent by PM as I don't want to name and shame on an open forum.
Yes houses seem to be selling quick - with other agents - I've been checking Rightmove every week to see who is selling. There are also not many houses like ours for sale so we thought it wouldn't be a problem getting viewers.
Unfrotunately although our house is worth more than we paid 3 years ago it has gone up that much.

I'm suprised, it would be a good idea to have a few agents it might make them try a bit harder when they have a bit of competition.
Good luck with it anyway and with the move. Its funny though you moving from Rainham to Malaga and me moving from malaga to Rainham we should swap lol. Have you a place lined up there yet? as it may be difficult in August with it being high season to find a place to rent.
