Hello,
I have just retired and I am currently looking at properties in the Alfaz Del Pi area near to Benidorm.
I would appreciate some guidance on purchasing a property in Spain, the pitfalls and the best estate agents in that area. I have been dealing with Wunch Immo at Alicante who provide good video tours of properties.

I can't help with property purchases etc as I rent but I retired to Benidorm about 5 years ago and if there is any specific questions I can help you with please ask.

Buying a property is easy, thousands of empty homes which make it a buyers market...come to selling it is a different matter. Why not rent for a year, renting is cheap compared to the UK.

Don't be discouraged James,I came to Spain 30 plus years ago.Always had a property in the Alfaz area.During the last 5 years I have bought & sold 4 properties .Just now am selling a property south costa blanca.And I am not a property speculator but since I retired from my business in Spain some 12 years ago,I have been investing my savings in housing & now just want to sit back instead.

Don't be in a rush. Take short term lease in a few locations. A great location for a two week holiday, may not be so appealing for a permanent home.
There are certainly some nice properties in Alfaz Del Pi on that website. What is your budget?
There is no substitute for boots on the ground, go look see and I make no apology for repeating myself don't be in a rush.

Thank you, dealing with an estate agent based in Alicante that has quite a few properties in the Alfaz Del Pi area. Planning a visit soon to have a look.

I consulted a lawyer last year regarding this point and he told me that you can move money to and from Spain with no restrictions. The banking sectors in Spain is strong and so far I had no problems.
