Hello,

Im new here so please be nice to me!
Im vaguely considering renting out my UK yard and renting somewhere with a house, a couple of stables and a couple of acres near Cadiz.I know many of the farms are ruins,so does anybody know anywhere suitable,(ie not a ruin!) for rent?
Thanks!

You could try posting an advert on this site, they are free to place an ad and you can also rent your own place on it.

You shouldn't have any problem finding a Real Estage agent (API, Agente de la propiedad inmobiliaria) going head over heels for understanding you, finding an English-speaking colleague or whatever.

Of course it's just my guess. I'm Spanish and cutting intermediaries is something I'd logically go for.

Having played the renting game (just a house, not a farm mind you!) before in Spain, I'd say that popping over here and knocking down the doors of local agents is the best way to find something.

Despite the market, we found that most Spanish agents simply ignore the telephone, faxes, e-mails and the web, but will be more than helpful if you appear at their door.

Plus, the stuff you see on the net is often overpriced (sometimes massively) and can be poorly / inadequately described. We've seen our rental advertised for sale between €96,000 and €136,000 on the same web page by different agents, with fictional extra bedrooms / extra reception rooms / and in one case even a 'large' non-existent garden!

You just have to be here to find the right place.
