Re: Telegraph Spain bashing ....... again
It seem a fairly accurate picture of what is happening.
They had the villa on the Market for 250k euros in 2012 it doesn't say what they bought it for 10 years or so earlier. |
Re: Telegraph Spain bashing ....... again
Read though this thread.
Post one Gives a link to one article. Post two from me suggests the torygraph article reads like some sort of advert. I also added in post 30 a link to this article. So maybe the original link was advertising.:thumbdown: |

At the peak of 2007, some sold for £165k - so about double. If we sold now, I reckon we'd get £80k - about what we paid for it. I've used £ equivalent for comparisons. |

Re: Telegraph Spain bashing ....... again
So ****ing what? I mean, seriously, is the fact that a UK newspaper has some gripe about Spain and it's situation really that important? Do people not have better things to worry about? Is this it? Is this the sum total of peoples worry?

I've used £ equivalent for comparisons. It seems to give a pretty accurate figure. It also suggests that if you bought more than 10 years ago you might just still be in profit. |

I know you might not have seen it coming, but did you ever consider selling it at its peak ?

I can't remember in which thread I predicted that RM would beat BM and that Chelsea would beat AM. Did win a few quid tonight tho! Let's hope Mourinho delivers tomorrow and I'll be quids in |
Re: Telegraph Spain bashing ....... again
Taking 2007 as a starting point, I have personally lost around a third of my British income and my house is worth half of what it was then.
I lived in Spain long before that but any other comparison would be too complicated. I can understand the sudden exodus of expats, both British and German from Spain for all sorts of reasons but also one of having given it a reasonable six years to recover the realisation that there will be no recovery for a lot longer has sapped any lingering optimism. 90,000 people leaving in one year, and that's official figures, is mind blowing. I've come across one funcionario, a National Police officer, who started the tiny office where deregistering expats had to fill out a form, written by him, stating in their own words their reasons for leaving his lovely country. He used to get angry. They've closed his office but you can still find him in the little cafe down the road, pissed out of his box at eight in the morning. |
