A Galaxy Far, Far Away & Spain |
Hi folks,
We are a MM Couple looking to retire early, & hoping to move out to Spain, most likely the Mar Menor area in 2 years time.
I’m hoping to gleam some tips for preparing for the Big Move. So if you have any experiences, good or bad, feel free to drop me a line or message me here.
I’m looking for tips on everything from:
* How did you begin your research to areas you might like? Did it include right down to which “suburb” of your chosen town, or just the council/region which was supportive of expat communities?
* Did you take many belongings with you from the UK? How did you organise the Removers? Were they UK based or Spanish?
* Did you speak any Spanish language before or after moving? How did that impact your move?
* Do you have opinions on your choice of Estate Agent/Lawyer/Currency Exchange Company & The Services they provided?
* Paying into the Spanish Health Service - do you have any experiences, good or bad?
* Changing your driving licence.
* Arranging local tradesmen or utility companies to carry out jobs.
* Have you joined an ExPat type organization locally? Or are you living outwith the urbanisations?
* Are there any pitfalls we should look out for?
Any help & advice folk have will be appreciated.
Maybe even see some of you in 2019. |
