£££ - THE COST OF BLANCA - €€€

As housing prices have been constantly rising over the last few years it is costing the over 60's far more for a place in the sun, with a small flat costing in excess of £100,000 ( €142,000 approx) plus 7% capital transfer tax & 1 % registration tax plus additional professional fees. 'This is, therefore, how Spain Dream was conceived, to supply secure lease hold sites/plots in an idyllic location, self contained in small parks of 6 or less. The homes are located around a shared swimming pool in landscaped grounds, many surrounded by orange groves where the smell of the blossom is truly beautiful.

You buy your detached leisure home (Between €10,000 to €40,000 approx), and have it installed on a large landscaped plot which is licensed to you for a renewable 10 year period at a yearly ground rent of £1,000 (€1,420). Water is paid for by way of a water metre, as is electricity. Gas is available by way of bottled gas and a supply is readily available on the park.

We also offer you the ability to rent your leisure home (if required) for the weeks you or your family will not be using it. Thus bringing you in, (should you go down that avenue) an income, which, if you have financed your home would probably cover those charges or, give you a substantial amount of euros to enjoy your life style. It has been our experience in the past that many people visit friends and family during the summer (when the English weather is not as bad!) and rental then becomes a good option. Should you require any help with rentals we could deal with this on your behalf?

Leasing one secure site instead of a flat keeps your money in the bank or uses less of your finances or assets.
