People who know Denise and myself, know that we are property finders. Lots of people ask us to sell houses, which we don’t do, because that would be unethical. In a past post, you may remember (all two of you), that a golf developer had offered us silly money and a car for pushing their [...]

Home Finders - a new concept for the Costa Blanca?
The way property has been bought and sold in the Mediterranean part of Spain has been much criticised.

Promises, Promises -
In Spain you have less choice of phone providers, at least with land lines, due to the monopoly held by Telefonica, who do not display the best customer services in the world. You may not even be able to have a land line…

A new house under construction, but they are not all built like this!
This is the first of my articles on how Spanish property is, or can be, built. Our Spanish country house started life as an agricultural building

I had a go at this (green) bowling when I was a teenager and it is more exciting than it looks! Obviously with a lot of retired people in the area, there are a fair few clubs around the region. This time I am covering the Marina Baja and Marina Alta areas.

This is by way of an introduction to the Marinas from Oliva down to Torrevieja. Valencia are of course hosting the Americas Cup and if I get time I will include those near and around Valencia.

It is often hard to choose a tradesman, company or place to buy things on the CB. Specialist items are almost impossible to find and the quality of tradesmen and services varies immensely. So, send in your positive comments so that others can benefit. Funny and sad stories as well if you like, but don’t [...]

Looking around at news sites relevant to the Costa Blanca, I have found that the quality and content vary, from local and national coverage to those just trying to sell books. Rather than pick an RSS feed for my site, thought it would be better to describe

Aw mum do we have to sell it?
Previously, the importation charge made was based on value of the vehicle; now it is based on emissions as well, resulting in cheaper importation costs for newer more economical cars. The gas guzzlers get mugged, which is proper and correct. There are other factors to consider if you [...]
