Hi my husband and I are looking to purchase a mobile home on a residential site in Spain...to retire to hopefully before the end of December this year...my questions are: could we apply for residency with living in a mobile home? And would we need masses of money to live in Spain ....sorry for the questions 😊 any help would be much appreciated xxx

Hello Laura. My husband and I have lived in a double mobile home on a residential park for many years, and, yes, you can obtain residencia; that's not a problem. We live 20 minutes away from the coastline of Vera Playa, Garrucha, Mojacar, but in a rural situation. If you'd like to know more about where we are and what's on offer, please do message me privately and I can answer your questions and give you more information.
Have a good day.

Hi
We lived in a mobile home for eight years and obtained our Padron, NIE, Spanish bank account, Residencia, driving licence etc. Living in a mobile home over here doesn't make anything different to if you buy bricks and mortar.
Water is cheap, we didn't pay IBI (equivalent to council tax), basura payments (rubbish collection) were about 120 a year, no TV licence fees. We find electricity quite expensive.
Menu del Dia from 10 euros (three courses plus a drink). Coffee, wine and beer cheap as chips 😉 if you buy local produce, it's good prices but if you want 'english' food, you pay a hefty premium as it has to be shipped here. I buy most of our groceries from Lidl and Mercadona, fruit and veg from the market and the odd 'treat' from Iceland!
Don't hesitate... Jump in and do it!
