Hi Vic and Jackie,
Good to hear from you and thank you for replying so promptly.

Brian and I also discussed rental of a villa in Spain and like yourselves, renting our present home out here in the UK.
We have some mortgage to still pay off. If we rented, this would cover the mortgage for the remaining period outstanding of around 2 years.
The rental side of things appealed to us very much so but again (and yes...we would have to look into and ask suitable estate agent companies or rental companies) because we have some small pet dogs and rental could or would be harder to get. We would also be looking for long term furnished rental of 2 years (or more if we decide to hold onto our UK home and continue to rent).
As you rent, I would very much value your opinion and findings on renting. Would the cost of rental for e.g. cover the council tax and rates and or water. Would we be secure in the rental, i.e. renting without concern of the owner(s) wanting the property back before the rental contract is up? In fact any relevant information would be appreciated.
Many thanks once again.
Best wishes
Breianne
Hi,
It sounds as if you are like us and doing plenty of research first. The rental from our house covers pretty much ALL our costs incl. water, basura (rubbish collection) and a good part of our electricity. The owner pays the council tax which is very cheap anyway. We rent from New Horizons Villas in Los Carasoles, just up the road from us. Have a look at their website newhorizonvillas.com. They have some really nice long term rentals right now, (we have been here three and half years and are very secure). Voss also have a good reputation in this area for sales. If you would like to chat, we could Skype with you, show you what we have and what we have done to our villa since we've been here? Let us know...
Vic and Jackie
