Hi everybody 

I’m sorry if this has been already asked, We have sold our property in the U.K. to make a permanent move to Spain, we are going to rent whilst we do some research and make sure we chose  the right area, couple of questions I wonder if I may ask should we come over as of next month do we still qualify for the current rules of moving to Spain as part of the eu or is there a certain amount of time we need to be there prior to brexit?  Rental wise I do have a very small ( poodle size) dog who’s 12 very well behaved would prefer to bring her with me whilst I look to buy is that an issue for renting and any recommendations for renting Sorry for the long winded post thank you in advance

you need to be here asap and start the residencia process as soon as you arrive.  there are rentals which allow a dog but you may need to not be fussy with what and where you rent.  be aware of the taxes that may be involved in the selling of your property in the UK and buying in Spain you need some good advice from a solicitor.  Try Angela Morales in Mojacar.

Hello Sandra,

You lucky lady, I wish I could move to Mojacar permanently.

I am responding to your question about renting and dogs.  I have just put my property up for rent for the winter months.  The agent asked about my willingness to have pets.  The suggestion was that, they take a higher deposit to cover any pet damage.  Fair I thought, then responsible pet owners can bring their pets, and non responsible, pay or take greater care.

Hope you find your forever home soon

Yes current income and health cover rules apply until 31 December. There is no minimum period of residence required before then but you need to obtain a padron certificate from the town hall ASAP and submit a residency application well before 31 December. You may want to get assistance from a local gestor.
