Hi Shaz and thank you for your message. The post you have replied to was from a question I asked in 2019. I actually moved to Spain in September 2020 and now a resident. I rented for 6 months in Mojácar and in May 2021 moved into my own apartment on the Playa. I’ve made quite a few friends and...

Hi I got my rental through Mojácar Rentals. As part of the withdrawal agreement I had to have a legal and signed 6 month contract as I didn’t own a property here. I organised my rental on-line while I was still in the UK in August 2020, as I did my Solicitor here in Spain. If it hadn’t had b...

...een for lockdown I would have come over to Spain and stayed in a hotel for a week or two and had a look at rentals in person but no hotels were open and agents were not showing people round in person because of the lockdown and all properties having to be “COVID “ cleaned. I didn’t like my rental property at all but I had signed for the lease so was stuck with it!!

Hii Sandra, thank you for your reply 

Exactly what I would need to do before renting to look to buy property, staying in a hotel/ self catering first, I have been sitting on the fence, undecided for well Over a year now! for that same reason the commitment to a rental from afar, and the not liking it. Congratulations on your moving t...

...o Mojacar during COVID, very resourceful! 

Did you see many properties before your purchase, did you have a good agency?

I might take a short holiday to Mojacar as I have not been for many many years and am told has changed a lot of course and would need to explore. Did you know Mojacar before moving? 

regards

Firstly I would like to thank the people who run this site and all the people who take their time ask questions and reply I find it a great help and insightful. I'm 61 and single and live in the North West of England work full time and earn a below average salary. I'm hoping to retire when I'm 64...

... and up to now Mojacar is where I want to relocate to. I will fund this by selling my home in the UK and buying cash, I will of course be totally funding the first two years from savings before I can draw my state pension at 66 (don't start be on that subject) I'm not looking at buying a car as I can't justify or afford the expense. To carry on living in the UK I would either have to carry on working well past my retirement age to be able to own my car and my house and have 1 holiday a year or I would have to downsize considerably and to a different and not so good neighrbourhood , plus put up with the awful climate which gets me down. It would be great to know if there are people who have been in a similar position as myself, made the move and how they are getting on, what obticles they have come across if any, how they have settled in etc. 

Best regards

Hi Nadine, I had only been to Mojácar once on my own for a week in May 2018 😀 I looked at quite a few resale properties but couldn’t find what I wanted, I used several agencies and all much of a muchness, they don’t hear what you are asking for and take you to inappropriate properties. I ...

Thank you for your reply, I thought I had replied earlier but not seeing this! I can only say you are so brave and adventurous having seen Mojacar 1 week, renting then settling there! Amazing.

Are properties off plan a good thing there I guess? I have not looked at that.

thank you for the offer of contacting you when I come down to Mojacar, I will do so.

Best wishes

Nadine
