Hello David and sorry for the delay in answering back - never got a notification that it was replies to my post
Torrevieja, is nothing YET like a Benidor, Malaga or similar thought the way it goes it eventually will get there but still MILES TO GO
Anyway, you still need to cater for peoples need of work. ie, no everybody moving abroad is already retired and with the rest of their lifes pretty much economically sorted.
These not into the above category, I assume you amongs them, I would not advice to move into a totally spanish enviroment UNLESS they speak a decent spanish or else they will struggle to make a living. They will struggle with a SUPER command of the Spanish, let alone not speaking a word or near nothing of it
Please note that I only been twice to Torrevieja, I did so because is still one of the few places in Spain (I am talking coast and I am talking so for a reason) where you can still afford to buy a near decent house for your money
I was expecting pretty much the sort of comments that you are making but very nicely surprise I discover that is nothing like what I thought it would be. So much so that I bought my own house in there
For these who wants to know, I bought two houses in one for £110000
This is, thought within the same garden, (which is also divided in two) two totally independent entrances, two livingrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 full bathrooms, and 2 x 2 double bedrooms and one porsch
I will be living in one and renting the other and pretty much the mortgage should pay itself, THOUGHT I have to admit that there is now a lot of competence to rent in Torrevieja
Regarding integration, speaking the language etc, let me tell you than 70% of the population of Torrevieja speaks spanish and is formed for Spanish (mainly) and some sudamericans people
The other 30% fair enough are brits, germans, etc, BUT LETS FACE IT I need these for a living and I believe that you would need them to if as you say you would be moving to Spain some day
Please note the above remark is being made in the BEST sense of the word
Jesus - you say that property prices have now settled down in Torrevieja and that NON nationals can have a 95% mortgage. How are you going to manage this bearing in mind that 70% is normal? When I last investigated this, it was law that NON nationals could not have more than 70% mortgage.Prices in Torrevieja are now settle thought many owners still in denial but hey, that happens everywhere
Regarding the mortgage you are right that non-nationals are only allow to a 70% mortgage, BUT HEY THIS IS SPAIN, if I tell you that I (THROUGHT A TOTALY LEGAL SPANISH LEADER BANK) can give you a 95% mortgage is because I can
Dont ask me how, if you want a totally legal, 95% mortgage to buy a house in or around Torrevieja, let me know and I will get it for you, at very normal rates and even if you are self-employ and without accounts. FULL STOP
I, for one, would like to know how this is going to be achieved.
More details please.
U interested in knowing for good buy a book - please no offese - if you want a house with a 95% mortgage contact me privately
I am editing this thread as I have just found this link elsewhere on this forum.
95% MortgageI have the pleassure to have been talking with this chap in the past - very nice person by the way
As for whatever method I may use, I really dont think I have to openly explain to anybody - no offense for this please
I am offering something totally legal, endorsed by A LEADER SPANISH BANK of SUPERB REPUTATION and I dont see why I should explain the details of it
All that anybody needs to know is that you would get a 95% mortgage, with no fees, with totally normal rates and even better than many other banks and that THERE IS NOTHING TO PAY in front, OH YES, and that our percentage in any sale is VERY LOW compared to others and that WE PUT NO PRESSURE WHATSOEVER and, and, and.....honestly, can see why should I explain further.....do any british bank go throught explanations about their mortgage?, they give it to you or not, they give you the facts (namely figures to pay) and that's is about it
I believe, rightly or wrongly Jesus (and yes I know how to pronounce that name in Spanish), that this is the method of loan arrangement that you have been referring to ? If this is so, then if the LTV placed upon the property falls way below the asking price of the property, how are you going to assist in making up the shortfall?PLEASE NOTE no eveybody can offer this as practicallySpanish banks, now, like brits ones, are lending in purchase value, no longer in
Not sure if I understand exactly the other question of you.
What you meant? are you asking me that if somebody buy a house and the house devaluate, are you asking me to bear the lost for the house?, surely that's not you are asking me, cant be, you seems more inteligent than that.
If is that what you are asking David, do you mean that I should ask them for their winnings if the houses increases in value
I dont know what's to happen to the future of the houses, I am not a financial adviser or anything like it
Is very easy
If you want a house that cost £100000 in Spain, you as a British have to put £30000 + another £10000 buying cost = £40000
You can buy the same house with me but only having to have ready on cash £15000 or even less
SAME RATES, SAME BUYING FEES, NO PRESSURE, SAME HOUSES, NO MONEYS ON FRONT....What happen, are you applying the old say, if it sounds too good must not be truth? WELL, ON THIS CASE IT IS TRUE
