So here it is then. The last of our 100 tips for people moving to Spain or thinking about it at least and this one is the most obvious of all. However firstly let me tell you about the journey to get here.

I started this series of videos after reading something about how to keep people coming back for more on your blog and various social media platforms, thanks to Don Crowther for that. I had been thinking about the concept of market leadership for some time thanks to Ed Dale and the people at The Challenge and I wanted to do something that provided huge value to people wanting to come over to Spain and at the same time would establish the brand of Valencia Property and Houses For Sale In Spain as a market leader in the sale of property to foreigners.

The 100 Tips For Moving to Spain Continues

I got a lot of feedback about tip number 54 which you can see by going to the You Tube Channel and looking through the playlist that is featured. It asked the question whether you are racist/bigoted.

Today tip number 59 has been uploaded into YouTube and that is the simple point that Spain is a noisy place so get used to the idea. Don’t buy a city flat then complain about the noise because you have been forewarned about it now. Valencia is actually the noisiest city in Europe apparently and they revel in that status.

Tip Number 53 of our 100 Tips. Negotiate, Negotiate, Negotiate

In the immortal words of Joe Gormley, ex Union Leader in the strife ridden UK of the 1970’s 😉 you should always be ready to negotiate when you are thinking of buying a house for sale in Spain. (He didn’t actually mention houses for sale in Spain but you get what I mean) Prices are generally flexible on most properties but remember that sometimes you have to do that negotiation with a bank because the owner owes as much as they are asking for the property. Even, and possibly especially, bank repossessions are negotiable because the banks have been told by the Spanish central bank to get rid of some of their outstanding stock.

100 Tips For Moving To Spain: Nº43 For Couples

Tip number 43 of our 100 tips for people moving to Spain is about couples.

No this is not a swingers’ post but it is about couples and when they are planning the move to Spain. I have seen it all too often, one partner wants the move and the other is being dragged kicking and screaming into it. Both parts of a couple need to be interested and enthusiastic about the move to Spain. If not then disaster will inevitably happen usually in the form of a divorce, separation or constant arguments.
