All the latest news from Valencia Property

Fallas is here. Those words mean a lot of things in Valencia. Fallas means the start of spring, it means the ending of the cold period that is the short winter here, it means huge models in the street and roads closed all over the place for the huge models to be placed on street corners all around and it means that, this year at least, the children get a whole week off school, just before another two weeks off school for Easter. (Last year the two ran into each other)

The vast majority of properties on the Valencia Property website have always been key ready and usually pre-owned properties. We didn't get into the false gold rush that was the off plan property market and therefore we are probably a lot poorer for it.

I sent the offer at the attached link to my mailing list and followers on Twitter yesterday but today the whole World gets to look at it and pick over the bones. We have a very limited number of half price properties for sale in Murcia, first line penthouse golf apartments of two bedrooms at 95000 Euros.

Oops!! Sometimes I forget things just like anyone else. Well I made a newsletter a couple of weeks ago and sent it out to all of my subscribers but then totally forgot to send it out to everyone else on the blog (Do you see how it pays to be a subscriber to our newsletter? sign up at the top of the page)

We have talked on these pages before about education in Spain and what to look out for so that the kids feel at home. What we haven't talked about is how to integrate the kids into the local community in the best way. Believe it or not this is easy because kids in general are so garroulous and adaptable they will fit in anywhere. However Spain has made it easier for kids to fit in by having loads of places they can go and do stuff.

When you buy a house for sale in Spain you often get yourself some quite unique issues, some would say problems. One of those specific issues is the electricity thing. What is the electricity thing? Well you often get electric shocks in Spanish houses and flats. Small ones and sometimes a bit bigger ones that can make your hair stand up like Tom just after Jerry has plugged his tail into the mains.

Again this morning I took out a client to see a house and took extra umbrellas with me. Why, well again it was raining. Now this winter has been the wettest I can remember in Spain and it just seems that it goes on and on. Eventually the sun came out this afternoon and suddenly the temperature was at least ten degrees warmer and a whole new feeling came over the properties we were seeing. (It is evening now and yet again it is raining with another huge storm looking to engulf the country on Friday and Saturday)

Today is the last day of relative quiet in Valencia for the next twenty days. The Mascleta´s in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento start tomorrow heralding the start of Fallas (Official dates 15th - 19th of March) but actually starting now. It also heralds the start of spring and after the winter we have had with a perfect storm heading into North Western Spain about time too.

This is the latest property which will has been sold and completion will be very soon. The property has been sold around a month after making this video about it. Now if you as a seller want a video that is similar made about your property just get in touch and we will see what we can do for you.

Spain is different and sometimes Spain is very different. In the USA it is easy to give a property back to the bank. In the UK it is easier than here. In Spain it might be quite hard. Speaking to a friend last year he told me that a bank manager in one of the coastal resorts had compared his bank to a video shop with people returning the keys into a box and skipping the country. However it is not that easy to do this with the advent of the EU open borders policy. Now they can get you in the UK if they so mind.

If what you want is more like a place in the sun that you can come to and close up as you wish with loads of cheap flights from the UK then we have a few no money down deals on the Costa Blanca and Murcia. Prices start from 54000 Euros for an apartment on the Costa Blanca and a townhouse in Murcia overlooking a golf course costs around 99000 Euros

I have just seen this video taken early morning in Valencia, not today as it is actually foggy. If you get one of our properties down by the beach and are the type of person who is an early bird or with party times in Valencia even a night owl then you could wake up to this or even see it just before you go to bed.

I have been wanting to take photos of some great properties in the last week and again I am being hamstrung by the weather. The subject has moved onto people's agenda in Spain and therefore you have to say that something unusual is happening. Let's look at the facts. In November the temperature in Valencia didn't drop below a minimum of 20ºC on any day, autumn stretched into winter with ease and we all thought cool, a nice warm winter. Oh how wrong we were.
