All the latest news from Valencia Property

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.

Does that sound like a deal that may interest you? I have access to all of the properties available from one of the banks here in Valencia and that is the deal. The prices are set and the bank will finance up to 90% both to residents and non residents as long as the client appears to be a good one. You have to find 10% deposit and the costs only. Then you do not pay any mortgage at all for three years. Does it seem to good to be true?

It's no secret that last week there was an event in Valencia that we hoped we would never see, and no I am not talking about the America's Cup, that was an event we thought we would never see! The ex mayor of Montroy was arrested and detained overnight for allowing illegal builds in his town during the years of his mandate. The story got some real leverage because of the scale of the issue and those involved. There are roughly 70 villas known to be affected by this particular deal although there may be more.

A report has just been leaked to the Cadena SER radio station that the black economy in Spain now makes up 23.3% of all transactions. This means that a quarter of the economy in Spain doesn't show up on the official figures for the size of the GDP for example. The figure is 5% higher than a decade ago and it is getting higher due to the famous "Crisis".

One of the things that you learn when you have lived in Spain for a time is that things are not what they seem in many cases. This may well be why "Spain is Different" still holds true. What on the surface can seem a totally normal thing has millions of tentacles and subplots underneath. Today's question is what are the banks doing? Now Spanish banks look safe and have not had the huge upheavals of the States or The UK. However there is something going on and I would like to make a few suppositions here as everybody loves a good conspiracy theory.

Previously if you wanted an English language book in Valencia you hauled yourself into the Casa del Libro or Fnac and you assumed the position as you got ready to hand over your wallet before it came back considerably lighter

The market is cranking up for people moving to Spain. Sterling has started rising and this has piqued the interest of those who were waiting to come to Spain. Enquiries are up, visits are up and prices are steadying.

Well I was going to ask for a vote but I am a dictatorship so Houses For Sale in Spain's first giveaway on the most excellent comments is a no brainer. We had plenty of comments about the nice new look and more but the winning comment without doubt came from Christopher Nation with this insightful effort. (And no he hadn't been drinking, at least I don't think he had)

OK I know it is slightly early but I wanted to get this out today for a friend of mine on Twitter who needs a few podcasts for his car this week as he is travelling around.
