All the latest news from Valencia Property

I went out to Valencia's central market this morning taking the family. Today I felt naked! I didn't have a camera. I have never seen so many 35mm SLR devices in one area in my life. There were at least eight different classes on photography going on and getting out of the way of the long lenses was rather difficult.

I have had a couple of requests to see some houses for sale in Spain so here is a little video showing a few of the recent properties that may interest you if you are thinking of buying a property for sale in Spain.

I get quite a lot of testimonials but I am very happy with this one as it comes in three installments. David is someone who bought the Success in Spain Audiobooks (Get them at that link) and it sort of went from there. When you are looking for a House For Sale In Spain you need to do what David and Patricia did, your homework. If you do then you get the result he has got. Without it you are risking a lot.

I don't know whether you have ever heard this song, most people haven't and it has taken me ages to find it on the net. Tom Robinson, he of "2-4-6-8 Motorway" fame wrote a little known song using a combination of evocative imagery and Spanish guitar. Have a listen and see what you think.

To be honest I was getting bored with the old look and some of my other blogs which you can see listed here had nice, clean looks. Therefore, Houses For Sale In Spain has a new look. Do you like it? Comments welcome.

So you have come here from Twitter, Welcome. This is the landing page for Twitter people who have come to “Houses For Sale in Spain“. Thanks for visiting. You have a couple of things here. A welcome and a video describing what I do for people. It is just a couple of minutes but it will give you more of a taste of who I am and how I might be able to help you out in Spain.

The Americas Cup will take place next month in Valencia. The 32nd was a great event that changed the face of the City at least temporarily. This is just a damp squib. Check out my video below, I have already had my rant on this blog here, and comment on what you think about this event or yachting in general.

Upgrading to Spain our January newsletter is ready to look at. The first newsletter of 2010 and packed full of great information for those of you looking to move to Spain this year and anyone else with an interest in Spain. And it is big! So give it time to download to your computer. It should open automatically in your PDF reader, Preview on a Mac or Adobe if you have it installed on your PC.

What is clickbank? Well it is a place where you can buy and more importantly sell, digital products, ebooks, audiobooks, video courses etc... If you are there then you might be interested to know a little thing which might make you some money or even save you some money.

Obviously there are lots of places to go snowboarding in Spain. The ski stations in Spain are high and currently absolutely replete with snow. You can go South to Granada and the Sierra Nevada, head inland from Valencia to teruel, check out the Picos de Europa or go to the more obvious Pyrenees along the boarder with France. However this post has nothing to do with skiing, snowboarding or anything else done on the white stuff, not even making snowmen.

I was listening to one of the interviews in our audiobooks whilst driving in my car yesterday and was struck by a commentary made by Nick Snelling. Are you coming to Spain to upgrade your lifestyle or upgrade your house? What is your reason for coming to Spain?

Last year I wrote a post about the worst companies in Spain. It was quite popular and struck a chord.

For many years now we have been telling clients coming to Valencia to live that one of the best places to buy a flat is the Cabañal. It is undervalued, well communicated and near the beach. There was one element of doubt over buying in the Cabañal though.

As it is the end of the year I thought it time to give you an overview of the Spanish Property Market for 2009 and a quick look at the potential for the market in 2010. This video carcast was taken with my new Xmas present the Kodak Zi8 videocamera. Any comments welcome.

When buying a property one of the things you often consider first is the communications aspect, telephone, internet, metro and bus. Valencia’s metro system is extensive and growing. Next year it will reach Ribarroja and Villamarchante which should increase more their desirability as they will become commuter belt towns which currently they only are for people who like braving the early morning traffic into the city.

Today I took some clients to see a castle from close quarters. The house next door. They were assured that the castle has good foundations because it overlooks the house they were going to see in a looming way. Anyway, the house they went to see, along with two others you can see linked at the bottom of this post is rather excellently presented.

One of the things we are always looking at here is to give you more options when you come to live in Spain. The days when you could just turn up in Spain and walk into a job anywhere are over to a certain degree. Mike Cliffe Jones has been blogging for a career for a year now and teaching others to do the same. He has just brought out a roadmap for you to do it too. Have a read of his article about it here.
