10 GREAT THINGS ABOUT LIVING

IN SPAIN

Page 5: Spanish Property Magazine

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT GANDIAYou may not have heard of Gandia as it is generally off the radar for foreigners, there are as few as 80 British people registered on the census for example. However, Gandia is a huge draw for people from Spain with huge swathes of whiteish sands, excellent yachting facilities and an excellent climate without the tourist hordes that you may find in other areas and with a hint of Spanishness about everything. Let Nick Snelling tell you more about the place he calls home. !

Gandia – the last secret of Mediterranean Spain Do you know Gandia?

Almost certainly not – because Gandia is extraordinary for being a Mediterranean coastal town that has remained truly ‘Spanish’, to the point at which it is almost totally unknown outside of Spain. This is remarkable, not least because Gandia has the finest, Blue Flag beaches in Spain and a surrounding countryside that is notable for its breath-taking beauty. Verdant and with dramatic mountains that rise up almost immediately beyond the coastline, the Gandia area has long been the chosen holiday destination of the Spanish themselves.

Page 6: Spanish Property Magazine

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT GANDIAIn fact, one of the reasons why the Gandia area is so little known is that Gandia has never had to market itself to the international community. The Spanish themselves have recognised why it is so special and have powered the local economy. This has been a blessing, as the area has not been internationalised and still retains the charm of a community that has not been overrun by foreigners (either mass tourism or expatriates). So, if you want somewhere that is special, that is truly unspoilt and that is not heaving with newly built estates (with identical properties, on tiny plots) then why not come to Gandia – and experience a part of Spain that is truly enchanting? Where is Gandia? Well, Gandia is just 70 km south of Valencia City, on the eastern coast of Spain, and is almost opposite the Balearic Islands. It is easy to access, as the arterial A7 motorway runs past the town and there is a direct rail link from Valencia City to Gandia (the last stop south!). Meanwhile, Valencia international airport is serviced by cheap flights and has a metro (20 minutes ride) straight from inside the airport to the middle of the city and its main train station.

Of course, Gandia (which has a population of 80,000) has all the amenities that you could ever desire. It has fine restaurants, a university campus, schools and a shopping area - well known throughout Spain for its high quality boutiques. On the beach there are clubs, casinos and hotels and, around the town, estates with a wide variety of properties. Most of these estates have grown up organically over many years and have a mixed population of mainly Spaniards with some expatriates.

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT GANDIAProperties around the Gandia area are notable for their individuality and generous sized plots – together with their easy communications into Gandia and all the amenities (including the beach) that you could possibly need. This makes them ideal for full time living (whilst being perfect as holiday homes!). !Needless to say, there is a wide selection of properties for sale around Gandia and these extend from holiday flats (right on the beach!) through to town houses of all sizes, villas and fincas. There are also some delightful luxury homes… !If Gandia is an area that interests you (how can it not!) then do contact us for more information and meet our dedicated agent for the area, Nick Snelling (author of three books on Spain and expert for A Place in the Sun.

THE OLD AND NEW

SPANISH

VISA PROCESS EXPLAINED

Page 20: Spanish Property Magazine

If you are thinking of buying property in Spain and you are from outside the European Union you now have the choice to buy a property or properties to the value of 500,000 Euros or more and it is granted automatically, see the requirements here. However that does not mean that people who spend less than 500,000 Euros but want to get a visa and the right to live here can no longer do it. They can and the rules remain the same as they were prior to the new automatic visa coming in. !Here is the process for getting a visa by spending less than 500,000 Euros. One thing though, you have to be aware that even when you follow all of the steps correctly and do everything you are supposed to do then the granting of the visa is not automatic, you may be refused. We have had some twenty clients from China in the last year or so and all but one of them have been granted the visa. The problem is that the Spanish consulate in Shanghai doesn’t let you know why you may be refused although it is almost always to do with not having enough money in a bank account and proving it is yours. So no guarantees but all probabilities. !The process is slightly different if you are inside or outside the country when you start but let us assume you make a visit to look for properties as a first step to start off with.

Page 21: Spanish Property Magazine

1) You make a visit on a temporary visa to look for a property. Whilst here you give power of attorney to a lawyer to apply for your NIE number and you open a bank account to receive your money. With the POA the lawyer/trustee can apply for the NIE number and avoid you having to queue for what possibly could be a very long time. !2) Once you find a suitable property you place a deposit (Once the lawyer has checked out that it is all legal and above board with no debts or encumbrances on the property) and then you have a contract. This contract has a time period on it. That can be anything from one month up to and including a year. The usual is one to three months and if you get a longer period you will usually be required to place a higher deposit. !3) Within the stipulated time period you transfer funds to your account in Spain for the purchase and cost of taxes, notary, registry etc… and your POA purchases the property for you. The deeds of the property and the keys are then sent to you in your country.

Page 22: Spanish Property Magazine

4) Get your POA to purchase a medical insurance for you in Spain or buy one in your own country that covers medical services in Spain. !5) You must also make sure that you can prove you have means to support yourself when you come to Spain so your bank account in your home country must show that there is money available to live on when you come to Spain. This amount is not stated but in our experience anything over 50,000 Euros equivalent in the local currency is usually accepted. (One client of our lawyer was refused because even though they had 100,000 Euros in their account it had only been transferred into the account two days before providing details to the embassy and it came from their father. This was too obviously not the client’s money but was given by a third party and despite that third party being a family member their residency application was refused as a result) !6) You also have to prove that you have no criminal record. This is true for all non EU nationals even if they have previously been living in another member state of the EU for a period of over a year. If this is the case then you have to prove that you have no criminal record in the member state during your time period there. !7) With the NIE number, the medical insurance, criminal record check, passport and the property deeds in hand you make an application in your home country at the Spanish embassy/consulate for a visa. Because you have already made the purchase, have set up your bank account and got your NIE number the embassy sees you have the intention to live in the country and they issue the visa for a period of one year. !8) At the end of the first year you will be required to renew the visa which will be granted for another two years then after two years the same will happen again. At the end of this initial period of five years a permanent visa will be granted. (This is usually granted automatically as long as conditions of the original application have not changed). Finally the applicant can apply for Spanish citizenship at the end of ten years. !Once the visa is granted then there are a series of actions you need to take to get yourself registered. We will cover those in a further post. !If your circumstances are different, if you have any questions, want to know any more or want to start the process yourself do not hesitate to get in touch with us on [email protected]

10 GREAT THINGS ABOUT LIVING IN SPAIN

Page 26: Spanish Property Magazine

I wrote a very well received article recently about ten things that people miss when they do not live in Spain. Little things they may be but they can also convey part of the meaning of living in Spain and why people do it. Take a look and see what you think. !Sometimes we don’t know what we are missing until we are not living in a place and we get as the Spanish say “Nostalgia” otherwise known as Homesickness. However here are some of the things you can look forward to when you are coming to live in Spain or just buying a holiday home over here. !1) Jamón – Spanish Ham is one of the great joys of living in Spain. It is a part of the daily ritual, the most common tapa or bocadillo, and part of the fiestas (You have not arrived in Spain until your boss, company or a member of the family gets you a Jamón at Xmas along with the Cava. !2) Persianas – Argh the beauty of sleep! You may have noticed it gets very sunny and bright in Spain and at times that can mean it getting light early in the morning when you desperately need some sleep after a night on the tiles. Persianas were born for this, blinds for the uninitiated. Not for the Spanish the slight inconvenience of the sun coming up, if you want total blackout conditions so that you wake up at 2 in the afternoon and you think it is still early morning then the persianas on the windows are the best thing ever invented. Especially useful for students and shift workers who would otherwise never be able to sleep. !

Page 27: Spanish Property Magazine

3) Not Having To Drive – I have said it before and I will say it again, if the average Spaniard could they would live above their work and have a fireman’s pole to their desk, they would have a bar, a tobacconists and a supermarket on their block and they would never leave that block except in cases of dire emergency. This means that Spanish cities have been built up and are therefore very compact. Valencia, a city of 1 million people can be crossed on foot in about an hour and bikes, the bus and metro system and the local trains mean that if you live in the city you do not need a car. And really that is a good job because finding a parking place can be like the proverbial needle in a haystack and buying or renting a parking space can considerably increase your debt levels. !4) Coffee – I have never understood the existence of Starbucks in Spain. Go to any greasy spoon cafe in any one horse town in Spain and you will get a better cup of coffee at a third of the price of the sugar and cream fest masquerading as coffee in that horrible place (OK they have free wifi I know) However you have it, cortado, Americano or even a relaxing cup of cafe con leche in the Plaza Mayor in Madrid it is infinitely better than in Starbucks (Just be careful of the Torrefacto muck) !5) Pipas – When I first came to Spain I couldn’t find a Mars Bar anywhere and I was distraught. I just saw people everywhere eating birdseed. How wrong I was. Sunflower seeds in their shell are not only sustenance but also a Spanish way of life. Go to any football match and instead of nails being bitten there are thousands of fans around you sitting eating their Pipas and spitting the husks onto the floor. As I once said the difference between a park bench in the UK and Spain are the piles of Pipa shells on the floor in Spain. !

Page 28: Spanish Property Magazine

6) Timings – Getting up later, eating lunch in mid afternoon, waiting until bedtime before even venturing out for an evening meal and making sure to fit a siesta in at some stage during the day and finding all of the shops closed for three hours during the day before going to bed at some indeterminent stage in the wee small hours, that is the Spanish timing of life and if we add into this the lack of timekeeping, if you arrange to meet at one you best tell the other person to be there at 12.30 if you want them to arrive before 2, then you will understand that Spain is different. !7) Being Outside – Sitting on a terrace bar having a coffee, a vermut, a pincho, a clara or a GinTonic is the most normal thing on Earth. Why use the six coffee machines you have at home when you can support the local economy by going to your local bar and have a shouting match with a friend or six over the noise of a “maquina Tragaperras” in the corner (Fruit machine for the uninitiated)? !8) Where’s the Ñ on my computer? – Once you are outside of Spain the Ñ disappears from everywhere. You sort of miss it because it embodies España of course. Well let me give you a tip, on the iPhone and iPad you just press and hold the N to get the option and I believe it is “Alt-164ʺ″ or something like that on a PC. !9) Light – You can wear shades all day without looking affected in Spain, in fact it is a necessity if you don’t want to spend all day squinting and increasing your wrinkle count when you get a bit older. And of course the light means less depression, no seasonal affective disorder in most of Spain, more “Alegría” and more of an outdoor lifestyle.

Page 29: Spanish Property Magazine

10) La Sobremesa – The period after a meal when you don’t just get up and go if out or get up and do the dishes if at home, the sobremesa is when you discuss, business, school with the kids, holidays, plans, gossip and more and it can go on for hours… and you know the best thing it usually includes wine, brandy, coffees, chocolates, cakes and a whole host of other wondrous things, in fact it can often last into the next meal if done correctly. !So there are our ten. What other things would you include in your things that you would miss about Spain if you weren’t here? Or if you are not here what is it about the Spanish lifestyle you are looking forward to?

The Costa Brava has maintained value well on properties since the crash from 2006 onwards. There are various reasons for this, quality tourism and property, the fact that Catalunya considers itself apart from the rest of Spain and the proximity to France along with the ease of getting there from the rest of Europe. !!This four bedroomed house with guest apartment situated in Pals, a wooded area of the L’Empordá just down the road from L’Estartit presents itself very well and has plenty of space for you to enjoy on this rather exclusive area of the coast.

The self contained apartment has two further bedrooms and a bathroom too so good for renting out, the extended family of just to connect up to the main part of the house to give yourself much more space.

Some years ago a property overlooking the golf course at El Bosque would have set you back a pretty penny. However, prices have dropped somewhat now and suddenly this is looking like excellent value compared to other things in Spain on established golf courses. !!This townhouse is set over four floors if we include the garage below and the huge roof terrace above. The ground floor, entered from the front by the pool, has a large living room, good sized kitchen and a toilet with a large covered terrace off the living room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a hall. Then there is the large roof terrace overlooking the pool to one side and the golf course to the other. !!The garage can fit a couple of cars and also has space for lots of storage and the whole thing has been sparsely used since it was built around 2006.

Sometimes you find an excellent opportunity at a ridiculously interesting price, this is one of those times. There are lots of 4’s here, it’s a fourth floor flat with four bedrooms for just 44,000 Euros, that’s right just 44k. Obviously there is no lift but they are not difficult stairs.!!The property is around 80m2 with four bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and living/dining room. The property has been dressed for sale but would still benefit from a revamp of the kitchen and bathroom. Equally you may want to make a separate dining room and lose a bedroom. !!Set near to the excellent Cabañal market and around 500 yards from the beach this is an opportunity too good to be missed for that blowhole in the sun that is also very rentable in the summer season or to teachers or students in the winter.

A very smart flat near to the beach and main road of Calle Reina in Valencia. It is a three bedroom property currently but could also be an excellent two bedroomed apartment with a huge lounge and open plan kitchen. Currently the kitchen is good sized too and there is a bathroom and hall. Everything was modernised just a few years ago and the property is sold totally furnished and set up to move into. It even includes things such as the television. !!Second floor with a lift on a pedestrianised road in the Cabañal area of Valencia and just a few hundred metres away from the beach at the Cabañal. On lots of bus routes into the centre and close to the Marina and Port.
