” Yes, it’s true, Spanish property sales have declined in the past few years and many WDA coursesof those intending to purchase are more informed than they have been in the past years – due to the internet revolution a wealth of information is now WDA coursesavailable on-line, something that just wasn’t there a mere 10 years ago. WDA courses”Why this demand? aks Mark” “Amid the tales of woe about the Spanish property market why are they still looking at Spain! Open any publication WDA coursesover the last year or so and see the wailing and beating of chests about the Spanish market. Don’t they know! Hasn’t anyone told them! Do they need their WDA coursesheads examined!! The answer is they have voted with their feet – as have many before- in search of a new and different direction in life.The demand is simply there because no where else in Europe delivers better weather, better year round sports, better medical and communications infrastructure – all in all Spain WDA coursesdelivers A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE. Don’t take my word for it” he goes on to say. “In research conducted by UKForex nearly eight out of 10 Expats are happier living abroad than they were living in the UK. Of those who spend time out of the UK and choose Spain as their home they appear to be the happiest of all, with WDA coursesmore than 90 per cent saying they are happy with their lives here. The survey showed that most people – around a third – moved to seek a better quality of life and according to the research it seems that many have found it in Spain.” WDA courses”Moving away from the UK, for many is not something that they would undertake lightly” says Mark.”Losing day to day contact with friends and family at a later stage in life can be a strain… many new clients are seeking to combine life in the UK – or other home country – and spend perhaps six months of the year in Spain. October to March seem to be the preferred months in Spain for a variety of reasons primarily related to the weather.” But it’s not just the sun that’s the constant lure for those struggling to heat an ageing and now partially unused family home in one of those spots around the UK or other parts of Northern Europe that have seen substantial growth in value over the last ten plus years, Mark goes on “In the days of under performing equities, the “credit crunch” and fears of recession stemming from the continued “sub prime” fallout from the US, there is actually some sound retirement planning at play.”He goes on to comment on how living circumstances for many has now changed in the UK: “A non-existent or materially diminished mortgage that can be easily paid off on sale opens a Pandora’s Box of wonders for those whose children have left home to make their way in the world. That four bed roomed house which was an essential when they were growing up may have become a millstone. The recent rises in the Council Tax bill, above inflation rate rises in utility bills and generally the costs burden of maintaining a too large property has prompted many to look at alternatives. It’s now usual for them to see the kids for Sunday lunch when they load up on a Roast and collect their now clean washing deposited the week before.” Sounds familiar? Another big change Mark notes is in the relationships WDA coursesbetween grandparents and grandchildren. He was talking to a couple of golfing grandparents recently and they told him how their kids and grandkids actually look forward to coming to Spain to spend some quality time with them. “Oh no, not another trip to Granny’s” turns into a playground brag “We are spending summer WDA courseswith Granny in Spain”! they explained. I can vouch for that too. We have a 4 yerar old grandaughter back in the UK and even at the tender age of four years we are already subject to comments like ” I haven’t been to see you for a long time WDA courseshave ?” “I want to come to your house.” “When am I coming to see you?” I’m sure we will be bombarded with these requests as she grows as she (and WDA coursesher parents) have a great time when they are over here. And yes, although we don’t see her as often as we would if we were back in the UK, the time spent together is quality time and the relationships very are strong. Mark picks up on what he sees as another recent trend – rental enquiries soaring over the last few weeks with many applicants seeking an early foothold in Spain whilst they try on the WDA coursesSpanish way of life – but I hardly see a snapshot of activity over a brief few weeks period as a “trend.” This needs to be viewd over a longer period. Now here’s the point that I disagree with Mark over. He advises people to rent for a period of three to six months before they buy. “Until you have had the experience of day to day life in Spain, after the first blush of the love affair may have waned a little, you’ll not know whether you are happy to commit to the reality as opposed to the dream. In our experience, it also gives the potential buyer time to really look around. To find favourite locations, golf courses, restaurants, clubs, friends etc.” But I would argue that 3 to 6 months is hardly enough time to decide whether Spain is the place for you and renting instead of buying straight away can bring its own problems.khttp://fmplc.com.sg/infos/wsqfunding
