Hi, we have just purchased a property in Oasis HDA. Hoping to complete very soon and we will be over looking for furniture, mainly settee’s . Can anyone recommend somewhere to look.  I will also be offloading the standard green sofa that is in the apartment at the moment, as it is not my w...

Hi PJ, we bought our property through Resort villas murcia . Cornelis and his team were superb,   very professional. He sorted out the bank and solicitors for us , all very simple. 

You should budget for about 10% on top of your purchase price for all the taxes , insurance etc . We are really pleased with our purchase,  as a builder in the UK  i think the quality of the apartments are superb at a great price.  I have bought a LHD car in UK and will be driving down loaded with stuff soon

Hi Garry

I am also buying through Cornelius and have found them to be very helpful. Out of interest did you buy your LHD from a dealer or privately as I ma looking to do the same?

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul,  I bought it off ebay from a private sale . Its a Peugeot 208, it's originally from  Chech Republic, a chap bought it to take to his holiday home in Bulgaria but never got there because of covid.  I will need to register it when I get to Spain.  I was thinking of  buying a  car in Spain but they are quite old,high mileage and very expensive

Remember that if you buy a vehicle from outside Spain and then take it there, you need to have it 'matriculated' - it will need a new ITV (MOT), possibly adjustments to headlights and registered and put on to Spanish registration plates.

Also you will need to pay Import Duty, which is based on a depreciation versus the original new price of the car and it's emissions. This applies, unless you are bringing the car with you as part of your one-off permanent move to become a Spanish resident. Therefore, if you're buying a holiday home and want to import a car to leave in Spain, you need to pay the Import Duty.

I agree re the price of second-hand cars over there. Lots of cash and mileage. I need to sell mine here first and then buy one here to drive down.

Hi Rich T    yes I know all that and I am in contact with someone who can sort it all out for me. Its a bit more expensive than I anticipated but I will have  a good  runabout that will hopefully last a good few years
