I don't blame you for wanting buy and rent. Los Alcazares is, to us anyway, heaven on earth. But a word of caution. I read (Murcia News??) that the Spanish Government will be making adjustment to non-residents taxation once afte 31st December as the UK will no longer be part of the EU. I think it said in line with other non-EU countries. You perhaps need to check out what your tax commitments will be on top of the service charges! I think the UK Government do give some good advice on their website. Or go on the Spanish Goverment site (use google translate if nece.)
Google Owning a property in spain after Brexit...or words that effect.
Personally, we never saw the benefit of buying a holiday property ourselves. We holidayed here for a few years before buying & retiring here. We just rented. Cost us less than some folk were paying for maintenance costs! No hassle, no responsibilities, no committments. We could come as often as we liked at a cost probably less than we'd have had to spend as owners. Biggest bonus of all -- if we got fed up of the place we just booked hols elsewhere.
Having said that, it may well be that you have considered all the angles and still decided that ownership is for you. I really wish you well and hope you will soon be looking forward to many wonderful holidays in the area.
