Happy New Year to you all,

I have a question and I apologise if it has been asked and answered before but I can’t seem to find any posts.

My wife and I are looking at making a permanent move to Spain in early 2023, subject to the normal entry requirements. We are trying to work our how much it would be approximately per month or year to live in an apartment on Las Terrazas del Torre golf resort. We are going to be purchasing so I don’t need to include that cost and I understand that the monthly service charges vary between €100-€150 a month so I don’t need those either.

I wondered if anybody who lives in a two bedroom apartment there could let me know the rough costs, e.g. telephone, internet, IBI charge, bin charge, gas, electric, water. This would be for the whole year or a monthly breakdown. If there are any other charges that I have missed I would be grateful if someone could flag these as well.

Many thanks in advance 

Food and clothing costs we would obviously work out ourselves as well.

If you are resident (and have been for 6 months or more) then at the moment you cant exchange driving licence…you must pass a Spanish driving test. You have until 28/2/22 and unless an agreement is negotiated your UK licence wont be valid.

Please look at CAB Spain website for details of timescales etc.l.
