Hi all,

Planning to move to Valle del Sol from Uk

Just want to get information about the area. Pros and cons of living there, things to do and whether there are many expats in Valle del sol?

Thanks

Brian

Hi I moved there around 18 months ago, there are no facilities shops, bars etc although Balsicas has everything you need for day to day living which about 2 kms away, Mar Menor about 10-15 mins by car, new Corvera airport about the same, it's a meca for golf lovers, Murcia city is around 15 mins by car, I have lived in 3 locations in Spain and VDS is by far my favourite, anything else you need to know just ask and i'll do my best.

I can only speak for my circumstances, I have a 3 bed 2 bath villa with pool and my bills are leccy 64 euros received this bill yesterday, water 50-60 euros (winter), more in summer because of pool, IBI (council tax) 245 euros, I have a log burner which heats most of the villa 120 euros logs delivered, and 2 bottles butane gas for hob cooking a year, you say "refuge" do you mean rent or refuse (rubbish  collection), rent obviously depends what are your requirements and location, if rubbish collection I think it's included in water bill, VDS really is a lovely location to call home (my opinion).

Hi, IBI, logs and butane is annual, there are other costs such as health, car tax and ins, food but these apart from health you pay in UK anyway, oh and there is no TV licence/

I don't know the individual Carrals as they are called, but yes there are a lot of illegal builds, if the estate agent has any morals they will point this out to you, you can usually tell yourself by the price for example I was shown a property that in my opinion was worth 1/4 mil euros all day but they wanted 145.000 euros, a little advice I wouldn't go with a solicitor recommended by an agent, just get the property thoroughly checked out by an independent solicitor.
