Hi

A friend of ours in L’Escala has informed us that there appears to be someone living in our villa, due to Covid-19 we have been unable to travel to L’Escala since late 2019.  Any ideas on how to proceed, we understand that this is happening a lot in the area.  

Just wanting to get some insight into what kind of people - locals, students, workers, foreigners etc would come to live year round in Blanes?

I don't know the town that well. I live in Barcelona.

I am at the final stages of buying a flat in Los Pinos. Nice building, overlooks a park, close to beach.

Corner flat- so two long balconies, lots of natural light. 3 bedrooms. About 70m2

Real estate agency says most people wanting long term rental looks for 2 bedroom flats.

It needs renovation. 
Will put in new floorboards, bathroom, open kitchen, new electrics etc.

I guess wondering what kind of demand there is. What is average rent/ max rent someone would pay for a nicely renovated flat.
Have been researching a bit- seems average is about 550-650€.
Would need to charge on the high end or a bit more to cover my costs really.

Not too late for me to pull out of deal and mortgage etc :-)

Any clues?
Anyone here looking to rent a flat full time from May onwards? That's when the flat should be ready :-)
Am uploading some photos here- not of the Blanes flat, though of a small 40m2 flat I bought and renovated in the Borne and Barcelona.

We are really proud of the final look- this isnt' the final style we will do for Blanes. Though to give you an idea of what I enjoy doing.
P.S I'm not a commercial company, just an individual with an interest in all of this.

We have a property in Begur and have just received via the management company copies of outstanding IBI Tax Bills which have been sent to our Begur property which we haven’t been able to visit for 12months due to COVID.
We would like to receive and pay the bills electronically.

Can anyone give us guidance as to how we can set this up from the UK?

Hi there.  We are just about to sign on a property in Llanca.  Can anyone give any info regarding recommended local handyman or small building works builder and a key holder (not a big agency).  Thanks. 

Hi can anyone recommend where we can have a nail puncture repair done on our tyre please ?

We only speak a bit of Spanish so an English speaking place would be great if possible!

I have a Baxi Roca heating system on oil (diesel). The system doesn't heat enough cause low pressure.

Hi,

My wife and I purchased a property in St Feliu de Guixols before the end of the Transition period and we have been trying to apply for our TIEs. However, we are confronted by bureaucratic brick walls throughout.

Can anybody offer us some advice please.

Many thanks in advance,
