My parents have recently bought a house in the Valencia region (not the city but the region) and its brilliant. You just get so much more for your money if you know what to look for and especially if you are willing to maybe find a property that needs a bit of doing up. Writing this comment from my parents' new place, I really can see myself live in Spain and everything here attracts me. It is the only other place I've felt at home than my home country. This video will for sure help me out in the coming years once I gather the money to by my own place in the area. Congratulations on your new property and hope to see many new and awesome videos (I'm guessing a lot more cooking videos too 😁)!
Never fear, the housing market will recover. It may take a while, but Spain is a "Destination" for a reason. Investors will drive up the market waiting for the inevitable return to tourism (which will, of course, create it's own issues...). I know I can't wait to get back to Spain! Congratulations on the purchase of your home! I hope it gives you wonderful moments and memories. 🥂 ♥️
Great video. We are currently living in Spain and have spoken about buying. Its so good to see "real" people, giving "real advice" and honestly. Can't wait to see more.
Congratulations guys! I bought my flat in Santiago de Compostela as an American for 90,000 euros. My community fees (HOA) are around 26 per month. And there was another 8% in purchase taxes I had to pay.
Hey,I would like to know how you found an affordable place. Hannaoyomikim@gmail.com. i am young but looking to get something and I do not want to be duped...lol
Comunidad = the equivalent of "HOA Dues" (in the US) for common areas, such as maintenance on the landscaping, shared amenities (pools, tennis courts, etc)
Hello I wish I had this when I started my search and purchase process in 2014. I made two house hunter trips from the US to Spain before finally finding my current place in 2014. I definitely agree with everything you shared. While I am still a non resident, I wanted to secure my place before retirement. I strongly recommend this as it helps you develop a better retirement budget. I recommend for retirement planning if you are fortunate enough to have your place fully paid off if possible. I’m patiently waiting for part 2. Again thanks so much. You are such a lovely couple.
I just bought in Cáceres in February too, Covid was a nightmare... We renovated and just moved in two weeks ago, paying rent and mortgage simultaneously for months was ideal... 🙄
@@spainrevealed No, very pretty but not super practical for day to day! We went for a 4 story chalet in an urbanización, for 160k because #extremadura 😅
Congratulations on this video guys! So interesting and informative! Although I don't know why I am watching it, being 27 y.o. and having low hopes of the future as it's presenting here in Madrid 😂 But you gave some useful advice that I think I'll be able to apply when I (finally) can get on looking for a flat to rent. Also my particular tip for Madrid in particular is that you can also broaden the search for towns outside Madrid but well-linked to it. I live in the mountains, in a well connected town and in less than 1 hour I can be in Sol! Also hell yes for exterior flats, my maternal grandparents lived in Barrio de Salamanca, 1st floor and only had ONE window to the street! All the rest were to 2 different very narrow and dark patios, so be mindful of those kind of flats in old buildings. And congratulations again for your new house! I'll be looking forward to next video 😁
A piso with a terraza makes a big difference. Having an outdoor space is great for summer, spring days to sit and chill or hang clothes. Personally I love the ones on the top floor with terrace that also have the advantage of having no neighbours upstairs that could be noisy.
This was really interesting. We’ve bought an apartment in Barcelona. We couldn’t finalise the purchase during lockdown so we stayed in a smaller apartment but it had a terrace and we loved it. Of course the place we purchased doesn’t have one 🤦♂️. We’re thinking of buying a second apartment later that has a terrace and we’ll rent out the current one. Lesson learned but I don’t think we would have noticed if we hadn’t had one for several months!
Thanks for another great video. My wife has been looking at houses in Spain for years. We hope that one day it will happen. Good info here. Cant wait till next weeks vid.
Thank you so much for posting this!! We will be buying a property in Spain in the (near?) future and have so many questions - especially when you read about all the shenanigans that can go on. This is super helpful!
Castilia leon is cheapest too, and is closed to Madrid. We have a lot of monuments and castles with their histories. We loved foreign people and we'd like you try our dishes. We'll wait you, when this nighmare finish.
THIS IS AWESOME!!! I'm super excited about this series of videos. It's my dream to live in Spain. I want to run an albergue there for pilgrims somewhere along the Camino Frances. :) Thanks for doing these!
I like your videos. It's interesting to watch them due to you obviously have a plot and know what to say without any "water" and you both are examples for other youtubers ❤
Congrats folks. I got lucky and bought my cottage 5 years ago in the mountains 45 minutes drive from Valencia (my favorite city ).Feels like the middle of the country but only a short walk into a town of 3,000 people that has everything and life in winter.A lot of expats want land in the campo but don’t consider life when they can’t drive.After I viewed gave a lawyer power of attorney and completed in a month.Sitting looking over orange trees,olives and pine and just need another life to explore Spain.Enjoy.
Here, normally the bank and the people make the following calculation: It is assumed that 33% of your monthly salary is for household expenses, water, electricity, gas, telephone, food, etc. Another 33% is for leisure, clothing, traveling, saving, etc. and 33% is to pay the mortgage. The monthly mortgage letter you pay should not exceed 33% of your monthly salary.
This is great and just what I needed! Thank you Yoly and James :) I'm hoping to buy a house in the Cantabrian countryside once this COVID craziness is over, but the thought of doing it alone and as a foreigner, was so intimidating that it kind of scared me away... but this video was more useful than you will know! :) Can't wait to see the next video. Serious question, once I'm in Spain, where does one procure a tiger, does it come free with the hot tub? :)
Thanks guys I’ve watched a lot of these videos and this is the best hands down. Very informative and easy to understand, really appreciate it. Look forward to part 2.
Thanks James and Yoli! very informative. Looking to buy a place in Malaga, Marbella or Almeria, so excited! Just found your channel recently and have been going through your videos, love them!
The pipes and electricity........ as i have learnt. In an older apartment block your pipes can be a major problem if they have not been renewed. Because of the design of the blocks renewing them may be very difficult and so expensive. Keep it in mind!
Very helpful & honest - good advice, I think, whether you'd be buying in Spain, US or Tasmania... You've been in a while, hope it really feels like home. Happy New Year! 🥂🦘🐾👍😎
One diference I notice is that you paid fir the agent, here in the US the seller pays that part, great information on this video, I fell in love with northern Spain and hopefully we can make our move in the future, we speak the language so that would be a plus when buying property, thanks for all the info!!
Home Owner Association fee: Fees paid by the residents for the standard community expenses, such as landscape maintenance, pool, fence maintenance, roof, etc.
Thank you both so much for your informative and honest sharing experience, it's very helpful and you really changed my plan from buying house in my home country to really considering buying a second home in Spain instead, what a great dream I wish to come true starting from your part 1 video, am looking forward to watch 2nd part to finalise my future plan 😀 You are a great couple as always, wish you both all the best in your new house 👏👌😃
Thanks for this VERY helpful video and telling us how much you paid. I confess, for that terraced apt. in Madrid, I was expecting it to be higher. Great stuff!
Pero la pregunta es... cuando nos dan el tour del apartamento!? Great video as always! (I’m falling in love with Spain and you’re certainly helping with that!)
Thank you so much for this video, I can't wait to see more. We are planning on moving to Spain as soon as we get a vaccine . Can't wait to start a new adventure.
Thank you for being informative and sharing your experience. I find it super valuable! Hopefully in the future i could practically use the guide which you have prepared. Thank you very much!
Guys, thank you soo much for so detailed information!!! I thinknyou ate the best source of information!!!! I am going to relocate to Spain 🇪🇸 😄 and only your information was so comprehensive and detailed!!! Thanks!!!
Hello! Did you follow the changes in the regulation recently? If I understand correctly the new law aims to support the small property owners and long term renters against the tourist property owners and AirBNBs. If someone wants to buy property in the future what should they expect?
After doing my DNA and finding out my roots are in Spain and Portugal, I traveled to both in April of 2019. I fell in love with Sevilla and Arcos de la Frontera. It's now my dream to retire to Sevilla, or at least move there as quickly as possible. What is the best way to inquire about the bathroom "plumbing" without being insulting? BTW, you posted this video on my birthday, so I considered it a sign that I stumbled across your video. First time viewer.
To one of my favourite couples love you guys a very informative video look forward to more. Any ideas if you will still be able to buy in Spain and become a resident after the transition period post brexit
What you were talking about paying for outside costs like to change an outside light globe etc in Australia its called the body corporate and we pay so much a year of half year to pay for those costs
I'm an Argentinian with Italian citizenship (now I have Spanish residency), and I bought a 20-year-old flat near Santiago de Compostela for €62.ooo (1 bedroom, facing south, lots of sun/light). I loooove the view
That’s a very interesting video!! I’ve taken note of many things you said for hopefully the future. I’d love to see a video of before and after of your apartment renovations!!! Home decor also 😍 Sending saludos desde Costa del Sol, Fuengirola 🤗 I’m British and have lived here for 16 years it’s my home!
watching this as i prepare to move to Castellon (Valencia) for a year --im hoping i can use some of this info when im *renting* an apt!(especially tips on what to look for lol)
Lots of 👍👍👍👍👍 Very informative as always. Was thinking about buying here in Sevilla until the world changed. This is on hold while I consider my options but get at least 2 "bajada de precio" notifications from idealist every day so prices are falling. Also don't know about Madrid but here in Sevilla a lot of air b&b places are coming onto the market as normal rentals and I assume to buy.
Amazing video. Can you tell me or can you make a video about properties in Valencia and why properties there are so cheap...i mean good looking 80sqm apartment in a good location can easily be found for 120-160000 euros (1500-2000 € per sqm). That's really cheap especially when you consider that spain as country isn't expensive at all
Consider getting out of Madrid ... It is cheaper and many times the life standards are better (depending on your work, ...). Pinto, San Martín de la Vega, 20 kms. south. First, rent until you know what is like living there.
Hi guys! Thx for the great channel and videos! Ive got two qns. 1. When you (or somebody else, or banks website) says that you can get financing "up to 80%", whay do you mean? Up to 80% of the property price or property price + purchase expenses (~10% more, incl. taxes). My logic says it should be % of the property price, but IDEALISTA calculator looks like beeing build with the logic "% property price + purchase expenses". Also what about "pledge"? Is the acquired property used as a pledge ("not mine property")? Can any other assets be used as a pledge or proof of credibility/funds? For ex stocks, other properties? 2. When should you pay ITP? Are there any deadlines?
Nice to see that you are continuing to add interesting content on RUclips. Keep up the great work. Hope to make our 4th visit to Spain next year. We are located in Orlando, Florida.
Congrats on your new home! Will you become the equivalent to Kirstie Allsop and Phil Spenser for English-speaking buyers in Madrid? Perhaps you should contact Channel 4 or HGTV or DKiss or Divinity to propose a property TV show focussing on English-speaking house/flat buyers in Madrid and the surrounding area. I'm sure you would make excellent hosts! ¡Abrazos y mucha suerte en vuestra casa!
Love this. I’m still uncertain about renting vs buying. Maybe you’ll talk about this in the future. As a senior, a lot of people have encouraged me not to buy. But what are the pros and cons to that? . Also would love to know what other barrios you looked at. I’m on a American expat group on Facebook and I’ll definitely be recommending your videos.
Hey you two!congratulations on all your success glad to see you’ve been able to change ,grow,expand and diversify !love the new concept !maybe in the future have a price of European (Spanish ) prices ,costs listing to Canadian and American $’ S .Man I hope the new people you have coming in with their knowledge know how important they are in representing the Spanish housing markets .Now this is going to be a future of cultures coming into your country talk about migration ! The world has changed good luck and thinkYolly should have flamingo glasses on her deck shoeless of course !lol
Do you as a buyer have to pay the real estate agent? Here in the US, the buyer doesn't pay anything to the realtor unless you are selling your home through a realtor. By the way, my wife and I do speak, read, and write Spanish as we are Colombian-American and Cuban-American and we were both born in Colombia and Cuba. Gracias por toda la información aportada. 🤔
Did you get Spanish citizenship. How did you move to Spain?? You got EU blue card or by some other means. It would be great if you could do a video on how to move to Spain
Hi, nice informative channel, however I didn't get you humour about luggage of cash to buy a house for cash, I believe most of people who willing relocate to spain and over 35 might not go for mortgage as its too risky to be dependent on job.
My parents have recently bought a house in the Valencia region (not the city but the region) and its brilliant.

Yeah, it's true -- just because it says 1st floor/exterior doesn't mean anything!
I'd definitely want a tiger in my to-be Spanish home :)
A gun would be more useful...for when the Reds come to steal it from you😁😁
I want a tigress
I want a tigress
Congratulations to you both .May you have many years of happiness in your new home.

You guys are great! I used to live in Madrid and planning to move back to Spain in a couple of years and buying a house in Costa blanca.
would love to hear the process about adding a bathroom and cost
Thanks for this VERY helpful video and telling us how much you paid. I confess, for that terraced apt. in Madrid, I was expecting it to be higher. Great stuff!
Fantastic tips,please do more of house hunting in different neighborhood for long term rental like three month and selling,great job
Im from Scotland and want to buy a finca in Castellon with my guapa mujer
I love your chemistry guys!!! You're awesome and thank you for information 👍
Pero la pregunta es... cuando nos dan el tour del apartamento!? Great video as always! (I’m falling in love with Spain and you’re certainly helping with that!)
Good info for new buyers although it can be different in other parts of Spain.
Good luck in your new home!
Hey GREAT video! You two are the BEST.
Thank you for the extra info 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video, I can't wait to see more. We are planning on moving to Spain as soon as we get a vaccine . Can't wait to start a new adventure.

Good luck with your new home! Can’t come home To Spain this year....😪
Hello!
Did you follow the changes in the regulation recently? If I understand correctly the new law aims to support the small property owners and long term renters against the tourist property owners and AirBNBs. If someone wants to buy property in the future what should they expect?
Watching this video in 2022. Seems the 'experts' were all wrong. What a shock :)
Outstanding video, just what I wondered about
I like your videos I like how you take the viewers everywhere I'm a home cook so tapas isn't my thing so the trips to the stores are my way of living.
Why did you choose Madrid over a coastal town?
After doing my DNA and finding out my roots are in Spain and Portugal, I traveled to both in April of 2019. I fell in love with Sevilla and Arcos de la Frontera. It's now my dream to retire to Sevilla, or at least move there as quickly as possible. What is the best way to inquire about the bathroom "plumbing" without being insulting? BTW, you posted this video on my birthday, so I considered it a sign that I stumbled across your video. First time viewer.

Hi guys! Thx for the great channel and videos!
Ive got two qns. 1. When you (or somebody else, or banks website) says that you can get financing "up to 80%", whay do you mean? Up to 80% of the property price or property price + purchase expenses (~10% more, incl. taxes).

Great video james will help alot
As always great video. You guys are awesome. Now that the house is out of the way, when will the first kid arrive?..... That would be owesome!
Somewhere in the middle to stay on motorbike trips would be nice.
Nice to see that you are continuing to add interesting content on RUclips. Keep up the great work. Hope to make our 4th visit to Spain next year. We are located in Orlando, Florida.
thank you!

Comunidad= Maintenance fee, or in USA HOA's (home owner's association) I love your videos....!
Very nice couple, and vey good advices. Gracias!!
Love this. I’m still uncertain about renting vs buying. Maybe you’ll talk about this in the future. As a senior, a lot of people have encouraged me not to buy. But what are the pros and cons to that? . Also would love to know what other barrios you looked at. I’m on a American expat group on Facebook and I’ll definitely be recommending your videos.
My community is like 5 times that with no pool lol but heating included
"la comunidad" in England is "service charge"
Or “levies” in some other countries. This covers maintenance, operational cost, security and insurance of all the communal areas and components.
Thanks for making this video. What other barrios were you considering?
Thanks!
If anyone needs Comunidad would be equivalent to HOA or service fees (here in the U.S anyway).
great stuff!

Do you as a buyer have to pay the real estate agent? Here in the US, the buyer doesn't pay anything to the realtor unless you are selling your home through a realtor. By the way, my wife and I do speak, read, and write Spanish as we are Colombian-American and Cuban-American and we were both born in Colombia and Cuba. Gracias por toda la información aportada. 🤔
Congratulations Yoli y James.....Tenerife....❤️
Great tips
Would you recommend Valencia for life? Is it a safe place to live? As I know in Valencia real estate is cheaper...
nice house ;). I am planing to move to Madrid in 2021. I live in Germany at the moment. I will just rent at first and see how things goes ;)
Wow, you paid a really good price. I live in a small “pueblo” near Madrid and here you won’t find anything for that price...
Did you get Spanish citizenship. How did you move to Spain?? You got EU blue card or by some other means. It would be great if you could do a video on how to move to Spain
Hi, nice informative channel, however I didn't get you humour about luggage of cash to buy a house for cash, I believe most of people who willing relocate to spain and over 35 might not go for mortgage as its too risky to be dependent on job.
