I´m back
Having changed my property from a holiday rental to a long-term rental some years ago I´ve had little to contribute in recent times. Now I´m back! I´ve joined up with a friend of mine who runs a small business managing the bookings and running of a number of holiday villas in our area. I´m glad to s...

I think you should really question whether buying a second property is the best use of your money. I had 2 properties, an apartment and a villa, which I ran as vacation rentals for years. They were very successful and gave me a good income stream. I´ll admit that the income was not all declared to t...

Beware..Scandinavian golfers on Costa del Sol
I´ve been renting to Scandinavian (Swedish & Danish) golfers during the winter months for a number of years with no real problems - just minor damage and rather excessive electricity bills. This changed in 2017. A broken tumble dryer which had to be dumped, a soiled bed which had to be replaced ...

Presuming that your property is habitable then it´s easy enough to rent it out long term. The regulations which apply to vacation rentals do not apply and I´m presuming that this isn´t a shed in your back garden. What you should be aware of is the rights of tenants. While eased recently the laws hea...

Helen - that´s the mop I was talking about above. It´s excellent and beats anything else I´ve invested in hands down including some outrageously priced steam cleaner. It looks and actually is pretty flimsy but our shiny brown Spanish tiled floor has come up a treat and is even getting better. No str...

Blimey...I´m not an expert but this is what I bought. The mop which comes with a duster head and a mophead. I´ve tried those steam cleaners and God knows what else. Living in Spain with brown ceramic tiles on the floors is a giant PITA. No sooner are they cleaned than there are footprints all over t...
