Spain, not France but they must be short of funds

Like pinching Gibralter, pirates!

It is a well known tax and something the Spanish solicitor should have pointed out perhaps.

A friend of mine has just bought a place in Tenerife.  It was on the market for ages at €70k, it seems there are many such places up for sale as Brits and others are desparate to sell up and go back to the UK.  He eventually got it for €30k and was assesed for 10% tax on a 'real' price of €60k.  He was quite OK with this, as he said, he got a cracking place for half the price of a year ago

They don't mention that on "A Place in the Sun"

I have a friend with a property in Tenerife who reckons that they are going up in value, so reading that has made me wonder. As they are not thinking of selling, then it doesn't really matter anyway.

And not much about eligibility for health care or indeed anything to do with health insurance, etc.  Mind you they do, now and again, say something like "the hospitals here are excellent" in a sort of broad brushstroke way and you could see it all just being glossed over.

I watch to see the different countries and especially different parts of France .  Gives you a bit of a flavour if, like me, you have no plans to visit in the forseeable future[8-|]
