Thread: Ready to go home

Hi,

Just by way of an introduction.

We have been here in Spain for just over 7 years and are now desperate to go home to the UK.

Hopefully the housing market and ecomony will recover soon so we can get back.

I look to this site with interest perhaps with other members in a similar position.

Kind regards

David

Hi David,
Sorry to hear you are desperate to get back I've just recently bought a place here and intend to stay the rest of my days in Spain. what made you give up after 7 years?

Hi Albotek

Sorry to hear about your plight but with a couple of marked exceptions I think most people here prefer Spain over the UK ;-)

You may find somebody would do a house swap/rent with you.....you will see many people desperate to get across to Spain ;-))

Hi Will,

Thank you for your reply.

I have to say from day one we thought our stay would not be long term , however , we became involved with a few projects that kept us here.

Also when we came we did not have and grand children so their arrival has been an added pull.

Our house is here in Spain but its never felt like home and we both miss home , I know its not far away but we feel that we dont belong here.

Going back is way over due , unfortunately , we got our timing wrong with regards to the housing market and the pound / euro.

If I had my way I would just walk away from what I have here and start again in UK by renting my property here and renting in the UK.

Kind regards

David

Hi JazminesII ,

Thank you for your message.

I would never discourage anyone from coming to Spain , persue your dreams.

Its just not for us.

I think a house swap will be the way forward for us at the moment , we are lucky enough to have a great property with bags of potential so fingers crossed on a deal asap.

Kind regards

David

Hi,

Thank you very much.

I am inland about an 1 hour or so from Mojacar.

Merry Xmas and happy new year to you and all.

Kind regards

I have been here with my wife for nearly seven years. I love it, but she would like to go back to the UK. At the moment with houses not selling it's impossible, but the way the pound is falling (and we live on a sterling pension) we may have no choice but to return. Not that things are much better there.

I'm so sorry that things aren't working out as well as you had hoped, I guess that the decision to changes your life doesn't always take into account the changes in families. Good luck!
