Below,  we list five key motives why you should go to Spain, if you’re ready to start a new life or own a holiday home in the sun.

Not only is property cheaper in Spain, but the cost of living in Spain is too. Spain is 19.9 per cent cheaper than the UK in terms of consumer prices; eating out and groceries are 29.5 per cent and 16.5 per cent cheaper respectively. It’s not uncommon to pay €12 for a three-course ‘menú del día’, including wine and sea views. One euro for a coffee in a café is also not uncommon.The costs of utilities are not hugely different, but in the warmer parts of Spain, you’ll spend less on heating! A real bonus is council tax, known as IBI or SUMA, which is much less than the UK – for example, for a typical two-bedroom apartment in the Costa del Sol budget approximately €500 a year.

Move to Spain and your life should get longer as well as more enjoyable. A combination of the Mediterranean diet, relaxed al-fresco lifestyle and mild climate mean Spain is regularly rated as one of the healthiest countries

From multi-million-euro villas to bargain beach apartments and rustic fincas to chic city pads, the Spanish property market caters for all tastes and budgets. Average house prices are far lower in Spain, so selling up in the UK should mean you can purchase a home in the Costas and have some cash left over from the proceeds – a common scenario with expat retirees.

Most people buy on a complex or urbanisation with one or more communal pools and gardens. Some choose to be next to a fairway and part of a golf community. For a more authentic Spanish lifestyle where your money goes further, head inland to a rustic finca with olive trees or townhouse in a whitewashed village.

In most resorts along the Costas, it doesn’t take long before you bump into another British person. Despite Brexit, Britons remain the largest group of foreign buyers in Spain, accounting for around a fifth of all property purchases made by non-Spaniards in 2016. There are communities in the Costa Blancaand Costa del Sol where the UK population outnumbers all other nationalities.

It helps that English is often the common language!

Few countries can rival Spain for choice of flights to and from the UK. Low-cost carriers, such as Ryanair, easyJet, Monarch, Norwegian Air and Jet2, now link regional airports across both countries.
